DON’T SLEEP: St/MiC “Solar March” [NEW INSTRUMENTAL ALBUM]
St/MiC is a highly respected DMV (Washington D.C./Maryland/Virginia) area jack of all trades with a tremendous work ethic and a worldwide reputation. He’s a well renowned multi instrumentalist, DJ, remixer, producer, sound engineer and emcee with a fanbase that stretches from Onancock, VA to Okinawa, Japan. He’s also one of the most selfless guys I know. I can give firsthand testimony to the many times he’s saved our sorry asses by being the technical side and the co-host of Bloggerhouse presents The Scrunchface Show.
His discography includes highly acclaimed releases such as “On My Days Off”, “Life’s Work”, “Honest Music” and “Sleeping” in addition to his lyrical and production contributions to several other projects. This particular LP “Solar March”, is an aesthetically pleasing instrumental opus in the vein of previous works from St/MiC or his work with Tha Connection or Jazz Addixx.
The blend of classical Soul music and Jazz elements in St/MiC’s production creates a final product that will appease not only the casual instrumental music fan, but the dyed in the wool Hip Hop head equally. All it takes is to hear smooth selections such as “No, Really, Listen”, “All In One”, “Rain Dance”, “Combinations”, the driving “ComboTime” or title track “Solar March” to realize this one of St/MiC’s best instrumental offerings to date.
St/MiC’s new instrumental LP “Solar March” is now available for purchase via Digi Crates Records and can be found on iTunes, Amazon, eMusic, Juno, Beatport, Napster and several other digital music marketplaces worldwide. Don’t sleep…

You can find “Quadrivium” wherever quality music is sold in both digital and physical formats. You’re all very welcome.

DON’T SLEEP: Apollo Brown “Clouds” [NEW INSTRUMENTAL ALBUM]
Apollo Brown had an incredible 2011 and judging by “Clouds” he’ll have a great 2011 as well. It’s already been Bloggerhouse approved and it drops on iTunes exclusively 2.22.2011 but everywhere else on 3.1.2011. This instrumental project is yet another sonic quantum leap from the man who previously brought us the stunning instrumental offerings “Skilled Trade” and “Make Do”. Mark my words, “Clouds” will be regarded as a great project years from now, trust me on this. I’m usually right about this kinda shit, after all.
