The Foreign Exchange – Authenticity (Review) (Review)

Foreign Exchange

Authenticity

Released by The Foreign Exchange Music


The new FE album "Authenticity" clocks in at a polished eleven tracks, with the memorable "Everything must go” starting off with a synthesizer melody that hypnotizes from start to finish. "This city ain't the same without you" utilizes fan favorite Yazarah's vocals. MTV picking up "The Ballad of Purple St. James’”  first video for rotation is as just a much a testament to the FE+ label, as is the newest tight knit ZO!  full length. Nicolay's solo catalog continues to develop over time, and "Don't Wait" provides the proof Darrien Brockington's eventual solo album is long deserved. I have no doubt we'll see a rise in notoriety of all of the artists in the collective in the not so distant future.

I believe a proper introduction is due. Ms. Durand toured with Foreign Exchange when they fist established their live road act.  Most prominent adding a layer of heavenly on the Nicolay Shibuya CD, the intro track to the third Little Brother album, “Get Back” (Sirens),  on the Buckshot & 9th Wonder (”Go all out”) single and (man listen) from ” The Formula” their 2nd collaboration together. All though no longer involved with FE she just this holiday weekend dropped the free gem “The Doug & Patty EP” along with Vaughn Garcia.

City Lights Vol. 2: Shibuya



Somewhere in between producing for both Phonte and Big Pooh of Little Brother and doing a full album with Texas MC, Kay, the Netherlands smoothest producer Nicolay found the time to make an electro-pop record. Following up his timeless City Lights Vol. 1 and Vol. 1.5 is City Lights Vol. 2: Shibuya.

First things first, this LP has Nicolay venturing far from the soulful bounce that can be found on the first one and a half installments of the City Lights series . It's evident that along ...

Put Your Hands Up..Roll The Windows Down!

The electro production duo, Windimoto is comprised of DJ Sean Haley and Scorpeze. The two fuse sounds from their Chicago House and Detroit Techno influences into their work, respectively.

Windimoto teamed up with Holland based producer Nicolay for the remix of “Don't Let Me Leave Alone” featuring Victor St. Clair.

The track encompasses a certain smoothness with club play viability, ubiquitous to a 1970's porn soundtrack…but in a good way!
