LA-based producer & DJ Jayvon has created this sweet little mash-up project based on Daft Punk’s Tron Legacy movie score. In this 4 track EP, Jayvon re-imagines Sade, Terence Trent D’Arby, Lil Jon and Daft Punk themselves. The result is some atmospheric soul, the likes of which you haven’t really heard before! Well, I could do without Lil Jon (in life in general as well as in this EP), but the beats are awesome. Listen to the Sade and Daft Punk tracks below and head over to Jayvon’s site to download the whole EP. Check out the rest of his music selections – there’s a lot of good stuff to be found there….

This video provides a fascinating look into the creative process of a Sade – a true musical genius. We learn about what goes into making a Sade album and get some great behind-the-scenes insights into how Soldier of Love came to be.

Steven Lopez contacted me the other day and just about knocked my socks off with his awesome video series “After Midnight.” The concept is that he takes a song from a soul singer he digs (Jill Scott, Sade, Erykah Badu for example) and records a time-lapse video of him painting a portrait of that singer, set to the particular song that inspired him. The result are some really nice, stylized portraits of some great singers. Evidently Steven is turning some heads with his work. Check out the story on his blog of how he met Jill Scott and was able to give her his painting. Word is that some other major developments are on the way as a result of all this, and I’ll be keeping you posted on what this talented dude is up to.

Check out his Jill Scott “Hate On Me” piece:
