Mouth’s Cradle – Front Porch

From the intro alone, you’re instantly grabbed and then slowly pushed along a whimsical “old-tyme” voyage, which is lead by a broken piano and radio filtered vocals.   I love it!   For fans of Dan Black and Esser, this is a must hear.

Mouth’s Cradle – Front Porch

Bio:

Mouth’s Cradle is making waves; seamlessly combining pop and hip-hop into a unique blend. But their mix is not an acquired taste. The duo, both who are students attending Syracuse University, is currently featured on the iTunes Store’s “New and Noteworthy” as well as Pop page. Mouth’s Cradle is undoubtedly on its way to emerging as a leader in the new class of college artists, who create buzz for themselves while sitting through lectures. If you can imagine the musical equivalent of a sugar-rush, you can probably get a solid picture of Mouth’s Cradle

You can pick up their album on iTunes:

Phillip Martell – Embers (ft. Wale)

Loving this remix which takes Just Jack’s, “Embers” and cuts and sliced it with Wale’s voice over the top of it.  Simply  brilliant!   Watch out for a sick build around the 2:35 mark.  Be sure to swing by Phillip’s soundcloud page and drop some love.

Bio from Phillip Martell:

I’m from Detroit but moved to Atlanta for university.  Growing up I really enjoyed listening to heartland rock by guys like Bruce Springsteen, John Mellencamp, and Bob Segar, but when I hit high school I met a bunch of italian kids that turned me onto dance music.  I’ve always liked music that put emphasis on melody, whether it was Mark Knopfler’s guitar work in DIre Straits or Above & Beyond’s lead key lines in “Air For Life.”  For Ember’s, I thought Just Jack lead violin hook was incredibley melodic and it could serve as a great beat for someone to rap over.  So i chopped up the song, added vocals, drums, and a whole bunch of other stuff.  To make sure I kept to my dance roots, I also added my own electro-house break down at the end so I could get bodies banging on the dancefloor.
