Here I Come (Moods Remix)

After announcing her arrival with the single ‘Reckoning’ Izo won strong support from the likes of Clash Magazine, Blues & Soul, BBC London and Radio1 NL. Back with this equally amazing follow up, it’s hard to disagree with her as she declares in the song’s lyrics she’s “A force to be reckoned with”. 

Boasting an itchy footed bassline, screaming blues lead guitar, catchy horn licks and the tightest drums in the business (courtesy of her album producer Dr Rubberfunk) – Izo once again showcases her powerful vocal range and direct lyricism over the bouncing track. Remixes come courtesy of Moods and Flevans.

The latest track from 'Skyline' channels an upbeat, summery soul groove reminiscent of the Isley Brothers at their peak as she demonstrates the versatility of her vocal range.

The heartfelt lyrics plead with a significant other to wait for while she overcomes the trials and tribulations of life, it carries a message that can resonate with everyone. Disco don @hottoddy-1 on the remix and dub

Hope You Can Wait

Hope You Can Wait (Hot Toddy Dub)

Hope You Can Wait (Hot Toddy Remix)

Love or loathe Valentines, it was a good excuse for me to delve into the crates and pick out stuff I don't normally get to play when I DJ on a night out. I picked these love themed records to play at Ray's Bar in Dalston where I played on Saturday but decided to record them onto a mix at home today and share the LOVE!

Valentines Selection

The latest track to be revealed from Izo FitzRoy’s debut album ‘Skyline’ is album opener Day by Day. 

A stomping blues song inspired by the effects of the natural environment, global warming and specifically about Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans. 

The track is powerful and driving with deep, ominous lyrics about restoring the balance of nature.

DAY BY DAY  

V1 Chaos reigning free, another catastrophe, one more fateful day to see it through Heads are turning, spinning, moving can’t keep still Searching for an answer getting caught up in the thrill 

 CHORUS: She gonna take it back! She gonna take it back! She gonna take it back! She gonna take it back!  

V2 All the little things, insignificant little things There’s so much we hold so dear And those who stand up tall, who think that they know it all Hold on tight knuckles white with fear Walls crumble and fall, don’t have nothing at the end of it all Stop! Take a minute and breathe Oh lord she’s coming now, no time to mess around Hear the storms come rumbling!  

CHORUS: She gonna take it back! She gonna take it back! She gonna take it back! She gonna take it back!  BVS Day by day by day by day Day by day by day by day Day by day by day by day Day by day by day by day   Day by day Day by day Day by day Day by day  

V3 Chaos reigning free, another catastrophe, one more fateful day to see it through Heads are turning, spinning, moving can’t keep still Searching for an answer getting caught up in the thrill  

CHORUS: She gonna take it back! She gonna take it back! She gonna take it back! She gonna take it back!

Skyline (Album Mini Mix)

It’s been almost a year since Izo FitzRoy burst on to the scene with her debut single and ever since, this charismatic soul songstress has built an ever-growing fan base off the back of tireless touring and a series of strong singles from her debut album ‘Skyline’. Her winning combination of raw and powerful vocals and direct and honest lyricism has seen her gain support from the likes of Blues & Soul, Uncut, Eton Messy  and Echoes to name a few.

Written during her time living in New Orleans the title track from the album has become her live calling-card and this single package really packs a punch with not only the original version but three heavyweight remixes to accompany it. 

‘Skyline’ is an emotive and empowering gospel-tinged ballad that sees Izo deliver a message of how staying hopeful and focused on the future when going through troubles can help you overcome anything. The delicate and subtle instrumentation is perfectly contrasted with her soulful vocal lines and uplifting lyrics.

The Pendletons "Funk Forever" EP out worldwide on March 30.
Pre-Order 12" / Digital --> https://thependletonssf.bandcamp.com/album/funk-forever

The Pendletons return with their latest EP, Funk Forever, a Jazz flavored boogie affair with soul inspired song-writing that evokes old school vibes while still staying fresh and current.  Horn lines, Yamaha dx7 keys and snapping hip hop inspired drum programming topped by sweet singing with heartfelt themes, the group carves out a bold new sound on these 5 solid tracks.  Featuring Elive, Potatohead People and Ishtar. 

The Pendletons are a long-standing boogie-funk and modern soul project of E da Boss (of Myron and E on Stone's Throw) and Trailer Limon. The group emerged with their very first release in 2010, a 7" inch of "Coming Down/Waiting On You" on the Slept On record label, which set the tone for the group to emerge... it instantly became a cult classic receiving constant play at nights like Sweater Funk and Funkmosphere, and fetching for serious sums among collectors. Most recently, in 2016, they released the EP “Gotta Get Out”.  The title track caught the ear of renowned DJ Gilles Peterson, who liked it enough to release it on his Brownswood Bubbler compilation. 

In 2018 the group is hitting the ground running with a brand new EP out this spring, and a full-length album to follow later later in the year on the renowned Bastard Jazz label.  Now armed with a horn section, a vast array of accomplished jazz and funk contributors, and a knack for quality song-writing, the Pendleton’s sound has shaped into something fresh and unique, setting it apart from the legions of imitators.
