Good Morn, or Evening, Friends:
I come bearing gifts from the soul, updates from the Spirit Garden,
and free digital schwag. How are your sweet hearts? Peace and ease and
calm to you.
Nouvelle News:
*Chill for Life – Free Ji MP3*
Downtempo love, bumpin’ through basslines. Visit Out Records for a
free download of the vintage release, “Chill for Life.” M. Mehdi’s
cool-water beats and Ji’s audio treats make for some delectable fare.

*Stayin’Human – Replife Represents*
Dearest of the dear, Replife’s forthcoming “the UNCLOSED mIND,” to be
released this year on Futuristica, promises to take your mind through
to expansion and beyond! I’ll be featured on one of the tracks there,
too. Keep your ears open for it, mkay? Visit his website for a glimpse
of all the good there is, and is on its way. Contact him, too, for a
free copy of his digi-mixtape “humanoid,” including music by such
notables as Jazzanova, Roy Ayers, New Sector Movements, and more.

*Multi-Dimensional Filmic Voyages – Tycho’s Flow*
Tycho’s new releases on Merck Records (Past is Prologue, Past is
Prologue Sampler, and singles on Squadron 2 CD and Box Sets) represent
a progressively impressive body of work. Influenced by the finest
electronica/ambient/IDM artists from the past and present, this new
release (an elegant extrapolation of his self-released Sunrise
Projector album) has been appropriately called a “soundscape–” a work
of art. My vocals are featured on a few of the tracks, a couple of
which are newly released. Highly enjoyabe, high-grade,
cold-lamp-apropos goodness.

*Water, Love & Sunshine – All I Need for Feelin’ Fine *
My track with DJ Freestyle on the Australia-based “Hemmesphere Five”
double-CD compilation’s being well-received. 3DWorld coos: “The latest
Installment in the classic Hemmesphere Series: Summer On CD! ‘I can’t
find fault with the fifth instalment in the Hemmesphere series. [I]t
drifts effortlessly through percussive instrumentals, soulful grooves
and uber-chic lounge beats. Ideal stuff for a classy dinner party or a
lazy afternoon in the herb garden…’”
I also love that a lot of my hero(in)es are featured on it as
well, including: Lisa Shaw, Grace Jones, Nina Simone, Nouvelle Vague,
Roy Ayers & Basement Jaxx.

Other than that, I’ll save all the truly edgy prose and such for the
gonzos, out there on the frontlines. Et moi, I’ve been taking a
one-year sabbatical from performing. Martinis, anyone? Meanwhile, my
music children have been reverberating hither, thither, zither, n’
yon. Ain’t that some sweetness and light? Dag.
I’ve been following the formula: part work, part play, part restful
enjoyment in a Ji-way. I’ve been writing a lot of acoustic tracks,
creating digital art for love and rent, and have booked a couple of
performances for the months ahead. More recordings are coming, too.
Studio buttons and knobs, woofers and tweetz, they’re really palettes,
you know?
Special thanks to Hillquest.com for the love and pics, Anji Bee and
Netteradio for the podcasting support and Thank You, for Loving Music and Art as Much as I do.
I’ll keep you posted as the flowers continue to bloom.
Stay in Love,
Jianda
