Late Nite Tuff Guy - Shelter Me

http://fortknox.bandcamp.com/album/radio-free-dc

Radio Free DC is the highly anticipated debut album from Washington DC’s funk and breaks masters, the Fort Knox Five. With an arsenal of floor rocking singles and remixes since 2003, the Fort Knox Five have the midas touch for producing heavy hitting records. For their new album, they have pulled out all the stops to deliver a record that takes the critically acclaimed ‘Fort Knox Sound’ to the next level. 

On their latest release, the Fort Knox Five take things back to their roots and keep the vibe centered around the city they love, Washington DC. As the home of many pioneering artists like Marvin Gaye, Chuck Brown and Fugazi, the Fort Knox Five draw upon their city’s rich musical heritage of funk, soul, punk and hip-hop for their inspiration. To help them realize their vision, the Fort Knox Five invited their closest friends from around the Nation’s Cap to help them create a record that captures DC’s musical diversity. 

Radio Free DC opens with a straight up old school party jam, ‘Insight,’ featuring Asheru, from the underground hip-hop group the Unspoken Heard. Asheru’s intelligent rhymes set the tone for the record “… music with a meaning, party with a purpose, being smart with the art makes the average folk nervous…” Long time co-conspirator, Mustafa Akbar, then takes centerstage on the album’s powerful, unifying anthem, ‘Funk 4 Peace.’ Showcasing their indie rock roots with a heavy dose of Funk and Soul, the Fort Knox Five enlist Ian Svenonius (from DC Hardcore’s Nation of Ulysses and The Make Up) to proclaim step-by-step instructions on ‘How to Start a Band’. Venturing deep into the heart of DC’s Jamaican Underground, the Fort Knox Five collaborate with Rootz and Zeebo from See-I, as well as the unrivaled, mic-specialist, Sleepy Wonder to deliver three of the album’s ragga fueled future classics, ‘Killa Sound Boy,’ ‘The Wonder Strikes Again’ and ‘Not Gonna Take It’. 

With Radio Free DC, the Fort Knox Five unleash their new campaign to shake the foundations of the establishment with 12 songs that inspire, incite and unite our generation to Funk 4 Peace!

See-I - Talking About Peace (Ancient Astronauts Remix)

I couldn't help it and i can't deny how good it sounds. this is just an edit to play on my dj sets, and i played it once and everybody wanted it right away. Honestly i was gonna wait to see if Solange or her team or whoever works for her wouldve ask me to do an offical remix so if they still want to, i could make it sound better than that version but ohhhhh, what the hell....
anyways i highly recommend you that new Solange album "A Seat At The Table".

Walls To Build (Mall Grab Remix)

Blessed By a Young Death

Satire

Beautiful piano melodies, ballads drawing their inspiration from jazz, classical music and cinematic imagery, hummed choruses, a mood at the crossroad of nostalgia and reverie, instruments with uncanny timbre and charm, chiseled percussions, added to a subtle electronic production, this is the recipe for Tout Va Bien, the second solo album by French composer Ezechiel Pailhes.

Even if he defines himself as a “jolly fellow” (which is confirmed by the music and reputation of his electro-pop duo Nôze), when chatting to him, he comes across as quite gentle and stellar, just like this collection of eleven tracks that he composed “in autarky”, entirely alone, in his Montreuil home studio.

Following the footpath of Divine, his first solo release from 2013, this album is however more intimate, marking Pailhes' taste for finely crafted moods and drifts.

In Paradisum

A track supposed to be a hip hop one... But then, Panagiotis Skraparlis came with lyrics talking about "The Circle Of Life"... 
He told her to **** and she went to ****, she told him to **** and so he did, he told him (to his boyfriend) to ****, so he did too and goes on.
 A great way to describe how easy it is to do a "sin" when you have the excuse that someone else told you to do. The voice of Georges Perin and the trumpets of Dimitris Dalezis put this track on a higher level. 

Musicians played:
Giorgos "Cayetano" Bratanis - rhodes, sampling, string machine
Georges Perin - vocals, harmonica
Dimitris Dalezis - trumpets
John Bell - bass
Alex Archodis - drums
