PART 3: Singer/Songwriter VINCE DURRELL drops in to discuss his career + his latest song currently sitting at #1 on the UK Soul chart with GARCIA,WALKER,DURRELL
(July 23, 2021) As the production guru behind ‘90s soul-dance outfit Driza Bone, Vincent Garcia crafted memorable remixes of now-classic hits by the likes of Mary J. Blige, Jody Watley, and Lisa Stansfield. Following more than a decade spent largely out of the spotlight, he teamed up with multi-instrumentalist Mark Walker in 2014 to craft the mellow and nostalgic “Praying for Rain,” fronted by US-based Vince Durrell.
Although the track garnered notable attention via inclusion on a Soul Togetherness compilation, the album of the same title was shelved—until now. Recent interest in a cover of the late Beloyd Taylor’s “Get into Your Life” has brought the Garcia Walker & Durrell project back to life via Soul Intention Records. Simultaneously, more soul fans are discovering “Praying for Rain,” coming to appreciate the laid back vocal appeal of Durrell, songwriting craft of Walker, and production savvy of Garcia.
Take a listen to Garcia Walker & Durrell’s heartfelt “Praying for Rain” and let us know how it vibes with you:

For this one we all came dressed in white and we all got down to the funky sounds of Prince. Here's the LAST CALL from JUJU BLANCO-The White Party Edition with a set dedicated to the music of Prince Rogers Nelson-Rest In Power and THANK U!
JUJU as a mobile entity has lived within many residences. But few of the venues shared the distinct flavor of "The Inglewood Clubhouse." The title is in quotes because that wasn't the actual name of the venue-I just called it that! This venue was actually a dual level auto shop that sat across the street from a DMV office in the heart of the 'Wood. This set contains some broken-beat, jazzy rhythms and features a wide range of my favorite artists such as Amerie, beats by producers such as J-Dilla, IG Culture, and Platinum Pied Pipers (Triple P), and carries with it poignant reminders of our most recently departed. Phife from A Tribe Called Quest is in this mix as well as Triple P paying homage in a banger that features the genius of the recently passed Maurice White of Earth, Wind & Fire. The microphone was broken that night which accounts for the low hum on occasion at the end so this is a straight music set. Here's a classic LAST CALL mix recorded live at JUJU in 2005. Enjoy!
