The Foreign Exchange - Asking For A Friend (Stro Elliot's Roller Rink Rework)

The OFFICIAL remix that I was so honored and blessed to have done, as requested directly from Phonte of The Foreign Exchange, along with Nicolay's exclamation point as they both approved and placed me as Track #6/Disc 1 of their "Reworks" album (right before ?uestlove & James Poyser's track)! Was even more of a compliment considering that instead of sending me all the instrumental stems, they only sent me the acapella vocal tracks, meaning he was trusting me to come up with the music all on my own :) I did my best not to disappoint and was glad they loved it (let alone the fact I was essentially also collab'ing with 2/3 of the amazing KING, via Paris and Amber Strother's vocals).

This was released 4 days after my bday in 2013, so this was a late gift as it were ;)

It's been about 2 years now that we've been playing this track from the modest and ridiculously talented LP aka Lisa Preston who hails from Wellington, New Zealand. Lisa is known for her singing but stepped away and layered Marvin's vocals with some beautiful percussion, drums, and keys. It wasn't until Soulection Radio Show #115 that we were reminded of how amazing and timeless this Marvin Gaye edit truly is. We then realized that it was never released and decided that we needed to change that. Here we are! Another quality & free gem for you here in 2013. This is yet another reason why we are here to take over. The world needs more quality vibes. Spread this if you feel it. 

"This track is about 7 years old now !  ha ha .... the stems to Marvin Gaye's "What going on" were floating around the internet and everyone in Wellington with an MPC seemed to be making re-edits of the tune. I was pretty novice on the MPC , still am (!) but thought it might be nice to blend some of the percussion from that tune with an acapella I had of 'Sexual Healing'. I had some nice rhodes samples that I'd cut up in my MPC so just kinda fooled around with it and got a nice lil groove going on and here we are years down the line =)"

JDilla "Players" (DJA1 House Breaks)

MIMS is excited to premiere this absolutely luscious soul jam from the Solqlap Budapest collective in collaboration with singer/producer Emmavie. Perfect vibes for this early Autumn.

Seven piece live band/producer/DJ collective, Solqlap Budapest, teams up with one of London’s most exciting rising vocalists and producers, Emmavie, to deliver their brand new single, “Fairy Tale”. This fresh and soulful number is reminiscent of the golden era of neo soul but tinged with the contemporary stylings of future R&B. 

“Fairy Tale” kicks in with no hesitation. Starting with a boom bap groove reminding us of the best of 90’s hip hop, Emmavie soon follows with her beautiful vocals taking us to a magical musical journey. Recorded in one live take and mixed by multi Latin Grammy winner Balazs Robert ‘Gizmoo’ and mastered by multi Grammy and platinum award winner Darcy Proper, Fairy Tale is the first single off a three song EP recorded in Amsterdam’s Wisseloord House Of Music and soon to be released on vinyl via Noord Records.

Solqlap Budapest is a seven piece instrumental hip hop ensemble combining musicians, DJ's and producers from the heart of Hungary. Founded in Budapest in 2010, the group quickly became a significant input of the buzzing local scene. This is thanks to an ongoing series of live performances, organizing events and frequent collaborations with local and international MC's and singers (i.e. Corey James Gray fka iLLspokinn, Emmavie, Sarah-Jane, Wayne Snow, Call Me Unique, Sena, Saiid and more).

Emmavie is a singer/songwriter and producer. She specialises in what she describes as "limitless soulful future R&B". Her music is an amalgamation of 90s R&B and her love for digital audio experimentation.

Exclusive Premiere: Solqlap Budapest X Emmavie "Fairy Tale" (Forthcoming on Noord Records)

Make beats with a message and sample using the fair use act of 1976. Boom Bap Hip Hop is what I vibe to...but I bring all elements of music to the mix. A man of YHWH, God the Father and I give Him the praise and credit for these ideas. Thanks for listening. Peace be with and unto you. Luke 17:21.

Representative of how the Internet can aid in creating music, the Foreign Exchange started when Little Brother rapper Phonte heard a beat on Okayplayer.com by Dutch producer Nicolay and asked if he could lay some vocals over it. Nicolay agreed, and the song "Light It Up" appeared shortly after as the B-side to Little Brother's 2002 single "Whatever You Say." Relying mainly on instant messaging and email, the duo continued to work together, with Nicolay sending beats to Phonte, who would add vocals and send them back until they had enough tracks together to form an album. Not once during the entire process of making their debut, Connected, which came out in 2004, did the members of the Foreign Exchange speak over the phone or in person. Due in part to an increasing production load, Nicolay moved to the States, and Leave It All Behind, the second FE album -- more R&B-oriented than the debut -- was recorded. Released in 2008 and featuring a handful of stunning videos, its lead single, "Daykeeper," was nominated for a 2010 Grammy in the category of Best Urban/Alternative Performance (and lost to India.Arie's "Pearls"). After assisting two of their associates, YahZarah (The Ballad of Purple St. James) and Zo! (SunStorm), with albums, the Foreign Exchange released Authenticity. All three albums were issued in 2010 through The Foreign Exchange Music. A DVD/CD set, Dear Friends: An Evening with the Foreign Exchange (2011) and a two-disc set of remixes and new songs titled The Reworks (2013) preceded the group's fourth studio album, Love in Flying Colors.
