According to a press release, Tame Impala’s Kevin Parker picked the songs “based on how different the live versions are from the album versions.
– a few left over from RSD 2014 it seems…The set was recorded during a 2013 concert in Chicago. Bringing in some great local players, this EP is a triumph of sweet modern soul!
Ryno’s production is a solid bed for Rita to use. After having gotten her jazz chops this girl knows how to sing. This EP drips with soul and Rita’s voice is strong. – Local SOUL SISTER has landed with her second EP – produced by Ryan Ritchie who has again struck gold. Contributors include Greg Porn, Dice Raw, Raheem DeVaughn, Mercedes Martinez from the Jazzyfatnastees, Patty Crash, Mary Lou Williams, and the Metropolis Ensemble. Jackson, Joseph Simmons, Damion Ward, and Ray Angry. – Hardest working band in Philly………And Then You Shoot Your Cousin takes its title from a lyric in KRS-One’s “Step Into a World (Rapture’s Delight)” (“MCs more worried about their financial backin’/Steady packin’ a gat as if something’s gonna happen/But it doesn’t, they wind up shootin’ they cousin, they bugging.”) It was produced by ?uestlove, Black Thought, and Richard Nichols, with help from Mike Jerz, Trapzillas, The Wurxs, D.D. THE ROOTS “…And then You Shot Your Cousin” (def jam) LP $34 IN his words, “I put a lot of time, effort, sweat, blunts, coffee, fruit juice, and exotic spices into this release so if you fuck with it, why not get your hands on your very own copy that you can take, hold, love, live with, transport around with you in your walkman, phone or personal media device and all that good shit?” – LOCAL beat-tape, we don’t get many of these so lap it up! Its great instrumental hip hop, sampled with lots of sweet soul. SKOMES “Mindloops Ona Heartbeat” (groove penguin records) cassette $10 The two songs on this 45 are sweet KIWI soul jams. Ladi6 and Parks travelled to the U.S to work with renowned music producer Waajeed (Bling47/ DIRT TECH RECK), recording the album at Studio A recording studios in Detroit, with grammy winning engineer Todd Fairall. – The 2nd release on NZ/Brazil label Mucho Aroha Music comes from Ladi6′s latest LP “Automatic”. LADI 6 “Ikarus / Ready To Fly” (mucho aroha music) 7″ $15 – A sweet funky number from Charles Bradley – done in duet with Larose Jackson, and with almost a deeper feel than some of Bradley’s other work! The vocals move with the rhythms in this great way – less harmonies than each singer at the same time, then breaking out into their own verses while the band keeps up the groove! “Change Change Change” is another duet, and equally funky – with some great vocal back/forth action that really mirrors the instrumental grooves and poppin bass lines…Dig it! CHARLES BRADLEY feat Larose Jackson “Luv Jones / Change Change Change” 7″ (dunham) $12
