August 2020 Discoveries.

Many people simply want to hear and enjoy some great new music without having to waste time searching for hours. These Musical Discoveries collections aim to fulfil those needs. At least, we hope so! :)

This playlist is a compilation of the favourite musical discoveries of the Wud Records team from everything they heard at SoundCloud during August 2020.

Tracks have been arranged according to the number of plays at the time of publishing, starting with the fewest. Tracks that are early in playlists tend to receive more plays than later tracks, and we feel that the ones with fewer plays need the best chance of exposure.

This playlist is extremely eclectic, so if the track you are playing isn't quite doing it for you, try the next one. It will probably be completely different.

If you enjoyed listening to something here, please give it a like and a repost. Follow the artist. Give them a shoutout on social media. Check out some of their other tracks. Buy something from them and your support will help them to keep going. Doing any of this will help raise their profile. At the very least you might make their day. :)

If you happen to be on this playlist, please share, and give us a shoutout on your social media feeds - because if we spot it, it gives us another opportunity to repost you and big you up. Please listen to as many tracks by the other great bands as you can, and... enjoy!

August 2020 Discoveries

NOVEMBER  2020

BUY JAMIE'S MUSIC

Best of SoundCloud

An exploration in reggae universe with my old clarinet  ;-)

Clari-Reggae

Together.    A remarkable gathering of more than twenty of my favorite SoundCloud musicians.  Guitars, keyboards, basses, tenor sax, clarinet and vocals. Together's musicians are serious creative instrumentalists and are inspirations to so many.  Many are recording artists.  The finest players I know here.   So many are simply remarkable.
   
Together represents what SoundCloud is about, and how effectively musicians can work across the world.   Musicians who have never ever even spoken with each other, but recognize each other by their sounds and the notes, rhythms and phrases they play.  Pretty damn cool.

12 countries are represented here  -- Canada, Dubai, England, Germany, Italy, Japan, The Netherlands, Norway, Scotland, Spain, Sweden and the US.   

There are two sections to the piece - a blues piece and a modal fusion section, with soloists across each part, showcasing their distinctive voices.  Vocalatti's beautiful singing is woven throughout the piece - her words and voice really pull us together.  The wonderful keyboard head during the opening and closing was composed and performed by Calaminus, who also has added the great organ comping you hear throughout.   The first and last soloists are brilliant musicians and soloists, as are so many throughout.    

It's been such a pleasure to pull this together over the past 3 weeks.  So sit back and enjoy a true SoundCloud experience.    

We thank you so much for your time listening, your comments and your shares to followers and social media.  And thank you for your exploring and following these wonderful players and voices on their instruments.

About a month ago I released a solo flamenco nuevo piece for acoustic guitar called The Ornament of Solitude in the style of Soleá. I felt that it could have an alternative instrumentation by adding a string section and some extra percussion here and there. This is regularly done by the flamenco guitar greats causing a more ballad kind of feel to the music. 
As I like both versions, the original pure guitar and percussion one as well as this more romantic version, I decided to share this one with you as a reprise and surprise. Some of you already had a sneak preview, but now here it is for every one to hear...

I hope you will appreciate this new take on my earlier release and as always very much appreciate your shares, comments and likes. Thank you!

Let's Get This Bread

It's five o'clock in the morning, and I can't seem to stop my mind from ticking.....

5 O'Clock In the Morning (feat. Sheela Gathright)

ع بالي إسهر .. ع بالي إرتاح

    ع بالي سافر .. ع بالي لاقى المفتاح

    ع بالي أمور السما ع الأرض تنحلّ

    غير هيك .. ع بالي فكّر

    ع بالي شوف ناس

    ع بالي إكتُب عن يالّي ما بينشاف

    ع بالي حِلّ هالعقدة الـ ما عم بتروح

    ما معقول شو نِكتة

    ع بالي كون الفرق بين الأرض والهوا والبرق

    شو في ع بالك .. حخفف ع بالَك

    في ع بالي كتير

    حسمعك بالي .. ما عليه بلاوي

    الهوا ع بالي حيطير

    ع بالي إمشى ببحر نضيف

    ع بالي أصحاب يكون بالُن خفيف

    ع بالي كِل الشعب ع نفس الموال

    ع بالي إسبح .. ع بالي إفرح .. ع بالي إسرح

    ع بالي إمرح .. ع بالي إفلح .. ع بالي إطرح

    عليكُن سؤال بيحرج .. مين

    مش مرتاح البال

    متِل مل قلت

    ع بالي الأمور بين السما والأرض تنحلّ
