Music We Love :: Mark de Clive-Lowe’s ‘Leaving This Planet’ EP
Mark de Clive-Lowe’s new EP, ‘Leaving This Planet’ has the perfect title. He knows how to craft music that takes you into the future, while allowing the past to be your guide.
Artists We Love :: Deborah Jordan
The first time I heard Deborah Jordan’s voice was on Silhouette Brown’s self-titled debut album, and I simply fell head over heels for her singing. That album quickly became the only thing I would listen to for weeks, and I especially couldn’t stop playing ‘Spread That’ – a track that to this day is in my top 5 songs of all time.
Clubnights We Love :: Mark de Clive Lowe @ NuBlu
[MdCL] This is from our good friend Mark de Clive Lowe:
two of my favorite ever gigs in NYC were both at NUBLU. the first was with sammy figueroa (miles davis alum) on percussion and bembe segue on mic; the second was tawiah on mic and samuel torres (chick corea band) on percussion. it kind of reminds me a little of the jazz refreshed… night in london – the vibe is amazing and so perfect to explore music in. so… a little unexpectedly, i’m going to be hitting at NUBLU again for round #3 !
Music We Love :: MdCL EP vol. 1, Especial Records
I was just blessed with Mark de Clive Lowe’s new EP out on vinyl from Especial Records, one of my favorite labels out of Japan. The last thing I wanted was to have to wait til I get home to my turntables to hear these tracks. So I checked them out here in the meantime. The track with Bembe, Dreams, is right up my alley – percussive, sassy and Segue-fied. It’s super tasty and a sure banger for my sets. The remix of “Common Ground” has a deep house bounce with jazz elements and soulful vocals. Unfortunately the preview of Sandra St Victor’s Cosmos was unavailable, so I’ll have to report back next week when I can play it on my system.
