House Podcasts You Need to Be Rocking To

 

In the absence of the official Mixtape Roundup (I swear it's coming back, ya'll) and in celebration of our light House Music Week that sort of coincides with The Winter Music Conference, I've decided to put together a list of Soulful House podcasts that you need to be subscribing to at this very moment. These podcasts are chiefly how I keep up with House music, since the genre itself is so dense and is associated with so few broadly recognizable names. I now extend the wealth to you, the SoulBounce Reader.

• That Soulful Show [site] [itunes]
• Traxsource Weekly Essentials [site] [itunes]
• Energy Soul Sessions [site]
• Deeper Soul [site]
• CasaMena Radio Hour [site] [itunes]
• Undah Dub [site] [itunes]
• Handz On Radio [site] [itunes]
  

If I'm missing anyone, drop a comment and I'll add it to the list post-haste.

Tanya Morgan And DJ Soul Are In The Mix

 

Our bad for taking so long to write about the new mixtape from Tanya Morgan and DJ Soul, but we've been too busy jammin' to it here at SBHQ. Tanya Morgan is a Rap Group features Donwill, Ilyas and Von Pea and a rack of guest rappers and producers, including Kay of the Foundation, Naledge from Kidz in the Hall, Median, 88 Keys and Khrysis to name a few. After blessing us with the brilliant DJ Soul and Okayplayer present Assorted Donuts J Dilla mixtape last year, DJ Soul has banged out another must-have.

Download the mixtape here and enjoy one of my TM faves below. Tracklist after the bounce.

Tanya Morgan: "Walk My Way (Dream On)"

A Little Romance For You and Your Valentine

 

Here's an idea. Let's say you had absolutely nothing planned for your ladylove or your main man because you just realized that Thursday is Valentine's Day. So perhaps you buy a bouquet, toss a roast in the oven and chill the VSOP in time for your better half to get home. But one thing's missing. The tunes! What do you do?

This is where I come in.

A couple of years ago, Your SoulBounce Founder and Managing Editor put together two definitive slow jam tapes. One is all about the romance, a post-New Jack compilation if you will. The other is for when it's time to get down, without the sleaze. The two blends feature Maxwell, D'Angelo, Faith Evans, Carl Thomas, Aaliyah, Tweet, SWV, Janet Jackson and Tank. Tracklists and downloads after the bounce.

So What Was Von Pea Thinking with 'American Angster'?

 

We haven't talked anything Hova-related here in a while, mainly because I placed an embargo on all American Gangster coverage in order to re-focus on our soul vocalists. But when we received Von Pea's American Angster remix album in our inbox, I just couldn't resist.

The American Gangster Acapellas dropped December 4th, Jay-Z's born-day, and DJs went nuts. Kevin Nottingham has been archiving all of the different versions and cites Von Pea's as one of the best. We recently highlighted Pea's group Tanya Morgan in our video roundup and Your SoulBounce Founder is a fan of the Grand Vonye tape. Simply put, to receive American Angster via Pea's personal delivery was kinda boss.

Now let's get down to the nitty.

Rhymefest Appropriates Michael Jackson's Beats, Habit for Making Empty Promises

 

Look, we kinda dig Rhymefest. His "Angry Black Man On the Elevator" with Lil' Jon was the jumpoff. Amazingly. And, "Jeff N Fess" from Return of the Magnificent? Bad-ass!

In a couple of days he's dropping the Michael Jackson "Dedication" mixtape Man In the Mirror. [SIDEBAR: Which is worse? Looking in the mirror and seeing Michael Jackson? Or seeing Rhymefest? You only have one choice.] According to a boasting Myspace bulletin, don't go thinking he "did some cheesy sh*t; you know...just rapping over Thriller, Billie Jean, the standard classics. Oh no, my brothers and sisters: we dug in the archives for this one."

Which is exemplified in "Never Can Say Goodbye" featuring Talib Kweli, which I suppose is based on a song called "Never Can Say Goodbye," which must surely be the most obscure Michael Jackson track ever.
