A friend of mine gave me an unmarked CD of these guys not having known anything about them… no expectations and yet here I am blown away and impressed! Fresh harmonies/beats and grooves. You could chill, drop acid, or whatever you like, clean your room or something to these guys and you would probably be in a good mind set. DIGGIN IT!!!!! Big ups SPACEHEATER for Heatin up the SPACE!!!
After a little more research, i don’t what CD I have but it’s got a little more programmed/lofi/dilla vibe which I am liking a little more than the live, but hey nonetheless, Spaceheater!
I love this song, Bobby Sparks is Killin on the keys, and of course everyone else as well. The first time I heard this record it absolutely blew my mind. Smooth, LayedBack, Funky, Soulful, Jazzy, all the makings of my favorites.
Greetings friends and observers of all sorts!! This is the news:
It has been too long, I have too much music unheard and unavailable to the masses and I won’t stand for it any longer! I have the framework and material for a full-length album in the recording/production phase with a number of tracks almost done or completely finished and many others written and in the conceptual stages.
The style will be an eclectic fusion of electric soul-hop and organic instrumental flavor. I will be taking on the majority of sounds, from vocals to production, guitars, and otherwise with some projected appearances by Aloe Blacc, U-N-I, Cook Classics and others (If you are reading this and want to get involved please hit me up!). Live joints and other instruments will be featuring The Love Supreme (Bennie Rodgers, Peter Dyer, T’eamir Sweeney, Ron Avant, and Joseph Gonzales), Manifest Music Productions‘ Adam Berg and DJ Matter, production by Nathan @ DTA Studios (Rough Status big ups!). Newest update: Envisage Films (Marcus McDougald) has began production on one of the music videos to be featured with this release!
So there it is! My Manifesto for Artistry. I have some reservations and occasionally fear about being an artist. Some may say that I already am an artist per se, but until now I have never marketed myself as such or focused my effort into finding my sound and I am excited about sharing a part of myself with the world, some of the experiences I have had in my life and some thoughts on our state of affairs in society, spirituality, and otherwise.
For years I have focused my efforts on mastering the guitar and other instruments, to compose, record and produce music, but recently my goal has shifted to tackle the art of song and the stories, the melody and the emotive. To find the essence of who I am and share it with you.
For now I will leave you with a simple youtube video performing an acoustic version of my song “Change.” I am considering blogging throughout this production process and giving some previews of where I will be going with this one. PEACE, BLESSINGS & HEALTH to all!
