Paul Johnsons debut album originally released in 1995 is a classy mixture of deep soulful house and harder, more techno style house beats. Born and raised in the birthplace of House Music, Paul Johnson has released a vast amount of music for some of the most consistently underground dance labels before hooking up with Peacefrog. 12" releases on the likes of Cajual / Relief and Dance Mania led to his debut album release Bump Talkin' in 1996. This and the follow up Feel The Music became two of the most talked about releases of their time. His remix work for Stacy Kidd, Joey Beltram, Green Velvet, Armando, CC Penniston, Ron Trent, K-Alexi, and Steve Poindexter amongst many others have made their way into all the big DJ’s boxes, many of which remain there to this day. Paul's breakthrough moment arrived in 1999 with his International hit Get Down which is still heard in clubs and on the radio to this day. Record Label: Peacefrog Style: House

The Kolkata, India-based dream pop duo -- comprised of multi-instrumentalist/vocalist Nischay Parekh and percussionist/producer Jivraj Singh -- went international earlier this year after inking a deal with mega U.K. indie label Peace Frog Records. Their debut album is entitled Ocean and there’s the realization that it’s got pop hooks you’re not going to tire of very easily. Vibrant synth lines and basic drum grooves with simple guitar riffs perfectly complement Parekh’s clean, easy vocals. As an instrumentalist, Parekh learnt to play the guitar when he was 11, but as a songwriter, the unpretentious lyrics reflect both a youthfulness and maturity. On “Philosophize,” Parekh sings, “There are thoughts and there are worries/Sometimes it feels like my heart is in a hurry/I’ve got a New York state of mind/In Indian standard time.” It’s evident that the singer is trying to find his own sound but there are tracks that call for inevitable comparisons. “I Love You Baby, I Love You Doll,” is where Parekh’s vocals sound closest to American singer-songwriter Jason Mraz. Meanwhile, “Me and You” has all the makings of a Jack Johnson love song. Parekh goes psychedelic on songs like “Hill” and “Secrets,” which sound like Animal Collective filler songs. A longer track like the four-minute “Ghost” take a while to grow on you because Parekh swaps pop hooks for R&B vocals. It’s when Parekh and his collaborators [drummer Jivraj Singh, bassist Pedro Zappa and pianist George Matthew Dylan Varner-Hartley] bring out “Panda” [inspired by English Romantic poet William Blake] that we realize producer Miti Adhikari, who also mixed the album, has played a key role in shaping the album. Ocean is that perfect debut album because it’s not just all about the hooks. The album also showcases Parekh’s versatility, but more importantly, it establishes that he adds soul to his music, a quality that has been missing in most recent releases that we’ve heard Record Label: Peacefrog Style: Pop
