Sunday Night Soul [Vol. 69]

Posted by Baseer Ahmad - August 19, 2018

As you may or may not have noticed, Sunday Night Soul was conspicuously missing last weekend. Fret not however, as tonight is a celebratory occasion. Over the weekend, we welcomed a brand new addition to the ninja family. From all of us here at The Music Ninja, we would love to congratulate our co-founder Clayton on the birth of his baby boy (make sure to leave him a nice note on Twitter). It’s only appropriate then that we dedicate this week’s episode in his honor (although we don’t think he’s old enough to listen to some of the music quite yet).

Of course there’s at least one more reason to rejoice, since these week’s playlist is packed to the brim with some amazing tunes. Without further ado, we’ll let you dive right in to the selection below. As always, make sure to follow us on Spotify and SoundCloud as well to get alerted when we update our playlist!

[Music Video] VenessaMichaels – Ridin’ The Waves featuring Effy & Outlaw The Artist

Posted by Tyler Trew - July 20, 2018

Back on June 8th VenessaMichaels released her debut EP, Flight, complete with three singles and an interlude. All tracks on the concept EP were magnificent, showing the evolution of Venessa as a producer. We’ve been enjoying the tracks ever since, but now we have a music video to further satisfy us.

Venessa’s collaboration with Effy and Outlaw The Artist called “Ridin’ The Waves” kicked off the EP with a bang and has subsequently grown the overall Flight project with a visual counterpart. The video centers around Effy and Outlaw, with each of them performing, as well as the two at a beautiful beach. It’s a tasteful video whose minimalist style is quite powerful. Venessa also will be hosting a 2090 Pool Party on July 29th, make sure to RSVP!

[Festival Preview/Playlist] The Underground Music Showcase 2018 – Denver, CO – 7/27-7/29

Posted by Matthew Bloss - July 17, 2018

The 18th anniversary of one of Denver’s most storied music events, The Underground Music Showcase, is rapidly encroaching, bringing with it perhaps its heaviest-hitting lineup ever. What began as a one-night performance featuring just four bands, The UMS has steadily exploded into to a three-day music and arts festival featuring hundreds of performances. As the time draws nearer to what will no doubt be another incredible weekend of performances, this year taking place from July 27th – July 29th, it’s time to get our readers familiar with this year’s crop of highly established headliners and burgeoning local & national artists, spanning a plethora of genres and sounds.

Dotting the top end of this year’s addition of The Underground Music Showcase are more than a few TMN regulars. Among this year’s biggest highlights are the smooth indie-disco stylings of L.A. electronic duo Classixx, the infectious ciphers of B.J. the Chicago Kid, Deezie Brown & legendary hip-hop troupe Digable Planets, a healthy smattering of established indie acts including Greta Kline’s Frankie Cosmos project, Parallelephants, Deerhunter & Mothers, scuzzy rock sets from Alvvays, White Denim & Superchunk; not to mention the most eclectic handling of local talent we get to hear year after year including sets from olorado’s own CRL CRRLL, Aaron Bordas, Slow Caves, Bud Bronson & The Goodtimers and loads more.

Right now, special one-day GA tickets can be found for $40 over on their homepage with weekend passes for just $75. We’ll see you there in full force on July 27th, but until then, get in the UMS swing of things by streaming our playlist below.
