I remember back last year in the early days of AJB we did our third podcast & we feautured this duo called Martin Parks, so it's just about time we give you a little more insight to this amazing duo from Illinios. Their music can be described as jazzy & soul vibes mixed with hip hop. Jacque Hammond & Roman Lee really complements eachother with her sweet vocals and his. Their music is a bit experimental to the point that is just amazing and re:freshing to hear. "Barefoot" is their latest album which is available @ their Bandcamp site such as more awesome music. Always nice with some quality music right?

Form by definition is the mode in which a thing exists, acts, or manifests itself. It is the foundation by which all things are perceivable in the physical realm. Our reality takes form as we visualize to manifest it. Once it is visualized it can be created physically. Becoming part in building our exterior existence as a reflection of what we are within; Life, Love, Creation.

Whatelse to say then this is some awesome project from Mooncircle whom are very proud to bring you "International Summers". NY's very own brothers in arts John Robinson and Lewis Parker have created a lyrical masterpiece, spiced up with the best ingredients ranging from jazzy instrumentals to finest old-school-flavour.
It is often difficult to describe in words the emotion that is involved in creative ventures. This is one of those situations. When we decided to record the new album “International Summers” we wondered how we could possibly capture the deep and warm sensation that lies within the heart and souls of the people world round. John Robinson and Lewis Parker both hold impressive discographies the easily boast a decade plus of gems delivered to the masses wrapped in passion, love and integrity. John is the perfect example of still waters run deep, his much reserved and calm façade belies the excitement and the imagination that explodes when he literally loses himself in the rhymes and let thoughts channel from a higher place.
Lewis is a master craftsman, and his craft is one of hypnotism, seduction and satisfaction all accomplished via his bewitching SP 1200 and other Classic vintage analog machinery, which gives birth right to his Golden Sound. JR and LP are the oracles of that warmth the has been missing in the world of music and leaving so many cold and lonely searching for that same substance that forced them to fall in Love with the music in the first place! International Summers marks the continuing journey that can’t be limited to a certain place nor season, so fasten your seatbelts yall! Let’s RIDE!
