the music contained in this album invokes the vibes and spirit that were so crucial to much of the music recorded during the 1960s & 70s in jamaica. if you talk to the musicians and singers of this era, they will tell you that the driving force behind the songs they created was the sheer love of music. this is one of the reasons these recordings are so powerful and move listeners to this day. music like this can only be made by those who were schooled in the studios and yards around kingston and is not something that can be easily reproduced outside jamaica. the kingston all stars represent some of the most legendary musicians to ever grace the little island & it is thanks to their passion and dedication that we have a lifetime of music to enjoy.

moby has released a new single and video for Òlike a motherless child,Ó from his forthcoming album everything was beautiful, and nothing hurt. featuring la-based soulstress raquel rodriguez, Òlike a motherless childÓ is a re-work of the well-known spiritual, with its origins in the slavery of the american south. the track describes the void left when one feels separated from a parent, higher power or similar guiding force. over the years this powerful song has been reinterpreted by the likes of odetta, lena horne, mahalia jackson and van morrison. the album is a glowing tapestry exploring spirituality, individuality and the brokenness of humanity and finds him returning to his orchestral, soul, trip-hop and gospel roots.

der new yorker saenger und multi-instrumentalist allen hoist machte seine ersten buehnenerfahrungen an der seite von soul-, latin- und jazz-legenden wie tito puente, dizzy gillespie, millie jackson, solomon burke, sam & dave, ron carter oder mongo santamaria. eine tour brachte ihn schlie§lich nach europa und es begann eine tiefe verbindung zu paris und der dort ansaessigen musikszene. gemeinsam mit einigen der besten world musik-& jazz-musiker der franzoesischen hauptstadt nahm er im jahr 2000 das klassische jazz-album -just before spring- auf. in den darauf folgenden jahren entwickelte sich eine enge zusammenarbeit zum soulab label. fuer sein neues album -soul renaissance- arbeitete allen hoist mit renommierten produzenten wie 4 hero, kaidi tatham (bugz in the attic), greg gauthier oder franck roger zusammen. so entstand eine brillante kombination aus akustischen und elektronischen sounds und einfluessen aus soul, house, jazz, broken beat, doo wop, nu soul, afro beat, latin und funk.

a stunning return to form for one of the pre-eminent modern soul singers - with background vocal guests including jody watley, faith evans, lalah hathaway, shanice and the andrea crouch singers. a remarkably strong fifth solo album from a soul singer who defines the word classy. highlights are his trademark gorgeous ballads ( miss you and goodbye ), hypnotic mid-tempo grooves ( 6 am and stay with me ), and irresistibly funky dancefloor tracks (the instant club hit ghost featuring jody watley). the insistent, gospel-flavoured mountain top is unlike anything you ve ever heard, and features the legendary andrea crouch singers. the album is rooted in the classic principles of melody and poetic lyrics while embracing eighties r&b/pop as purveyed by prince and michael jackson. since his outstanding 1997 debut album for mca, rahsaan has evolved as a vocalist and songwriter, along the way writing songs for tevin campbell, brandy, ledisi, lalah hathaway and van hunt. now in 2011, with the assistance of his regular production cohorts keith crouch and jamey jazz, he delivers some of his finest work.

introducing the raudive alias, he created a reduced, sexy, dancefloor-centered wave of greatness for labels from drumcode to cocoon. this sound turned out to be highly attractive for the djs to play and for the girls and boys to dance to. the unparalleled appeal of his beats left the usual minimal competitors sounding rather dull. thus raudive quickly became the blueprint of techno modernism and one of todays most influential genre-bending production styles. macro unleashes the highly anticipated debut album - chamber music. chamber music is both: claustrophobic in sound design, reminiscent of the dark and sweaty concrete club spaces this music inhabits, as well as carrying acoustic qualities of induced instrumental experimentalism. bitches brew voodoo reeds, new york no wave voices and european avant strings spin a mesmerizing dark patina around the ultra-sexy year-3000-rhythms. no wonder theres huge dj support all accross the board - from miss kittin to richie hawtin, surgeon to trevor jackson, ricardo villalobos to jeff mills. massive deep edge and one of 2010 finest albums so far!
