If I Could See You Now

My Life Be Like (Ooh Ahh) (Liquid Beats Remix) -GRITS Feat. TobyMac

in losing time
the line you finished
tickles down my spine
I witness
all of the stars fall into orbit
or do they move when simon says so
please would you leave the fucking light on
please would you leave if simon says so
tangled in blue
cerulean hue


cerulean

I wake with focus
I create with love
I work the locus
I feel enough

My rhythm, my peace, I love
My rhythm, my peace, I love

My energy
In tune
My energy
I assume

Brings me peace
Brings me voice
Rest my head
Feel the joy

Brings me peace
Brings me voice
Rest my head
Feel the joy

My rhythm, my peace, I love
My rhythm, my peace, I love

Help others
Who need love
Help others
Rise above

My rhythm, my peace, I love
My rhythm, my peace, I love

Give them hope
Increase their dreams
Be the one
For others to see

Give them hope
Increase their dreams
Be the one
For others to see

Help others
Who need love
Help others
Rise above

My rhythm, my peace, I love
My rhythm, my peace, I love
My rhythm, my peace, I love

Brings me peace
Brings me voice
Rest my head
Feel the joy

Help others
Who need love
Help help others
Rise

My Rhythm, My Peace, I Love

Let’s take this thing it higher. 

Anyone familiar with the Pimps of Joytime live experience knows the feeling—it’s that moment when a deep bluesy groove morphs into a full-on EDM explosion, or the sensation when the wide-eyed audience collectively elevates in sync with the band’s irresistible energy.

On Jukestone Paradise, the Pimps of Joytime raise the bar with swagger to spare, crafting ten cohesive songs that ring out like the soundtrack for a ride through the diverse Brooklyn neighborhood where their sound materialized.  Pulling from lead guitarist and singer Brian J’s deep discography of influences, the creation of Jukestone Paradise began a decade ago, when he penned anthems like “Sky” and “Freedom Dancer,” all the way up to the album’s studio recording sessions.

You might accurately call the Pimps of Joytime a ‘post-genre’ band; they’re a group whose sound—even within a single song—mirrors the diversity of our era’s musical tastes. “It’s a sonic tapestry that’s representative of this time and place that we live in,” says Brian J. 

That’s where the Pimps excel, by mashing up ‘70s funk tones with modern dance beats, mixed with original samples creating their mosaic sound. For listeners weary of today’s DJ culture but eager to dance with abandon, the Pimps of Joytime are the antidote. 

“At our core, the Pimps of Joytime are not just dance music,” says Brian J of the band’s three-part harmony attack. “My first vocal mentor was a doo-wop singer, so I have a long-time love affair with vocal harmonies.”

With the release of Jukestone Paradise, the band makes official their solid touring lineup, featuring dual female vocalists and percussionists Mayteana Morales and Cole WilliamsX. And they’re hitting the road hard, continuing a constant touring schedule that’s already left prominent sets at festivals like Voodoo, Outside Lands, Bonnaroo and High Sierra in their wake.

Behind the frontlines are bassist/keyboardist David Bailis and drummer John Staten, forming the rhythmic backbone of the Pimps’ audible collage. And for Jukestone Paradise, they called in a few friends to lend their talents, including Ivan Neville, who lends New Orleans flavor to “Sky,” and Rubblebucket’s Alex Toth, who co-wrote the quirky and infectious “Dance Cardia.” 

Just as Brooklyn has changed since the Pimps started, so has the band’s sound. But as Williamsburg gentrifies, the Pimps of Joytime’s diverse evolution keeps the neighborhood’s spirit alive. That spirit goes into the Pimps’ pot, over a soulful roux of rhythm and groove.
