The year was 1989, I was in 9th grade, and Tony! Toni! Tone! broke the top 10 of the Hot 100 with the single “Feels Good.” The song was electric.

Last week, as part of a private session for Red Bull Music Academy, I had the distinct honor and pleasure of moderating a discussion with old school mega producers, the Mizell Bros, and new school funk luminary, Todd Simon.

Rashida Jones is one of my favorite comedic actresses – from “The Office” and “Parks and Recreation” to “I Love You, Man” (a movie I appreciate more and more as my boyfriend attempts to turn me into a Rush fan).  But, digging into her music tastes, it’s hard to ignore that Rashida is also the daughter of one of the most influential men in …

A few months ago, the editor of this blog, RR, turned me on to local band Superhumanoids. I found a CD with a …

From KCRW DJ Garth Trinidad:
Montreal’s CFCF is forging a new kind of baby making music. With a production style slightly akin to German colleagues like Boozoo Bajou, CFCF’s sound is easing down the road of post modern international, instrumental soul-dance-hip hop. His sound is part classic CTI, part dawn after an all night intimate encounter, and part score for the next underwater Imax adventure. …

“Art is not about living in the past” so says emcee Zumbi AKA Zion, of Oakland-based hip hop mainstay Zion I. He’s referring to the duo’s forward progression of work dating back to the late 90′s.
