With her light, airy vocals, Bronx-born Cory Daye helped to transform Dr. Buzzard's Original Savannah Band into one of the most exciting bands of the late-'70s disco era. Creating some of the earliest disco recordings, Daye and Dr. Buzzard's Original Savannah Band skillfully mixed big band, swing, jump blues, Broadway tunes, and Caribbean influences into their infectious dance music.
Leaving Dr. Buzzard's Original Savannah Band to pursue a solo career, Daye found immediate success. Fueled by a double-sided 12" hit single, "Green Light" and "Pow Wow," her debut solo album, Cory and Me, attained gold status.
Set back by the collapse of disco, Daye joined Kid Creole & the Coconuts in the early '80s, singing on their 1982 album, Tropical Gangsters, and appearing as a guest vocalist on their 1995 album, To Travel Sideways.
Resuming her solo career, Daye recorded a pair of 12" singles, "City Nights" b/w "Manhattan Cafes" in 1986 and "Middle of the Night in 1987. Since the early 2000s, she has worked with writer/producer Coati Mundi. ~ Craig Harris, Rovi
Cool band out of New York City incorporating dancy synth arrangements and lush vocals. Lead singer Penelope Trappes, Stephen Hindman, with drummer Lisa compose the band. Make sure to check out their new album Voluspa, named after a Nordic poem that relates to the creation of the world and it's coming end.
Chang Bang presents his tribute to international Record Store Day which takes place on April 17th all over the world's record's stores to celebrate the sweet 12"s of Black Wax! Since he hails from Tampa Bay at the moment and the record stores left in the area focus more on rock, indie, pop, jam band, jazz, hip hop, and dollar bin classics. Chang decided to do his own tribute from his own record collection of disco, 80s electro new wave, hip hop, freestyle, classic house, and new edits. Besides he feels record day would be best on 4.20 and not on 4.17 of all days?? We used to and still some of us do tha 420 everytime the black wax hits the groove! So here's to all the ladies that prefer 12"s!
My real good friends from Jamaica Rootz Underground are part of a new mixtape that has been slamming the irie culture & meditations recently! From beginning to end this mixtape has a very positive & conscious message to all those working in Babylon dreaming of Zion's rise. Lots of nice drops and DJ shoutouts throughout the mixtape from many top artists out of Jamaica in the reggae, dancehall, and roots styles. Bless, and download this & puff to the Most High!
Rootz would also like to offer our heartfelt condolences to the family of Sugar Minott, we grieve with you as we adjust to his physical absence. Music however will live on forever!
The immortal Stone Love and selector Rory, forged a reputation during the 80's and 90's in the inner city communties of Kingston Jamaica. A living legend within the soundsystem movement, Stone Love rose to the top by promoting reggae dancehall culture, Jamaica, Rastafari, and the movement to legalise marijuana. The name Stone Love came to embody the spirit of generations of reggae lovers. Many "soundboys" have "perished” at the hands of the soundsystem in now legendary soundclashes.
It was the custom in the impoverished garrison communities of Kingston for benevolent community leaders otherwise known as "Dons" (robin hood type figures to some, organised crime bosses to others) to host free weekly street dances for the people of the community. These "Dons" would provide the essential ingredient, the music, which included the soundsystem, the selector, and a wall of speakers towering above the revelers who, for a moment, could escape the harsh socio-economic and political situation and simply enjoy a night of feel good reggae music.
Many of the singers of the day would pass through the dance and show their respect for the Don and the community by toasting on the microphone and creating lyrics on the fly that were both poignant and profound.
Roots Organics, Rootz Underground, and Selecta Rory of the Stonelove Movement have created “Culture Mix 2010” to recapture the essence of the dancehall .... We invite u to light up your spliff, or just simply come with good vibes and be a part of this legendary era of reggae culture
Always remember – “Music is farming!”
