alexia coley ist eine lady, die ihr ganzes leben auf das ausgerichtet hat, was sie jetzt im herbst 2014 prŠsentiert: drei single-veršffentlichungen einer limitierten 7- vinyl- edition brachte ihrer musik die aufmerksamkeit von medien wie bbc6 music, radio 2 und bbc london. nun ist ihr debŸtalbum aufgenommen, abgemischt und bereit zur veršffentlichung. ihre musik hat einen klassischen soul- und jazz-vibe, gleichzeitig retro und modern, aber mit den kanten und ecken einer lady, die im zeichen des modernen london in ladbroke grove aufwuchs. ihre songs sind zeitlos, aber immer verbunden mit leuten die erwachsen geworden sind und ihr leben im hier und jetzt leben. alexia findet man sowohl mit rapper und dj, als auch in einem line-up von jazz-spielern im ronnie scotts.

seit ihrem gleichnamigen debŸt aus dem jahr 2007, hat das trio um die charismatische saengerin yukimi nagano, mit seiner erfrischenden mixtur aus electro-pop und neo-soul, kritiker und fans gleicherma§en verzueckt. little dragon songs vereinen klassische popstrukturen mit ohrwurmmelodien und coolem late night-charme. chillige passagen wechseln sich mit groovigen uptempo-dance beats ab. so kam es in den letzten jahren zu kooperationen mit ebenso coolen kollegen wie gorillaz und sbtrkt. vorliegendes best-of-album vereint die 14 besten songs aus den drei peacefrog-alben: little dragon (2007), machine dreams (2009) und ritual union (2011)

das label affine samt seinem aushaengeschild, dem microkorg-wunderkind dorian concept, ist eine der positivsten erscheinungen des vergangenen jahres in der oesterreichischen musiklandschaft. nicht nur kenner der heimischen szene, sondern auch groe§en wie gilles peterson lassen sich vor verzueckung zu wahren lobesreden hinrei§en, und das, obwohl die ep -twice upon two times- erst der zweite offizielle release des plattenlabels ist. bei jsbl trifft groovender jazz-rock mit progressiver verspieltheit auf knackige keyboard-synthie-lines, produktionstechnische sicherheit und viel liebe zum musikalischen detail.

do you love elegant, sophisticated music with a feeling, as much as raw, gutsy, hard-hitting music? guessing that you do penniman records takes great pride in introducing you to the excitements, because their music fits into both categories. they are an all natural free-of-additives-and-preservatives r&b / soul band. a band with both feet solidly planted on memphis and detroit, and with a heartbeat which is pure chicago. to put it simply, the excitements are what the doctor ordered: six dynamite musicians intent on bringing out the very best from koko jean davis extraordinary voice, a voice which will either break your heart or astonish your ears, whatever koko fancies the most. the excitements career is truly awesome. their first gig took place in july 2010, and a month after that the band embarked on the first of their three recording sessions, their first spanish tour and a series of concerts all across europe. very few groups can boast of enjoying such a critical success, selling so many 45s and capturing such a loyal following in so short a time. their splendid first album, -the excitements- available on vinyl and cd - has been produced by the great mike mariconda - the only living man with a direct connection between his ears and his crotch. hearing is believing, and koko and her partners are bound to mesmerize with numbers such as nathaniel mayer s -from now on-, barbara stephens s -wait a minute- and little richard s -never let you go-, a track which will go straight to your heart. you may call them old-fashioned. a classic sound, if you wish. one thing is clear: the good stuff is here to stay. stop reading, listen to the excitements and hear for yourself.

for over a decade mark grusane & mike cole have been a vast music resource for djs, producers, collectors, rare music compilers, and specialty stores around the world. they started individually, each with their love of music. they traded and sold music with those -in the know- for years. in 2004 mark & mike focused their energies into founding mr. peabody records. the business plan and mission was to become a world class resource for all genres of obscure music. until now, their focus has been growing the shop. but the soul of mr. peabody records does not reside in the bricks and mortar the store, or even in the bins of records themselves. the real genius lies in mark & mikes unique ear for music.
