Deftune

Weather Pending’s album And How! is a dreamy and imaginative collection of soothing and beautifully delivered sound that melts into your inner core and transports you into a world where only good things happen. Just imagine biting into a chocolate bar when you were a kid and that’s exactly the same feeling you’ll get when you listen. The San Fransisco based trio delivers a wide mix of styles ranging from dub, electronic, hip hop, and reggae. If you were wondering how they achieved such a rich warm sound, it’s all thanks to the wonders of recording live to 2 inch analog tape. Highly Recommended.

I just saw Simple Citizens perform last night at the Scotland Yard Pub out in Canoga Park and they ripped it! Check out their myspace page and stay updated because you do NOT want to miss their next show. If you love jazz, reggae, and that classic hip hop sound we all love you definitely have to take a listen. During their performance they seemingly switched up from hip hop grooves with Anton spitting sick rhymes on the mic into a full blown jazz improv set featuring an upright bass, jazz guitar, trumpet, drums, and percussion. It blew my mind. Here’s a track called The Bearded Fist! from their album Early Morning

Eek-a-Mouse is one of Jamaica’s premier Reggae artists. He is also the creator of “Singjaying” a combination of syncopated vocal embellishments. He got his name from a racing horse he used to always bet on in case any of you were wondering. His career took off in the early 80s. He has an impressive catalog of releases but my favorite album is Wa-Do-Dem which was released back in 1981. I’ve seen a few of his live shows and believe me it’s something you’d have to experience. You’ll be enjoying life and forgetting all about your inner inhibitions the moment he sings his first words. Lucky for us he’s performing soon at the We The People Festival here in Los Angeles. Check out a few of his tracks from Wa-Do-Dem.
