It’s been a long time coming, but from time-to-time I will share with you news on forthcoming releases that come my way. There’s no way that I’m going to have the time to share with you every good release out there, but when time fits I shall give you info on the ones that you might wish to check out.

“Southern Soul” is the title track to a new EP coming on the excellent Buzzin’ Fly Records outta London. Glimpse is one Chris Spero (Planet E), teaming with Martin Eyerer (Kling Klong). Remixes come from label mate Jay Shepherd (an epic, 10-minute piece) and Stephen Hinz.

The EP will be out this month on the label.

Keep watch on news of other forthcoming music, right here!

TRACKLISTING:

Some setbacks with station equipment are doing it to me again, so no show this week. Hope to have another for you next week.

If you using the Macintosh, particular those with the Dashboard, then I have a widget for you. Yes, it’s a widget for the radioshow. It’s nice and simple. You won’t have to open up iTunes every time you want to hear the show, and you can have an episode played in the background without cluttering your Mac Desktop or Dock. You can play the most recent shows, and even subscribe to the podcast if you’re not a subscriber already.

Download the widget here. Enjoy it, and let me know if you like it.

Talk to you next week! Peace.

Greetings to All:
I just wanted to send out a little notice that after sitting on it for months and months, the radioshow’s Facebook fan page is now live.

This means that Facebook users can stay on top of what’s happening with the show. About the same time that the playlist is posted, you’ll be notified of this, and can view it on the page. You can also listen to the most recent podcast, view select videos from artists in our special music scene, and more.

Do yourself a favor and be counted as a fan. It’s just another way of keeping you in the know with the music and the show.

Spread the word, and thanks for reading!

Greetings Folks:
If you are awaiting last Thursday’s show, it’ll be arriving a little late. Look for it sometime this week.

There are a number of things that I wish to catch up on, plus I’m in need of some quality Velanche time. To that end, the Urban Landscapes Radioshow will take a break from now until September.

There will still be some postings on the site during the show’s hiatus, so stay tuned.

Feel free to hit me up for whatever your needs are, and keep in touch!

Peace.

Back atcha next week with Part Two of the 2008 Halfway Rewind Special, focusing on the singles and EP’s. It’ll be another three-hour shindig, so get ready!

See you then…peace.

This is the bulk of an email that legendary DJ and tastemaker DJ Cosmo has sent out last week. Vinylheads rejoice!

Dear Friends,
We are ecstatic to give birth to The Loft’s very first official record label:
The Loft Audiophile LIbrary of Music.

Our objective is to re-issue selected master recordings, and release them in the highest audiophile quality vinyl recording 12-inch singles on 180 gram vinyl and 45 rpm. Mastering will be handled by the legendary audiophile engineer Stan Rickman who did the mastering of Pink Floyd’s “Dark Side of the Moon” amongst many other great recordings.

In times of audio quality compromise due to new technological advancement (i.e. digital convenience) that is ultimately decreasing the value of music in general (i.e. standardisation of the mp3 format), we believe this concept is a solution to our striving passion for music appreciation, quality and the preservation thereof which ultimately gives a choice to the global music fans of today.

Our mission statement is “To share authentic musical information (musical recordings, energy, history, messages, visions, emotions, expressions, creativity and artistic integrity) through quality playback.”

The first release is “My Favourite Things”, the Studio Version by Alfredo de la Fe and the Live Version by The Latin Percussion Jazz Ensemble. It sounds absolutely amazing!

If you’re unable to make the parties but are itching in buying some wax, get in touch and I’ll pass the info on to her.

She’s also on Myspace, as well.

Peace.
