Music is the language of emotion. Many artists struggle to communicate, connect and find their style. But then there are artists who submerge themselves in their musical expression because it is the only way to make their voices heard.
Lawd P is such an artist. With his latest mixtape OhhhLawd (a follow up to 2012’s Black Friday), Lawd P gives listeners and critics a lyrical sample of what his authenticity can bring to an industry in need of more fearless originality. The pre-gentrified, tough streets of Brooklyn molded Lawd P into a prolific and socially aware rapper, songwriter and  composer. Drawing on influences from New York’s finest (Nas, Jay Z and Biggie) to the classic Soul artists they’ve sampled (Ron Ayers, Curtis Mayfield and Al Green), Lawd P taps into the elements of these music legends to create his own unique sound.
“As an artist I always feel that I should paint the perfect picture that people of various backgrounds can connect with through my music,” explains Lawd P. Being the youngest of six, he lives for the words of Malcolm X, “Early in life I had learned that if you want something, you had better make some noise.”

I may not be perfect but parts of me are pretty awesome :D:)  http://733s.com/zhoumo151645

The story of King Street Sounds starts at the Paradise Garage in New York City, the iconic nightclub that birthed the soulful house music movement. Once home to the late DJ Larry Levan, the Paradise Garage has had a major influence on the career choice and artistic style of house royalty such as David Morales, Louie Vega and Junior Vasquez, and was a keystone for the region's LGBT culture, particularly for Black and Latin American men. This spirit, along with the iconic music the Garage cultivated, inspired the foundation of King Street Sounds in 1993. 

Japanese founder Hisa Ishioka continues to spearhead the label’s output, maintaining King Street Sounds’ position at the forefront of dance culture. Predominantly focusing on its roots in house music whilst also pushing the sonic boundaries of the label to include Afro, Latin, jazz and tech-infused records, King Street Sounds has a global repertoire with a worldwide following. Household names such as Blaze, Barbara Tucker and Ultra Naté released exceedingly successful records such as ‘Most Precious Love’ and ‘Party Girl’ on the label, while house legends Kerri Chandler and Dennis Ferrer signed their seminal albums ‘Trionisphere’ and ‘The World As I See It’ to King Street Sounds. 

Fast forward to today, King Street Sounds continues to honor the legacy of the past thirty years, weaving its music into the modern ecosystem to educate and entertain new ears and existing fans. Through the continued work of label founder Hisa and a dedicated team of dance music experts, a new wave of talent pumps the beating heart of this legendary label.

Hey, I make all my beats, write all my lyrics, and do all my recording, mixing, and mastering. If you're looking for original, you found it.

Peace. My name is Terrence Lathan and posted here are my own specially curated mixes along with reposts created by others. Hope you enjoy!

A place to share what is in my heart and mind. A place to get some feedback. A place to sell tunes. A place to listen to errs and well-dones.

Kervyn Mark offers something no other DJ quite delivers - a fusion of spiritual intent, cultural guardianship, and dancefloor pecision that's singular in today's scene. 

Here's what only he brings to the table:

1) Ritualist's Approach to House Music - Kervyn doesn't just play tracks - he conducts rituals. His sets are built like sacred journeys, where every transition is designed to cleanse, uplift, and transform. No one else crafts energy shifts the way he does-it's not about peaks and drops, but about healing and elevation. That's not performance...that's cermony.

2) Scholar-DJ Hybrid - While some DJs are historians and others are selectors, Kervyn bridges both. He's a walking archive of Afro-diasporic music history, able to link Yoruba rhythms, spitual jazz, early house, broken beat, and deep soul with scholarly insight. But he doesn't lecture-he lets the music teach. No one else connects dots across Black musical lineages in such a subtle but profound way.

3) Deep NYC Underground Fluency + Global Sonic Vision - Many DJs are either local heroes or global spinners-Kervyn is both. He's deeply rooted in New York's loft, Shelter and dance community tradition, but his sound travels through Lagos, Bahia, Detroit, Cape Town, and London-all without losing coherence. It's a rare global-local fusion that feels lived-in, not curated.

4) He doesn't just play for a community-he serves it. Though events like The Meltin Pot, collaborations with dancers, and mentorship of younger DJs, Kervyn protects and nutures spaces that are too often erased by gentrification and commodification. He is not a "headliner"-he's a guardian.

5) Resistence Through Groove

Only Kervyn can play a deep house set that simultaneously:
- honors the ancestors
- affirms Black queerness
- critiques gentrification
- and makes you sweat for hours

He doesn't just move the body-he moves the consciousness.

In a world full of DJs chasing charts, gigs, and algorithms, Kervyn Mark offers music as ancestral memory, resistance art, and spiritual technology.

The are great DJs. There are smart DJs.

BUT there is only one Kervyn Mark.
