Heavyweight beat generation cosmic hip hop n'jazz featuring Dudley Perkins and Georgia Anne Muldrow, Muhsinah, Dorian Concept and many more. Somewhere between the past and the distant future, sparked by dusty old jazz records and beat generation hip hop, at the audio cross-roads of Detroit and Vienna, are the sound stories that have been steeping in the head of 23 year old beat navigator Paul Movahedi, also known as The Clonious. His outerworldly, astral jazz riffs burst out between booming beats and shoe-gazer future-funk to give the pulse of his electronic sounds a unique organic edge.

The "Adroit Adventures EP" is the first of those tales to exit his dome and hit wax.

Channeling Sly Stone and Prince while looking straight into all the possibilities of the future, Boom Shadow is a summer sureshot from Bay Area resident Nino Moschella.

Nomo - Invisible Cities

Nomo Invisible Cities
Nomo - Invisible Cities
(CD/2xLP) Ubiquity Records UR250, 2009-05-05

Less than a year after the acclaimed Ghost Rock, NOMO have completed its spirited sister album - recorded during the Ghost Rock sessions and tours. Invisible Cities is informed by their ceaseless travelling, and visits to places both real and unreal. The sonic empire of NOMO is expanding; busting up genres and musical borders with astonishing results. With a theme stolen from Italian novelist Italo Calvino, each tune on Invisible Cities is a little world of it's own, dense with rhythm and timbre. Hot horns blaze through intersecting lines, heavy percussion drives the band down winding streets, the bass rumbles in some subterranean corridor. The sounds come from far reaching points, not from a fixed place on a globe, but from an area of the human spirit; One that is joyous, open and in motion.

(CD/LP) Ubiquity Records UR244, 2009-04-21

Late last year Ubiquity was approached by the mysterious Misled Children about another project from Clutchy Hopkins, the man they claim to represent. A vintage Caribbean tracksuit jacket was found in the office fridge, and written in permanent marker on the inside right arm was a request for a meeting where we would "get another piece of the Clutchy Hopkins puzzle."...

Betty Padgett - Betty Padgett
(CD/LP) Luv N' Haight LH058, 2009-04-07

Who is Betty Padgett? This is the question record collector and DJ Shane Hunt (aka DJ Sureshot) kept asking himself when he recently discovered the Betty Padgett self-titled 1975 debut LP while browsing through a dusty back room at a Los Angeles record store. "There is a certain feeling that a beat digger gets when stumbling across what may be a Holy Grail, it's what keeps you going on the quest to unearth lost musical treasure," said Hunt. "The record simply looked too good to be true. I didn't know if it was going to be Sweet Soul? Disco? Dirty Funk, or possibly even Reggae? When I got back to my crib and gave it a listen, I discovered it was all of the above and more," he added. Few records encompass all of these musical genres in one package, but this one captures the essence of Miami in the mid-70s with a sampling of all the sounds that made the region a musical hotbed.
