Following the release of “For The Beloved” by Dave Beer & The Blessed, which featured Robert Owens and Todd Terry‘s remixes, comes their second release. It leads up to their debut album dropping on July 4, 2025. 

The first track, “Come Together,” is a chill, glitchy song with lyrics by Sundiata Oba Mausi, known for his work with Chez Damier and Ron Trent in Detroit. The vocals were recorded 30 years ago when Dave met Sundiata in America. The track carries an important environmental message about saving the planet, particularly concerning the Ozone layer, emphasizing the need for collective action. 

The second track, “Erectile,” features lively beats and samples of nature sounds, along with a light-hearted spoken word. Dave recorded his own breathing for this track, which symbolizes his celebration of life after a serious health scare in late 2024. The title “Erectile” comes from an amusing memory with an ex-girlfriend, capturing a non-sexual but humorous essence. 

Dave Beer is the founder of the club Back 2 Basics, pivotal in the 1990s club scene, supporting many renowned DJs. A recent Buddhist convert, this single reflects his return to the dance scene, celebrating unity.

Nas, Ownership Over Clout, And The Blueprint For Generational Wealth

Shon Murdock

In hip-hop, wealth has often been measured in visible success, diamond chains, foreign cars, and sold-out arenas. But real power has always lived somewhere quieter, in ownership. Few artists have embodied that evolution more strategically than Nas, a lyricist who turned street poetry into boardroom leverage and transformed rap earnings into generational equity. From the […]

Solarstone And Susie Ledge Release New Single-“Haunt Me”

Tim Stark

Bold prediction perhaps, but we’ll say it anyway: “Haunt Me”‘s a one-and-done — the kind of record that locks you in on first listen and plays on loop in the mind, long after the speakers have gone quiet. In that instant catch, there’s a certain irony too, as, for the first time in his career, […]

Christian Burns Releases Darker Days (Original & Avenue One Mixes)

Tim Stark

From the forward-looking, Jan-hopeful lean of his most recent single “Fall To You,” Christian Burns moves onto the slightly less sanguine sounding “Darker Days.” After all, every lighter yin must result in some shadowy yang, right?? Well not necessarily, as “sounding” is very much the operative word here, as once again Christian delivers the electronic […]

Ciaran McAuley Announces New Album “Finding Me”

Tim Stark

Ironically perhaps, owes its existence to a period of profound creative doubt on Ciaran McAuley’s behalf. After years of forward momentum, the Irish artist found himself questioning not only his own direction, but his relationship with music itself. At that crossroads, rather than forcing (what now only had the appearance of) progress, he chose to […]
