DOVELHOAONOVO: 2006-2010

5 years of music, music and more music. Discoveries and deep diggin´. Work, a lot of work. We gave our BLOOD to bring you the best in the alternative music scene, no matter if it was jazzy, funky, soulful or poppy, on condition that it was quality. But our formula has worned. That´s why we´re going, focused on migrating to a professional challenge: to help artists being great and shape ´em up for the music market.

But to conduce this we´ll have to think differently. So we decided to close DVAN´s door, cause we trust this will help us to dedicate ourselves entirely to the new stuff.

The life is made of choices, and we´re making ours...

Thanks for your love and devotion, for recognizing our SWEAT.

We´re sure that we did our job, and that we did the best we could, even being flawed sometimes. Thank you all for the BIG support throughout these years!!

Keep Groovin High!!
C U Around!!

WE´LL BE BACK SOON!!

What up folks!! What a long long time, uh!! But after a long hot summer, WE´LL BE BACK!!

We know some people are upset with us for our disappearance, but it was necessary for us to think about CHANGES!!

Well, we think we should have another mentality and it would be a pleasure to share that with you!!

We are certain that the changes will come to help everybody, from our fans to artists!!

We want to promote new talent, artists from any form of expression!! from musicians to DJs, from designers to dancers and so we´ll go!!

That´s why we´re changing our name. But that´s a surprise that you´ll all know from the 1st week of october!!

With this renewed Blog, you´ll be able to register yourself as an artist or a user and send your material from FREE promo!! It can be an audio clip, a video and more!! No fees involved!! We´ll just try to send you to another level: TO TURN YOU KNOWN FOR THE MASSES (OR FOR THE UNDERGROUND, IF YOU PREFER!!)

So, get ready for a new chapter in DVAN´s life!!

It´s a great, great pleasure to be here with you again!! And we hope it can be for a long long time!!

THE IVIES - SUNSHINE / COME ON (1958)

Ok, have something realy rare and realy special for you. J Dilla's father, Beverly Dewitt Yancey, he was probably the single most influential person in Dilla's musical development, had numerous musical groups over the years from their gospel group Positive Force, to their after church group they liked to call the Attitude Adjustment which included a 10 year old Dilla playing snare drum, to their Jazz and Gospel group The Larks, which they just sang with not two years ago. But Mr. Yancey's first group was a Doo Wop group called The Ivies. Vlada recently featured Ivies on Laid Back radio and people loved it. So we decided to give you this present. We would like to say BIG THANKS to Dana Bartle a documentary filmmaker based in New York City (soon interview with her on DVAN), for providing us with Ivies hit Sunshine. Of course, big shout out and best wishes from Global Grooves Collective to Yancey family. We are giving you this track for free, but you should go on amazon and buy CD like we do.

SOUL CYCLE - Mosaic (2009)

Funky brilliance from Soul Cycle, a group with a killer classic blend of Jazz and Soul, one that takes us back to some of our favorite moments of the Bay Area scene of the 70s!! The group's got a few contemporary touches, such as the odd turntable scratch from DJ King James, but most of the instrumentation is live, and Jazz-based, played on Fender Rhodes, organ, saxes, bass, and drums, inflected in really unique ways by a string quartet on a few of the album's tracks. There's a depth here that goes way past the group's initial album, and although the vocals are great, we're especially in love with the instrumentation!!

Tracklisting:

1. Lagos
2. Club Groove
3. Sunset Park
4. Blue In Green feat. Rogiérs
5. Enoki
6. Above The Clouds
7. Simply Beautiful feat. Rogiérs
8. Streets Of Gold
9. Sun Stream

PRINCE SAMPSON - Living In The Moment (2010)

Smooth guitar from Prince Sampson, a hollow-body player who nicely mixes up acoustic and electric tones, often set to mellow stepping rhythms, but in ways that have a lot more depth than the usual mainstream effort of this nature!! There's echoes here of the older Craig T. Cooper mode, but Sampson also has more of a Soul-based vibe at times too, thanks to guest vocals from singers who include Chimaine Sampson, Chris Ballin, Andrew Banfield, and the mighty Noel McKoy!!

Tracklisting:

1. Let The Sunshine Through
2. Living In The Moment
3. The Corner Turns In To An Edge
4. Be Will Be
5. Part Finder
6. Real Love
7. Chill In
8. Harmony In Green
9. Culture Shock
10. Sao Paulo
11. Eyes Of A Child
12. Dream Catcher

RAY GASKINS - A Night In The Life (2009)

Sweet jazzy work from Ray Gaskins, saxophonist, keyboard player, and a surprisingly great singer too, working here in a smooth little set that gives him a chance to show off every side of his talents!! Ray plays a good deal of the instruments on the record himself, overdubbed with a cool sort of groove, and he also gets help from a core rhythm combo too, as well as some hip guest work from Roy Ayers on vibes and Jocelyn Brown on vocals, each of whom guest on a track apiece. The best numbers here have a smooth-stepping groove that's really great, much more stripped-down than the usual mainstream work of this type, and with an undeniably soulful groove that's right up there with other great work on the Expansion label!!

Tracklisting:

1. Ray's Strut
2. Crystal Clear
3. Butterfly
4. Lullabye
5. Naima
6. Ashes To Ashes
7. Never Say Die
8. I Want To Talk About God feat. Jocelyn Brown

MAVIS - Mavis (Ashley Beedle, Darren Morris & Others) (2010)

Mavis isn't the name of an artist, but a special project headed up by UK producer Ashley Beedle, one that draws vague inspiration from the older genius of Mavis Staples, but which also encourages a range of hip contemporary singers to seek out fresh new territory!! The actual sound is a bit hard to describe, but like all of Beedle's previous work, it's completely compelling, and balanced beautifully between classic and future Soul modes, often moving at a slower pace than some of his other projects, with some wonderfully sensitive moments too. Vocals are by Candi Staton, Kurt Wagner, John Turrell, Cerys Matthews, Disa, Chris Coco, Edwyn Collins, Danielle Moore, and others!!

Tracklisting:

1. Gangs Of Rome feat. Kurt Wagner
2. What You Looking For feat. John Turrell
3. Nemesis Required feat. Cerys Matthews
4. Revolution feat. Candi Staton
5. Puzzles & Riddles feat. Ed Harcourt
6. When I Walk With You (Heartbreak Song) feat. Sarah Cracknell
7. Sinful Love feat. Disa
8. Dreamers (Interlude) feat. Chris Coco
9. Let Your Love Shine feat. Danielle Moore
10. 4:14 feat. Cherilyn MacNeil
11. Feeling Lucky feat. Edwyn Collins
12. Revolution feat. Candi Staton (Heavy Soul Extended Mix)
