Everyone loses. But some losses sting worse than others. This is a podcast about tough defeats. Hosts Sam Stein and Jason Cherkis talk to candidates who came up short in their bid for president, governor, senator and other elected office; those defined by YouTube moments and others who fell by painfully close margins. 
 
Looking back, these candidates give the listener an unvarnished, often-emotional picture of what life is really like on the campaign trail.  
 
Candidate Confessional is produced by Christine Conetta.

The unmistakable sound of independence, since 1978

Born and raised in Salem, New Jersey, the Nurons have been singing and performing together for over 40 years. Starting at a young age, the Nurons has traveled across the country performing and opening for some of the biggest acts in the business, such as Gladys Night and The Pips, Kool and The Gang, The Spinners, Patti Labelle, Blue Magic, and many more. Originally a 4 member group, but Raymond Gibson, the showman of the group and brother of lead Daryl Howard died in 2005.

The Nurons has worked with such notable producers and writers such as Manny Campbell, Tom Bell, and Gamble and Huff. Recorded in studios, Sigma Sound (Phila PA.), and Mercury Sound Studio (New York). The Nu-Rons are said to be one of the best groups out of the Philly/Jersey soul music scene at that time, releasing several 45's in the 70's  including the rare  classics "All My Life", "I'm A Loner", and "Disco Hustle".

Got into soul back in the 80's, 1984 was the year I started buying records (rather than just taping off the radio!), and I picked up 'Ain't Nobody' by Rufus & Chaka Khan, 'Somebody Else's Guy' from Jocelyn Brown, and Change's 'Change of Heart' amongst a whole host of others.

Listening to Tony Blackburn on Radio London led to Luther, Anita Baker and Maze, and eventually to the likes of Robbie Vincent, Andy Peebles, et al  Robbie in particular must be responsible for half my record collection.  From here I discovered the likes of By All Means, started searching out import US 12" singles at hidden away record outlets (I remember a couple of basements in Croydon - that hive of soul!), and started going to acts live.

I did some mobile DJ stuff, had a couple of turntables and a mixer in the bedroom, and had a stint doing some hospital radio.

All that got put on hold for a few years before I met Les Adams, 'the mix-doctor'!, and he encouraged and helped me to put a demo together for Solar Radio, and hey, presto!

Founded in 1996 by Peter Adarkwah, Barely Breaking Even (BBE Music) started life as a London club night, taking its name from the eponymous Disco record by the Universal Robot Band.

The label grew from the vibrant early 90's club scene with its first release, Stop & Listen compiled by Dr Bob Jones in 1996, opening the door to iconic series' such as All Back To Mine & Late Nite Tales.

A tonne of releases followed, ranging from Disco to Funk, Jazz to House. In the year 2000, the label celebrated Masters at Work's 10th Anniversary with a mighty box set that featured near 80 tracks.

A year later BBE Music spawned the Beat Generation Series of artist albums, notably introducing J Dilla (Welcome 2 Detroit) & a young Will.I.Am's first solo outing, alongside DJ Jazzy Jeff, Madlib & DJ Spinna, all of whom contributed to this seminal set of long players.

A quarter of a century and well over 500 titles later, having worked with Mark Ronson, Roy Ayers, Questlove, Hugh Masekela, DJ Premier, Dimitri from Paris, Joey Negro, Kon, RZA, Laurent Garnier, Black Coffee, DJ Shadow, David Rodigan and John Morales among many others, BBE Music looks to the future, celebrating its rich heritage while continuing to release a bounty of fresh titles.

The label’s most recent projects include an expansive reissue series from pioneering Nigerian label Tabansi, new imprint ‘Batakari’ in association with Boddhi Satva and the critically acclaimed ‘J Jazz’ Japanese Jazz multi-album project, not to mention the recent landmark 500th label release: a brand new version of 'Barely Breaking Even', featuring Leroy Burgess, Patrick Adams and Louie Vega.

In 2021 BBE Music is celebrating its 25th anniversary. To mark this milestone, the label is offering up some special projects, from the 20th Anniversary edition of J Dilla’s ‘Welcome 2 Detroit’, through David Bowie tribute album ‘Modern Love’, to a special new ‘Worldwide’ compilation from old friend Gilles Peterson. BBE Music will also be looking to the future with more exciting original artist projects, plus merch collaborations events and more...
