The advent of digital downloading has created a vast medium for musicians to sell their music to the world.  Modern technology has made it possible for independent artists to promote cds to fans all over the globe. Community websites such as Myspace, Hi5,etc., couple with internet radio and popular podcasts to bring beautiful music to the masses.

 

In the wake of the Hurricane Katrina disaster, many musicians donated proceeds from album sales to victims of this catastrophe. The healing power of music came to the forefront to help those in need. The sincerity of collective artistic efforts was duly noted. What effect would music have on society if it were continually used to garner attention for the less fortunate?  In a digital society, shouldn't digital sales play a major role in fundraising?

 

We are pleased to announce the launch of our new program Downloads for Dollars. A revolutionary idea, it partners stellar independent musicians with established non-profit organizations . The program has a dual purpose (1) Give deserving artists much needed recognition and a viable outlet to sell their music (2) Provide a continuous opportunity for non-profit organizations to raise money for their stated aims.

 

Downloads for Dollars was created by DJ Come of Age and Markus Ekholm. A world renown dj/producer combo, the two have garnered international acclaim with the podcast 'Soul Music of the World'  and a catalog of over 200 songs, beats, and graphic designs.  Each week, thousands of listeners tune in for a welcome introduction to new musicians in soul, jazz, house, spoken word, and neo soul music. To date, podcast episodes have featured over 150 bands, labels, producers, and have been downloaded over 100,000 times! From the Americas to Asia, Africa to Europe, the music has both educated and entertained to the delight of thousands. To see the program in action, click on the links below. Stay tuned for more partnerships and announcments to come!

This post is borne out of love! See, I love all the support I receive from everyone. It motivates me to achieve more every day. As a result, the effort remains intact to find music which will touch your very soul. In the modern era, no sound exudes my vibe more than the music of Stico Von Drake.

In a word, it's marvelous!  Read more about Sticko below and be sure to get your copy of "Sacrifices" today! You owe it to yourself.

Instead of college, he took up part time jobs at McDonald's,  Burger King, TIME LIFE, Inc., landscaping companies, etc...,all to support his music career. He is currently devoting 18 to 24 hours a day to changing other peoples lives through the gifts given to him by the Creator. He is a session producer as well as a fluent drum, bass, and keyboard player. Stico has been producing for 12 years.

It's great to have many talented friends who play beautiful music. It's even better to be able to tell you about them all. Let me introduce you to someone I fell for at first sight, first listen. This is 'my girl' Salakida. Today we share her wondrous debut titled "Like Heaven". She's been in the mix before on the show but I wanted to bring you a bit closer. Reach out for the full effect and find her album online and at CD Baby.com.

It feels so good to be back in the mix! Thanks for everyone who knew my hiatus was all but planned. I've been balancing a lot of projects, some of which took me by surprise with the public response. "Download for Dollars" has taken flight. During the week I've been promoting, calling, networking, explaining, and all things in between. In the end, it will be well worth the grind.

When the schedule gets too hectic, I resort to doing what I know best...playing some sweet , soulful grooves and having a bit of fun with it. This mix episode ushers in a new era for me and hopefully for you as well. In the next three weeks, we have new music mixes from DJ Purple, The Brass King, more spoken word from The Untamed Tongues, and new full length COA mixes. So for Trel, Goldrose, Suga Shock, Gary Anderson, and all those people who help keep my faith on solid ground, this is for you.

CHEETAH CONSERVATION FUND ANNOUNCES

Downloads for Dollars

An Innovative Partnership to Benefit Music and Conservation

 

Namibia, 14 September 2006 â?? The Cheetah Conservation Fund (CCF) proudly announces ' Downloads for Dollars'  in partnership with DJ COA and Markus Ekholm of  the Swedish band Slowmo. DJ  COA and Ekholm, a world-renowned production duo, have pledged to donate fifty percent of the revenues from Internet downloads of their hit single" From A Window ". This soulful, acoustic track garnered critical acclaim in the U.S., Japan, France, and Sweden during its initial release in 2005.

 

Music lovers everywhere can now help the wild cheetah each time they download the hit song" From a Window,"  performed by Slowmo. The single can be found on digital music stores such as Apple's iTunes, MSN Music, Rhapsody, and Music Net. Each download will send a heartfelt donation to the Cheetah Conservation Fund on behalf of the artists.  

In the wake of the Hurricane Katrina disaster, many musicians donated proceeds from album sales to victims of this catastrophe. The healing power of music came to the forefront to help those in need. The sincerity of collective artistic efforts was duly noted. What effect would music have on society if it were continually used to garner attention for those in need?  In a digital society, shouldn't digital sales play a major role in fundraising? Downloads for Dollars  hopes to answer these questions. The program is a revolutionary idea partnering stellar independent musicians with established non-profit organizations, and addresses a dual purpose: (1) Give deserving artists much needed recognition and a viable outlet to sell their music; and  (2) Provide a continuous opportunity for non-profit organizations to raise money for their stated aims.

 

"Downloads for Dollars" was created by DJ Come of Age and Markus Ekholm of Slowmo. Together, this DJ/producer combo has garnered international acclaim with the podcast Soul Music of the World and a catalog of over 200 songs, beats, and graphic designs!

"Ambiance is Everything".  There is no place in the world quite like the Untamed Tongues Poetry Lounge. Headed by Warrick "The Husbandman" and Takicha Roundtree, this venue is the nation's premiere platform of spoken word talent. Responsible for breathing new life into poetry, their stage has catapulted both independent musicians and spoken word artists to new heights. My longstanding relationship with Warrick dates back many moons. He introduced me to Bekay the Brass King as well as countless artists featured on my show. With due respect, I now give him a proper introduction.

Listen closely to the voice, the delivery, the passion which with he delivers message and song. My own style, a mere emulation of his natural gift. This is the Untamed Tongues! This is Mr. Roundtree doing what he does best! So welcome to the spot! Tell a friend, pull up a chair, and prepare to be entertained with only the best in neo soul and spoken word majesty!

 Soul David has warmed the hearts of thousands the world over. Ever since I put him on the show, hundreds have written to inquire about soul music's latest sensation! A natural vocal talent, the music inspires as we feel the vibe of the Italian Street Soul. The remix of Lasciati Andare was done by my brother, super producer FaraOne4! If you feel this, then link to it. The music being berthed from Italy's premier duo is not to be overlooked. Take a minute to enjoy the sounds and share in the zest, the global appeal which is Soul David!

I'm a strong believer in making your own opportunities. In Oct. 2004 I created a site called honeysoul.com. Honeysoul.com's audience consists of a large number of loyal, soul music supporters who actually buy music (yes I know that's a strange concept but I'm not kidding, it still actually happens). In addition to honeysoul.com featuring my own mix of "radio blogs," full CD previews, videos, new releases, and headlines I am very proud of my interviews or "conversations" as I like to call them.

I have had the pleasure of talking to Jaguar Wright, Dwele (twice), Wayna, Gaelle, Carmen Rodgers, Lina, Julie Dexter, Darien Brockington (twice), Syleena Johnson, Ladybug Mecca, Stokley Williams (Mint Condition), Jonz, Geno Young, Jon B, Anthony David, Goapele, Frank McComb (twice), Valencia Robinson, Eska, Javier, Esthero, Yewande, Joi, Ron Isley, Lisa Shaw, Van Hunt, Amel Larrieux, Kim Hill, Teena Marie, Donell Jones, Bilal Salaam, Sy Smith, Randevyn, Carol Riddick, Yolanda Johnson and Raheem Devaughn. Who's next? It may be you. If you're a soul artist making meaningful music, let's talk.

 I predict that in the years to come, many of us will remember the first time we heard the beauty of Corey's voice. One of my greatest rewards occurs when listeners write to tell how thankful they are at the musical introductions! It will suffice to say this will be the beginning of a long lasting relationship. Our journey takes us to Amsterdam--Netherlands where Corey's debut album "Movin' On" has been released to rave reviews. A killer 16 track production, she has opened for the likes of John Legend, Adina Howard, and amazed crowds at the North Sea Jazz Festival. Isn't it about time you whet the appetite for deep soul with global reach and mass appeal?  Reach out , feel the vibe, and get to know one of my dear friends whose career is poised to take flight.

Flo is a female artist from the French West Indies. She writes in English, French, and last but not least in her native tongue of Creole. She mixes languages and styles in her own way. A product of her heritage, she writes about her traveling experiences in France, the U.S. and the Caribbean. A young black woman who is not afraid to show her emotions Flo will make you think, dance, and overall offer good steady vibes to your ears. Her sophomore release The Lost Flows mixtape shows what you can experience with Flos music. She drops twenty tracks and unites with fellow South Floridian Creole Hip Hop protagonists Mecca and Dr Zoe on Nap Monte, a Creole anthem in the name of the Kreyol Hip Hop movement in Miami. She brings some flavor to the tape with a surprising Zouk song, or reggae and dancehall tones. Flo is definitely a proof of Hip Hops global horizons of growth. Her first LP, the Aflowdiziak is also available and merits some attention. Flo features on the Pass Di Rhum Riddim album (2004) with international artists like Exxos, Admiral T, Krys, or Tiwony. This year she scores another vibrant song on the international KSS Caribbean sessions with artists like Jocelyne Beroard (songstress of the international sensation Zouk band, Kassav) or the original voice of Jamaica, Tanya Stephens. In the United States, Flo has worked with nationwide artists such as X=144 of TDP, and Sol-Illaquist of Sounds. Flo gets involved in the local Miami community as a photograph and community writer. She also helps up and coming artists to build their visual personality through her graphic works.

From vinyl manipulation on the turntables, to current production of jazz infused hiphop tracks, Crowd Control Records CEO, NickNack is a true soundcraftsman. His musical journey began in the late 80's after making the transition from hiphop spectator to participant. Cutting his teeth from the very beginning as a young appreciative turntablist knocking off rivals at Dallas' Sound Wars battles in the mid-nineties, Nick has worked hard to encompass a broad vision of ability, and a verbose sense of instrumentality, to match his already fruitful passion for music.

These days you can find Nick performing/touring with the jazz band BLAZE, or hear him rocking dance floors at various downtown clubs. Most recently, Nick has been enjoying the success of his latest full length release, "Improving Silence". The record has garnered him international attention and sales have been phenomenal. His progression as an artist and deejay is quite obvious, but his job is never done. Always in exploration of advancing his full turntablist potentials, and with countless projects on the horizon, Nick has grown into a unique artist, in a constant search of endeavors new and improved. Stay tuned, because this is only the beginning.

 Vintage Latin Jazz blends an old familiar sound with a contemporary edge! Miami, FL June 2006- Soulfrito and Above Ground Music release a timeless piece titled Vintage Latin Jazz. Picture the energy of Yankee Stadium, August 24, 1973 as the Fania All Stars take the stage in front of a sold out audience of 63,000 people. Vintage Latin Jazz captures the essence of these moments by combining the roots of our culture with todays newest sound. It is a mixture of legendary jazz greats such as Quincy Jones, Ray Baretto, Mongo Santamaria, Fania All Stars and Irakere with new artists like Hassanah, Brimstone 127, Calibe, Big Brooklyn Red and P.O.W. Power of Words and many more. The blend of artists creates nothing other than a feel good vibe that will never get old or become outdated. Vintage Latin Jazz is an underground compilation that will soon become a cult classic. The album is to be accessible to everyone. The Brass King producer of the album said, There is no category it can be put in, and no shelf it can be kept on. Perhaps there is no category or shelf because the listener can classify the album by what it means to them.

As a young producer i have come across many aspects of life. Things like Love, Trails, and most of all the Society in which we dwell made my age look like nothing in this buisness.

Theres something I do want to say to all of you, the loves and thoes haters of my music. Although I may not talk to you or we once had a friendship or we cant stand eachother, the music you hear is deep and clear enough to here your story. Everyone influences!

It's been almost two years since I began putting the music out. For me the start of it all began by hooking up with the group Slowmo from Sweden.

This free download of the week comes from the EP "Hidden Souls" and is called 'From A Window'. It is a favorite of radio and podcasters worldwide and has it's noted share of underground success.

I've always confessed to having humble beginnings. My journey has been fruitful and my success due in part to many people who have guided me in this music career. None more so than my brother Bekay, aka, the Brass King. Who would have ever thought I'd be in a position to give him a celebrity endorsement? Bekay wears many hats: DJ, producer, promoter, music historian, etc. His knowledge and respect for his craft set the standard for others to emulate. An ardent supporter of soulful musicians both major and indie, his mixtapes run the gamut of styles: soul, salsa, latin jazz, hip hop, etc. Today's podcast is a special arrangement for you to get acquainted with the man I give much deserved credit. Without further adieu, let me introduce to you all Bekay the Brass King!!!

From Langston,â?? the soundtrack to the novel â??The Gospel According to Sasha Reneeâ??, by Tracey Michaeâ??l Lewis. The CD chronicles the life of the two main characters in the novel, Sasha Billingsley and Langston Germaine. In an interesting twist, the CD is one of the first full-length novel soundtracks written and recorded entirely by one artist. The CDâ??s first single, â??Still In Love With You,â?? is gaining international acclaim, with airplay in the Unites States, Europe, Japan and Australia, to name a few. According to Christos Kioni of Positive Vibes Radio, Terry Gresham sings with passion from his inner being. With powerful yet soulful, captivating and sultry vocals, Terry's music can simply be described in three words: pure soul music. Look for Terry's new cd now at CD Baby.com and iTunes.
