Booker T in Space - Wurlly and Hammond on overdrive and out of this world

Frequency Jam - 2025

60's/70's Memphis R&B meets late 18th century British romanticism...music ensues.

William Bell & William Blake

Night Ponder

Funky, catchy song with solid groove, piano, guitar, saxophones. 60’s/70’s soul/funk. 

HOOKS

draco (souljaszn)

Let me try this one more time:  The Interbay track "Listen (Aylala)" has been unfathomably ignored by the algorithm--it deserves more than only 4 listens.  Even if it turns out you don't like the grindy sort of club industrial music that song is...you should hear it to decide for yourself.  Please--go give that track a listen (it is from earlier this week, so it isn't too hard to find) before coming back and giving today's track its own attention.  Thank you!  

OK--on to the SoundCloud Exclusive Interbay track for March 28, 2025...and THIS may be a first.  

As you know, Interbay tracks can sound like anything--it could be electronic dance music, singer-songwriter indie pop, disco, new wave, drum & bass, ska...whatever is the sound that's in my head is going to be where that day's production takes me...BUT, as I've said in these descriptions many times, whatever genre or style I might be aiming at...it all ends up sounding like Interbay (more than anything else, including the intended genre or style.)  

...but THIS one?  I think I nailed it.    

I wanted a 60's style Motown-vibed pop R&B/soul track.  Horns, guitar, a fluid bass, a strong male vocal lead, background singers...and that's what this is!  

I wanted that 60s pop song structure--introduction, chorus, verse, repeat, fade out...and that's what this has!  

It isn't a slave to the retro-vibe, though.  I didn't add any vinyl noise, any dust or scratches.  The claps sound a lot more electronic than they would have been back in the day (though, not enough that I felt justified in adding the "Electronic" tag that most Interbay songs earn--so, if you see me in the next few days begging you to check THIS track out, it's because it might not be recommended to the people that normally get Interbay songs recommended to them...)  

Could this be a modern retro-styled throwback to those days?  I think it could.  Like, I could imagine Bruno Mars doing this song--but in a video where it looks like he and his band are performing on the Ed Sullivan show (or something similar.)  

As those of you who have been paying attention, the motto for this crazy Interbay music project is "Learn by doing, make your mistakes in public"--and THIS might be a sign that lessons are being learned, that I have improved enough to at least hit the target I'm aiming for...for once!  

I hope you give this a listen and embrace the spirit this song has been crafted to be.  Give it a like if you do.  Repost it so others can enjoy it.  Share it so your friends hear it.  Add it to a playlist so you can keep it in rotation.  Leave a comment--especially an encouraging one--so I know I'm on the right path.  And, most importantly, follow this page so you can catch every new track dropped here--as a brand new, never-before-heard, Interbay track is posted here EVERY SINGLE DAY (so far!)  

(And listen to "Listen (Aylala)" too!  Please!  Thank you!)

Sound formations // 6.6.25

While Brendan takes a well-earned break, Steve Talbot steps in for this week’s Mod N Soul show – and what a show it is.

The first half is a deep dive into the incredible legacy of Stax Records, the Memphis label that defined Southern soul. Expect classics from Otis Redding, Booker T. & the MG’s, Carla Thomas, and Sam & Dave, plus some lesser-known gems that capture the raw, heartfelt sound that made Stax such a force in 60s soul music.

Following the sad news of Sly Stone’s passing, we pay tribute to his groundbreaking fusion of soul, funk, and psychedelia. 

Of course, it wouldn’t be Mod N Soul without some floor-fillers and sweet soul classics sprinkled throughout – a show full of heart, rhythm and  deep soul.

Tune into new broadcasts of ModnSoul, LIVE, Opposite Tuesdays. 4 - 6 PM EST / 9- 11 PM GMT.

ModnSoul - Steve Talbot* — 17 June 2025

This was originally written and recorded on 4-track cassette around 1990.

Without You

[Verse 1]
I stare at the ceiling
But then I look away
To talk to the walls
Although they don't have much to say

[Verse 2]
I tell them my secrets
But they don't understand
And they have me surrounded
I've taken all I can!

[Chorus]
Without you
It's not the same 
Without you
My ragged face turns blue
From holding in this pain

[Verse 3]
Girl, I must see you
I cannot sleep at night
Your pillow whispers things to me
Like, "Baby, hold me tight!"

[Chorus]
Without you
It's not the same 
Without you
My ragged face turns blue
From holding in this pain

[Instrumental]

[Verse 4]
I was such a dancer
I danced into these flames
I called, but no one answered
I cried, but no one came!

[Chorus]
Without you
It's not the same 
Without you
My ragged face turns blue
From holding in this pain

[Chorus]
Without you
It's not the same 
Without you
My ragged face turns blue
From holding in this pain

[Instrumental]


Without You

PROUD TO SAY IM OFFICIALLY SOBER WASNT EASY BUT MAKING MUSIC HELPED AND I HOPE IT WILL HELP ANY OF YALL 2 LUV-SZTAX

In this Grownlearn episode, Sal Rehmetullah (co-founder of Stax Payments and now Worth) breaks down how he and his sister Suneera scaled Stax to 500 employees and $200M ARR, sold it for $1B, and then turned their attention to the broken world of small-business credit.

We dig into Worth’s AI-powered underwriting plus onboarding stack, why they don’t touch fund flows, and how they’re partnering across global data sources so banks and lenders can understand real-time business risk—think “Credit Karma for business,” but built for enterprise adoption first. Sal also gets candid about purpose post-exit, minority-led entrepreneurship, the $25M seed led by TTV Capital, and what SMB owners can do today to become more lendable.

About the guest:
Sal Rehmetullah is the co-founder of Stax Payments (one of the first minority-led fintech unicorns) and co-founder of Worth, which is rebuilding the financial infrastructure for SMBs with real-time compliance, onboarding, and underwriting.

My Graduation Vinyl set and an introduction to my passion for music

AJ's 1st Vinyl

Step into the midnight soul of Memphis.
“Down on Beale Tonight” is a modern blues–jazz fusion record that blends smoky sax lines, neon-soaked Beale Street energy, and raw Southern storytelling. This track carries the heartbeat of the Mississippi River — warm, gritty, emotional — with jazz phrasing, blues guitar bends, organ soul, and a horn section that lifts the whole street into the air.

A tribute to the legends of Beale Street and the timeless Memphis sound, reimagined through a modern lens.

Produced, arranged, and performed with the signature intensity and emotional depth of Madman Music.

🔥 Feel the heat. Hear the soul. Live the night.

Down on Beale Tonight

Real Music. Real Emotion. Straight from NYC.

I’m Michael Woltmann — producer, songwriter, and the mind behind the MUTEFUSE philosophy. I defined the luxury-rap sound of the late ’90s and early 2000s, and there are maybe a couple 100 people on the planet who can do what I do.

150+ original tracks. Every genre. Every emotion.
Global team of artists. Two degrees. A lifetime of experience.  This is my back catalog of 25 years. 

I don’t chase trends. I chase the feeling.

Press play. Feel something real.
