By DJ FusionWhat’s up Planet Ill fam!
It’s time once again for the latest Indiesent Exposure installment, Planet Ill’s weekly music column where I drop some FREE music downloads and hip you to quality independent music artists of different genres who deserve serious credit for keeping things lively and original.
Indiesent Exposure is designed to give your ears some respite from the daily audio wackness that bombards the masses through the mainstream radio’s definitions of Hip-Hop, Soul, Funk, Jazz, Rock, Reggae, House, World Music, etc.
If you like what you hear and download, PLEASE support (monetarily and otherwise) these artists as much as you can in the future – hit up their websites, purchase some product, go to their shows, etc.
This week’s Indiesent Exposure music selection puts the spotlight on a great music crew that blends Indie Rock, Electronica, Afro-Punk and World Music vibes.
Whenever you have the chance, please let all of the talented Indiesent Exposure artists and the Planet Ill crew know what you think of the music in our comments section!
Let’s get it in – download, sit back, relax & hope you enjoy the grooves:
Los Angeles, California has always had an extremely eclectic music scene due to it’s blend of different cultures, sounds and peoples.
The group Divisible solidly builds upon the D.I.Y. creative music history of the area with their own adventurous blend of Afro-Punk, Rock, Funk, World and Electronica influenced music. Consisting of core members Shola Akinshemoyin Vaughn (lead singer/vocalist) and drummer Albert Sadia (with different producers & other musicians hopping in the mix), the duo’s lush and atmospheric sounds are set to grab people’s attention, feet and head nods.
Along with the wall of well-balanced instrumentation, Divisible keeps things lively with Shola’s light, sweet-sounding vocals and thoughtful lyrics. Her style of singing reminds me of other female vocalists who rock with diverse music crews such as Massive Attack, Morcheeba and Jazznova; not overpowering, but meshing perfectly to create a particular mood to elevate the listener.
The sampler below consists of 3 mid-to-high tempo tracks from Divisible’s last 2 official EP & album releases. Depending on your crowd, these tracks would fit in well to either set off a party or wind down after the end of one.
Folks who like the new wave of alternative music that blends various Rock styles with African-based musical goodies (AfroBeat, Drum & Bass, etc.) such as TV On The Radio and Vampire Weekend or like their lounge music with a kick should fall right into having some Divisible tracks in the mix.
