Artist in Focus: Gordon Voidwell – Savior of Sound (MalcolmXXXMcLaren Mixtape Download) (MP3)


As with many conversations amongst music aficionados, there is always a point when people ask (or argue) who the “next <insert beloved musical performer/act here>” is.  In the case of a recent conversation exploring who the next person to follow in the eclectic personification that exists in the auteur known as Prince would be, names like the Weeknd and the Dream often permeate the standing arguments of whoever is typically involved.  Allow me to insert another name to that argument — Gordon Voidwell.

Hypnotic Brass Ensemble “Bulletproof Brass” EP Preview

Hypnotic Brass Ensemble proudly present their new release titled “Bulletproof Brass,” a 6 song mini album showcasing this family band’s unrivaled musicianship and universal appeal.

Spring 2011 saw the group reform (like Voltron) in their native Chicago to record a selection of many new songs they have written over the past few years touring and recording.

Bonafide, raw, and unadulterated; HBE’s music grips the listener and brings them on a trip to another world teaching the true value and meaning of music.
