Tribe 12 EP006 - A - Dubulation

Wax Poetics is proud to stream the Decoders' cover of the Rotary Connection joint, "I Am the Black Gold of the Sun," which was produced by the great Charles Stepney. The track features our homies Loren Oden and Brooke De Rosa.

Purchase the track on <a href="http://thedecoders.bandcamp.com/track/i-am-the-black-gold-of-the-sun">Bandcamp.</a>

Riding on the heels of their first single off of <i>Vol. 2 (Walk On By)</i> with its orchestral soul arrangements, the second single from <i>Vol. 2</i>, Rotary Connection's "I Am the Black Gold of the Sun," is an ode to the beautifully epic orchestral arrangements of producer Charles Stepney.

But this time, the Decoders have decided to venture into the Brazilian repertoire, incorporating Samba and Jazz elements into the group's psychedelic soul arrangement.

This version features <a href="http://soundcloud.com/wax-poetics/sets/venice-dawn-something-about/">Adrian Younge's Venice Dawn</a> vocalists Loren Oden and Brooke De Rosa on vocals, as well as Jungle Fire's Steve Haney on percussion and Brazilian musician Quetzal Guerrero on percussion and berimbau.

The artwork for the single is an original painting by Los Angeles–based artist Michelle Robinson. Michelle's work has been praised by Cee-Lo Green, among others. For more info, check out her <a href="http://www.michellizm.com/">website</a>.

kub_beat & MiU - Lonely 1 (a Cliff Richard Bootleg)

I decided to keep the track fairly mellow, and stripped it back a lot. I added a few drum samples to accentuate the beat, and made the drums and bass the focus of the track. I also used a vocoder to add a harmony to some of the vocals, to help boost the vocal a bit more in the chorus. I kept the structure fairly similar to the original as I thought it worked well with the track.
