Quantic and Alice on Revenge (ABC)

The hit US drama Revenge is in it's second season now, it's currently airing in America and recently used Quantic and Alice Russell's Magdalena in one of it's scenes. Season 2 Episode 4 uses the sweet soul and blues of Magdalena to soundtrack a minute long scene at a baby shower party. For anyone unfamiliar with the show, here's a brief synopsis of the program to interest you:

"Emily Thorne (Emily Van Camp) is new to the Hamptons. She's met some of her wealthy neighbors, has made a few new friends and seemingly blends into the town. But something is a little odd about a young girl living in a wealthy town all on her own, and the truth is that Emily isn't exactly new to the neighborhood. In fact, this was once her old neighborhood, until something bad happened that ruined her family and their reputation. Now Emily is back, and she's returned to right some of those wrongs in the best way she knows how – with a vengeance."

For anyone in the USA you can watch the episode here, UK viewers will have to wait a while - but E4 will be showing the second series in 2013.

Magdalena is also the second single to be lifted from the Quantic and Alice Russell album, set to be released as a digital download and a LTD edition 12" vinyl, keep you eyes peeled for a release in early 2013. You can listen to Magdalena below:

Los Miticos Del Ritmos (new video)

Los Miticos Del Ritmo (The Mythics of Rhythm), is the hip shaking, dancefloor quaking cumbia band from Will ‘Quantic’ Holland and his studio band. Released on Soundway Records earlier this year, Los Miticos Del Ritmo made the record in Will’s home studio in Cali, his approach was to produce an album with the aesthetics of 1960s tropical recordings made in Colombia and the Caribbean. Careful attention made to preserve the analogue quality of the recording at every stage.

"The idea of the record was to record something that sounded like a lost cumbia classic," said Will in a recent interview with Soundway "Like something dug out of a Barranquilla basement after decades of humidity and dust." 

The album features a number of covers, of bands such as Queen and Michael Jackson, along with a collection of original tracks which Full Thought are pleased to publish. Drop us an email if you interested in using any of the Los Miticos Del Ritmo originals - mail@fullthought.co.uk

Kylie Auldist - Still Life (Out Today)

Kylie Auldist's third album on Tru Thoughts is out today. ‘Still Life’ is brimful of bright, accessible funk and sultry soul, served up by the velvety voiced diva with a healthy dose of disco inspired boogie. The album was co-written and produced by close collaborator Lance Ferguson (Lanu/The Bamboos), whose versatile production skills – as showcased across his many Lanu and The Bamboos releases – snap into action here with a classy updating of the ‘70s dancefloor sound. Exquisite string and horn arrangements on the record sit amongst emotive piano melodies, driving drums and the strut and snaking groove of Ferguson’s guitar.

Full Thought are extremely please to be publishing this new Kylie Auldist album - the soaring melodies and positive nature of the music are sure to be suitable for a variety of uses.

Menagerie, the new project from Lance Ferguson

Menagerie is the spiritual jazz project from the prolific producer, songwriter and guitarist Lance Ferguson, best known for his eclectic and highly acclaimed work under the Lanu and The Bamboos monikers, and here venturing out to explore new musical terrain. A true ensemble project, on which Lance takes a back seat in performance – soloing only once and otherwise letting his Menagerie do their thing – the album was recorded with the assistance of long-time production partner and engineer John Castle. On the album they have inherited the sound of some of the classic music of Harry Whitaker, Gary Bartz, McCoy Tyner, Weldon Irvine and the labels Tribe, Strata East and Black Jazz. But far from being simply a 1975 time capsule, this project is pushing forward; songs like The Chosen sound like a live jazz take on some of the club music experiments of the 21st century producers who have been inspired by Ayers, Mizell and the like.

The first album, ‘They Shall Inherit’ is out on Tru Thoughts in December 2012 on CD, vinyl and digital; featuring a guest appearance from the legendary US jazz/funk vibraphonist Roy Ayers, the album has gained early support from the authority on all things leftfield, Gilles Peterson (Worldwide/BBC 6Music).

Full Thought publish the Menagerie album, so get in touch if you wish to hear more material or would like to use any of the music - mail@fullthought.co.uk
