Without a doubt one of the most important voices in 20th century music, proto-rap pioneer and - offensively but not inaccurately - the black Bob Dylan, Gil Scott-Heron steps into the next decade with his first album in thirteen years, I’m New Here. This digital DJ promo features the first single “Me And The Devil” and the blues hollering “New York Is Killing Me.” Recorded in New York over the past eighteen months, I’m New Here reveals the huge, banged-up heart that shows the only genuine motivation any activist or artist should have, a bone-deep, unsentimental love for humanity.

DJ PROMO: Scott Hardkiss - “Come On, Come On” EP featuring Lisa Shaw w/ Remixes by Morgan Geist and Joe Claussell

October 1st, 2009

Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.

Dance music legend Scott Hardkiss unleashes an extra-special package with the 2nd EP off his highly-acclaimed full-length album, Technicolor Dreamer.  ”Come On, Come On” is reminiscent of Scott’s groundbreaking early work “Raincry,” blending funky breakbeats with a dreamy, uplifting & atmospheric vibe and futuristic electronics. He’s taken the vibe to the next level with a heartbreakingly beautiful vocal by the much-loved Lisa Shaw of Salted & Naked Music and a soul-dripping track that’s already being hailed as a future classic.  Presented along with the DJ-friendly Original, Instrumental, & Acappella mixes, the EP also includes extraordinary club remixes from two more of the world’s finest DJ/producers. 

The legendary Joaquin “Joe” Claussell of Body & Soul and Sacred Rhythm puts his hands, mind and spirit on “Come On, Come On” and came out with over an hour’s worth of multiple mind-blowing mixes. This digital DJ promo includes his sunrise-ready “Sacred Rhythm Suite,” a truly magnificent 15-minute epic journey that’s bound to become an organic house classic, gorgeously weaving together Lisa’s voice with live piano, Latin guitar, tribal percussion & African choir “The Voices of Mali,” as well as an accompanying instrumental version. Yet another modern NYC master, Morgan Geist of Metro Area and Environ fame, gives the song his own classic electronic feel with his retro-futuristic remix in a techno/new-wave style that brilliantly reworks Scott’s own vocal contribution & synth arpeggios together. The 80’s flavored beats, synths & sounds bring the track simultaneously into nu-disco and New Order territory. NOTE: AIFF files are available by request

DJ PROMO: Scott Hardkiss - “You’re the Star” EP

June 17th, 2009

Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.

Legendary SF/ NYC electronica pioneer Scott Hardkiss is unleashing his most fully-realized vision yet: his highly-anticipated debut artist album Technicolor Dreamer, set to be released on his own new indie label God Within Recordings. While the majority of the album features a 21st century P-Funk or Prince’s Revolution-style band (a sexy, diverse group of vocalists and musicians: musically-eclectic, multi-cultural, and poly-sexual), the album’s first single “You’re the Star” finds Scott playing every instrument himself (including drums, bass, keys, guitar & vocals), save one blazing guitar solo rocked by one Jose Luis Pardo (a.k.a. DJ Afro of Los Amigos Invisibles). This digital DJ promo brings you the album version, the instrumental and the acappella, along with two remixes: With his Juicy Mix, Robbie Rivera creates what is sure to be a big room, hands in the air, vocal dance floor anthem for the summer, while Kris Menace takes it in to deeper, dubbed-out underground territory in crafting his groove-worthy instrumental rework. NOTE: AIFF files are available by request

June 15th, 2009

Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.

The second single from Illa J’s acclaimed debut album Yancey Boys, “Sounds Like Love” feat. Debi Nova is an irresistible, perfect fusion of hip-hop and soul music. The production for the song, like all of the tracks on Yancey Boys, comes from a cache of previously‐untouched beats created by Illa J’s older brother, the late great visionary producer James “Jay Dee / J Dilla” Yancey. This digital DJ promo brings you all six tracks from the “Sounds Like Love” 12-inch [Delicious Vinyl], with remixes from Nobody and Carlos Niño & Miguel Atwood-Ferguson, along with the instrumental and acappella. A prime example of what makes Jay Dee one of music’s great visionary producers, “Sounds Like Love” features a salacious bass line, bedspring‐ready boom‐bap, the understated loveliness of the electric piano, and that one secret ingredient (something that only Dilla would have known to add): a mysterious celestial frequency that, quite literally, sounds like love.
