Music We Love :: Bobbito Garcia’s Alala Records
We couldn’t be more excited when Bobbito told us he was starting a label again – a 7″ label at that! Then we were sent the first single by Yosaku, “Malembe”, with none other than the man himself on the mic rocking all the Latin countries by name. We were already impressed, but then we heard that he’s got Mark de Clive Lowe on another 7″ release with Lady Alma’s tribute to Michael & Stevie, “I Can’t Help It” and Rahel’s Hope coming out TODAY!
As a way to promote the debut of his new label & all this great music, Bobbito will be spinning at a couple of in-stores this week: Today, 4/27 at Fat Beats (6th Ave. bet. 8th/9th St. 2nd Flr.) at 7pm and on Thursday 2/29 at Academy Records (12th St. bet. 1st Ave./Ave. A) on 4/29 at 6pm. This is a rare treat to hear Bob live at two great record stores, so don’t miss it!
Music We Love :: Silhouette Brown
Silhouette Brown is what happens when four great producers, songwriters & vocalists collaborate on a record and then bless us with a little tour. We’ve got Dego (4Hero, 2000Black), Kaidi Tatham (Agent K, DKD, Bugz in the Attic), Bembe Segue (MdCL, 2000Black) & Lady Alma (Sylk 130, 4Hero). With a line up like that, you’re bound to get the jazzy, soulful sound we’ve come to love along with the deep bass headnod that we can’t live without. Preview the record on the 2000Black site and make sure to check out the live shows during WMC (3.24-26) & in San Francisco (4.9), DC (4.11), New York (4.17) & Chicago (4.21).
Music We Love :: MdCL Presents Rahel, Hope
Our good friend Mark de Clive Lowe just released Hope, a beautiful, piano-laden track with British songstress Rahel. She is definitely a soul singer you should keep up with. Rahel has worked with other artists we love – Eric Lau, Dudley Perkins and Georgia Anne Muldrow. Not only is this song gorgeous, but it’s also a FREE DOWNLOAD!
Mark de Clive-Lowe, Musician + Producer :: 120 Seconds
