Old School funk with modern, prophetic insights, ‘Now Understand This’ is a must listen during these pandemic days. Cure yourself of apathy and disease and join Joel Frijters, Speck and the ccMixter community in becoming a catalyst for change.

My standard for Ed picks is (1) My head starts bobbing, (2) I get goosebumps, (3) I immediately want to hear the track again. This particular piece of pop perfection not only ticked all those boxes but reminded me that there’s a right and a wrong way to ride gain and use multiband compression.

I’d put mykle’s writing and voice along with Loveshadow’s production up against anybody on the charts. It’s that good.

Enjoy!

Hypnotic rhythms, angsty but tasty guitar, and lyrics that point, illuminate and rouse stir you with Everyone Has Gone Home. Spinningmerkaba on the mic and axe, to septahelix’s loops. Wait for the end!

Rise up with the light
Raise your melodic voice to fight
Our Voices Shall Be Heard
We will change and make things right.

mykleanthony brings a powerful mix that fits perectly with the vocals. A nice and refreshing sound all around.

Jihfa describes this song as “an aggressive electronic mix with dubstep influences”. Couldn’t have described it any better. Lights up my mood in an otherwise pretty sad time.

A beautiful arrangement and nicely done. Texasradiofish’s song has me daydreaming of a beautiful summer day in the late 70’s. Sitting down at a park, watching a softball game and listening to the AM radio. Wonderful memories.

A Beautiful relaxing track, with great production. A killer sax and a beautiful sample from Old Dog. Radioontheshelf shines on this. Well done Sir.

Against The Shadow is remixing at it’s best. Seamless supportive voicing and arrangement makes the vocal track naturally compelling. It’s a pell and production match that pulls the heartstrings.

Cathartically discharge your isolation discouragement by grooving to this brilliant remix by Loveshadow. “Just Got You” features cynical vocals from Mwic and beats from Kraftamt. Chase a sinister mood away with a good dose of dark humor wrapped in amazing music.

People who like it soft will love this track. The J.Lang mix of “Ordinary People” with Scomber on vocals is a modern ballad with just the right touch of emotion.

Kara Square is a songwriter who gets to the point.
Her creative lyric on the backing track of Duckett makes us smile in this strange time.
Thanks for this, Kara.
