"Bread Of Heaven" its fifth release is a co-production of Nikos,
Under My Skin Records principal producer and spiritual head with platinum
R&B gospel Singer/songwriter Tracy Carter. The lyrics wonderfully
written and expressed with the beauty within Tracy Carter's voice blossoms
as a relational commune with God. Nikos has put down a deep, minimal vibe
that is helps serve the message. The result is like a prayer, mellodic
and tranquil, it slowly develops strength and does so in an loving way.
Next in order, the remix produced by one of San Francisco's best, David
Harness and engineered by Grammy Nominee Chris Lum is not less of a classic
garage rendition of the original and was done for the dancefloor. Lastly"Pure
Dub", a classic gospel B3 organ grinder with Tracy on keys exercising
the spirit with love.
"Let It Show" - Nikos is back again with a beautiful gospel
house blessing, a remarkable co-production. Rising to the top, singer/songwriter
Sonja Moore & Guitar master D. Crooks are the ingredients that are
complimenting in this new fantastic E.P. Sonja renders an uplifting gospel
vocal message with a flavour likened to Mary Mary and Yolanda. Don't ignore
this one. It is a hot fresh new GHM track, not suprising these songs are
creating an interest in New York City!
"Never Give Up" has an uplifting, positive vibe that is soulful
deep, spiritual moving and lyrics breath life to every all who listen.
Hymn lays down a blazing vocal production and Nikos brings a snazzy, electric
groove that is the reputable sound of Under My Skin. Nikos talks about
the collaboration: I think Hymn is writing songs that matter. Blending
their street sensibilities with a spiritual outlook on life its where
urban music should be. Enjoy some gifted performers singing it from the
heart!"
"Your Love is True", "Jubilee Funk" - This is a hot
collaberation of Under My Skin's owner/producer/DJ Nikos and LA's very
own DJ Lamech. The output is some very unique tracks starting with th
joyful praise of "Jubilee Funk" to the gospel-bluesy vibe of
"Nu Spirituals", and progressive undertones. This effort is
a salute to the Negro Spirituals as a eternal expression that is today
as current as ever. Our mission was to communicate that same Spirit of
hope, humanity and deep faith through house music. Haskel Jackson and
O'Nita Hutton on vocals deliver with the quality of intensity needed and
Donald Hayes once again puts a little bit of soul on soprano sax. This
is a release that digs deep and uplifts a strong message to the dance
scene.
Yes Lord "Dancer's Prayer" - Under My Skin Records is proud
to introduce the exquisite Mr. Kurt Lykes to house music lovers around
the world. Kurt is already the up and coming sensation around the churches
of metropolitan Los Angeles. He is a fierce live performer and a true
worshipper of God who moves audiences literally to their knees. Side A
features the original vocal mix and a sax / preacher combination dub purely
for the dancefloor by Under My Skin in-house producer Nikos. Track 3 is
devoted entirely to Boo Williams & Glenn Underground's utterly soulful
& jazzy ten minute rendition of the song.
"Supernatural Healing" - This one Nikos & Sache are together
with Nita Hutton on vocals and Donald Hayes on alto sax. Nita is a real
rising star. This beautiful woman has a vocal and style of her own. She
has the skills to do every style from jazz and R&B to regular gospel
and house with straight brilliance and passion. She is an energetic live
on stage, both strong and sensual. Nita has recorded as a vocalist for
such greats as Johnny Mathis, Melissa Manchester and Carole King. Donald
Hayes is widely considered one of the top sax players of his generation.
Featured on over sixty albums, he has recorded with Sheila E, The Temptations,
Kirk Franklin, Yolanda Adams and Eric Benet among others. His latest credits
include Brandy's 2002 album, Fullmoon, and a guest appearance with Stevie
Wonder.
"Speaking in Tounges" - One more time Under My Skin Records
owner/producer/DJ Nikos assembles a top shelf team to create his 6th release
"Speaking in Tongues". Nita Hutton has a beautiful and one of
a kind voice. Donald Hayes is widely considered the most gifted sax player
in Gospel Music today. Organ man, Tony "Sache" Wilkins is one
of the most sought after musicians in the Los Angeles Gospel Community.
And new arrival with Under My Skin's ever expanding musical family, Mark
"Shabba Led" Ledford, is a singer, trumpet and guitar player,
arranger, and comedian with super talent and tons of energy. Under My
Skin continues a ritual of organizing together the best talents from Jazz,
R&B, and Gospel to do House Music. In the end is a fresh and blessed
with everybody expressing amazing performances. Enjoy some of the most
wonderful musicians in the US making things up in a House Music scene
that is in search of its original spirit.
"Now I Can See" - There are few artists whose spiritual life
is as defining to their artistic pursuits as with Kenny Bobien. Singer,
songwriter, performer, but above all, a profound believer and Preacher,
Kenny always creates music that is both inspiring and uncompromising "Now
I Can See" is the testimony of a man who has been delivered from
bondage. In the midst of newfound freedom, he offers praise and thanksgiving
to God and acknowledges Him as the source of his liberation. Kenny went
in the studio in LA with DJ/Producer Nikos and produced a spirit lead
performance with vocals that convicted. In a change from his well known
falsetto style, Kenny sang "Now I Can See" with his natural
voice sounding as smooth and polished as ever. Nikos created a solid funky
house groove with bumping bass, kickin percussion and a somewhat mellow
conservative dance groove that allows the listener to focus on the Word.
On the flip side, Nikos' "deep prayer mix" is a groovy late
night production of the original followed by a deep, progressive remix
from the well know DJ/Producer from Chicago Roy Davis Jr.
