HI everyone! I've made the decision to remove the majority of my music from Soundcloud. Unfortunately it is not a sustainable platform for me. My music is available lots of other places if you'd like to listen. Or come drop me a line at emilieclairebarlow.com

Mike Freeman ZonaVibe
 
With spirited soulful swing rooted in Afro-Cuban clave, Freeman creates a distinct brand of mambo and salsa inspired jazz-Latin-blues. Dan McClaneghan of Allaboutjazz described him as "masterful" and ranked among other top names of the instrument. His performances have taken him from North America and Europe to the Azores, Caribbean, and South America. His recordings of original music charted on jazz, contemporary jazz, and World Music radio and aired on several nationally syndicated radio shows.

A Lower Manhattan Cultural Council grant recipient for Boricua Blues, Hell's Kitchen Soul Sauce, Latin Music in Hell's Kitchen, Freeman’s concerts have highlighted the rich musical history of his Hell’s Kitchen neighborhood.

Freeman is also known for his work and recordings with several acclaimed groups including Ray Mantilla, Jose Mangual Jr’s Son Boricua with Jimmy Sabater (an architect of boogaloo), Lucho Cueto’s All-star group Black Sugar, Julio Salgado, and Willie Villegas Joe Cuba Sextet. He performed with the Spanish Harlem Orchestra (directed by Oscar Hernandez) at Madison Square Garden and with Willie Villegas's Joe Cuba Sextet for New Jersey's salsa congress, both with legendary sonero Cheo Feliciano.

I'm an electronic music writer and producer residing in New Jersey.

The brainchild of lone independent musician Aaron Cloutier, Davola is an extreme metal assault on the senses while pushing the limits of what can be done creatively in the metal world. 

Brutal, melodic, exotic and all around  Schizophrenic, the music created by Aaron is the product of a man clearly suffering from a musical identity crisis who seemingly refuses to settle on any one specific style.......most likely stemming from a fear of commitment.

With a world of influences thrown in the mix ranging from the fury and intensity of SLAYER, SLIPKNOT and STRAPPING YOUNG LAD, to the meticulous polyrhythms and odd time signatures of Sweden's MESHUGGAH, it is difficult at times to confine the music into one genre alone.  

There's is an ethereal melodic element as well with twin guitar harmonies, sparse clean signing and massive chords sandwiched between the more technical and machine gun like riffs a la LAMB OF GOD and FEAR FACTORY.

Toss in a harmonic minor, middle eastern vibe and you've got one confusing style to label.  Is it death metal?  Is it thrash? is it progressive? and what's going on with all the acoustic elements?

Despite what would seem like nothing more than an exercise in musical excess, there is method to the madness.  The chaos is meticulously controlled, subdued and packed into tight, comprehensive heavy as hell anthems that serve to take the listener on a journey.  This is extreme metal from a composer's perspective with attention to song craft and  dare I say.... a pop sensibility. (THERE'S NO POP IN METAL!!!......or is there?)


So judging from all of this you might be left with one question among others....

Who does this guy think he is?  And WHERE does he think he's from?......
