Chantel Atkins (CEO/Owner) I started The Rhythmic Lounge in December 2010. At its start, it was a fairly simple website with the purpose of giving people a place to promote their talents and network. I had no idea that less than two years later it would transform into something much bigger. The website then underwent a complete revamp in July 2011, with a brand new look and the addition of many new features, including the creation of The Rhythmic Lounge Radio. Following suit, the radio started out as merely a 24/7 stream of hand-picked music submitted by talented musicians from the website but is now an integral part of the company. Listeners from all over the world tune in regularly to hear the wide variety of music, as well as the educational, musical and talk-radio shows that we now host.

The radio’s success has only made me realize The Rhythmic Lounge could take me in new directions everyday rather than the other way around, which is why a digital magazine seemed like the next step. I’m incredibly proud to present to you hardworking artists and entertainers in this magazine and on the site, so enjoy!

The Stereo Boyz

Detroit, Michigan

Stereo Boyz consist of members Detroit Mixo (aka Applauze Beetz), Kid Boombox, & Mic Audio.

Before becoming super group Stereo Boyz they were a part of the “Rhyme Asylum” (1999 2008), a group that claimed a reputation of being one of Detroit's most devastating underground rap groups. Performing since a young age, the three MCs have created an undeniable stage presence. They master the ceremony & have earned the respect of every artist they came across. Completing a three month tour across Europe in late 2011, then returning 2012 & 2013, with shows in Germany, France, Austria, Holland, & Switzerland the Stereo Boyz have been internationally approved by fans abroad.

With Mixo & Kid Boombox coming from Detroit & Mic Audio from Chicago they have created a perfect fusion of the Midwest. Combining strong lyrics with catchy hooks, their sound merges the best of both worlds: clever rhymes & beats that any hip hop fan will nod their head or move their feet to. The mixtape “Sound Check Vol 1” was their first group effort & has earned praises from rap fans worldwide. The Stereo Boyz dropped their EP “Live from the Ghettoblaster” on January 2011 and their highly anticipated debut album “Carz, Clubz & Theatrez” has released in the Fall of 2013. Constantly in the studio working, writing, recording, rehearsing at home & abroad on new ideas, beats, and rhymes the group has several mixtapes from all group members coming out making it impossible to be slept on. Currently finishing up solo albums Mic Audio "Hometown Advantage" which released Fall 2014 have been placed in rotation on MTV Germany. Detroit Mixo "#Fresh2Life" produced, wrote, & recorded in Berlin set to release Summer 2015 with Kid Boombox "God Particle" to follow.

The Stereo Boyz represent the past, present, & future of Detroit Hip-Hop. Their combination of Detroit Motown and Chicago's House & Electro Pop sound has created a Midwest masterpiece.

Now it's time to share that masterpiece with the world. #PeaceLoveUnity

The Rhythmic Lounge: Our readers/followers can easily Google The Stereo Boyz and read about your talent and background in the entertainment industry but nobody knows the true identity of the group quite like The Stereo Boyz themselves! That being said…who are The Stereo Boyz?

Mic Audio: The stereo boyz are Detroit's newest form of the modern day Motown sound. Appreciated globally.

Detroit Mixo: A fine blend of past, present, & future Midwest vibrations.

Huey Boombox: The Grooviest The Rhythmic Lounge: Were there people around you who encouraged and influenced you to really pursue your talent?

Stereo Boyz: The People - Family, Friends, & Community. Individually and Collectively.

The Rhythmic Lounge: Many artists have accomplished hometown following and notoriety…The Stereo Boyz included! How have you managed to go above that and also make a name for yourselves internationally?

Stereo Boyz: By doing us. Somewhere in the music timeline especially in rap culture it became cool to imitate/jock/bite another artist style because it’s popular. That's not Hip-Hop or human. Even though there are 3 of us in 1 group. Our identity shines from bringing our individually in unity & that notoriety you speak of comes from always being honest and open with your music. People gravitate towards real lyricism. Real ideas and healers of the world.

The Rhythmic Lounge: Your first group release as Stereo Boyz was “Sound Check Vol 1.” How has time, knowledge and experience shaped/changed your growth and talent from that point to now?

Stereo Boyz: From rhyming together in grade school, to touring the world, to now doing this interview with you. We have come so far but still have a journey ahead of us. The power of knowledge from learning thru experiences is priceless. We couldn't have imagined the love and success Sound check did at the time. Over time, we learned how any project, big or small can catch the ears of people. We all grow everyday, so still today, we are still seeds and baby trees.

The Rhythmic Lounge: What can we look forward to from The Stereo Boyz in the near future?

Stereo Boyz: Better music and we'll continue to be real, honest and spreading peace in our music. We stay very active as musicians & have a lot on the way. Our music is a gift from us so we don't want to spoil surprises :) Currently released the single "Taxi". A song with a b-side & bonus cut. 3 songs for a great example of what’s to come from us this year. Stay connected on social media (Facebook/Instagram/Twitter) for all updates. It’s really us & we love to stay actively engaged with our people. #PeaceLoveUnityAndFun https://thestereoboyz.bandcamp.com/ https://soundcloud.com/thestereoboyz https://www.youtube.com/user/mixo81

Michael(Egleton((!

At the age of seven, Michael Egleton was introduced to music when his mom brought home a guitar for Christmas. He continued to play and experiment with numerous instruments before finding his musical connection with the keyboard. Michael began his musical career by playing and composing Gospel music for local artists and churches. Throughout the years his passion for music has broaden to include various genres such as Jazz, R&B and Soul.

Johnny Gill, Bobby “Blue” Bland, George Benson, Michael Henderson, Tyrese are just a few of the names that come to mind when you hear the music of Michael Egleton. Whether you’re in the mood to dance or for love the R & B, jazzy and sultry blends of piano and orchestra sounds sprinkled with raspy vocals takes you there with every song.

Today his keyboard is how he interprets life and allows his feelings to flow from the heart. Egleton’s mature sound can be attributed to his childhood and being raised by his grandfather, a fiery Gospel preacher from the south and former ” Honkie Tonk” musician himself during the 40′s and 50′s playing in the juke joints around Chicago.

This fresh, new sound with an old flare and innovative techniques and style best describes Michael Egleton and his music. It is simple yet mature, nothing too complicated, a straight to the point sound that’s refreshing to today’s music. Many of Michael’s musical influences include legendary Stevie Wonder, The Clark Sisters, George Duke, Michael Henderson, George Haynes of St. Louis and Barry White to name a few.

Originally from Barberton, Ohio, Michael currently resides in Akron, Ohio. Akron is well-known for producing several artists and industry greats and Egleton aspires to add his name to that list one day.

He has released two independent albums Baby, Baby, Baby and his current album titled, That’s Alright. This new album is steadily rising up the charts and is currently number one on Akron’s charts in the Blues, Jazz and Soul categories. All of Michael’s life experiences and lessons shapes him as a musician and are reflected in his music. Eager to experience success on the next level Michael Egleton is making his mark in the music industry.((((( (

Michael(Karr(

http://www.michaelkarr.com

is a formally trained, award winning, critically acclaimed trumpet player, skilled keyboardist, composer, arranger, lyricist, engineer and producer and has been featured on close to 45 records. After losing a lifetime of work and memories in a fire, Michael is reestablished in his new Manhattan studio, recording and producing several original projects and playing jazz with the Michael Karrtet™.

Born and raised in Pittsburgh, PA, Michael’s debut in music came at age 11, recording his first two albums as a trumpet soloist with the Pittsburgh Youth Symphony. In the 9th grade, Michael caught the eye of the great Randy Purcell (lead trombonist with Maynard Ferguson) who assisted Michael is getting a music scholarship for trumpet and piano to Carnegie Mellon University, which he began the following year.

The Rhythmic Lounge: Please introduce yourself and give the readers a brief background for those who aren’t familiar with you!

KZ: My name is Samuel E. Johnson aka KZ. Legendary rap hip-hop emcee from Pensacola Florida.

Winner of global best song competition in August 2015. Also i've featured in a total of 15 magazines including the XXL Freshman Edition 2016. Released 5 mixtapes and 2 albums. All under my KZ Entertainment LLC Company Independently. Distributed all from Florida throughout cities as high as Sydney Australia.

The Rhythmic Lounge: Your path to where you are now with your life and with music was not an easy one. What advice do you have for those with a passion and talent for music, whom are struggling to make the right decisions and turn things around?

KZ: My advice is you have too set your mind. And decide are you driven enough. Too risk it all if necessary too make your dreams of musical success a reality. If you are struggling too decide. Then maybe music isn't something your destined too do. I knew at age 9. I was born too do and pursue music and entertainment. So in my opinion I feel its not something you choose to do. But you are chosen too do. And if you are chosen by being blessed with the gift of music. Then you automatically know that your drive and grind mentality. Understands the pros and cons of pursuing it and becoming successful.

The Rhythmic Lounge: Were there people around you who encouraged and influenced you to really pursue your talent?

KZ: Growing up my only influences really were the artists/entertainers I grew up listening too. My friends and family all thought it was a waste of time. So because of that they never took me serious I guess. Nothing I'm ashamed or spiteful over. But actually I'm very grateful. Because that pushed my drive too another level. I realized that family and friends are always last too understand or embrace how great an artist really is. But fast-forwarding too my adult years. My kids definitely became the driven force I needed. Too motivate and inspire me each day too keep pushing. Of course now, I have a lot of key supporters. Who grind with me non-stop daily. And it’s truly an honor too go from.

The kid who used to write and emcee in his room alone for hours everyday. Too now become a person with this great support system. Too help him pursue the same dreams he wanted growing up. PRICELESS The Rhythmic Lounge: What do we have to look forward to from you in the near future?

KZ: Be on the lookout for my XXL Magazine Feature releasing June 22nd 2016. I'm also pushing too participate on the B.E.T. Hip-hop Awards Cypher 2016. So definitely tune in to that, which I'm sure you will lol. Follow all my social media outlets for all updates with me. And expect more great music releasing in August 2016 for you all too enjoy. Thank you for taking timeout too checkout this article. Please remember too STAY DETERMINED AND REMAIN ENCOURAGED. God Bless

KagyBee™ is a High Power Character Rock Band fronted by blonde “mistress of the library” Britney Maddern and the super interactive fighting duo of Rachel and Annemarie. KagyBee™ uses high energy rock and roll to fight any and all evil that stands in the way of true love! Flanked by special agents guitarist Vlad Tovbin, Drummer Eric Miller and Bassist Evan Bonetti, watch as Britney and her love fighters go around the world saving hearts, minds and love!

Entity Records and Entertainment™ recording artists KagyBee™ are produced by CoccoMusic™ at the 148 South Street Studios and their new EP “Hello-Goodbye” is scheduled for release this summer with their first full length album scheduled for release in 2017.

Lead vocalist Britney Maddern’s (Detroit, MI) driving physical presence and big voice combined with Rachel and Annemarie’s cool, sustaining vocals and dance make this band awesome on both the eyes and ears. When you add the classically trained rock guitar stylings of Vlad Tovbin (former Soviet Union) as well as the penetrating timing of drummer Eric Miller (Detroit, MI) and Bassist Evan Bonetti (Detroit, MI) you get a must see show.

Britney and Vlad met through a musicians wanted advertisement in the Detroit Metro Times in 2004. Maddern and Tovbin are prolific songwriters and together cut their teeth at a number of venues throughout Michigan as Amazon Blonde as well as with other acts including the Gene-n-Tonics™ performing at the Magic Bag, Alvins, Jacobys, Temple Room, New Way Bar, Elbow Room, Stray Cat Lounge and more. The Duo engaged CoccoMusic as the producer in 2015 and signed with Entity Records in 2016.

KagyBee™ just completed a 30-minute live performance video, as well as a behind the scenes video both shot on CoccoMusic’s 148 South Street Studios live sound stage, and which includes four songs from their upcoming release.

Album Reviews Dimitri Kovachev – So Intensified by Patrick Ross

Rating: ★

★ ★ 1/2

Based out of Orlando, Florida composer, producer and music publisher Dimitri Kovachev’s works can be found in musicals, television, and film. His compositional stylings include pop, top 40, new age, R&B, jazz, smooth jazz, folklore, soundtracks, and classical music. In 1982 in Sofia, Bulgaria he won the National Contest for Youth Pop Composers and has since that time written over 250 songs for many top singers and instrumentalist. Many of these became hit songs in the 1980’s in Bulgaria, while some have sold over 250,000 copies. In 1987 and 1988 Dimitri composed many cover songs for the Melody of the Year National Television Show. His music is part of the Golden Music Library of National Radio in Sofia, Bulgaria.

His latest musical release “So Intensified” is a collection of smooth jazz instrumentals which showcases his composition and production talents featuring guitarist John Valeri on many of the cuts. The album sets the mood for quiet and unobtrusive instrumentals that sit in the background of any occasion in the tradition of smooth jazz music. There is definitely a touch of European flavor and mood to the music, and the melodies are simple, but effectively blended with hints of new age and pop stylings thrown into the mix. The tone is often light and effusive of quiet romantics evening and dinner music. So if your musical taste appeals to quiet background music this album’s for you. http://www.dimitrik.com/bio.html www.dimitrik.com https://www.facebook.com/Dimitri-K-448856081836475/ http://www.dimitrik.com/so_intensified.html So Intensified: https://youtu.be/67CyJDYpra4 Alhambra: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4G3irr11UBs&feature=youtu.be We will get by: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=71LdTwfaC3U CD Baby: http://cdbaby.com/cd/dimitrik1
