Matthew Bandy & Aphrodisiax feat Adeola Ranson Little Bird (DJ Spinna Remixes)

Love this record, killer track with amazing vocals from Adeola, alongside the production of Matt & The AphroDisiax equals a hit record!! Trust me this is a must have for you record/cd box!!

Tribe are proud to present an exciting new collaboration, Matthew Bandy & The AphroDisiax have teamed up to deliver an awesome single 'Little Bird', full off life and energy.

The track features the vocals of rising star and vocalist, Adeola Ranson who has really started to make a name for herself following recent releases ‘Work Me Over’ on Bigspin Music and Little More Love' with Sean McCabe on Soul Heaven. Adeola delivers a strong vocal, over some deadly drums wonderfully crafted by the boys. Add to that, some supersonic synths from the majestic Kaidi Tatham of Bugz in the Attic fame and you’ve definitely got a floor filler on your hands. The package is made even more complete with three stunning remixes from New York legend DJ Spinna who spices things up in true Spinna style using his charististic bouncy beats, mesmerizing keys and magical Moog taking the track on a new dimension.



Matthew Bandy has been producing quality house music for over ten years, and you won’t come across a more impressive discography. After living his whole life in the States Matthew made the decision to move to London last year and the move has been justified allowing him to further his creative vision. Matthew meet the AphroDisiax (Sy Sz and Gavin Peters) last year as they use the same studio and the rest they say is history.

AphroDisiax are a DJ / production collective hailing from West London, UK. With a style fused between deep, soulful, tech, broken beat house music. Consisting of members - Sy Sez, Gavin Peters they’ve been making a lot of noise in the last 12 months with releases so far on Soul Heaven, Jus House plus many others.

Little Bird received heavy support at this year’s WMC in Miami from the likes of Timmy Regisford, Louie Vega, DJ Spinna, Danny Krivit plus many others.

Kem is back with "Intimacy"

I see this and it got me excited, dun know Kem can throw a vocal down........ An lets hope we get some great house mixes out of it aswell....



Universal Motown Records singer-songwriter-producer KEM has announced that he will release his third album, Intimacy, in July 2010, preceded by a series of online promotional videos that will reintroduce him to the marketplace by offering an intimate preview of what's to come. The new CD is the Detroit native's long awaited follow-up to his critically acclaimed and certified gold 2005 disc, KEM Album II.

Intimacy was inspired by KEM's deeply personal lessons on intimacy and it will allow fans to experience him unlike ever before musically, lyrically, and visually. For the first time in his career, KEM will lay all of his cards on the table and grant fans the opportunity to get up close and personal while delivering a 10-song collection of timeless music for the grown and sexy. Intimacy features vocal and production collaborations with the likes of Grammy-winning soul diva Jill Scott and the late Motown legend David J. Van dePitt, who famously produced Marvin Gaye's 1971 masterpiece, What's Going On. Scott delivers enchanting verses of spoken word in "Golden Days," while Van dePitt arranged the Detroit Symphony Orchestra's string section on the first single, a gorgeous ballad called "Why Would You Stay."

Los Angeles producer Rex Rideout (Luther Vandross, Angie Stone) also joined KEM in the studio to help round out the Intimacy listening experience. The result is a richer sound buttressed by classical instruments and a greater range of musical styles that will certainly expand KEM's audience by garnering success across multiple formats, including pop, R&B, and urban adult contemporary.

The first online video to be released offers a revealing behind the scenes look of the making of a promotional commercial for the new album that was filmed at the MGM Grand in Detroit (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z8xq8_UaaHE&feature=player_embedded). The second clip will be the actual promotional commercial, which depicts a night in the life of KEM, partying with friends at Detroit's MGM Grand and breaking out in an impromptu performance at the club. It serves as a formal introduction of the new album and KEM's understanding of intimacy. "The moment you realize you're not alone is your finest hour," he says at the start of the commercial. "When you can finally allow yourself to be seen as you truly are-that's what intimacy is to me." Smooth grooves, powerful vocals, heartfelt lyrics, and just plain feel-good music best describe KEM's instantly recognizable sound.

In 2002, the self-taught musician wrote and produced his critically acclaimed debut solo album, Kemistry, which spawned the hit single "Love Calls." The classic track went on to break records for longevity on the Urban A/C chart while the disc achieved gold-plus status and solidified KEM's position as a leading man in the world of jazz-influenced R&B music. The success of his gold certified follow-up CD, 2005's KEM Album II-which debuted at an impressive No. 5 on Billboard's all-important Top 200 Chart-proved KEM's staying power in the very competitive world of R&B.

Now with the release of Intimacy, KEM is opening up to reveal the elusive man behind the voice. In fact, working on this project not only led KEM, a proud father of two daughters who self-produced his first two albums, to a deeper understanding of the true meaning of intimacy, but it also helped him achieve a greater appreciation for the significance of intimacy in all aspects of his life beyond romantic relationships. "I've spent the past five years working on this project in the midst of many personal trials, which caused me to pause and take a more introspective look at myself, my family relationships, my walk with God, and even how I relate to my music," said KEM. "What I found was that giving each more time and attention is essential."

Review of Deep Cover @ Dex Club, Sat 5th June

Well oooook, this weekend was freakish!! It was so HOT then came the tropical rain (you know that chubby warm rain) but it was still so muggy and hot....... So glad Sunday was cooler...

Now with that in mind lets begin, Deep Cover on Sat was set to be a stonker and in alot of ways it was but as with all good parties a problem with the venue can mess with your mojo!!! Now I pitched up at 12 on the dot and gosh it was stifling inside Dex club. Simon boi was pitching some warm up grooves, fixing for Groove Assassain to come on an tear up the place.

Now before I forget Paris Cesvette let me just say although I missed your set I have it on good word that you played a blinder and let off some hot exclusives of your own.

Now the problem with Dex club on Sat was the HEAT, Jeeez. If you stood still you were sweating!! An this was making it hard for people to get their swerve on but as with all good crowds they did a good job of soldiering on!! Many took it as shift work to go between the dancefloor and the upstairs roof terrace.

Now Once Groove Assassin stepped on the party stepped up a notch playing deep soulful and dubby with the occasional sprinkle of outright soulful slammers, we were on our way to a monster jam but after a while unfortunately the heat started getting the better of everyone, which lead to an increase in the upstairs downstairs migration! But Groove defo did his job and got the party ready for Neil Pierce then to step up.

Neil then persisted to bang out tune after tune for his whole set, now for those loyal readers you will know we expect nothing less from him!!! Check the brief video for proof lol. Now don't be disheartened cause the only half the crowd lol the rest of em are upstairs trying to cool down lolol. Also a big shout goes out to Blue Boy who drove it home till gone 5am and werent having none of the bouncers sh1t about stop the music...... Go on my son :-)



As always big up the Deep Cover boys, I hear a venue change is on the cards but whatever happens boys you got a good party, great crowd, always on point with the line up, so KEEP IT UP.

Support Good Music....

The End of The London Club Scene....? No Matter??

Well this has been going on for a while now and has hit us all hard in some way or another. First up we started losing venues like Herbal then recently we have Lost Plastic People & Matter, now Fabric has just gone into administration??? An the battle for Ministry of Sound is still underway......

Well after the rumours were confirmed today about Fabric, I just sat and thought to myself, is this the end for us in London as a clubbing Mecca for the UK. I mean our clubs are known worldwide, you can go to the furthest regions of the world and Im sure someone will know Fabric, Matter or Ministry.

So ok, we would be losing our trademarks but on the other hand there still are thousands of other clubs/parties going on that we have been going to for years, I know its not the same and definitely not the same in terms of capacity but I don't think its game over.

If you look at it from this perspective (Im an artist) now over the years the internet has had its advantages and disadvantages. With myspace and soundcloud you can be heard by a new audience and maybe get a deal? but with filesharing you can be illegally downloaded, now filesharing is a whole different ball game dont get me started!! But playing devils advocate there could be a plus side of filesharing, certain artist that people wouldnt buy or take time to hear, their music maybe downloaded on a whim and off the back of that the consumer would go to their concert/gig or by their next album, hence the money still comes in?? JUST TO BE CLEAR I DO NOT ENDORSE THIS IN ANYWAY, SAY NO TO FILESHARING, SUPPORT ARTISTS, WE GOTTA EAT TOO. Now the long winded reason for the above paragraph is, in some ways something good can always come from a bad situation so long as you look for a positive.

On this blog i try and promote good nights, for you to go to on over the weekend and you know what?? Alot of them are small nights, where the vibe is better the people are good and most important, the MUSIC TUMPS etc etc Take restless souls nights, Deep Cover, House Dance or Tribe...

I dont know everything and Im sure you guys have big views, SO FEEL FREE TO COMMENT BENEATH OR IN THE COMMENT BOX SECTION, I would love to know your views and interact...

Peace an Blessins

Soul Heaven & House Dance Review

Ok So where do I start, first off I am overly pissed off with Imovie & youtube hence the lateness of the review but what I will say is I had a wicked weekend and really had fun..... :-)

Soul Heaven Review

Right so I pitch up at ministry around half 12 - 1 ish and everything is in full flow, as I enter in the bar you had Dj Garphie heating things up and Neil Pierce in the main room warming the crowd for Joey Negro and Louie Vega. Now usually I would go into detail about each person etcetera etcetera but today I am just going to give you the notetables and the low down.... Why because I wasn't overly impressed with it!

First person on the list was Neil Pierce who played a blinder of a set, a perfect warming vibe showing true knowledge of house music so props to him (p.s happy birthday lol). Next Andy Ward, who also played very well, keeping the bar bubbling and vibe rolling through.

Now unfortunately the crowd didn't really understand or get what Joey Negro was doing with the house and disco edits but I thought he played very well none the less.

Where as again I was unimpressed by Louie Vega, I though he could have done alot better and this was reflected in the fact that the crowd upped an left!! Not to go home though, they were in the bar where Sy Sez was playing, who had the the crowd eating out of his hands, playing alot of deeper/soulful/techy grooves that kept the crowd bubbling and wanting more (full props to Sy a very good set). Now to mine and the crowds disgust they closed the bar early to get people back in the main room to listen to Louie, nuff said....



House Dance Review

Now this is a party for everyone to enjoy, I only found out about it recently and this was my second time going to this weekly event but boy was it a good night, if you like House and dancing this is the one for you, big up Jimbo Robins and Phil Asher for showing me the light on this one.

I got there early doors with the mrs, about 11 and just bubbled all night You had Jimbo and Bopstar throwing down grooves, plus a surprise PA from Zara McFarlane and some wicked dancers in, Shay Normann, also two of Japan’s rising stars in the Jazz Dance world Maki & Tamayo, London’s very own Diva La Funk bringing you a Freestyle Vogue & Wacking performance.

I dont need to say anymore check out these videos and see for yourself.
