Tony Lionni | Do You Believe ft. Maria Marcial

“ hey you – you must feel something now “

Tony Lionni delivers a soulful house single featuring the magical silky vocals of Maria Marcial and remixes from Francois Dubois and Martin Patino – out May 11th on Madhouse .

“Do You Believe” is dreamy – it’s carried along by a crispy rolling 909 shuffle, soft Fender Rhodes chords, and a fat rubbery analog synth bass line.

Moodymann | Moodymann LP

Kenny Dixon Jr. ‘s latest LP is a treasure trove of funky soulful sample-based music and cheeky interludes inspired by Detroit.

Starlite (prod. by AstroLogical) | Phirefly

tell me about your dreams – i wanna know

Although I have been neglecting to share much hip-hop on Low-Life for the last little while–(only because I’ve been consumed by dance music)–since I’ve been rinsing this new joint from Phirefly and the chorus is still looping in my mind, I decided it deserves to be shared with you.

The production brings together a handful of talented individuals that are connected by the common thread of the city of Vancouver: Nate Drobner, a.k.a. AstroLogical, lays down the funk; Claire Mortifee delivers an undeniably alluring radiant vocal performance; and Ray Black offers up some words of wisdom.

Cop the free download if you’re feelin’ it–

Nick Wisdom | Beam Me Up \ Snoopin’

avatars-000051584497-meeosr-t500x500

artworks-000063775843-mqtq5f-t500x500 (1)

On his latest release for Vancouver’s ASL Singles Club , Nick Wisdom brings his signature funky soulful silky-smooth pyschedelic west-coast hip-hop sensibilities into the four-to-the-floor domain. If I was forced to draw comparisons, I would say Wisdom’s latest cuts remind me in certain ways of some of Kaytranada ‘s or Fly Lo ‘s shuffly neck-spraining hybrid hip-hop disco jams.

“Snoopin’ pt 2″, a collaboration with homie beatmaker/visual artist/ Jellyfish Recs boss Eli Muro , surfaced shortly after the ASL release…

Upon first listen through, “Beam Me Up” jumps out as personal favourite of mine. I reckon it would bang in the club.

Cop the free downloads, if you’re vibing…

And here is the video for “Snoopin’ pt 2″, which is ridiculous…

“Back 2 U” is the bastard child of 8prn and PIZZASLIME …

The duo layers warm bass stabs, barely decipherable chopped & re-pitched vocal snippets drenched in verb’ and a mental squiggly lead-synth riff over top a pulsing four-to-the-floor groove…
