Making serious waves on the international music scene since 2006, Names You Can Trust a.k.a. NYC Trustis back at it releasing a full remix project. With collaborations from TM Juke, The Fulanos Band and DJ DRM of Bastard Jazz, the remixes are set to rock dancefloors worldwide. Tru Thoughts artist, TM Juke, dude who has previously teamed up with Alice Russell and then some has reworked the cumbia classic “Tabaco Y Ron” which you can download free below (click on down arrow :) ).
Good gawd! Alice Russell continues to blow me away. This video nearly made me shed a tear (seriously). Watch this video captured by Sef Diggy at Yoshi’s San Francisco last week of Alice performing her hit “Tired Little One” off Under The Munka Moon (2004). Ben Schwier on piano & Steve Wyreman on guitar. Amazing. -jm
An angel came down from heaven when we found out that two of our favorite artists of ALL TIME are joining forces to release an album next year! Quantic, the dynamic producer and live performer who’s been putting out amazingly unique and groundbreaking music for 10+ years under his own name, with his Combo Barbaro, Soul Orchestra and Flowering Inferno is back with yet another splendid project teaming up with none other than epic vocalist Alice Russell. One of the most soulful and tuned-in singers and performers of this decade, Alice couldn’t have been a better match for the ultimate collaboration album which will be titled Look Around the Corner. The album will be released in April of 2012 and will be available on CD, vinyl (yippie!) as well as digitally.
Previously, Alice and Quantic have worked together putting out tunes under the Quantic Soul Orchestra moniker as well as several other fantastic contributions worldwide.
Here are some reminders of where Quantic stems from, where Alice is coming from and where they’ve already gone together. Additionally, click here to visit Tru Thoughts’ Soundcloud for a little snippet from Look Around The Corner.
Quantic Presenta The Flowering Inferno - “Dub Del Pacifico”, Death Of The Revolution, 2010

Quantic Soul Orchestra w/ Alice Russell - “Pushin On”, Pushin’ On, 2005

Quantic and Alice Russell are just about the best combo EVER and to put the cherry on top of an already amazing [Look Around The Corner] project - we have an acoustic version of “I’d Cry” to add to the list of gloriousness. Filmed by the super talented B+ of Mochilla in one take, enjoy this goosebump-worthy video.
