Jamie Woon - A little Electronic-soul

4:35 PM

Jamie Woon - "Night Air" from lorenzo fonda on Vimeo.



Jamie Woon is from Clapton, London, who sings a cross between electronic, R&B, and soul music. He comes from a very musically talented family, in which his mother was a backup singer for many well known artists. Woon has seen success with a few re-mixes and dubstep singles. He is signed to Polydor Records, and is now releasing his new album called "mirrorwalking" that should be out April 3rd. Jamie has been chosen as one of the hottest artists in 2011, making No. 4 in the acclaimed BBC Sound of 2011 poll. That is quite an honor for this young artist whose music is said to be similar to Andreya Triana and James Blake.

Anbuley - Afro-Electronica Vocalist

9:06 PM

Bert On Beats "Suomo" feat. Anbuley from Man Recordings on Vimeo.

This is the first song from her newly released 12" single.


This talented lady was born in Vienna, Austria to Ghanaian parents. Her parents moved there in the 60's so  her father could continue his studies. She was proudly named after her grandfather, who was the chief in Ghana. Growing up she listened to African and jazz music. Later in life, she returned to her homeland where she would pursue her music career. She has been working with dubstep producers and using her musical talents to make a type of Afro-tribal-house. She just released her 12" single entitled Tsakemo through Seayou Records. This lady's voice definitely caught my attention at first listen.
