Reggie B is a soulsinger/producer from Topcity (Topeka Kansas) with a warm yet spacey sound using a Motif keyboard and going for those authentic roads & guitar sounds. We’ve been onto this guy for a while, but when I received some tracks from his upcoming album (The Traveler) I just had to post This Pain. Get ready for an action-packed post!
He has already dropped several albums like Go on the Japanese label Circulations. He almost produced this whole album by himself exept for a couple of guest productions by Lenny D (who produced Go), Saadiq from Platinum Pied Pipers (who produced We R Here) and Miles Bonny (who produced I Apologize). This album has some serious tracks on it, so be sure to support good music and buy it HERE!
The Future Music album is a project Reggie did together with Daru. I just love the title track (produced by Reggie) and what a coincidence Reggie also worked on the title track for Jay Scarlett’s New Worlds album that dropped last year, which is also an amazing track! Last, but not least, he also featured on the Alpha compilation that came out last March on INnatesounds.
There are so many projects Reggie is working on so be sure to keep an eye out for the, soon to be released, political joint called Whitehouse Lies about former president Bush. Georgy Porgy gets burned on this one…I’m lovin’ it like McDonalds and this one will be available on all digital stores only! There is an upcoming album with Miles Bonny on the shelves and don’t even get me started about his The Traveler album. Each producer from the INnatesounds crew (Miles Bonny, Daru, Lenny D, Reggie B) will be releasing or have already released an album for the Work series. Reggie’s Work Vol.5 (Musical Joyride) will be coming out next month so I guess 2009 is gonna be Reggie’s year. This cat is taking over! Thanks to Reggie B & the ThinkLoud radioshow for the interview.

So much music… As much as there is an upper crust of known musicians and producers in this matrix, much like an iceberg, there’s a formidable mass below that is strong and as capable.
Some time ago I came across a recording Between Earth & Universe authored by a young beatsmith Stevo. Slow, grimy electro-nice tempos with very spaced out imagery.
This young 22 yr old German native has been the classic fan of hip hop. With idols such as The Chocolate Boy Wonder, Gangstarr, Madlib the Bad Kid as well as they far, wide reaching and ubiquitous James Yancey, he has seen his fame rise through the broadcasts of the Lord Jay Scarlett @ AmpSoul Generation Radio and through the good ppl @ Monday Jazz. He has now released his 2nd mixtape, Another Space Odyssey. The soundscapes are deeper, more nebulous and with same sharp snare and thick kicks.
Enough with the words and verbs. Take out your sharpest telescope and sit back and take in Stevo’s sophmore release, soon to blow up like a Neutron Star.
Be sure to grab the whole mixtape, and hit Stevo’s myspace . Show love. You know I will. And in fact, he rawks an MPD24 like I do. Say wrd. BTW, shouts to Fella Vaughn for Stevo’s stellar artwork. Written by HZA.

Dj/Producer/Radio Journalist & Independent A&R Jay Scarlett has been collecting music since the age of 15. Mainly started collecting classic hip-hop from Run DMC to Nucleus then went on to expansive soulful recordings.
His soul interest developed into more of a broad spectrum of music from the early 90´s branching out into house and early Detroit music such as Mr. Fingers, Kevin Saunderson, Ten City then into more soulful house which lead back around to soul and hip hop.
Jay got involved in pirates & internet radio Pure DM back in 95 and went on to have residency’s at the Bass Clef (Blue Note), Jazz Café, rock Café & WKD in Camden, UK and developed musical ties with most of the UK music scene thru the jam sessions (one dj and band concept) that was one of the first sessions to incorporate this kind of interaction. ??
Jay’s first recordings were in 2000 for One Dot Zero Presentation & Book Sneaker Size Isn’t Everything, also contributed a composition for the first UK Global Hip Hop Album Collaboration
(Speaking in Tongues). Developing ties with Morgan Zarate & Steve Spacek in the early 90´s Jay became aided tour manager/Dj for the group Spacek/Sound system & later Touring in several countries around the world.
Presently residing in Munich Jay has several residencies as well as supporting a lot of the main international acts flowing thru Munich plus a Show on The Biggest Japanese/Worldwide Internet Station Samurai FM “Ampsoul Generation”. Which he uses to bridge the gap between bedroom novice producers and rising vocal artists in all scenes of present music.
In 2007 Jay Compiled & contributed a Track (love music) released on Beat Dimensions Vol 1 Compilation to critical acclaim Featuring artists that have now gone on to sign with legendary labels Warp as well as other outer national indie labels triggering a new perspective & focus on “The beat” generation also Reebok Lifestyles compilation 1 bringing together the best in established and up & coming artists from around the globe & Vol 2. Is on its way for circulation June July 2008. Now researching For L.A Label Poo Bah Compilation (Beat Bugz). & HMV Compilation Japan Also working on a self produced full-length album.
