Babysole...I'm Still Here.
Send For Me...
Atlantic Starr was among the top urban contemporary acts of the ’80s and fared well in the adult contemporary market as well, but their roots were ’70s soul and funk. The East Coast outfit was formed in White Plains, NY, in 1976 by three brothers: lead singer/guitarist David Lewis, lead singer/keyboardist Wayne Lewis, and trombonist/percussionist Jonathan Lewis. After the Lewis Brothers hired lead singer Sharon Bryant, trumpeter William Sudderth, saxophonist Damon Rentie (who was replaced by Koran Daniels in 1981), bassist Clifford Archer, drummer Porter Carroll, Jr., and percussionist/flutist Joseph Phillips, Atlantic Starr’s original nine-person lineup was in place. Influenced by ’70s funk/soul bands like Earth, Wind & Fire, the Commodores, New Birth, and L.T.D., Atlantic Starr started playing around the northeastern U.S. They had only been together for about two years when they signed with A&M and started working with Bobby Eli, a well-respected producer/songwriter from Philadelphia. Produced by Eli in 1978, Atlantic Starr’s self-titled debut album wasn’t a mega-platinum blockbuster but did reasonably well and contained the funk hit “Stand Up” (which made it to number 16 on Billboard’s R&B singles chart).

DJ Remedy aka John Miles
I am working on a new project called "Take Me Back". This project will involve a Deep Dub, a Deep Vocal, and a Remix by one of Milwaukee's best up and coming producers & DJ's (Details coming soooon). The vocals will be provided by talented and lovely, Rachel Paige Harrel out of Dallas, TX. I'm really excited to be working with her as her vocal touch will be proper for the vibe of the track.
The project details are still not completely finalized and I would love your feedback. However, I would not talk about the project without providing a clip for you to hear. Here's the clip of the Dub:

Calvin Harris
I have a soft spot for Calvin Harris, probably because he is a native of my small home town and also he has had such positive recognition, and high acclamation in the world of music and pop... What more can I say? He creates , transforms, produces, sings... and gets all the girls! From bedroom deejay to super trouper star shine on Calvin!
There's something strangely addictive about the riff in Calvin Harris' I'm Not Alone, so the good people on his site have created a little email alert for you. Simply download the .wav file from here and change it in your email options on whichever operating system you use.

Stories From The Heart.
One morning, after he had finished his meditation, the old man opened his eyes and saw a scorpion floating helplessly in the water. As the scorpion was washed closer to the tree, the old man quickly stretched himself out on one of the long roots that branched out into the river and reached out to rescue the drowning creature. As soon as he touched it, the scorpion stung him. Instinctively the man withdrew his hand. A minute later, after he had regained his balance, he stretched himself out again on the roots to save the scorpion. This time the scorpion stung him so badly with its poisonous tail that his hand became swollen and bloody and his face contorted with pain.
At that moment, a passerby saw the old man stretched out on the roots struggling with the scorpion and shouted: "Hey, stupid old man, what's wrong with you? Only a fool would risk his life for the sake of an ugly, evil creature. Don't you know you could kill yourself trying to save that ungrateful scorpion?"
The old man turned his head. Looking into the stranger's eyes he said calmly, "My friend, just because it is the scorpion's nature to sting, that does not change my nature to save."
