Special episode, Special Guest. Listening to some Texas Reggae and British HipHop. (Ft. James Edge!!) Ep. 12

Join Robby, Eric, Matt and this week, special guest James Edge of James Edge and the Mindstep!  We start this week off with Robby throwing us a curveball! Pleasantly surprised by the Reggae vibes given off on Rick Dinsmore's track "You Always Want What You Can't Have" on his album Texas Highway we attempt to dissect what makes it sound so Reggae! (1:56) Then we listen to the poppy, hip-hop London based artist Akira the Don's "Living in the Future 2," on his Album Living in the Future. (12:49) Finally, join us as James Edge takes us on a trip through his musical journey, his life, his inspirations and so much more! (22:30)

 

A little about the artist:

After moving to London and starting to gig in 2006, James Edge formed James Edge and the Mindstep to record 2010 debut album ‘In The Hills, The Cities’. The working relationships he built around this time would provide him with some dependable collaborators, including regular engineer and occasional co-producer Tom Aitkenhead. A highlight of these sessions was working with string arranger Robert Kirby (Nick Drake, Paul Weller, The Magic Numbers) on the song 'Becoming'.
