Happy Birthday HEADZ UP!

This month we celebrate the 2nd anniversary of the monthly HeadzUp! mix sessions podcast! It’s very gratifying for me to look back and see a body of work accumulate and know that since day one it has been done with passion and love with a goal to be shared with those willing to listen.

Many thanks to Ben G and Dan23 from Strasbourg France who helped me get this project off the ground,
to all the artists out there who dedicate their time and talent to creating such great music, and most importantly, to all my listeners worldwide who tune in and spread the word on what this is about!

To celebrate this benchmark, I propose an additional hour of house music to bring this months session into darker and harder horizons with an AFTER DARK EDITION mix… So for all the house headz out there who enjoy the deepness with an afterhour vibe, this is for you!

MAKIN’ SENSE EP

MAKIN’ SENSE feat. BluRum13
Words / Vocals by BluRum13
Written / Produced / Arranged by Miles Moore

Miles had the opportunity to work with one of my favorite Mcs to develop custom vocals for some of his productions. Ninja Tune recording artist, BluRum13. A vocal acrobat who has traveled the globe spreading his signature sound and flow. Known worldwide for his hip-hop productions, Miles decided to overlay his voice onto a deep house jam, and ‘Makin’ Sense’ was born.

A track featuring some soulful organ sweeps, lush keys and a steady rhythm sure to work up a sweat on any dancefloor. Inspired by such names as Harley&Muscle, Kerri Chandler and Dj Spinna. All producers who know how to create an atmosphere where driving rhythms can coincide with deep and soulful melodies.

‘Makin’ Sense’ is about taking the time to understand. Understand ourselves, our life and perspective of things. A deep reflection poetically expressed by BluRum13.

THE QUEST FOR OLORUN
Written / Produced / Arranged by Miles Moore

Olorun: A word for God (the Supreme Being), in the Yoruba language.

An introduction of the song by Miles Moore :

The inspiration for this track came from desire to pursue a deeper understanding of spirituality. As a child, religion and faith was sidelined to things such as hockey and music… Come to think of it, hockey and music were my religion! In hockey, I had faith that with an honest effort I could accomplish anything and be like my idols in the HABS, and in music I had faith that no matter what happened, music would always be there through good or rough times, and let me tell you, there were many rough times. To be honest, if it wasn’t for music, I probably wouldn’t be typing this…

Now, an adult, I have experienced many scenarios and have come to believe that a life without spirituality is futile. For me, it is something that resonates on several levels and guides me to a better understanding of my time here. This said, the title ‘The Quest For Olorun’ has a personal meaning in regards to my trek through the discoveries of my enlightened perceptions. Just as I like my music, I try to live my life… Deep.

Music wise, I am always looking for a balance between organic and electronic sounds to create a harmony that includes the best of two worlds. The rich, fluid and natural elements of organic instrumentation and the relentless, surgical and driving elements of electronic music production. For this track I focused on Latin and African organic rhythms and percussions infused with synthesized melodies and basslines. Some would say on the electronic ancestral house tip.

When it comes to laying tracks down, I usually do things solo and in this case all instruments were written, played and recorded by me. I search to create themes or tell a story with my songs even when they are instrumental and I feel that ‘The Quest For Olorun’ does just that. A journey to the minds eye for those who are willing to listen and not hear, to appreciate and not overlook, to discover and not disregard.
