Introducing Flow-Fi TapeTracks. As of today we'll be releasing a two-side EP every fortnight celebrating artists who we believe need your attention. This means you'll be getting a single on both Saturday and Sunday, and you'll be able to download the EP for free on Sunday. We've got some exciting talent lined up for the series, but let's introduce our first artist to feature on TapeTracks. 

Alexander Lewis is a musician/producer based in New York in the U.S. His music is a fusion of different styles including a strong jazz influence (his musical background)and future hip hop and bass music. We've been keeping a close eye on his progress over the last few months and now we're excited to bring you 'Seasons'. The first TapeTrack in our fortnightly series. 

"I was hanging out with two of my best friends (one was the trumpet player on this track) and we were talking about how fortunate we were that music is such a central part of our lives and we get to hang and make music together. Music surrounds us in different ways, and it's a blessing to be able to do what we love to do on a daily basis. Life is Sweet- is just that. It's about celebrating friends and living life." - Alexander Lewis

Produced by: @alexanderjlewis

In Another Life, will be available June 30th, 2015 on Purpose Music Group/eOne Music. These releases represent the next chapter in the strong narrative Bilal began with his earlier works and showcases Bilal’s unique ability to reinterpret jazz, soul, and funk for a contemporary audience.
“I always try to paint pictures with my music...I like telling stories, stories you can see,” said Bilal. “With this album, I take a step back. I am moving away from the surrealism in my last album to explore the reality of the time.”

(from RBM presents Anthony Valadez | 7" Series) 

Physical release available at: http://www.recordbreakin.com/rbm024.html

Over the past 5 years we have continued to present exceptional music to a culture that embraces it. There 's much more to come. Thanks for your continued support and keep listening.

This 5 Year Compilation is a collection of gems from the Record Breakin' Music (RBM) label. Ov er the last 5 years, RBM has always represented a wide range of underground music. Although our releases have all been quite different, the constant theme is a soulful vibe. Music is always a moving target, constantly changing and evolving. We've been fortunate enough to work with a wide range of artist, many of whom are supporters of pushing musical boundaries in new directions.

For this 5 Year Anniversary compilation, I had selected some of my favorite tracks over the years. It was a difficult task. However, I believe these tracks are a great introduction to the label, as well as a strong retrospective of what we've worked on. So enjoy!

Special thanks to all the artist, musicians and friends involved in the making of this album. Much appreciation to all the DJs, venues, music lovers, press, and radio that have supported us over the years.

Zo! - Count To Five feat. Gwen Bunn

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.
