One of the most inspiring individuals I’m blessed to call a friend in this life, Sir Manley, just released a collection of previously unheard instrumental music. I am just now listening to the project as I type… Here’s an explanation of the project from the man himself.

This project is an attempt to showcase the progress and growth of my production experience. None of these tracks have been mixed, they are all in raw form either a single fruity loop, magix, cool edit, cubase export. Instead of having these sit on my computer I decided to create this series of Leftovers. Sir Manley -5/20/2012

Also, here’s a link to Never Lost Touch, an EP produced by Sir Manley, featuring Thesis on vocals and DJ Eminent behind the turntables.

Here’s a new Your Song… I’m told Dwight listens to the track every morning as motivation. I can’t wait to meet him in person.

Please check it out and consider donating purchasing the song for $5 or a price of your choice to support a fellow human in need. Below is some information regarding Dwight’s accident and recovery taken from his bandcamp. To learn even more about his journey join Dwight’s Army.

This track was written by Rick Chyme and Ryan K. Wilson (with support from Epic Happens and Dan Pancy) about Dwight Lewis. In December of 2011, he had a life-threatening accident which resulted in a coma and traumatic brain injury. Unemployed and uninsured at the time of his accident, Dwight has incurred numerous bills. The proceeds from this track will benefit Dwight in his long road to recovery. We hope that this song will be an inspiration to anyone who is dealing with a traumatic brain injury. There is hope.

Charity: Team in Training (Leukemia and Lymphoma Society)

Team in Training is a fund raising program for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society

Proceeds from the show will go towards the The Bayshore 1/2 Marathon on May 26th. Team in Training has raised over $1.2 billion to fund lifesaving cancer research. 74 cents of every dollar will go to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, the rest goes to funding the races, which helps keep Team in Training possible. (100% of the money gets sent to LLS and they then give back to Team in Training.)

The mission of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) is: Cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin’s disease and myeloma, and improve the quality of life of patients and their families.

LLS is the world’s largest voluntary health agency dedicated to blood cancer. LLS funds lifesaving blood cancer research around the world and provides free information and support services.
