Meldeah : Record Store

Meldeah appeared on the album "Hidden Souls 2" a few years back. Since then, she's been working on a few musical projects.

Does anyone remember the group SEEK? They came out of Atlanta and had that smooth, mellow vibe of soul music that we appreciate?

Arrested Development-Ease My Mind

Arrested Development-Ease My Mind DJ Premier Remix (Unreleased)

Kay Flow courtesy of MrCooDoo

Time to "Welcome to the Game" Kay Flow. The newest spitter hailing out of Northern Cali by way of Southern Cali (Inland Empire). Using hard hitting punchlines and witty metaphors as the "Main Ingredient" to his recipe for success. His intricate flow ranges from a "So Soulful" aspect but easily switches with a volatile "Explosive Content" embodied by a "Savage" delivery. Schooled and raised by the legendary school of that old boom bap, Kay Flow is on a quest for the silence and "Assassination...

Ode to Matt Jam Lamont..

Earlier this week I was browsing online. Not sure where I was or how I came across this mix but it was posted as a free download. This mix was done by Carl "Tuff Enuff" Brown and Matt "Jam" Lamont back in 1997. These guys are world renown for their original mixing style of "house" and "garage" music. Thing is, I had the pleasure of watching them spin live in Blackpool and also in London. I lived in Cambridgeshire for two years in the late nineties and we  used to follow our favorited DJs all...

Beautiful Sounds by DJ Nerstylist

  I started this mix in 2007, finished it in 2008, and am now finally seeing it come to fruition in 2010. I actually intended for this mix to be a CD release, but ultimately decided that making it freely downloadable would be the best approach. The title "Beautiful Sounds" is pretty self explanatory. Basically, I wanted to take all things that sound beautiful, blend these things together, package it, then share it with all of you. When I think of the phrase "Beautiful Sounds", I hear congas...

Introducing Lando...."Space"

“Highly anticipated” is just one of the thoughts that come to mind when you think of Lando’s music you can use sophisticated, smooth, and heart felt.  Lando, who was born Orlando R. Joiner, started singing at the young age of 5.  Raised on Detroit’s West Side Lando was never certain he wanted to pursue a music career.  This came as a surprise to most because he sang in church. “I’ve always loved music but singing was another thing”, Lando says when asked how his career got started.
