with the release of fourth album crown posada, smoove & turrell cement their position as one of the uk s most exceptional soul acts with their innate ability to deliver hard times social commentary in a dancefloor friendly medium. proudly working class as a band - this album celebrates love, life, politics and the lows and the highs of growing up and raising families in the north east of england. gritty and powerful, the band make no attempt to sound or look like anyone else - not for them the sharp suits and trumpet twirls of some of their peers. instead you get a wildly talented and vital crew of larger than life geordie lads taking their rightful place on the international soul scene having already become figureheads within the uk.

geordie soul powerhouses smoove & turrell are back ahead of their upcoming album crown posada with the barnstorming single - you could’ve been a lady.
they are a breath of fresh air in the often cliched world of soul bands. the boys make no attempt to sound or look like anyone else - not for them the sharp suits and trumpet twirls of some of their peers. instead you get a wildly talented and vital crew of larger than life north east lads taking their rightful place on the international soul scene having already become figureheads within the uk.

focusing on deep and raw vibes, strictly wax and classic beats, the - montee louis ep- has been directly imported from bellevue ii, libreville gabon, africa & it has been produced by the great bernard da smoove. mpc-filtered deep house with some darker & menacing rhythms, a1 - hudson budd- kicks off the a1 with a meaty 4/4 kick drum which slowly finds itself surrounded by ghostly pads and even more haunting synths. a2 - thrawbock- mutates into a more light hearted house jam for the heads, with its vocal infectious sample. b1 - strctly move - goes back into familiar, smooth deep house territories but still retains his magic touch, able to transform even the deepest of basslines into something both unusual and musical at the same time. b2 & b3 thrawbock 88 & strctly move 88 are the 90s hip-hop (!!!) versions of the same tracks above : insane !! first time we heard it we thought, hell yeah, the production is just terrific & indeed there s a timeless quality to the intricately programmed drum machine rhythms, the drifting chords, warm

alexia coleys debut single on jalapeno *keep the faith* gained her a lot of attention both at home where craig charles on 6 music and robert elms on bbc london were big fans supporting the single on their shows - and abroad where italy in particular needed no persuasion to get alexia on the national airwaves. *beautiful waste of time* was co-written with former rotten hill bandmates gary mcpherson and andre shapps. their previous band big audio was led by mick jones from the clash and in early live incarnations alexia found herself singing the song with mick on guitar. the song was never committed to record and so with her old bandmates support alexia re-recorded the single with her current band and with producer dr. rubberfunk on mixing duties made it her own. her music has a classic soul and jazz vibe but with the edge of a girl who has grown up round ladbroke grove and seen what effect modern day london has on people. her songs are timeless but still relate to kids growing up right now and she can just as often be found sandwiched between a rapper and a dj on the bill as a line-up of jazz players at ronnie scotts. label mate smoove puts the drums to the front for a dancefloor friendly remix that will be tearing up clubs and festivals all summer long.

first album antique soul scored some heavy points with singles i can’t give you up, you don’t know & beggarman. gaining the lads two records of the week on radio 2 (radcliffe & maconie) and their first ever-national playlist on 6music. the original 7” of the northern soul banger i can’t give you up still changes hands for up to £160 on the net. this propelled smoove & turrell to headlining stages at festivals such as glastonbury and big chill to name a few, not bad for an unknown geordie band.

newcastles finest smoove & turrell are back with 2 tracks from their forthcoming third studio album broken toys to be released in may. their rise through the ranks of british soul has been unstoppable and this debut release from the new album sends the signal that they fully intend for 2014 to be the year they take their unique brand of northern soul worldwide on a major scale. lay it on me is a fast paced soul stomper which has been a mainstay of the bands energetic live show for the last few months while i just want more showcases the incredible songwriting and melodic appeal of this band.
