Ubiquity

Radio Citizen

Label: Ubiquity
Genre: Electronic, Hip Hop, Other

Radio Citizen updates the big band concept for the hip hop generation. To be more precise, Radio Citizen is Niko Schabel, a one-man big band really, with a cast of players, including Indian-born vocalist Bajka. "The Hop's" bluesy beats, grinding organ riffs, and seductively soulful vocals resurrect trip hop's potential and tap hip hop's power and promise—the ability to combine genres and moods to create a new work of art. Radio Citizen's source genres are a potpourri of sixties jazz, funk 45s, soul, dub and reggae, afrobeat, electronica, trippy avantgarde, surf, Latin, boogaloo, and rocksteady just to name a few. Get in on this track now for an injection of soul into your usual, soul-sucking Monday.

Nino Moschella

Label: Ubiquity
Genre: Other, Pop

Next up, Nino Moschella. More low-key than Bing Ji Ling, but all up in your groove nonetheless. Moschella offers up a smooth blend of electronic and acoustic elements while channeling the raw, gritty funkmasters of the '60s. He keeps the instrumentation minimal which leaves more room for the soul, baby. The Fix, his debut album, is out next week on Ubiquity.
