Zo! and Sy Smith at Strictly Social 1.19.12

I return to my main haunt Little Temple this week for my first show of 2012. I am cutting down on the number of Nu-Thursdays nights that I do keeping it to about 2 or 3 per month as opposed to 4 or 5. But I hope to stack really good lineups and give myself enough time to promote each one. So far the year is looking good and the first one back features the always beautiful Sy Smith and the Foreign Exchange's Zo! This is a show a lot of folks have been asking for so I think it is going to be great!

If you are interested in checking it out there is a $10 discount list. Just RSVP to events@nu-soulmag.com

Nu-Thursdays presents Martin Luther - December 8, 2011

Martin Luther, also known as Martin Luther McCoy, quite simply was born to sing. A truly gifted and highly styled musician whose studying of gospel, funk, rock and soul music at an early age set in motion what many have come to identify as the making of a Rebel Soul. The multi-talented singer, songwriter, actor, musician and producer has been bubbling within the music world for years, and has already energized music lovers across the globe with collaborations with some of Pop and Hip Hop’s finest. Martin’s last studio album, “Rebel Soul Music,” was one of music underground’s most anticipated albums of 2004, nationwide. Finally set to release his highly anticipated third studio album entitled, ‘Love Is The Hero’ Martin Luther fans should expect to be revitalized, seduced and empowered with a dynamite blend of polished Pop, intoxicating Rock and a whole lotta’ Soul.

Drum & Bass Mix for Signal Flow Radio

I dropped by Signal Flow Radio earlier this month and spun a live drum&bass set. I havent spun DnB in a long time so it was a lot of fun to break out the vinyl. I dropped some classics and some not-so classics but it was all in my soulful yet hard style. Go ahead and download it!
