Source: By 'While on a world tour to support their fourth album, Love in Flying Colors, The Foreign Exchange stopped by the Tiny Desk to rev up a Friday afternoon. I've followed Phonte Coleman and Nicolay in their 10 years as a band -- and it's evident their writing and production are honest and downright pungent at times.
But when it's time to perform, it's all about fun. Backed by keyboardist Zo!
And percussionist Boogie, Phonte, never short for words, lays down some quick ground rules. He then proceeds to interpret lyrics to meld three stripped-down highlights from their latest LP, including one of our top sleepers from last year.
Enjoy this Tiny Desk Concert that also serves as a church sermon and stand-up act' (by Bobby Carter for NPR).

Departure Produced by Nicolay and Chris Boerner Continue reading. 'Off The Shelf' is the name of a recurring series on +FE Music. For each episode, Nicolay digs into his archives to present you with a gem that has never been released, or that has otherwise been forgotten about. That's the short version of the reason why the follow-up to ' (2005) never came to be. I started working on it in 2007 for a planned 2008 release, but the re-emergence of The Foreign Exchange and all that came with it soon took all of my time and attention, not to mention the fact that my musical direction was shifting. And so the material that I had intended to use for The Dutch Masters Vol.
2 ended up on the shelf. In the upcoming episodes of my Off The Shelf series, I am going to set this material free one track at a time. This episode: 'Until My Life's Gone (Nicolay Remix)' by Collective Efforts Original cover art by Sean Kernick, 2007/08. When I first arrived in the States, in the Spring of 2006, I did an extensive tour of DJ-sets across the country to 'introduce myself' and to promote the album I was about to release, (BBE; 2006).
One of those shows was in Atlanta, where I opened up for my fam. Also performing was a local group called. They sounded good and, equally important, were some genuinely good people. After that I would run into them each time that I visited Atlanta, and we stayed in touch.
I did this remix for them in early 2007, and it has always been a personal favorite of mine. I honestly don't remember if it ever came out around that time. Either way, I was going to include this on DM2 as the first track. So here it is, with a shout out to Collective Efforts. Enjoy, and please spread the word if you like what you hear. And check back in two weeks for the second track from DM2. Thank you for listening, Nicolay Visit Collective Efforts on Facebook: ' UNTIL MY LIFE'S GONE (NICOLAY REMIX)' Vocals by Ben Hameen, J Mil and Bambu Cuts by DJ Creashun Remix produced by Nicolay 2007 Continue reading.
