STEREOLOVE Visual Recap | Tha Boogie, Musically Challenged, Just-Us
Last week was another great night at STEREOLOVE with Tha Boogie, Musically Challenged and Just-Us holding court on stage. There is a new wave of young bands on the rise creating future sound templates in conjunction with soundscapes of the past. The collective mentioned in the previous are of a new breed that’s bound to set a new tone for sounds of the future while keeping the legacy of live bands alive in a digital age. The energy was highly charged as each of the bands ripped through their tunes with confidence and great showmanship, demonstrating that they are prepared to uphold the legacy of Pop, Hip Hop , Modern Soul + R&B.

live guests:
☛ PERFECTO
[LA progressive hip hop]
http://rampartscandal.com/
This Hip Hop artist bears an energetic show with amazing showmanship (which is a lost art for many Hip Hop artists). A great combo of street wise lyrics, a concious flow and witty metaphors set this LA based artist apart from many. You might have caught him a few months ago at 5th St Housequake (Zanzibar) performing with the likes of BLU, PAC DIV and NOLA DARLING just to name a few. If you dig artists such as COMMON, TALIB KWELI and GAME..you will dig PERFECTO!!
☛ MICHELLE SHAPROW
[singer/songwriter/producer]

“Michelle is an amazing talent. I don’t know how she does it but somehow her music feels like a mixture of
1 part)..Hans Christian Anderson fairy tale, 1 part).. raw funk and
1 part)..that whimsical feeling you get when you’re dancing like you don’t care who’s watching… “
-Eric Benet
“Michelle Shaprow is all things beautiful. Her aura, presence and most of all sound make for a gift for all to share. Michelle is the truth. “

A TASTE OF CHICAGO
Delivering a 4-Hour Set is EXTRA MILD SAUCE resident
Derrick Wize
with STEREOLOVE Residents:
A-Ski | Mikecheck
A real fan of deep house music, Derrick Wize is known for combining rare dance classics with choice modern organic soul, making it very difficult to stay off the dance floor. With his roots based on the evolution of dance music, a set from Mr. Wize could encompass a range of soulful elements including Jazz, Break Beat, Disco, Deep Tracks, Funk, and more. However the common denominator in each is always the same… stylistic uplifting dance floor heaters. “The basis of Deep House wasn’t just the familiar classics we all love but it was about the DJ providing a journey and experience of celebration for the audience through their choice of neck-snapping soul music – be it familiar songs or not. It’s always a pleasure and an honor to share my interpretation.”

STEREOLOVE meets KNEEBODY | Thursday

PERFORMING LIVE!!!
KNEEBODY
http://www.kneebody.com/
“Kneebody flies above the label zone, crafting instrumental, postmodern music that jukes convention and genre. If the group’s intricate compositions had to be filed away in a record bin, chances are they would rest in the jazz corner, but the Los Angeles/NYC quintet touches on post-rock, classical, and avant-garde forms as often as they flirt with swing. Last year’s Low Electrical Worker found the band stretching out in odd meters with equally odd instruments, getting loud, having a blast – and maybe even reinventing music a little in the process”

It’s the top of August and we’ve got some loveliness in the works, kicking off this Thursday.
Our very special live guest is QUINCY MCCRARY.
www.myspace.com/qemistrysoul
Quincy, a native to Los Angeles, is in such high demand, working with other artists (Michael Jackson, George Duke, Sheila E, Patrice Rushen, Little Richard, Dolly Pardon, Harry Belafonte, John Williams, Marvin Hamlish, The Manhattan Transfer, Rose Stone, Quetzal) that he rarely does his own show. But when he does….WOW! He truly graces the stage, reminiscent of a young Stevie Wonder with the keys to please and a voice like butter on your breakfast toast. Check him out with full band @ StereoLove!
Also joining us are the 5 SIGNS dj crew (Quality Collective) throwing in some of their special sauce in the Stereo Lounge
PLUS our resident DJ’s with two rooms of stellar sounds lightin’ up the atmosphere on the 1′s & 2′s like fireflies in the southern sky:
