Special thanks to Chris Offutt  for giving me space on the Proton Radio platform, and to Jeremy Linden and Kerry Linden for providing me a quiet space to record...and am not interrupted by yelling at my kids! 😉 As well, Thanks to Valerie Nathan for the inspiration of the use of the word 'Apricity' (which means the warmth of the sun in winter) for the mix...when she posted this word, I built it from that, during the solstice.  It is from me to you...hoping you are somewhere feeling some warmth as we climb our way out of the cold and darkness.  Hope you can  tune in..and let me know your thoughts!

Reel People Music breathes new life into its gleaming vault of back catalogue classics with brand new series Fusion Moves. The series will offer talented music-makers the opportunity to remix and reinterpret label releases of their choosing, kicking off with soulful progressive Kaidi Tatham in the hot seat.

Tatham’s modus operandi is clear from the get-go. Opening selection Sebb Junior feat. Paula’s All Of My Life flows dreamily upon that trademark Tatham mix of organic beats, polished horns and immersive keys. As Paula rightly sings, “the beautiful can happen.” And keep happening…. Reel People feat. Mica Paris’ reworked I Want To Thank You gains elegant funk and boogie bounce, a bubblin b-line and those upweighted backing vocals adding new urgency and depth, whilst some extended bass-end manoeuvrings on the collective’s 2020 hit Save a Lil Love provide a hugely effective counterpoint to Eric Roberson’s super-smooth vocals.

Tatham switches things up for his re-take of The Realm x Atjazz x Kelli Sae’s deep afro-house burner On The Road, adding wonderfully carefree jazz-funk flow ‘n’ feeling replete with sweet synth solos and guitar licks. The snappy syncopated rhythms propelling Daz-I-Kue feat. Hadiya George’s Pedigree and Monkey Brothers feat. Sean Escoffery’s stunning Losin’ My Head align to the rich broken beat heritage for which most admirers associate him but, true to form, he continues to glide compellingly between mood and moves….

From the loose bass-guitar groove of Eric Ericksson & Reel People feat. Debra Debs’ Don’t Hold Back On Love and sultry strut and swagger of AAries’ Don’t Give It Up to Sebb Junior feat. Muhsinah’s infectiously jammin’ Special – lovingly framed by nimble jazz-piano play – and the liberatingly upbeat dressing applied to Tony Momrelle’s seminal Fly, Tatham’s sonic upholstery right across Fusion Moves is as skilful as it is impactful. One expert body of work built upon another.

“I know Reel People Music’s discography so well that I had a pretty immediate sense of the tracks I wanted to work with once they gave me the keys to their kingdom,” Tatham explains. “For each song I closed my eyes, imagined playing them live on stage and let the chords and musicality fire from there. My sound incorporates so many different styles, from hip-hop and broken beat to soul and disco. It’s a perfect fit for Fusion Moves. The Reel People team share my mission statement to make people dance, smile and think.”

Based in Belfast, Kaidi Tatham is the multi-instrumentalist, producer and DJ who helped to define West London’s iconic broken beat sound during the late Nineties but who has continued to operate beyond genres and pigeonholes – be that via albums including In Search Of Hope, Bandana and Don’t Rush The Process, his dance music-focused pseudonym Agent K and a raft of collaborations including those with Bugz In The Attic, 4Hero, Amp Fiddler, Amy Winehouse and Slum Village.

Reel People Music is a label borne out of the soulful success of acclaimed collective Reel People but representing so much more. Launched in late 2009, the imprint has built a fiercely loyal international fanbase through its passion for artist development, musicianship, song-craft and soulful groove. Label alumni include Tony Momrelle, Portia Monique, The Layabouts, Kelli Sae, Sebb Junior, Opolopo, Angela Johnson, Emmaculate and Mothers Favorite Child.

Expect to hear further Fusion Moves in the coming months. Fresh twists on quality songs and sounds. Always with soulful authenticity at the heart.

Sourires Presents KEEP ROLLING - 18.09.24

"Let the Love Shine Through" - A passionate contemporary R&B track blending fervent devotion, futuristic pulses, and soul-stirring harmonies. Experience love as a transcendent hymn of faith and vulnerability.

Lyrics:
In the heart of this city, we chase the light, oh
Hands raised to the heavens, love always feels right, uh
Whispers in the dark, a promise we’re keepin
Echoes of our dreams, in prayer we are weepin
Your spirit soars like a bird, look how it flies
Through the trials we face, only truth in our eyes

Let the love shine through, faith is showing
How will I feel, if you don't let it flow

Your laughter like melody, fills up the room
With each note we share, we’re chasing the bloom
This rhythm so divine, calling higher, higher
No fear in our hearts, we rise like fire 

Let the love shine through, faith is showing
How will I feel, if you don't let it flow
Let the love shine through, faith is growing
How will I feel, if you don't let it show

So come and find me, in the stillness we blend
With every heartbeat, on you I depend
In the sacred silence, our spirits align
Together we’ll rise, in the glow we’ll shine

Let the love shine through, faith is showing
How will I feel, if you don't let it flow
Let the love shine through, faith is growing
How will I feel, if you don't let it show

While utilizing AI generation for initial concepts (pictures, album art, lyrics, musical foundation), this music is the result of extensive and documented human creative direction, editing, and production. Manual and complex AI-prompting shaped the raw material. Lyrics underwent significant manual editing for narrative, flow, and emotional impact. The core musical composition was refined through human arrangement choices. The production involved intensive manual mixing and mastering: multi-stem editing, stem correction, octaving, precise cuts, gain staging, dynamic balancing, low-frequency mono processing, pocketing and boosting energy points, bass excitation, sculpting bass harmonics, detailed sound design, effect application, side-chaining, compression, multiband dynamics, tempo fine-tuning, equalization for clarity and reduction of muddiness, loudness optimization, panoramic placement, frequency analysis, targeted high/low-frequency cuts, and LUFSi correction.

Let the Love Shine Through (AI-aided)

A lo-fi instrumental journey through rain, memory, and calm. “Drift Away” feels like a slow exhale after a long day — soft beats, vinyl crackle, and gentle guitar chords melting into the sound of rain.

No words needed — just warmth and reflection.
Every note drips like raindrops on glass, every Rhodes chord hums like comfort at midnight. It’s nostalgic, intimate, and quietly healing — music for coffee cups, candlelight, and peace of mind.

Perfect for study sessions, rainy nights, or self-reflection.
It’s not a song to move to — it’s a song to be still with.

🎧 Genre: Lo-Fi / Chillhop / Ambient Jazz
☕ Mood: Relaxed, nostalgic, introspective
🌧 For fans of: Nujabes, Idealism, Jinsang, Lofi Girl

PAUL MORCHEEBA MIX FOR RAMSGATE MUSIC HALL DJ LEGENDS

Podcast for Oki-ni: http://www.oki-ni.com/mix-series/ms105-no-regular-play

"Scanning the airwaves for their early influences and inspirations, the Brooklyn duo present a radio-style mix that charts their diverse musical background - flipping between Madlib and Miles Davis, Battles and Bjork.

Both accomplished musicians in their own right, Greg Paulus and Nick DeBruyn flirted with various genres and musical forms before falling in love with the innovative electronic music championed by Wolf + Lamb.

Friends since the age of 8, the pair were first influenced by iconic jazz and hip-hops acts in the vein of A Tribe Called Quest, J Dilla and Miles Davis. Dedicated to music, Greg started playing trumpet at local jazz clubs in his teenage years and together the pair travelled to Cuba's Havana to study Afro-Cuban rhythm, music and culture. 

Around 2008, the duo met Wolf + Lamb founders Zev and Gadi, and immediately began a fruitful musical and personal relationship. No Regular Play was the result and now the group's first album, Endangered Species, has been released to much acclaim.

Taking them right back to their musical roots, this is what the guys had to say about their mix:

'This is the first mix in a series we hope to continue called, Inspirado Radio. The idea was to include music that we listened to while growing up that really inspired us and shaped our collective musical taste and style before we started producing on our own. 

'We wanted to include many different genres of music, so we thought we would make the mix sound as if you're tuning through the radio and landing on different stations: jazz, hip-hop, oldies, college radio, etc. This also gave us a chance to do some fun radio drops :) 

'Hope you enjoy!'"
