Bamalovesoul Presents on Deck 2 - Various Artists | Electronic Dance Music Compilation | Perfect for DJ Sets, Parties & Nightclubs

: Around the locals sweet home of Birmingham/Alabama, if they weren t belting out Lynyrd Skynyrd, the mainstream radio stations would repeat the latest HOT 100 zingers off the R&B conveyer-belt, much like the rest of the US. That is until visionary tastemaker Roderick Moody - aka DJ Rahdu - brought his hit Diamond Soul Xxxperience Show to the Bama airwaves. For 2 hours out of 24, 1 day out of 7, they d play nothing but soulful music. Soul was the link, even if it had a hip hop, house, Caribbean or jazzy vibe to it, it had to be soulful. The only no-show was R&B ... you could hear that after we were done. Explains Rahdu - who was able to bottle his on-air success, taking it first to the streets via open mic events, before launching his BamaLoveSoul.com website to over a million black alternative music fans across the free world. Then in 2012, the commercially released and critically acclaimed BamaLoveSoul Presents On Deck , would go on to fly off the shelves of record store Dusty Groove as they say in Birmingham - faster than a hound sucks an egg. For On Deck 2, wading through a wealth of new material submitted specifically for his new project, Rahdu selected twelve brand new tracks, created by tomorrow s found generation. Beginning with the jazzy keys of Rippy Austin s Fallen , Rahdu describes the intro As a walk through the pearly gates of heaven before Joomanji follows up with Intoxicated which slaps you right in the face . Every lick sounding fresh, as the selection expertly ebbs & flows. Stephanie Nicole s spaced out funk Diligence paves the way for the ethereal beauty of James Tillman s voice on Shangri La . The artists, were handpicked, given 6 months to prepare their submissions and were all keen to put their best foot forward. Jevon Reynolds had the damnedest time coming up with his track before emailing Rahdu with the words I had a breakthrough the Midnight Mix of Silence left Rahdu, when asked to comment, ironically speechless.
