Indigenous Soundwaves - Native Sun

First things first, shouts out to my dude, producer, Kensaye Russell for introducing me to this sensational duo. Indigenous Soundwaves consist of thought provoking emcee, Mohammed Yahya and the angelic soul of  singer/songwriter, Sarina Leah. The London based duo joined forces in 2010, melding Hip Hop and African rhythms with the aim of promoting a positive message of Universal Peace, Equality, Social Justice and Environmental Change. 

As individuals, I'm familiar with Sarina's voice via her work with producer, Eric Lau and Mohammed's - his Luvolution project as part of Blind Alphabetz. Together the two have assembled an album so soulfully harmonizing - rich in conscious content that perfectly blends Sarina's delightful vocals with a combination of Mohommed's english inflection and his native South East African tongue. "Gallery of Dreams" is my favorite at the moment, but don't sleep on "Senses" produced by Kensaye provided he introduced me. Albums like this I want to have on disc, so I'm going to hold off on the digital 'til then. Take a listen below and please do support.  

ClassicBeatz - Ntale's Groove (The Remixes)

Last Friday, my dude ClassicBeatz dropped his latest project - a remix of four tracks from the awesome, Ntale's Groove. Classic and I spoke about the remix project during an episode of WSLE Soundscape Radio. He mentioned how the 4 producers, Barbera (Brazil), Mister Critical (Belgium), Strand (Brussels) & Jay Hats (Netherlands) all did an excellent job with creating a new sound for the tracks they remixed. I have to say, I agree. I like them all, but my favorite has to be Jay Hats remix of The Nigerian High Life. The drum and bass vibe he creates really stands out  and gives the track the opportunity to rock in the club. The album is a free download, so head on over to Classics bandcamp and get yours.
