Vibes Upon Vibes

Chill love and light today. Are you ready to ease your way over the hump with a bit of thump?

 

YUSSEF DAYES & ALFA MIST // London, UK

Vibes, upon vibes, upon vibes, upon vibes! Love and light to all. Shout out my man Alvin for sending this Yussef Dayes piece! I thought it was a perfect introduction. I couldn't find this on Bandcamp, but it is on Spotify.

 

10.4 ROG & (Liv).e // Dallas, Texas

A lil' dusty. A lil' classic. A bit of headbop and a lot of soul. Instantly on repeat. I do wish I could mix this record though. A lilttle bit of humpday motivation. Stay focused! Lovin' the vibe of this tune... and those harmonies. This and other treats are on Liv.E the album entitled, Hoopdreams on Spotify. I do wish there was a better mix of the record though... I would love to mix a joint [I'm lookin' at you Powaline]! Grand vibes. Great work!

 

TIMOTHY BLOOM // Los Angeles, California

Classic and soulful. At first, the chord changes reminded me of Only Have Eyes for You by the Flamingos...but then the change came and I changed my mind! :) Work it out, people.

 

PETROLANE / Chicago, Illinois

Picking the electronic energy up with this one...Chill. Synthy. Bouncy. This would be in my headphones while I stroll the city on a sunny day. Good vibes!

 

 

That's it for this episode of tHumpday! I'd like to thank all of the artists for contributing to the greater creative collective in life! See you next week with more groves from all over the world! You can also listen to tHumpday on Spotify!

tHumpday 15 - New Music from the UK & US

THE NU VIBES

Today on tHumpday we get into chill, soulful and slightly electronic vibes with artists from the United States and the United Kingdom!

 

YAZMIN LACEY // Nottingham, UK

First, if you don't see a play button just click on the image above. My kinda vibe, everyday all day. Soulful and chill. The title of this song is 90 Degrees and it comes from the 5 song EP entitled, When The Sun Dips 90 Degrees.  Great work! If you like this kind of music, but this song isn't worth your £1, I really don't know what is. Do a good deed and buy this song today!

 

CLARA KENT // Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

I love when things come full circle and thrive. I remember hearing Clara on a song called White Sage which was featured on tHumpday #7 (a sign in itself) a couple of years ago. I'm happy to see she and the crew are still in the game. We all have a few things to go through on our journey. Stay focused and believe in yourself. Clara thinks so. I agree. Grind well.

 

SPACE INVADAS // Australia

Going back into time... Steve Spacec & Katalyst. Nuff said.

 

WILLIAM FLORELLE / London, UK

From the UK, William Florelle with As the Sun Sets... This song has a very cool electro-groove with a bit of waviness and the keen abaility to make the headbop!

 

 

That's it for this episode of tHumpday! See you next week with more groves from all over the world! You can also listen to tHumpday on Spotify.

Jazz Beats & Treats from Bandcamp!

Thumpday is back with beats and treats from artists all over the world on Bandcamp (and only on Bandcamp). Disclaimer: I dont get paid to do this. I have no affiliation with Bandcamp other than the fact that I sell my music on Bandcamp as well.

With that typed, let's get into a few gifts for your ears!

CECILY // Washington D.C.

So beautiful. So lovely. Minnie-Ripperton-esque-ish. Wash away yourself doubt with this goergeous piece of ear heaven from Cecily. Classic, acoustic...soulful. Wonderfully, melodic. Find your inner river and let it push you to where need to be.

 

MOSES SUMNEY // Los Angeles

Soft. Naked. Beautiful. Right before the three minute mark is a subtle change that pulls my heart strings. I'm so in love with the emptiness and movement of this piece of audible art. And the lyrics... Beautifully honest. Emotionally expressive.

I’m not somebody; somebody would savor us
You need a solid, but I’m made of liquid,
Trust
In me, I am the son of the sea
And I’ll call you when I feel finally free
I don’t know what we are
But all I know is I can’t go
Away with you with half a heart

YUSSEF KAMAAL / London, UK

Layers of jazzy dopeness in the pace of drum of drum in bass, but not in the style of drum and bass. Strings. Drums. Bass... and a bit of well effected trumpet! This track can take you places, if you would be so open. Strings of Light! If you like this, check out the album here.

 

MADISON MCFERRIN

Acapella. Dope. Well written. Nuff said, becuase if I keep writing, I'll feel like it's never enough. Check it out! be patient. It gets more magical after the intro, but the outro tho..................!

#TBT tHumpday! Sensual House Edition

It's been a while. Today I share a few cool throwback house tunes.

One of my favorite sensual house tunes, Skin Diver by the one and only Boddhi Satva & Teedra Moses. If you let it ride a bit, you'll see that the D-Malice Expression mix is sooooo sexy and sensual, I love it! To make it even worse, in the best of ways, the Expression Dub takes the tune into a different space that's a bit harder, but sexy. The original mix of this song is quite alluring, as well. Hear all the mixes here.

Still in love with this Paul Deep ft. Jayla: Run Away. I know it sounds crazy but...

In a similar vein on another arm is Going by the one and only Oscar P along with Afro Rebel Sound System and Tatiana. To be honest, the whole set of 8 Years Running Afro Soul edits are hot. Another favorite in that series is 1000 Kisses.

Another favorite is Inner Freak by Kholi on Tribe Records! Loving it. Perfect summer deliciousness for those who like to release their inner explorer.
