| “It’s hard to pick out a sampling from all the fresh tunes you’ll find in “SOL’S SONIC LOUNGE.” Of course it’s best you get your ass over here and check it for yourself, but meanwhile here’s a teasing taster of aural pleasure, brought to you by the Sol Man.” | ||

CHILL SLACKMOB offer a tight fusion of funk, reggae and hip-hop.
Their conscious lyrics and eclectic sound get them airplay on KCRW. If you
came to our grand opening, you've already seen how these cats can raise
the roof! “Epicenter” [mp3] |
||
| >>>>>>>>>THE
FUTURE SHAPE OF SOUND are the world’s finest makers of Space
Age Gangster Soul, 60s Hip Hop and Psychedelic Blues. Last I heard, they
were off touring Russia, so log on to “itunes” and download, before
they explode! “Doomed” [mp3] |

>>>>>>>>>COLE
has hip and hopped her way onto the sound track of “Girlfight”,
and has just produced her first album. Cole & her partner Taylor,
at “Oddball Entertainment” also manage another of my favorites,
“Escence.” |
||
| >>>>>>>>>ESCENCE
has a slammin’ sultry sound, and lyrics that range from pussy-cat friendly
to downright fierce. “Breathe” [mp3] |
||
| >>>>>>>>>ANTHONY
REBELLUM is a righteous rapper with an awesome set of pipes. I first
saw him perform when my sister dragged me to “Agape,” to hear
his momma address the congregation. Our mom’s used to hang together,
and they say his mom gets voices from spirit? These voices done told her
some shit about how I should check my liver, but anyway, seeing Rebellum
and the band kind of made up for it. “Courage” [mp3] |
||
| >>>>>>>>>BLACK
SHAKESPEARE is a psychedelic reggae artist with a skankin’
mellow vibe. He gives a totally Raas live performance, you can catch him
at “The Chocolate Bar” on Melrose, Saturday nights. “If It's Meant To Be” [mp3] |
||
| >>>>>>>>>PSICORPS
are the latest from U.K. electronica collective Equilateral Productions.
Their sound takes you through morphing atmospheres interspersed with befuddled
beats, down into darkness, back though into the light to leave you searching
your navel for fuzzies. “Streetwalker” [mp3] |

BERMUDEZ is a world-beat Nicaraguan congo-drummer/percussionist,
who’s recorded with Mickey Hart and Santana, amongst others. His recent
credits include “Kill Bill,” “Once Upon a Time in Mexico,”
and some Indie movie called “God’s Waiting List.”. He’s
right now touring with Ann Margaret. I play his stuff when I’m trying
to drum up the energy to straighten my apartment. “Dance Of The Divas” [mp3] |
||
| >>>>>>>>>ERIC
LEE BLINE’s CD came in the mail a couple of days ago. I played
a bit while I was stuck in line at the bank, it seemed to make sense at
the time. “Low” [mp3] |
||
| >>>>>>>>>IMANI
WALKER is my home-dawg when I’m down with some serious gangsta
rap. He’s a young talent who tells it straight what’s going down,
and he totally kills it. “Shake That” [mp3] |
