[September 12, Los Angeles] In times of war artists can be a light out of the darkness.
Iranian American vocalist Sussan Deyhim indeed represents a bridge for peace between her native land and Americans, who will have an opportunity to hear her new show:

“Romance Language”—a collection of international songs of love in Persian, Arabic,
English, Italian, Portuguese, and her wordless incantation

Sussan Deyhim will present a compilation of her different musical and vocal signatures,
vintage love songs from around the world, first presented at The London Jazz Festival.
Part of the set will include music from “Logic of the Birds,” a collaboration with world
renowned composer Richard Horowitz (“Sheltering Sky”, “Any Given Sunday,” “Three Seasons.”) “Logic of the Birds” is based on a 12th century play by Attar featuring a female spiritual leader and has been produced at Lincoln Center, Art Angle in London and Change in Europe. “Deyhim and Horowitz have created a unique and very relevant body of work imbued with a sense of ritual and the unknown.”
Deyhim will also perform her new songs about the political issues she faces as an Iranian
artist living in the US for the last two decades. Deyhim has previously collaborated with
Ornette Coleman, Bobby McFerrin, Bill Laswell, Rufus Wainwright, Talvin Singh, Jah Wobble and Will Calhoun, amongst many others. Sussan has extensive film credits including doing the music and sound design for 8 films by Shirin Neshat, collaborating with Oscar winner Jan Kaczmarek on “Unfaithful,” Peter Gabriel on “The Last Temptation of Christ, Paul Hasliger on “Sleeper Cell,”  Richard Horowitz on “Any Given Sunday,” and with Alberto Iglesias on “The Kite Runner.” 

Deyhim has performed and recorded widely as a solo artist. Her one-woman show “Vocodeliks,” commissioned by the Whitney Museum of Art, led Billboard Magazine to describe Deyhim as “an overpowering presence… [whose] wordless incantations are amplified in harmonized layers and recycled into sampled loops, beckoning you into this virtual desert ritual” while the New York Times said that her “thrilling music…sounds in the ear long after you’ve left the show.” Deyhim’s solo recordings include Madman of God: Divine Love Songs of the Persian Sufi Masters, Shy Angels (with Bill Laswell) for the visionary label Crammed Discs and Turbulent. Other recordings include Majnoun (for Sony Classical) and Desert Equations (released on Crammed Discs), both with the composer Richard Horowitz, a frequent collaborator. With composer and director Heiner Goebbels, Deyhim recorded Shadows (for ECM), based on writings of Edgar Allan Poe and Heiner Mueller, and composed and performed music for Deepak Chopra’s “A Gift of Love,” with narration by Martin Sheen, Madonna, Goldie Hawn, and Debra Winger. She was also a featured soloist on Hal Wilner’s tribute to Kurt Weill, “Lost in the Stars.”

Jihad Muhammad
PROMO! Ascension/Expansions/Latin Vibes EP
Nite Grooves KNG277 - release date: Oct/22/2007 

Track 
01 Ascension (Piano Mix)  7:11 
02 Ascension (Dub)  6:40   
03 Expansions  7:11    
04 Latin Vibes (Part 1)  7:20  
     

Dubbed the Prince of underground dance music scene, NY/NJ house producer Jihad Muhammad,
who’s previously had releases on West End Records, Easy Street and Iwanai out of Canada,
bestows us with a very special 3 song instrumental EP, 2 of which can be found on this
October 2007 sampler. The Piano Mix of Ascension is a gorgeous 124.5 BPM affair with
plenty of plucky strings, a deep but not-heavy Balearic kick & bass drum, bouncy bassline,
intermittent synth, & distinctive jazzy piano riffs that’ll get the head nodding and hips
swaying. Expansions is another lovely instrumental but with more of an Afro-cuban percussive
production whle keeping all of the dreamy piano chords and riffs intact and alive. Feel the
flow and head for the dancefloor…

Vega Records - Ursula Rucker - Untitled Flow

Filed under records

Ursula Rucker
Untitled Flow (Mario Pagliari Remixes)
Vega VR045 - release date: Sep/25/2007 
   

Track 

01 Main  5:33  
02 Instrumental 4:39 
03 Beats  4:37 
    

Long before poetry slams were thrust into the spotlight, Philadelphia’s Ursula Rucker
defined her own bitter-sweet lyrical style, which addressed topics such as slavery,
love, sexism and politics, positioning itself somewhere between spoken verse and sung
speech - Spoken Soul, JazzHop, Poetry.

“Untitled Flow”, is an hypnotic, brave and electronically bouncing track full of pride,
which answers the question seldom asked these days, what was Hip Hop actually all about -
both musically and regarding its content? “Untitled Flow”, revamped with Italy’s own Mario
Pagliari complimenting this remix on sync with a nice edgy and slick bass tone driven beat
that marks the impressive return of a voice, a woman, trained journalist, mother, singer
and prize-winning poetess.
