🎶please FOLLOW me for NEW releases😊...... It's all about expression...this is part of my 20 year legacy portfolio (under DJ aliases) of live mixes (including vinyl) to make the classics live again!..my music style comes from blending sounds that normally wouldn’t live in the same space or time - I love taking familiar groove tracks and reimagining them with new energy, whether that’s through creative sampling, stems, correct key, loops, adding subtle beats, unexpected transitions, or layering vocals over completely different instrumentals - see my track list here: https://soundcloud.com/ch_risk_1   I hope you enjoy the vibes and please share it across all generations, so everyone can join in my New Groove! 🎶 💞  a big Thank You to Pioneer, Rekordbox, Albleton and Remix live, who provide all my beats 🥁and also all the original artists. Where would DJs be without you and where would artists be without DJs🙌

En Vogue's Never Gonna Get it DJCK Remix Edit

Recorded entirely on vintage analogue recording equipment packed into a disused garage in Leeds, the LP features the vocal talents of Gospel-inspired Soul singer Rachel Modest. Taken from The Magnificent Tape Band's forthcoming debut LP “The Subtle Art Of Distraction”, 'Danger' lays down an ominous groove with tuff hooks and a powerful vocal performance from Rachel Modest. 

The Magnificent Tape Band are the alter egos of ATA Records founders Neil Innes & Pete Williams, who were the creative driving force behind the debut album by The Sorcerers, for which they wrote and produced all the tracks as well as contributing bass and guitar performances. Sheffield born, Rachel Modest developed her unique vocal ability within the churches and gospel choirs of her local community. Now based in Leeds, she has developed a powerful and soulful vocal style that takes inspiration from artists such as Madeleine Bell, Dee Dee Warwick, Dusty Springfield and at times delivers a performance that resembles the falsetto of The Delfonics' William Hart.

Taking inspiration from the more abstract end of the Soul spectrum that has been a richly tapped vein for Hip-Hop producers, The Magnificent Tape Band aim to create an evocative tapestry of sound that pulls together Psychedelic Soul with British Library Music to create a distinctly dramatic sounding record. Recorded on original '60s equipment, using vintage instruments, "The Subtle Art Of Distraction" immediately brings to mind the more experimental Psychedelic Soul records of the late '60s and early '70s by incorporating a driving clavinet, loping drums, swirling organ, and vintage Mellotron alongside Rachel Modest's ethereal and powerful vocals.

The record is definitely one to watch out for if you're a fan of the Big Crown Records catalogue, The Sorcerers, Mulatu Astatke, or any form of Soul-inspired Hip-Hop.

Two years after an acclaimed first album, Al Sunny and Favorite Recordings proudly present "Planets", carrying on their collaboration and bringing it to another level. 
Al Sunny is a young and talented singer/musician/composer emerging from the French soul music scene.

During his conservatory studies, he refined his knowledge and confirmed his desire to write and compose. He quickly matured the music that he truly loves, inspired by artists such as Tim Maia, America, Al Green, and Al Jarreau. Giving birth to the majority of his compositions through his guitar, he always seeks to bring his songs’ melody to the forefront.  
During his studies he kept experiencing live performing on different scenes and confirmed his choice for a musical career, while also meeting many brilliant musicians, including Florian  Pellissier, who later introduced him to Pascal Rioux and Favorite Recordings.

It resulted in 2017 in "Time to Decide" release, a dazzling first album establishing Al Sunny’s music and writing style, looking towards the 70s and 80s Westcoast movement, infused with Blue-Eyed-Soul, Pop and Folk flavors. Built on the same influences, "Planets" is made of 8 new  compositions  (including a  CD  and  digital  bonus), and is clearly a continuation of  its cadet, asserting Al Sunny’s talent and singing skills. Fully recorded live and analogic in  Paris, this  new  albumalso  stands  out  by  an impressivelevel  of  production, faithful to some  classics of the genre.
Mixing catchy melodies, soulful vocals, warm and heavy bass, strong beat and beautiful guitars and keyboards harmonies, "Planets" just perfectly meets the AOR and Modern-Soul golden era standards.

Have Space Suit Will Travel, pt 1 - The Greg Foat Group

fresh mix from mojo club founder and original jazz rocker oliver korthals on the net instead of playing live at mojo’s jazz cafe tonight. turbulent times require an equal selection: hoping from early eighties club classics including herbie hancock’s benchmark hit „rock it“ into heavy disco beats like azymuth’s „jazz carnival“ ending up in todays versatile grooves. if music is the healing force this one will cure you from all aches and pains. stay healthy, stay home!
