    Love Echoes To The Cosmos Mix (+Download)

    As a true r&b/soul music junkie, it is not easy to find NEW songs about genuine romantic love between two people. These days, we are stuck with basic club and sex anthems, with the occasional heartbroken melody breaking through the airwaves. The other day, I was randomly inspired while designing collage concepts based on the beautiful aesthetics of the film Black Orpheus, to curate a list filled with current artists who speak on love and deeper experiences. I have done love-based mixes with heavier themes of lust, like Tease, Close, and Love Maker. This one is a bit different and has a classic soul – funk – jazz feel. The…

    TiDUS – My Energy Visual

    Late last year, TiDUS began teasing his fans with short previews of new music. He then released two songs, Honestly and FYTB. Both singles sparked more anticipation for his upcoming project titled Once Your Believe In Yourself. A couple of months later comes the incredible official video for his latest single, My Energy. Although the artist has yet to share an official date of his new album, it’s common for him to spring his releases on us, surprisingly. We can expect definitely more new sounds soon. This simplistic video features a lone TiDUS, dancing and delivering inspiring words over a self-produced beat. The music true to his style and showcases…

    Lordapex – Interplanetary Funk LP

    Interplanetary Funk LP by Lordapex could prompt anyone to catch an immediate vibe. This album is an absolute headbanger, from start to finish. Lordapex is gifted with a flow that juggles listeners from earthly concepts to imaginative abstract zones in between. This is, of course, is right up our alley! The British accent he delivers it all in somehow adds an intriguing flair to the style. I have so many personal favorites from this twenty-two track project. Some of my instant replays were Pretty Penny, Cyborg Luv Story, Em International, Palm Blunt Like Paint Brush, and Rick & Morty—with its incredible beat. I’m really looking forward to hearing this artist…

    2017 UPDATE: Vegan & My Upcoming Online Store!

    I have not done a personal life update in quite some time. This is a special year for myself, according to certain signs I’ve noticed, and all that is already coming into play within my direct reality. After years studying, cooking, detoxes, and financial planning, I am ecstatic to declare that I have adopted my own version of a Vegan diet. Last year, I shared a post about my Vegetarian/Pescatarian experience, which began in my early-adult life. This is the right time for myself to cross over into a lifestyle that pulls at me daily. The most difficult obstacle has been financial and relating to a lack of knowledge about…

    Let’s be more Sporadic! + Subway Dancers in L.A.

    I recently lived a day of random fun with friends I have not seen together since the year started. One of them mentioned, several times, how it seemed that he had not been out in the world for weeks, or more. He works the nightshift. It was funny, because it was like he was experiencing a re-awakening. I also found it amusing how he chose to express this realization as we were walking along the most busiest street in the area, but this is also someone who is always humorous and imaginative. He could easily be a comedian. The same friend had also not been on a train to Hollywood…

    Rae’Soleil Sun Goddess & Dj Causaltee – The Movement EP

    Rae’Soleil Sun Goddess and DJ Casualtee collaborated to present this EP earlier this year. With every listen, I am more grateful to have come across this unique project which acts as a personal reminder to those like myself, that there are others out here which the same intuitions and intent. You may or may not catch the powerful messages which happen to reflect the current energies on the earth and changes we as people (humans) are experiencing individually. It is refreshing to find more artists who are authentically breaking the mold when it comes to the lyrical content of their art. Check out this stunning porject for yourself and support…

    Yasiin Bey: “F*ck off ISIS” on Paris attacks, imperialism and colonialism

    “The problem is people’s lack of compassion and care for themselves, for their fellow human beings…And that’s what gets all of this nonsense going. We don’t treat each other well and we need to treat each other better than what we are doing.“ “By the way, we are already in outer space. We’re already HERE on this space ship earth, propelling, spinning all the time. Everything we need is here. Earth is efficient, but if we don’t do right by each other we will eliminate ourselves.” “They’re trying to drive people into a state of high stress, so people don’t have the space to really slow it down, love themselves,…

    Phlow – Melanin EP

    The Melanin EP is a wonderful play to either begin or end the night with a room full of friends, and I also highly recommend it when you attempt to get closer to a special one. The entire project is light and well balanced. It is truly fitting for any time you want to smile, dance, and celebrate life. The artist, Phlow has a soothingly smooth voice while the lyrical content throughout the project is as infectious as my favorite timeless neo-soul jams. It is not surprising that popular producers including Sango and IAMNOBODI provided sounds for a few of the songs, including my favorites Blackberry (Intro), Sweeter The Juice,…

    Mind Noise

    I have been reliving that awkward first moment when one of your most replayed songs is the one with your own voice on it! I wonder if I will get used to it. This feels like a good time to share the recurring themes I have noticed as of late. I find myself frequently inspired, and the wonderful thing is that the inspiration comes to me in many forms. For instance, the Flying Lotus show which I attended at The Wiltern was everything amazing that I expected, but there was something he said about how the things we create make us immortal that truly hit me at the right moment.…

    Make way for the new. . .

    New ideas, new ambitions, new manifestations! New VIRGO Moon! Today I am searching for a piece of mind that is weightless. I am searching for weightlessness so that I might fill it with energy of the greatest channeling I have ever done. If you are anything like I can be, you might constantly imagine ways to make yourself better. And if you’re even more like me, you tend to struggle with the manifestation of what you come up with every now and then. Sometimes I feel these blocks have a lot to do with having so much happening at once. Do you ever feel that way? Not just distracted, but…
