Columbia Nights - My Groove (feat. SassyBlack of THEESatisfaction)
Washed in an air of confident ease, @ColumbiaNights‘ new single “My Groove” is proof of the guaranteed great things that come to those who wait. A low-rpm R&B kaleidoscope of popping handclaps, airy chords and live bass, the track was composed by the D.C. area production crew-turned-band over the course of three years with the help of @THEESatisfaction.
“This tune was an early experiment,” keyboardist Hayling Price told Okayplayer, “and after we’d been building with [THEESatisfaciton members] Cat and Stas for a while, we shared a few ideas we’d been working on. Cat [aka SassyBlack] loved this and ended up writing to it during a writing retreat she was on. So the instrumental itself has evolved over the last couple years on and off, and we finally landed in an interesting place. We recorded this over time across our 3 home setups in DC.”
To spend three years on three and a half minutes may strike some as arduous, but “My Groove” benefits from Columbia Nights’ keen feel for rhythm and tone. The spacious approach that’s regularly heard on THEESatisfaction’s work is also clearly at work, seeping into small moments like its lush bridge and extended epilogue. “The theme is really about being balanced and confident in your own ‘groove,’ and staying rooted in that no matter world throws at you,” Hayling explained.
Columbia Nights plans to release a full-length LP before the year is out, but the word is “My Groove” won’t be found on that final tracklist. Rather than keep it in their personal archives, Hayling and co. chose to release it for the world to enjoy (a free download link is included on its Soundcloud page). The trio will support the ladies of THEESatisfaction at their upcoming album release show for EarthEE, their upcoming album on Subpop records. Expect to hear plenty more about that collaboration, as well as more as their own LP draws near. - WWW.OKAYPLAYER.COM

#BlackLivesMatter
I've been really going through a range of emotions with the recent events that have been highlighted in the news lately. Sad, fearful, disappointed, angry, powerless and powerful to name a few. Unfortunately, these incidents have been happening for years and continue to happen but the Michael Brown and Eric Garner cases have just been ones highlighted more in the media. To be honest, being a black man and a recent father I wonder what type of society has my son been brought into. Thankfully, I have seen glimmers of hope via organizing, protest, honest dialogue, compassion and rejuvenation in our society. I hope we as a society can individually and collectively continue the path of change not just for the future generations but for our present lives.
Thank you for reading.

Base FM Auckland 107.3FM Tune of the Week: Dali
TURN IT UP: LOCAL TUNE OF THE WEEK
DALI ‘The Sound’
Dali is a new international collaboration between vocalist Lisa Preston(Wellington, NZ) and beatmaker Lil’dave (Philadelphia, US). They’ve just dropped an EP on Record Breakin.
Lisa Preston (aka LP) hails from New Zealand and is part of the extended Record Breakin’ family, through her collaborations with Sir Froderick and Dotmatic. She first came to the attention of Record Breakin through her collaboration with UK producer K15 and the release of their ep “A New Path”.
Known for her lush harmonies and love of layers, she has joined forces with producers from New Zealand and abroad to create a variety of timeless blends, each one laced with her unique style of soul. She has worked with producers K15, Jellphonic, Bluevibe Studio, Cy Tru, Weedy (40 Winks) , Onur Engin, Lord Jackson, Wehkah, Nigel One & Indigo Pyramid, ClassicBeatz, Benny Tones, Dotmatic, Sir Froderick and Paddy Fred, and has featured on tracks released through much respected labels Record Breakin’ Philadelphia, Wonderful Noise Japan, Tokyo Dawn Germany, 4Lux Netherlands, BBE UK and Laidback Belgium.
Lil’dave is a Philadelphia-based audio tastemaker who has made a name for himself by exposing people to soulful music in all it’s forms. As a DJ, he can easily whip the most mainstream crowd into a frenzy, but he is at his best when he digs deep into his crates for funky grooves, broken boogie, and thumping bass.
When it comes to making music, lil’dave’s productions draw from his hiphop roots, as well as his love of house, afrobeat, uk garage, salsa, jazz, synthesizers, and soul. He has released music as lil’dave, Illvibe Collective, and under his electronic alias, Osage, for record labels such as Record Breakin’ Music, Soulspazm, BBE Records, Young Robots, Bastard Jazz, Luvbug, Exadoria and Swedish Brandy.
In his relationship with the Record Breakin’ Music label he wears many hats, such as recording artist, remixer, artist development advisor, and graphic designer. He has worked with and remixed a diverse range of artists such as Selah Sue, J Cole, RJD2’s Icebird project, Lady Alma Ryat, Apt One, Joy Jones, Captain Planet, John Robinson, Foremost Poets, Laura Mvula, and more.

The artists featured on this mix are people I consider family. They're artists I will rep regardless of how much/little hype they have or which label they record for. Over the past few years many of them have also become my personal friends.
I'm immensely proud of the creative family that surrounds me: I hope this mix reflects that and puts you onto some folks you've been sleeping on!
