I'm sure this woman gave Miss. Triana some inspiration at some point, as well as anyone who has heard her music. This is why Soul is called Soul.

Soul (New+Old)
In my opinion, Andreya Triana has one of the most soulful voices the industry has heard for a long time. Championed by Bonobo, she has featured on a few of his tracks and their styles complement each other all too well. So much so that Bonobo produced Andreya's debut album 'Lost Where I Belong'. She has also done vocals for magician Flying Lotus. Can't wait to see her at Soundwave Festival in Croatia this summer..

Funk (New+Old)
Found out about these Australian Funksters having listened to DJ Yoda's edit of 'Up On The Hill' featured on Shapes 10:02 which is a brilliant compilation album ranging from reggae to experimental stuff. The Sitar used in 'Up On The Hill' gives off a lovely eastern sound which would be perfect to hear on the beach somewhere. If you like it they've got plenty of material all of which is great!
I had to incorporate some James Brown into this genre and a remix of one of his classics is my old track choice. Though this song isn't strictly 100% Funk, it definitely gets a crowd going when ever i've heard it played out. DJ Parker never gets it wrong with his remixes of iconic artists. Check out his Aretha Franklin one and more on his Soundcloud.
Hip-Hop (New+Old)
Getting things going with some hip-hop.
Bit of a lie already as the original track of this record isn't too new. However i've just got into Q-Tip (a little late) but really liking his stuff. I wasn't actually going to post the Fingerman edit but noticed it whilst looking for a link on soundcloud and i really like the funked up faster version. And i just can't resist a cheeky remix..
Hijack provides some sick scratching for the older hip-hop record. The track samples Bongo Band's "Apache". That may not ring too many bells however i'm 100% sure you'll recognise it if you have a listen.

New+Old
I don't really know where to start music wise to kick it all off. So i thought i'd just get a shit load good music posted at once to get the vibes flowing nicely. I thought an old and new record from each genre i've listened to would be a nice touch.
Church
To christen my new blog i felt it was fitting that my first post should be dedicated to South East London's newest and most exciting underground music project. Church kicked off 03.03.11 at St. Giles Church, Camberwell and after only five weeks of entertaining clubbers from all over London, the crew managed to attract a large fan base who have since followed Church to one of the best venues in the country in Corsica Studios. Having cemented a regular weekly club night in London, Church have sprouted a secondary musical branch in Manchester, in my opinion, second only to London in the country for underground music.
The Deaf Institute was where the Manchester party began and it's testament to how far Church has come in such a small amount of time that the launch was at such a prestigious venue. During one of the quietest clubbing periods of the year, Church packed the place out. Meanwhile in London, Church have hosted artists xxxy, My Panda Shall Fly & Monki all of whom are regular headline acts across the country and europe. With Fantasic Mr. Fox, Cookie Monsta yet to play Church, there is plenty of partying and happy punters in the pipeline. Church have also got producers Dark Sky present at the Parklife after-party they are throwing at Joshua Brookes.. which may possibly be the best party they've thrown so far.
Residents and Founders JRT and APES do not intend to take their foot off the pedal and with artists Slumstate and TCTS regularly taking to the decks with the boys, there is plenty of musical talent at every Church event, headliner or no headliner. Watch out for Church in London, Manchester and probably any other city in the country who wish to hear the freshest sounds in the underground bass music scence.
