These are all rocking my world as well.
Perry's album is really beautiful and full of ornate melodies. It gets a
lot of play in the art gallery.
I actually created this painting Sunday while listening to his album.
It's titled "Tea" http://www.citrona.net/tea.htm
Oh, thanks to those who also sent their mixes last month and still
coming in. Please keep sending them if you wish as they get played over
& over quite a bit.
We've been huge fans of both the Switchstance
(http://www.switchstancerecordings.de) and Fort Knox
(http://www.fortknoxrecordings.com) imprints long before their first
official release. Highest recommendation from us here. Dr. Rubberfunk
did a really good mix of The "Brazilian Hipster" though I tend like the
original most.
V. Glad to see the positive words on the Canton "Oracle" EP
The original songs were written & produced without the use any samples.
All live instrumentation.
Deela's remix is great. Just a note: Deela is also a Switchstance
Recordings artist.
Of course Groove Distribution brings all this fresh up-and-coming talent
too you first.
Now back to work............

np: Beanfield "Seek"
This album is still new to me but really growing on me fast.
