I'm totally BLOWN AWAY by the quality of this Gospel album. For me it's THE gospel CD of the year. Tracks like "My God", "Heaven", "I'm free", "He did it all for you" and others are simply stunning. Sublime vocals, sme jazz overtones on sme tracks & a feelgood spirit through the whole CD make it an essential purchase. Highly recommended !

"music is what feelings sound like" kemishan.

Kemishan has always loved music straight from his humble beginning of life, Real names " Nyero Mark",  born 06th October in kampala, Uganda. Though the whole world is Home, Kemishan's inspiration comes from higher grounds. In 2005, he found dancehall, Soca and reggea very motivating for his career as a Musician and Music Artist, this music is kick up the bass, trebble, drum and make people dance so his music is talking on behalf of all dancehall and reggea. He developed his skills by hanging at studios, making dubs,deejaying, mixtapes, acouple of singles, performing at events, parties, shows and concerts, Also adopting patois and listening to alot of music, Jamaican dancehall, Caribbean soca  and reggea music to be specific. Eversince he picked up the mic, kemishan has never turned back. 
      In febuary 2010, Kemishan got his first record deal in his career with "Osmond records", Later "Urban Aksent Records" then " Buddies Music" and now Currently C.E.O of his own label "DANCEHALL CONNECT UG", Kemishan is flawless.
      Alongside other associated acts, kemishan had been dropping hot tracks but After He started his own Label early 2016, he dropped his biggest hit song " Big bumpa" featuring "Mun G" and later "Up in the Air" featuring "Cindy, DjRoja & DjSlickstuart" continued the flow of end less Hit Songs. This has given Kemishan an established solid base as an artist, musician, song writer, deejay, Producer, Mentor and music composer.
        "Looking up to his fans, friends, associates, business partners, producers and Artists he has worked with and those his yet to work with, He feels that its the talent and energy all over the world that keeps him inspired. NOT FORGETTING THE MOST HIGH JAH WHO PAVES FOR HIM THE WAY IN HIS LIFE and his family with faith, he will keep on moving [MOVIN FYAH].

Disco house music, filter music, latin house musik, french house, and all the similars of it :D , i like it funky and smooth

As Disko starz said to me: "Make a change in your life! stress free .. all you need is disko!"
with the good time I pretend to do good music like all the artist that love Disko house :D

House music is uptempo music for dancing, although by modern dance-music standards it is mid-tempo, generally ranging between 118 and 135 bpm. Tempos tended to be slower in the early years of house.
The common element of house is a prominent kick drum on every beat (also known as a four-on-the-floor beat), usually generated by a drum machine or sampler. The kick drum sound is augmented by various kick fills and extended dropouts. The drum track is filled out with hi-hat cymbal-patterns that nearly always include a hi-hat on quaver off-beats between each kick, and a snare drum or clap sound on beats two and four of every bar. This pattern derives from the so-called "four-on-the-floor" dance drumbeats of the 1960s which impacted on 1980s house music via the 1970s disco drummers.
 
Disco House is a sub-genre of electronic dance music. It is classified as the combination of modern house music with elements of classic disco, whether through samples or thematic similarities. It uses technology (such as samplers and synthesizers) to convert the simple dance music bass lines and rhythmic pulsations constant four-four beats. This dance genre characterized by a slow and low prevalence of his compositions. Sometimes incorporates voices and / or sung melodies. Built on pre-recorded sounds, distorted and altered electronically, house music gathered the elements of disco dancing. As with the techno-pop music quickly created around various subgenres. The New York local Garage reintroduced soul vocal melodies and some piano styles protruding roots in disco house. It uses synthesized sounds and modifies the human voice to give more interest. and with its distinctive bass sound With a steadfast dedication to provide listeners with the absolute highest quality music and an emphasis on introducing lesser-known talents. with its distinctive bass sound.

As they enter their 17th year as a band, Switchfoot has achieved a level of success that brothers Jon and Tim Foreman and their high-school friend Chad Butler never anticipated when forming the band in San Diego in 1996. The SoCal natives have sold 5.5 million copies worldwide of their eight studio albums (including their 2003 double-platinum breakthrough The Beautiful Letdown and 2009’s Grammy Award-winning Hello Hurricane), racked up a string of Alternative radio hit singles (“Meant to Live,” “Dare You To Move,” “Mess of Me,” “The Sound (John M. Perkins’ Blues),” “Dark Horses,” and “Afterlife”), performed sold-out world tours (visiting five continents in the past year alone), raised hundreds of thousands of dollars to aid homeless kids in their community through their own Bro-Am Foundation, and earned themselves a global fan base devoted to Switchfoot’s emotionally intelligent and uplifting brand of alternative rock.

So when it came time to write the songs that would make up their ninth studio album, the members of Switchfoot were looking for a challenge. “The point became, ‘What are we going to do to push ourselves,’” Jon recalls. “Could we take ourselves somewhere we’d never been before, yet achieve a feeling of comfort at the same time? How do we go to a new place that feels like home?” 

Switchfoot found the answers on the road and in the waves. A year ago, while touring in support of their 2011 album Vice Verses, the long-time surfers set out in search of inspiration by visiting several of their favorite surf breaks around the world. “The idea was to surf, write songs, play music, and see what ideas came,” says Tim. The band traveled to Jeffreys Bay and Crayfish Factory in South Africa, Bronte Beach in Australia, Raglan in New Zealand, and Uluwatu in Bali, and chronicled their physical and emotional journey, as well as their unshakeable brotherly bond, in Fading West — a documentary film that features stunning locales, revealing interviews, jubilant live footage, and glimpses of Switchfoot at home and in their studio in San Diego. Like Rattle and Hum meets Endless Summer, the movie is part travelogue, part surf film, and part behind-the-scenes look at the making of the band’s upcoming new album, which will also be entitled Fading West. 

Not surprisingly, the album, which finds Switchfoot returning to the melodic pop sensibility of their early years, was inspired by the sea, which Jon describes as a perfect metaphor for simultaneously experiencing comfort and danger. “You’re comfortable out there, but it’s the unknown,” he says. “You can paddle out in South Africa and it’s exactly like home and nothing like home all at once. That’s what I’m hoping our record feels like — trying to find peace in dangerous places.” 

There’s a memorable scene in Fading West where the band members are paddling out at Uluwatu with their friend, surf champ Rob Machado. Jon says he had a major epiphany that day. “As I sat on my board in the Indian Ocean, I realized that these waves could eventually make it back to my home of San Diego thousands of miles away,” he says. “That rhythm and pulse was really grounding and inspiring on so many levels. It made me grasp the dichotomy between the pull of the road and the pull toward getting back home. It’s like we had to leave home to find home. For a long time, home was a place of failure because it meant that we didn’t have any shows,” Jon adds. “When you drop out of college in your early ’20s and all your friends are getting jobs and you’re the guy who lives with his parents, it’s way better to be on the road. Only recently did I feel like home was a place where I could feel comfortable and content.”

Switchfoot traces its roots to the beaches of San Diego when the Foremans and Butler connected as surfers (Jerome Fontamillas joined in September 2000 and Drew Shirley in 2005). Though they competed in national surf championships on weekends, their real bond came from a common love of music. They decided to form a band, chose the name Switchfoot (a surfing term), put themselves through months of sweaty rehearsals in their garage, and then hit the road. After just 20 gigs, Switchfoot signed with re:Think Records and released three albums, The Legend of Chin (1997), New Way To Be Human (1999), and the gold-certified Learning to Breathe (2000), before signing with Columbia Records, which released their fourth album, The Beautiful Letdown, on its Red/Ink subsidiary, upping the band to Columbia proper after the album sold more than a million copies. (It eventually sold 2.6 million.) The band released two more albums with Sony, 2005’s Nothing Is Sound, which debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard album chart, and 2006’s Oh! Gravity., which climbed to No. 1 on the iTunes Album chart, before going their separate ways with the company.  

Itching for creative freedom, Switchfoot financed the building of its own studio where they recorded their seventh album, the hard-hitting Hello Hurricane, and its groove-oriented follow-up Vice Verses, both of which they released on their own lowercase people records via Atlantic Records. (Jon also released four solo EPs and a debut album with Fiction Family, his side project with Nickel Creek’s Sean Watkins.) 

Along the way, Switchfoot have been steadfast in their commitment to giving back by supporting various humanitarian causes, such as DATA, the ONE Campaign, Habitat for Humanity, Invisible Children, and To Write Love on Her Arms. In 2005, the band held its first annual Bro-Am, a day-long event that includes a surf contest, live concert on the beach, charity auction, and after-party at local tavern Belly Up. Now in its ninth year, the Bro-Am has raised more than $715,000 to benefit local children's charities that aid at-risk, homeless, and street kids in San Diego. “We’ve got a really young fan base and some of the kids who come to our shows are homeless,” Tim says. “You’d never know it, but they are. I think we’ve always been drawn to the underdog, and I can’t think of a bigger underdog than a kid who’s fighting for his life at the age of 12.”

Switchfoot is currently gearing up for the August premiere of Fading West at the Summer X-Games. (The band have been very active in the action sports world, having performed at numerous NFL and MLB post-game events, as well as at the US Open of Surfing in 2011.) The album Fading West will be released in September. “We weren’t chasing anything in particular when we started the band,” Jon says in the film. “We simply had these songs that we loved playing. It’s that joy that fueled us and it’s that joy that has kept us going and brought us to here.”

Love’s in Need of Love Today
Elizabeth Tomboulian tends to her heart’s deep desire, singing of the power love has to heal, to hurt, to supersede. When the Orlando shootings happened, Stevie Wonder’s song, “Love’s in Need of Love Today” came to mind. She now had her concept for the CD featuring songs of love: broken, in need of repair, ambivalent, naughty, bluesy, and high flying.

“Exactly Like You” has the distinctive rhythmic spice of New Orleans. After she developed the harmony on “Time After Time,” Bill Evans’ “Re: Person I Knew” worked well as an interlude with Ingrid Jensen’s signature trumpet. “Nutty-If I Love Again” smash-up hearkens to Jackie and Roy with the couple singing and swinging together. McCoy Tyner’s “For Tomorrow” tells of the ambivalence of loving, with lyrics Elizabeth wrote when she and Lee were dating. Elizabeth shines on “The Ballad of the Snow Leopard and the Tanqueray Cowboy,” the rangey piano/vocal epic wailing about our hunger for inspiration and everything else money just won’t buy. Her heart for Bossa Nova beats strong on “Tristeza de Amar,” with tasteful weaving of scat and Jensen’s flugel. Elizabeth’s years of singing the blues with a guitar hold fast on “Good Old Wagon” with her voice dipping to the depths and soaring to the heights with ease. The intimacy of her accompaniment with the voice on “I Get Along Without You Very Well” whispers the bravado of lost love. “Love’s in Need of Love Today” takes us to church and the power of community to come together and stop the hate before it’s gone too far, augmented by the Tomboulians’ and Vitro’s gospel choir. “Cheesy,” Elizabeth’s gently swinging composition of longing for love while being choosey, is her tribute to her mother, who always hoped she would record it. Current events are reminiscent of the resistance movements of the 1960s with human rights being eroded by the machinations of the legislature. Mass shootings are becoming commonplace. This inspired her riff on “For What It’s Worth” and her lyric to “Mercy, Mercy, Mercy,” affirming that “we can make a way for every soul to live in peace. There is no fear in this whole sphere that love cannot defeat, for what it’s worth.”
