For one to title their album Planet of The Ape$ might make someone think that you are in for an apocalyptic, cinematic type of journey through sound with GREATeclectic as the director. That’s not entirely untrue. You’re definitely going on a ride, but it’s smoother and more familiar than one might have anticipated. DJ and artist, GREATeclectic serves as more of a Jack Hanna character guiding the listener through a concrete jungle.
SOPA or not, If you’re looking these three you can find them on the Internet.

Corinne Stevie‘s Amalgam Nation EP album has been mysteriously brewing for the last two years and today she happy to know that its finally ready to be served. According to the artist/musician, “Amalgam Nation is a melting pot of many things, people, cultures, ideas, and emotions. Allow your self to get a taste of musical stew that is filled with many flavors and sounds. Amalgam Nation is about human connectedness.”
Atlanta based musician Jessie Davis approached me a couple months back about doing art work that represented a song on her new album Him and I Gemini. Jessie expressed to me that she wanted to have a piece of art that represented each song that she would release online and I thought this was a pretty cool concept so I was down to do the work. Originally it was suppose to be four artists doing four different pieces of work for the songs but the way everything worked out I ended up becoming the leading artist for the project which was really exciting. Here are four illustrations that go along with the 4 released singles from Jessie Davis’s second album Him and I Gemini.
