NIKOS Band EP

As the first full week of 2015 abruptly comes to an end, I find myself earnestly working on narrowing down the emails and LinkedIn messages that I have yet to get to in 2014. One message that I had to revisit comes from a young man by the name of Jeff Motekaitis.

Jeff is the bass player in a band by the name of NIKOS. After finally getting a chance to sit down and check out their music, I was impressed. Their self-titled debut EP on soundcloud was totally worth the listen. I had it on repeat for about 3-4 cycles while cooking and eating dinner.

I’m always happy to witness the emergence of new artists and bands. I’m even more excited about the potential to work with these new artists and bands in some capacity in the near future.

I hope that you enjoy NIKOS like I do!

Calma Carmona – When I Was Your Girl

Nothing pleases us more than coming across new talent and Calma Carmona is definitely no exception! We came across her recent interview earlier this month via Afropunk.com and thought that it would be worth sharing her work and thoughts with you all…enjoy!

Maxine Ashley – Perpetual Nights

Maxine Ashley dropped this video earlier today and of course it gives off that classic Neptunes vibe that we always love to hear!

Paris Jones Feat. J. Valle – Ashley Brown

Paris Jones presents us with another dope track entitled, “Ashley Brown” which he released this video for last month. Okay, we may be a little late. However, by looking at the traction that this track has yet to gain, it appears that we are still somewhat ahead of the curve.

Some of the best music is so slept on and that’s why we want to share it with you…enjoy!
