So who exactly is HEAVy? On their debut album JazzMoney$$, out on BBE, the duo take uptempo soul and feed it a bag of magic mushrooms, spinning it on its head, switching up the tempo and ramping up the intensity.

Reid Speed Interview
Reid Speed isn’t new to the dance world. Beginning her career as a clerk at New York’s legendary Breakbeat Science, Reid emerged in the early 2000s as one of the few female faces in the drum & bass scene, becoming an instant underground hero with her girly looks and New York attitude. She has released a few major mix CDs, appeared in Triple Five Soul ads, DJed for Jamie Kennedy’s show, and received ink in major publications like Urb. But with the changing music scene, Reid did the unthinkable. She moved from New York to Los Angeles and started making a name for herself as a breakbeat DJ. The change has worked and Reid continues to be one of the most booked female DJs in the US, switching styles from breaks to DnB, depending on the occasion. But it’s her commitment to the scene and culture that has truly kept her relevant in these fickle times. A down-to-earth personality and unquestionable skills and charisma on the decks are just icing on the cake.

BZ, networker extraordinaire, promoter par excellence, DJ? Absolutely….yes, the man that you see at all the spots, that everyone seems to know, has swiftly perfected his signature groovy mélange of beats that is guaranteed to set the mood and get your head noddin. As a long time lover of music, he began splicing cassette tapes & wreckin the folks turntables as a youngster. It was his first exposure to Hip Hop however that changed his life….though it was nothing he had ever heard before, something about it made him feel completely at home. Since then, he has searched and researched everything Hip Hop, fully immersing himself into all the aspects that makes Hip Hop unique. This passion led him to try his hand in all the elements and thus it's natural that he's smoothly segued into expressing his passion for music via the turntable. Also moved by the music in the form of dance, its inspired BZ to expand beyond hip hop and dig into the dance driven sounds of funk, nujazz and future soul. Nevertheless, when you hear his sets, there's always an underlying thread of Hip Hop that connects it all. With a goal of continually exposing good music to the public, BZ has found balance between dropping new and refreshing beats while still while building on classic sounds. It's his desire that his sets continually spark the urge in people to keep searching for new and fresh sounds because even if the sounds are new to your ears, the music can still strike a familiar chord in you…as if you already know it….just like his like his first reaction to hip hop.

Strictly Social January recap
We did it again. The January 2008 edition of Strictly Social was just plain incredible! This monthly event is quickly becoming one of the coolest nights in the LA soul scene. The evening started off with a listening party for HEAVy's amazing album JazzMoney$$. This next level album set the tone for the rest of the night and the early birds were able to cop a free copy of this excellent album
Read the review of HEAVy's JazzMoney
The venue was adorned with the photography of Kawai Matthews or Air Philosophy. She has shot the likes of J*Davey, Vikter Duplaix, Jazzy, and more!
Check out Air Philosophy
DJ Moonbaby took control of the decks at 10:30 dropping some hot beats on the swelling crowd. Then at 11pm Amber Ojeda and her band took to the stage for their soul/hip-hop/jazz blend. The heads were nodding in approval throughout her set!
Check out Amber Ojeda
Then Jimi James took the stage with her incredible showmanship and skills on the mic. She was carried onto the stage like a mannequin before unleashing her high energy performance that spanned hip-hop, soul, and progressive electro soul. This is what Nu-Soul and Strictly Social is all about! Eclectic soul fusion at its finest!!!
Check out Jimi James
Nu-Soul would like to thank everyone who took part in this event to make it a success: The core team of Nu-Soul, Soul Union, and Elemental Consulting; Fusicology.com; Going.com, Jimi James and Van Johnson; Amber Ojeda and her management; The Crockett Gallery, HEAVy, and BBE; DJ Moonbaby; Kawai Matthews; London Underground for supporting our artists; Social Butterfly; and to everyone who came out to show support for this growing movement.
