Singer/songwriter and guitarist Raul Midón is on an undeniable roll. After GRAMMY® Award nominations for his two previous Artistry Music/Mack Avenue Music Group releases – Bad Ass & Blind and If You Really Want, each for Best Jazz Vocal Album – he returns with his 11th studio album: The Mirror. The Mirror finds Midón breaking new ground for himself, including two entrancing solo spoken-word pieces (“If I Could See” and “One Day Without War”). The album also features studio meetings with such veteran jazz colorists as vibraphonist Joe Locke (“A Certain Café”), as well as a songwriting collaboration with top pianist Gerald Clayton, “Deep Dry Ocean.” Another highlight is the road-weary jazz ballad “Cold Cuts and Coffee,” while title track “The Mirror” beguiles with its easy tropical groove, lyrical sophistication and Midón’s flowing electric guitar. As National Public Radio set the stage before his captivating edition of its “Tiny Desk Concert” broadcast: “Raul Midón lives in a world of sound. Blind since birth, Midón’s interpretation of his surroundings is borderless. He sings with the passion of the best classic soul singers, and his instrumental chops stand alongside the most accomplished jazz musicians.”
After his single release "Come Back to Me" last autumn, that gained big attention and airplay around the world, Funky Destination strikes back with his fifth LP studio solo album. Yes we are happy and thrilled to present you "Power of Soul". With a twelve track album, the artist brings back the funk with a vintage, old school and rare groove style. While the new school is not missing at all here, (yes that's how we like it, it's 2020 right?), northern soul meets western blues with extraordinary clever arrangements and big fat beats. Warm baselines , organic brass sections, hip vocals and funk to the bone, this is how we can describe this album with just a few words the brand new album from Croatian based producer Vladimir Sivc a.k,a Funky Destination.
The DJ and singer-songwriter from Buenos Aires, Argentina, creates deep organic electronic textures, which invites you to dive into and dance between the fusion of machines and nature, through songs, grooves, bass and textures that make up several planes that create a sound habitat for the dance floor. Conceptually ‘Paseo Telurico’ is a mix of synthesized and organic sounds. There is a little guitar, but used unconventionally to explore textures and distinct crosses. It also references to the Earth, natural habitats and the mixture between machines and nature. It has collaborations from Andy Andean, from Chile, and a remix from Orieta Chrem, from Peru. The three themes are a mixture of different cultures, and of organic textures with machines.
