Last night, we hosted a small listening party for our staff and a couple of our artists to demo and check out the upcoming 10-track LP from Breeze entitled “Rise“. Scheduled for release on Harlem Station Recordings on September 16th 2008, this compilation floored everyone in attendance. Let me repeat it again: We were all floored.

The depth, the story, the eclectic productions, the diverse featured artists and prducers, Breeze’s vocals, raps and even cough, all come together to create this gumbo, this “sauce picante” that takes the listener through an odissey of sounds and musical experiences and never lets go until the very last breath.

Tracks with titles like “In the Beginning”, “Desobey”, “Beast” and “Don’t Wanna Lose You” set the first half of the LP in a bouncy, evolving and groovy tone. With a quick sonic interlude that litterally props you up, the second half of the LP shoots straight up in beats, tribalism, groove and dance factor with such tracks as “The Future”, “Slutty Pooh”, “Afro Boogie” and more, just to name a few. This journey never lets go of its grip on your music senses and delivers a well rounded, solidly anchored and well rounded LP.

It became difficult during the recording of this LP to decide which of the tracks would get the single and remix treatment. After the listening party last night, we are no closer to a decision because all the tracks are phenomenally strong on their own and could easily be the source of many diverse remix packs.  One thing is for sure, there WILL be remixes, both on Harlem Station Recordings and our sister label Decibel NYC Recordings.

Stay tuned for the release of the promos for this LP as well as exclusive release dates with some of our disctributors. For more information, visit our website.

Breeze  - In the Beginning (Remixes)

With the success of his debut single “In the beginning”, Breeze has been making some noise on the circuit. Well the summer’s hot and we want to heat it up even more. We bring this monster back to the limelight again. And this time we feature a set of 3 flipped mixes.

The honors on this release belong to DJ Michael Hades. Becoming known for his fabulous loft parties in the heart of NYC, amongst his many other party credits, this dj/producer’s name is steadily rising. With a flare for that old school new York bump, his is the sound that made this city famous. Now he’s taking it back.

Always rich in organic elements and structure, these remixes are nothing short of breathtaking. Mixed with Breeze’s vocal it definitely gets kicked up a notch. And with this summer burnin’ hot, why not include a body and soul styled track to make the kids reach way back and stomp it out even harder, whether on the beach or the floor. Everyone New York City is on fire once again.

You can find this single as an exclusive promo at traxsource.com until it’s worldwide release on 8/12/08!
