The Mackrosoft - S.E.M.E.
(Digital release) Mackrosoft Records, 2009-07-15

Every time the synth-voodoo masters of The Mackrosoft drop a new album (which happens at a prolific speed), all the bouncin’ heads of Wax Poetics turn in unison. That trend continues with the release of their new album S.E.M.E., featuring eight tracks of the pure, unadulterated, ahead-of-their-time Mackrosoft music we’ve come to love. Head over to our MP3 Store now to get your hands on S.E.M.E., and then read more on the Mackrosoft by heading over to our page of exclusive online content by following this link.

Grant Phabao & Djouls - 21st Century Blaxploitation(MP3 Podcast on ParisDJs.com) T.I.M.E.C., 2008-02-06 Info : From oldschool wah-wah rides to psychedelic soul, from deep funk to b-boy partying, from soul rock to electronic grooves, from pop to disco, here's the first volume of a new series of mixes, covering the '21st Century Blaxploitation' genre. This is an imaginary soundtrack to a smashing flick yet to be filmed, starring vintage shots of Pam Grier in her prime, animation fused with real-time shooting, uncanny 3D special effects and even more amazing stuff we can't divulge yet!...

The Olympian has a richer vibe than we were expecting -- with lots of live drums, synths, percussion, strings, horns and other elements blended into a really atmospheric, straight up fun vocals by Aja. - Dusty Groove

This track is not for music categories, but for recipe books : take elements from a US West coast jazz/funk lounge number [For example, "The Immortality Project" by Seattle's funkateers The Mackrosoft]. Select the 70's groovy melody of the Fender Rhodes and wah-wah guitar, of course. Cherish the sax licks from multiple-man Skerik. Don't forget the organ stylings from former Beastie Boys collaborator Money Mark. Then get the whole thing drenched into deep dub territory by expert in sound manipulation Grant Phabao.
