REVIEW: INCOGNITO – TRANSATLANTIC RPM
Incognito: Transatlantic RPM
Album Review by Daryle Lockhart
Incognito continues to let fads pass them by and stay focused on good, solid, jazzy soul music, and good songwriting. That’s what’s made them one of the best bands to catch on tour. Another thing that makes Incognito special is Bluey’s ability to keep great vocalists and excellent [...]
Mobile Soul 158
The latest mix session is actually a part 2 to 157. Together, the “Night Club Time Machine” sessions bring back a style I haven’t used in a while. Summer mix sessions are my favorite!

Looking Back Toward The Future: MJ Cole – Wondering Why (ft. Vula)

Looking back to the future: Kenna
For two years there’s been a CD in my car. I have an old school Alpine system with a 6 CD changer, but because I switch between Zunes and iPods/iPhones, I rarely change the CDs. The CD I came across while changing discs today is Kenna’s “Make Sure They See My Face“. I played it [...]
Yui – Gloria
Working on a project this month that has me watching a lot of korean and japanese dramas. stumbled upon this video today and liked its cinematic over-the-top-ness. It’s not as clever as the Lenny Kravitz remix I posted a while back, but it’s indicative of the kind of work I’ll be [...]
Noisettes – “Every Now And Then”
As anyone who has shared a car or office space with me over the past 2 years can tell you – I love Noisettes. Can’t find anything wrong with them. They have not had a recording session I did not think was flawless, and they have survived the test of having their music being in [...]
Anti-Pop Consortium and Roots Manuva: “NY To Tokyo”
Half of Anti-Pop are friends of mine from high school, so I was gonna be biased anyway, but 4 albums later, I still love these guys. This track was one of many that got me over some drama in an airport recently as I was connecting planes. Maybe it’ll do the same for one of [...]
The new wave revolution is in full effect!
When I reviewed Kenna’s album I reviewed it on the merits of being a new wave record, the one that the Neptunes had been trying to make for years. I also went on about how a lot of artists folks respect are closet new wave heads and know some pretty [...]
The Cry Of Jazz
Working on something for next year and stumbled upon an interview with Edward Bland. Can you imagine?
Edward Bland did arguably THE Black independent film of the 50’s, an indie joint called “The Cry Of Jazz” which featured exclusive footage of Sun Ra and His Arkestra. It was released in 1959.
The opening Q&A [...]
