Tell Me. is a downtempo boom bap vibe that rides over a piano hook that I layered some lofi vocals and synthy horn lines over. It features a distinct vocal sample I created through an AI program using a voice similar to that of 50 Cent that says, “Tell me its real, that feeling that we feel”. Essentially this line is asking for reassurance that euphorically-connected feelings of happiness, trust, closeness to others and enhanced emotional empathy won’t ever go away

Tell Me.

Shuj Roswell is the latest musical creation of Denver's own, Mark A. Cooley. Releasing his debut album on Michal Menert's Super Best Records label in 2015, he carefully curates vinyl samples of 60's and 70's funk and soul as a foundation for his production. Fusing traditional sample based hip-hop techniques with warm analog synthesis and hard hitting beats, he sets the table for a sound within the Electro Soul movement he calls, Funk-tron-a-delic.

When playing out, Shuj Roswell Live takes the musical experience to the next level by bringing live instrumentation into the mix. Mark plays guitar and is accompanied on stage by drummer and good friend, Eric Imbrosciano. Eric comes from a hip-hop, funk, and jazz background originating from his early years gigging in and around the New York music scene. He injects a soulful vibe into the Shuj Roswell live sound from laid back hip-hop grooves to drum & bass breaks. Eric also performs in the jazz-fusion quartet, Space Orphan. You might have run into him as he hosts several open jams around the Denver area

In addition to his drummer Eric, Shuj Roswell Live consists of emcee, J. Shook, who’s recorded vocals on several Shuj Roswell tracks and a rotating who’s who on saxophone, trumpet and trombone. Mark recorded with and sampled his live band in the studio on the EP, Shuttlecock

Shuj Roswell has performed along side the following artists: Daily Bread, Michal Menert, Maddy O'Neil, Marvel Years, Late Night Radio, Break Science, Exmag, Blockhead, Adam Deitch, Borahm Lee, Chris Karns, Funkstatik, Birocratic, Alvin Ford Jr, Russ Liquid Test, The Werks, Paul Basic, Tnertle, Kevin Donohue (Sunsquabi), Mux Mool, Mark Farina, David Murphy (STS9), Lucid Vision, Nosaj Thing, and Analog Son among others
