Audio: Tokyo Dawn Records presents "The Boogie" // Various Artists

18. Eagle Nebula - What i like:



Complete album preview via Tokyo Dawn Records

Based on groove fundamentals such as 80's and 90's R&B, Minneapolis funk and early electro, this compilation holds 18 modern approaches to what we like to call boogie music.
Combining neon synths and soul chords with a decent portion of future funk, we're invited to ride an exciting new wave of artists combining latest production techniques with classic grooves deeply rooted in 80's boogie wonderland.

Finely collected by TDR conductor Marc Wallowy, this amazing compilation features 74 minutes of dirty g-funk bangers, sweaty robot grooves, cosmic p-funk bombs and anthems of intergalatic existentialism. 'The Boogie' also features appetizers from forthcoming albums by Amalia, Blaktroniks, Replife, Soulparlor, Vindahl and others dropping 2011 via TDR. Connecting the dots between electro, rap, house and R&B, this exclusive outlook is equally recommended for fans of funk past, present and future!

Production: AD Bourke, Addiquit, Amalia, Atjazz, Aybee, B. Bravo, Blaktroniks, Chacho Brodas, Dudley Perkins, Eagle Nebula, Favorite Flava, Georgia Anne Muldrow, John Robinson, Machinedrum, Opolopo, Omega, Portformat, Reeno, Replife, Sasac, Saturn Never Sleeps (King Britt & Rucyl), Soulparlor, Spinnerty, Stray, Swede:art, The Rah Band, Tokimonsta, Vindahl.

Tokyo Dawn did it again. On January 21st they will release this fantsatic Sampler, featuring funky artists, serving the dance attitude to your living room. Miama Bass, Modern Funk, Disco Woofs, Future Beats and great voices. A Revenge of the 80's. Some weeks ago we featured incredible lady "Eagle Nebula" on the blog and it makes me happy to see her on the comp too. Stay tuned until 21.st january and play the stream above to shorten your waiting time.

Audio: ThinkLoud - Droppin Mirrors // Album Rel. 18.06.2010

Thinkloud:
Droppin' Mirrors is a musical cross-section of past collaborations, as well as a glimpse of projects to come.But what makes this compilation special?The tracks featured are no mere licensed releases, nor are they a "Best Of" of ThinkLoud's back catalogue. Droppin' Mirrors contains almost nothing but exclusive productions. These are the natural result of joint shows with, and tours managed by ThinkLoud's DJ Conikt across Germany and Europe. We managed to get artists like Aloe Blacc (Stones Throw), Kev Brown (Up Above), Grand Agent (Superrappin') and Oddisee&TrekLife (Diamond District) on board. At the same time, young and talented artists like Portformat, Shuanise, Fid Mella, and others have found their way onto the album. They embody the very sound we are aiming for.A major portion of the songs were composed by in-house producer Stroe, and recorded together with the guest artists in Berlin.The result is a genre-crossing product that transcends its roots in Rap, Experimental, and neo-Soul.Droppin' Mirrors sets sail towards electronically fragmented, soulful beats, deconstructivist arrangements, and unconventional ideas to let a charm of its own flourish.
