.Podcast: Dj Rahdu- Intimate Collection

Listen to DJ Rahdu - Intimate Connection by DJ Rahdu.

Once I heard “Whatever You Say” by Little Brother blended into this smooth mix, I knew it had to be my next feature.  DJ Rahdu has been influencing my airwaves since I became a steady visitor at BamaLoveSoul.Com, and he nails the vibe again with this new compilation: Intimate Collection.

Take a minute and cool out (or warm up, if you’re in Boston today), with this sly mix. Enjoy!


This album is about influence, inspiration, perception &         
      reality. Every song was written in an outside environment,       
      so that I could observe the subjects that would become my      
      subject matter. All too often in Hip Hop, reality is limited      
      to that of the artists own, actual experiences. People Hear       
      What They See is my attempt to liberate the MC from those       
      constraints & allow reality to be penned other than my own.       
      Listening to congressmen & lawyers converse on the steps of       
      the supreme court inspired 'American Greed', Watching a          
      couple argue over the phone in a bar inspired 'Maybes'. By        
      having a visual representation of my subject matter, my           
      hopes are that the listener will see them through the worlds      
      & melodies of my songs.

Kanye West - White Dress (12')

.Audio: Kanye West- White Dress

… As much as I love to ride around bumping base-heavy KWest like “Clique”, my favorite Kanye sound is storytelling Kanye.  That’s right, mellow Kanye.  808’s & heartbreaks Kanye. He let’s his softer, truthful side back with this track “White Dress”, with the production including an old soulful vocal sample. Many speculate this track is for his current gf Kim K, but I’d rather just chalk it up to The Man With The Iron Fists soundtrack.. : ) Enjoy!

.Office Beatz: State of Zoe- Mind

 State of Zoe is a band from Tallin Estonia that manages to fuse Jazz, Pop and Soul in such an organic way…I love it! Singer Anneliis Kits has a voice my ears can really appreciate. It’s our pleasure to introduce you all to State of Zoe. Oh and for just 2 euro’s I think you all should get their “Mind” (Part I) EP by the way. [Moovmnt.com]



.Podcast: BamaLoveSoul Presents- FALL…In

BamaLoveSoul Presents – FALL…in by Bama Lovesoul on Mixcloud

….Amazing tracks only get you through 3-5 minutes of your day, then its back to the Mac, in search of another great song.  This is why I love listening to compilations of various tracks and artists that are mixed with a certain skill set that keeps you bopping and grooving for an extended period of time.  This particular Cloudcast comes to us from the excellent site, BamaLoveSoul.com in honor of chillier weather and good ol’ #CuffinSeason. 

Each song of this compilation has been well scrutinized, continuously played and meticulously placed in a specific order to help you take the leap and even possibly Fall…in love. [BamaLoveSoul.com]

.Audio: SENSE & Sotu the Traveler- More of Me (feat. Ninthe)

The perfect sounds to get my energy and focus for the week.  This song is from their upcoming EP “Rise & Shine”. Catch the preview here: http://soundcloud.com/beats-broke/sets/rise-shine

“SENSE skillfully interweaves haunting samples in the tradition of DJ Muggs and RZA, while Sotu The Traveller’s organic instrumentation sculpts mystic, bass-drenched atmospheres.”-[Soundcloud.com]

So fresh and smooth. Enjoy!
