\"Colorful<\/a>\"Beautiful<\/a>\"It's<\/a><\/div>\n

If you’re like me, you’ve grown tired of listening to the same old stuff on the radio and the various video channels. Through the years as I’ve turned less and less to my beloved Hip-Hop, I’ve ventured into the Acid-Jazz, Drum & Bass, and 2 Step arenas. But my latest discovery quickly became one of my favorites. Unfortunately I don’t know how to adequately describe this style of music — depending on the song, you can find elements of deep house, soul, electronica, nu-jazz, broken beat, funk, trip-hop, chill-out… <\/p>\n

This music generally consists a funky, house type beat, overlaid with smooth instrumentals, topped off with some soulful vocals. But the best thing to do is to sample it for yourself. A great place to start is with some of the releases of the premiere label in this space, Naked Music<\/a>. Some of my favorites are Beautiful Tomorrow<\/a><\/i> by Blue Six, Colorful You<\/a><\/i> by Miguel Migs (aka Petalpusher), the Nude Dimensions<\/i> series<\/a>, and the Carte Blanche<\/i> series<\/a>. My most recent find, which is in heavy rotation, is Kaskade’s It’s You, It’s Me<\/a><\/i>, from Om Records<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Take a listen and be sure to turn up your subwoofers. And for more insight into the genre, check out this interview with one of Naked Music’s founders, Bruno Ybarra<\/a>.
