Biography

Timmy Thomas is notable for having been a major one-hit wonder with ?Why Can?t We Live Together?,? a song distinguished by its stripped-down production ? soulful organ, played seemingly improvisationally over a rhythm from a primitive drum machine, with Thomas? impassioned vocals layered over both. The result was a 1973 hit for Thomas and for T.K. Records subsidiary Glades. While Thomas had released records before ?Why Can?t We Live Together?,? and continued to release them afterwards, none of them garnered much in the way of sales. He continued to work on sessions for T.K. Records artists (including Gwen McCrae and Clarence Reid?s alter-ego, Blowfly) and could be spotted in the ?90s working as a producer for LaFace Records.

Track Pick:

Glenn Thornton "There Will Be Changes" featuring Gerideau - Slaag

Click,listen and leave a comment:
https://soundcloud.com/slaagrecords/...m-a-foray-into

Here we have an exceptional vocal piece by one of New Jersey's best voices Geridau,performing this wonderful but powerful piece entitled "There will be Changes" produced by Glenn Thornton. The lyrics are powerful and touch a topic we are all familiar with with all of our young black youth being shot and killed based on societies interpretation of our people and it's also an un-apologetic protest song for the killing and murdering of young Black men as it has gone unpunished due to bad laws and bad prosecutors.

Don't get it twisted,the music is designed to compliment the vocals yet are just right for the dance floors.

Play this one loud !!

Taken from the forthcoming album A Foray Into Slaagerous by Glenn Thornton. coming soon !

Nu Era / Nouveau Synthetic Compositions/Omniverse Records
Tech House/Electronica


I've always been a huge fan of 4Hero. Marc Mac (of 4Hero) delivers this lovely musical package with a different taste in mind. We get the same great results when you drop these extraordinary nu-jazz/tech house dance pieces into your sets.The music production is just great and I love where they took these pieces.. somewhere out there on the dance floor.Oscar Styles is where it's at in this package, not to take away from the other dope cuts but this one really takes me there !



Marc Mac continues to expand the Nu Era journey into Soulful Techno with 8 new tracks. Continuing on from "The Third Adam", "Nouveau Synthetic Compositions" delves deeper into psychedelic techno-fusion while still keeping Marc's distinctive Nu Era ingredients. Marc's natural ability to seamlessly cross-pollenate genres shines through most with his Nu Era workings and an understanding of vintage electronic music is present at most times with this new record. ?I don?t want to exclude the human feel from my electronic productions, I'd like to think anyone of these compositions would easily translate to a small orchestra?. This mini album comes in a lovely 7? gatefold sleeve packaged with 7' vinyl and an eight track CD. Limited to 500 copies. Pre-Order the Vinyl from omniverse-records.bandcamp.com - Global distribution by Kudos distributors. Digital release also available through iTunes and other selected stores.
