IKE

Every music lover is on a constant search for a musical conclusion, an all encompassing and every way satisfying sonic soul mate. A genre that feels like home to every mood, that does not falter in the face of trends and developments because in its body all past and future innovations are included and loved in perfect proportions. A music that seems to somehow encompass the principals and spirit of the good fight. This musical Holy Grail may be just that, since such a perfect conclusion would be impossible due to the nature of our ever changing tastes. That is not to say however that for brief week/month/year long moments we can ecstatically fool ourselves that we have found it...and in those fleeting times the blessed music passes with each bar feeling like it was meant to be.

Whats that? Do I hear the pitter patter of urban apostles wearing size eleven Air Force Ones simultaneously marching through the gates of every metropolis on earth and declaring deep house the universal sound of early morning, all evening and after hours city life? Is this the coming of the post modern musical godson, enlightened and all seeing in the knowledge of past and present musics, white and black, digital and analog?

The sounds of various artists on an ever growing and strengthening scene that takes in carefully selected aspects of techno, house, garage, disco, hip hop, soul, motortown, jazz, funk and every world music east of Grenwich, provide the soundtrack to men and women living in the dense with the weight of infinite stories streets of the 21st century.
