MUHSINAH

Having landed on the musical radar like some kind of a phantom battleship, this Washington D.C. native continues to fire away at us, sinking nay-sayers and making a name for herself at a rate which some might consider alarming. Appearing on exceptional releases by The Foreign Exchange, Common, Eric Lau, and Exile, Muhsinah has earned each and every title that’s been thrown her way- engineer/producer/composer/singer/songwriter/arranger/inspiration and the like. Get ready for the much anticipated Strictly Social debut of one of future soul’s elite.

GRILLADE feat The Park, Ragen Fykes, Keelay

Borrowing their name from the traditional Creole dish made of meat braised in a rich sauce with vegetables, Grillade (pronounced “gree-YAHD”) too is hearty and filling. Fronted by vocalist Ragen Fykes, the band is as many parts Betty Davis and Nancy Sinatra as it is Cream and Jefferson Airplane. Producer, keyboardist and percussionist, Keelay offers up: “We’re musicians – artists. Grillade is a band that was born in an era where bedroom producers, singers and rappers are a dime a dozen. But we are playing the gigs, we are spending the time in the studio, we are crafting a brand new sound”.
