C Majah - Mixing Roots 1

Sun, 05 May 2013 11:16:22 -0700

C Majah’s mixes are always fun, unique and all worthy of the sunshine we are getting right now. Check out Mixing Roots 1, Reggae and hip hop tunes that will surely bring a smile to your face. I was wandering around in the sun yesterday and seriously could not stop smiling. A great DJ like C Majah knows how to pick the tunes that will make people get that happy feeling you only get when you hear them.

Be sure to visit his website as the first track had to be removed at soundcloud’s request!

This is the perfect soundtrack to this amazing weather we are having (unless of of course the weather sucks wherever you are. Sucks to be you, sucka!)

New track by Cedric Gervais and Howard Jones!! A fun progressive track! The more tranced out style is normally not my thing but I have found myself rocking out to this for the last couple days. It really makes me want to rave it up. Catchy vocal hooks and dance style melodies! Such a fun tune.

I think I forgot to share this which is very silly of me since I love Buddygirrl and CoMa. Both these ladies have amazing gifts. The toybox sounds in this track give it a unique element you don’t hear in others.

SONNY FODERA - DTP298

Tue, 02 Apr 2013 19:23:51 -0700

Sonny Fodera sure knows how to pick the house music. This mix is filled , classic house sounds, sweet vocals and downright grooving sounds. Sonny mixes these classic sounds with unique tracks to keep your ears excited. It makes me realise what i miss about dancing around to house music.

If you live in the Victoria, BC area then you can see him at Hush Night Club on April 5th!

I am working on a little review and an interview to be posted very soon. I don’t really ever post mainstream music but I really can’t help but love this new tune by Justin Timberlake. It is a pretty fresh take on r and b /pop music. This is what this style would have sounded like if it were done in the 50s.

Skulastic's Self Titled Album

Tue, 12 Feb 2013 22:01:00 -0800

Skulastic’s debut Self Titled album is exactly how I love my hip hop: funky and fresh. Fully self produced and filled with passionate lyrics. This female emcee busts out some epic rhymes and catchy beats. This sassy album has been on repeat since I first heard it. My favourite track is the funked out, jazzy “Move Slow”

Listen to Move Slow by Skulastic.

Not very often I hear a track I can relate to these days. Baby C’s new track “One Drop(Produced by Shugarboy) really hit home for me. My mom didn’t suddenly get sick but I do know what it is like to watch a sick parent.

My mom passed away because of MS when I was 11 and one of the hardest things I ever went through was watching how sick she got. This track says a lot about how I felt about my situation.

I’ve already listened to this a few times and stoked for the release!
