April Hill – Today [Bombay] {promo}

release date: Mar/04/2011


A cool soulful affair from April Hill’s debut album, Love 360

Written by April Hill and Marlon Saunders.
Produced by Shawn Lucas and April Hill.
Instruments and Programming by Shawn Lucas Backing
Vocals April Hill and Marlon Saunders.
Soultempo Remixes by Jayceeindamix (Tarantismo Ent.)and Jere McAllister (J.A.M. Trax).
2Moro Mix by Owen Taylor & Matt Mckillop forDeepCitySoul Productions.
Publishing Jazzy Peach Music (ASCAP) /Jazz for the Soul of It (Sesac) / Bombay Records 2011 (SOCAN)
Executive Producers: Awaaz © Bombay Records 2011 All Rights Reserved.

Atlanta, Georgia-born singer/songwriter April Hill is a fresh talent on the east coast soul scene with songs that resonate with authenticity and power. Today is the result of a collaboration with her writing/producing partner Marlon Saunders. They deliver the goods with Today, one of the standouts from Hill’s debut album, Love 360. Hill’s unique vocal styling reigns supreme here in this cool soulful affair on love gone wrong.

Chicago’s J & J Soultempo, JayceeIndaMix and Jere McAllister, deliver a smooth groove affair with their Soultempo mix. Perfectly balanced Afro drums and warm chord arrangements define the laidback feel of the composition. The free flow energy lives on in their Late Night Dub cut with a more resounding vibe on the b-line.
DJ/Producer Jayceeindamix and the J & J Soultempo collaboration have been major contributors to the thriving Chicago house scene for the last decade. Recent releases include last year’s acclaimed remixes of gospel legend Terry Moore’s “In Ur Presence” and “Some Kinda Good” on Bombay. Jaycee’s work has appeared on labels such as RCA, Sony, Neat Music (UK), Bombay Records, Cafe Del Mar, Hed Kandi, Stereo Sushi, and his own Soultempo Records.

The 2moro mix by masterful UK house duo DeepCitySoul is a higher energy dance cut with a brilliant shakedown that stretches the rhythmic vibe into a warm floor-sizzler with harmonious synth chords, guitar and sax licks. Birmingham-based Matt McKillop and Owen Taylor aka DeepCitySoul have received fast rising fame on the international house circuit for their distinctive productions and eclectic DJ sets. Their trademark sound is flavoured with solid house and funk rhythms, and aspects of soul and jazz. Their recent releases “Earthly Angel” on their own DeeCeeEss label and mix of Universe Project’s “Where You Wanna Be” are on their way to becoming dance floor essentials, and the 2moro remix gets the full treatment from these soulful house dons.

SHE004 SONNY FODERA FT. BRU FAVE & RON E – LOSE MYSELF

Another blazing hot Sydney summer is upon us, and the hottest house crew down under are proud to announce the latest release, SHE004 on SHE Recordings! SHE003 became the most successful SHE release to date, Kocho & Chloe West’s “Your Love” spending some well-earned time in the Traxsource top ten.

This occasion sees more home grown talent take the stage for SHE004 with Sonny Fodera’s new deep and soulful cut “Lose Myself”, with Bru Fave and Ron E teaming up to deliver the vocals. This all Australian package sees Dj Jorj and Tikki Tembo step up for the remixing duties.

Sonny drops two versions for the release, with classic and deep mixes that display the house master’s diversity in his production skills. The classic mix grooves: with an unmistakable Fodera bassline, smooth keys and muted trumpet section you can literally feel the sunshine beating down – This is the perfect tune for those long summer afternoon sessions, Sydney style! Sonny then takes us into the night with his deep version featuring infectious synths and those signature Fodera drums.

Tikki Tembo and Dj Jorj complete the package with impressive remixes and dubs; integrating the full vocal amidst lush production, these are truly two fine examples of the SHE sound.

So as the weather heats up, jump aboard and get involved with a release that will be a bona fide soulful summer classic!

Dawn Tallman
THE QUEEN OF GOSPEL ENERGY

Singer, Songwriter

The Queen of Gospel Energy was born and raised in Danbury, Connecticut, Dawn began singing in the house of God from childhood. Later, she expanded her body of work into the R&B and Dance scenes. Dawns voice and style have been compared to those of many great vocalists, like Chaka Khan, Karen Wheeler and Oleta Adams, yet her style is completely & audibly her own. Her ear for harmonies and her perfect sense for the placement of backgrounds & adlibs make her a producers dream and an audiences delight. She is a member of Barbara Tucker’s famed B Crew. Dawns voice has blessed numerous singles as the featured artist and she is on the must call list for many producers when they are looking for someone to arrange and sing backgrounds. In her own right and as a member of various ensemble groups, Dawn has traveled all over the world. Dawn Tallman clearly has a message in her music. Aqua Sol would like to extend many thanks to her dedication and talent in making this project a reality and a blessing.

Stranger Danger – Chuggy Lovebottoms EP (Incl. Lovebirds Mixes) [Blockhead]


Its finally here! The deep house anthem EP for 2011

We here at the Blockhead HQ are extremely excited to bring you the Chuggy Love Bottoms Ep by Stranger Danger featuring Alegra Bandy on vocals. Stranger Danger is a relative newcomer to the production side of the scene but has really outdone himself for this release. His original mix is on the peak time jackin tip with some serious soul in it to help smooth it out. Not to be slept on! Next up we’ve got one of our all time favorites YSE (aka Ant Plate of Rhythm Plate). Ant absolutely kills it with his remix. YSE brings it back to the good ol days of acid house with his remix and somehow makes the vocal fit in so perfectly. The YSE mix gives me goosebumps every time I hear it and is a surefire hit. Last but most certainly not least, we have managed to get Lovebirds to bless the label with an absolute stunner of a remix. Lovebirds have been on quite a tear lately and have been on everything from Bedrock to Defected and everything in between. Think KOT meets Jimpster, go deep, real deep soooo deep. Lovebirds turn in pure musical bliss on this one. Overall this package has something for everyone; from deep and soulful to bumpin, club rockin beats.
