civil music

three amazing tunes from civil music (site/ blog) out of london and one, the original of a tune covered here.  civil music is , with all things considered, a label with an amazing roster of artists producing some of the finest tunes around right now with one of them 'drums of death' tipped to be a name to watch out for in '09.
first up though is another one to lend an ear to. heard it today on a nice little mix by LeFtO, over on the brownswood blog. kotchy, with labelmate, rusko's (skwee) remix of 'sing what you want'.
just lovely stuff all round.

next up is javelin, with 'flutey flakes', a slo-disco boogie of the finest order with just a hint of some latin feel.

next up is 'drums of death' with the too massive refix of escort's 'starlight' see below). a wondrous track that seems to span a range of genres building to a knock out tune.

wake up

to follow up the dam funk post we've got some more LA boogie future funk.
Aqeel "is the name of the vocalist, composer and songwriter from Los Angeles, California. Lover of music since the days of singing in church as a youth with his mother before dedicating his time professionally as a musician AQEEL spent ten years as a barber. In 1998 he worked with Erykah Badu on a demo, she produced and he wrote the lyrics, but the project didn’t see light because AQEEL wasn’t as prepared as he thought he was. This made him more determined in taking his craft seriously. Shortly after he had another opportunity, he worked three days along side Dr.Dre on ‘The Chronic 2001’ project offering backing vocals and lyrics."

From there he headed off to Spain and continued to hone his skills, working with many producers and touring around Europe.
An interesting story that should be heard.
Out on the great 4Lux label and ft. shafiq husayn of sa ra with the remix by syrafin also well worth checking out.

joyeux noël

every song i've posted here has some special meaning. some just more so than others.
i've never written a song and don't know if i ever will. even if i did i don't think i'd find the words to be able to describe the way i feel. its nice to be able to leave it up to others though and sometimes, not often, but sometimes, someone comes along and does it nicely for you...

thanks to chris flew for sharing this.
its something else.
