September 10, 2015
The power of a big band jazz act distilled down to five funky, fired up pieces - DJ Premier and his new band, The BADDER – giving y’all this work: “BPATTER” (the ‘P’ is kinda silent, the way Preemo says it, but not really how he plays it). So, we have Preem on the wheels, Lenny “The Ox” Reece on the skins, Brady Watt on the bass, Mark Williams on the bone, and Takuya Kuroda on the trumpet. Check it out. Nice!

Vibe out with Dexter Brandon’s new track “Cause I (Talk to Me)” [Groove Beat]
June 23, 2015
I think we all have gotten that late night phone call from someone saying that they miss you and want to see you. Sometimes it’s a good thing other times it’s not but I think we now have something that can be the soundtrack to that experience. Producer and Kolossus Records founder Dexter Brandon composed some groovy sounds to vibe out to with a voicemail from a young lady making that late night call to a guy. So take a listen and who knows next time you get that phone call you might put this track on and see what happens.
She calls.
You don’t answer.
She cries.
You try not to think about it.
She calls.
You don’t answer.
She says she misses you.
You try not to think about it.
The day goes on.
Night fills the corners of the room.
She doesn’t call again.
You wonder if she’s okay.
You wonder if she truly misses you.
You heart drops to the words of her saying “I miss you…”
You try not to think about it.
Cause you ____ care.
