Welcome back, i've had to take some time off the past couple of weeks because i've been ill and fatigue. I was also congested for a month straight from traveling, lack of sleep, and hitting different climates zones -- you can hear it in my voice in the previous shows. Anyways, there wasn't a LIVE show on Rinse.FM today because they are curating special programming for their 20 year anniversary celebration this weekend and next weekend. We won't be back live on air until Saturday, October 4th. 

I couldn't go another week without doing the show so I just recorded privately on my own. I have some great music in here and tried to balance it with new and classic tracks like always. Enjoy!

Soulection Radio Show #186

RIDE Album Description
(From NoiseTrade.com)

The Smooth Jazz Symphony (known in some sectors as Jason Carroll, Jason Carroll and the Smooth Jazz Symphony, or The "Prince" of Smooth Jazz) has released a third installment labeled "RIDE" (all caps a necessity) which has turned out to be an utterly delightful number. After following Carroll for years, we can honestly say that this is by far better than anything he's ever done, plain and simple. Depending on your tastes, whether you gravitate towards the uber-cool vibes of Brian Culbertson, Norman Brown, Kool & Klean, or Pieces of a Dream, this is certainly a nominee for one of the best smooth jazz albums released in a very, very long time.

This 11-track album features songs that seem fittingly yoked for the simple title. "RIDE" is a summons for listeners to cruise in their vehicles whilst listening to the sounds of the Smooth Jazz Symphony’s album. “Rush Hour,” for example, fits the bill of its title; simultaneous melodies move in conjunction during the chorus akin to vehicles moving in the same direction in heavy traffic. Additionally, there are no cut-and-dry verses. Instead, various instruments exchange slight melodic improvisational riffs in turn, creating a sense of “extremely organized chaos” for the lack of a better phrase. “Cruise Control” is another song that seems appropriately titled. Press play and press the cruise control button in your vehicle, and you’re in the exact setting you need to be.

We feel that many listeners will enjoy “Top Down” and “Backseat” most of all. It doesn’t take a genius to decipher what is suggested by the latter; sultry and divine seem to illustrate this song best. “Top Down” is one of those songs, however, that can instantly uplift an individual’s spirits. Life is good, ride with the top down. How’s that for an explanation? We really can’t think of any other way to describe it. All in all, smooth jazz fans certainly have something to look forward to this year in “RIDE.” A little side note: We don’t come across this often, but literally every track on the album is of radio eminence, and this is no exaggeration.

What beats the hell out of me is why this album is free. Maybe it’s a marketing ploy, but you rarely, if ever, see anything other than hip hop go to fans without a price. Mixtapes are commonly utilized in rap, but I can honestly say that I don’t recall ever seeing a jazz album released as a free download. But, hey, who’s complaining? Listeners certainly have nothing to lose and everything to gain with a free and excellent release. A must-buy…or must-download.

It's so tight being able to take the show where ever I go. I did the show out of the Hyatt Hotel in Atlanta, Georgia. I was in town for A3C Fest wrapping up my Good Vibes Only Tour. Being able to take the show where ever I go and capture the culture while expressing myself is such a blessing. Shouts to the WERC crew.

This week I had my dear friend and colleague Lakim as a special guest. We did this interview from the rooftop of our HQ in Highland Park! It was definitely good vibes only. We talked about life, his plans, how to deal with writer's block, DMV, why artists/djs should move to L.A., & more. 

We are also launching Soulection TV via our YouTube channel: http://youtube.com/soulection and will be uploading the video interviews from these shows. Stay tuned. 

Catch you next week.

It's been long over due but we were finally able to get Carmack one on one. He is definitely one of the most forward thinking artists of the new generation. If you produce then there is a good chance that you know who Carmack is. He has inspired many all over the world and has pretty much created his own genre of sound. How many times have you heard another producer make a beat similar to his and say to yourself, "CARMACK"!?

This guy has been a big part of Soulection's growth and history and it felt good to finally sit down with my bro to talk about his growth and current inspirations. We talked about how his move to L.A. changed his life, how he feels about other producers who create music that sounds like his, his relationship with drugs and why he calls his music drugs, when we can expect the next album, and much more. 

There is also 50 minute mix of Carmack's gems from his early days to the present. Look out for the video of our interview session via our YouTube channel: http://youtube.com/soulection  

Catch you next week.

We're getting close to Show 200! All of the sleepless nights of digging, pressure, amazing guests, and crew support have helped make this all possible. The past few shows have been really about digging deep in the vaults for the forgotten. The first half of this show is full of a lot of new material that was inspired by @kronika-selekta. Make sure you check out her likes, she got some crazy digs. Spread this music and radio session to your people.

*Will Downing, “The Prince of Sophisticated Soul”, has another alias amongst close friends…”WD Chocolate.”

It’s no small coincidence that you can use the same words describing the taste of chocolate to define the “Will Downing sound”?  Don’t believe it? Let’s test it.
