Accolades is here, and they are making moves worthy of their name. They are the newest audio production team to emerge from the musical epicenter of Los Angeles. This soulful duo was formed by Anas Canon, esteemed record producer/sound engineer and founder of the emerging label Decorative Audio along with his writing partner, prominent Los Angeles based multi-instrumentalist/producer, Joel Van Dijk (who also serves as Aloe Blacc’s musical director and guitarist). The two have embarked on the nearly impossible task of re-imagining “The Motown Sound” for our modern age.

The project, Accolades vs. The Funk Brothers emerged from Canon’s genuine love(read obsession) for the genius of early Motown recordings. Canon and Van Dijk are long time fans of The Funk Brothers (the brilliant musicians who played on the original Motown recordings) and the musical bed that they created for the classic vocalists of their time such as Marvin Gaye, The Jackson 5, Stevie Wonder and many more.

The vocal tracks from these Motown recordings were chopped up and laid into a bed of rugged drum programming by Canon, which was then re-harmonized and re-grooved by Van Dijk and guest musicians*-- the effect being a completely new approach to the familiarity of the Motown sound. As the name suggests, Accolades Vs. The Funk Brothers challenges the Motown studio personnel to a musical production duel in our now modern age of recording technology, lending a fresh perspective to the timeless recordings.

Accolades’ musicianship is what sets them apart from those who simply seek to remix the classics. Their use of advanced harmonic concepts, real instruments and sophisticated arranging serve to reimagine Motown in the 21st century. The use of additional sections elongate the original narrative of timeless songs like Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell’s If This World Were Mine, and The Jackson 5’s Mama’s Pearl, taking the listener’s nostalgia and giving it a new home.

To hear this project is to be transported to the place in which your soul feels most comfortable. With harmony that serves as a powerful aphrodisiac, and a new rhythmic pulse that compels you to rise in your living room and hit that signature two-step, Accolades Vs. The Funk Brothers satiates that sultry space in your spirit. That feeling you felt when you first heard Marvin is morphed into a contemporary setting, as if the song was just released today. A fresh perspective is given, an epiphany is received, and what was once old is new again.

If this world were mine - ACCOLADES REDUX - Marvin Gaye

Tragically, Marvin was fatally shot by his father 30 years ago on April 1, 1984. He was 44 years old.

This my tribute to the great musical prophet remixed from the original stems. 

Oh, mercy mercy me
Oh, things ain’t what they used to be
No, no
Where did all the blue sky go?
Poison is the wind that blows
From the north, east, south, and sea
Oh, mercy mercy me
Oh, things ain’t what they used to be
No, no
Oil wasted on the oceans and upon our seas
Fish full of mercury
Oh, mercy mercy me
Oh, things ain’t what they used to be
No, no
Radiation in the ground and in the sky
Animals and birds who live nearby are dying
Oh, mercy mercy me
Oh, things ain’t what they used to be
What about this overcrowded land?
How much more abuse from man can you stand?
My sweet Lord
My sweet Lord
My sweet Lord

Inner City Blues (Marvin Gaye) - Chronic Funk Disorder live

Slängde ihop denna snabbt, men tycker den är värd att dela. Sjunger alla stämmor, men beatboxa kan jag inte. Och kan man inte beatboxa så får man använda ett lamt trumset från Logic. Alltid nåt. Hoppas ni gillar det ändå!
----------------------------------------------------------
Put this together real quick, but I thought it was worth sharing, since I haven't been uploading anything recently. This is me singing all the harmonies. I can't beatbox though, so had to use drum samples from Logic. Better than nothing, I guess. Hope you enjoy anyway!

Marvin Gaye -  Aint That Peculiar  **REMIX**

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 =)"
