"The contents of this mini-refrigerator include the final recorded output of Nashville's soul-jazz champions, the Coolin' System. Recorded on Memorial Day 2012, this session represents the peak of a 7 piece band that lit up the catalog of GED Soul Records with their finely-tuned, straight to tape sessions. The band members all moved on to even greater things, and the session remained locked in the vaults. Until now! Tackling classic deep-cut tunes by Horace Silver, Jimmy McGriff, Lou Donaldson, Cedar Walton, and many more, this record mixes a fierce funk attack with movements that take the listener straight into outer space. By the end of the classic Keith Mansfield tune, 'Soul Thing,' you will want to flip this record right back to Side A and start it all over again." Includes download code.

"From the opening bars of their debut LP you can tell AJ and the Jiggawatts came to play rough. In a world where mid tempo and middle of the road soul permeates the airwaves, this crew of G.E.D. soul killers are drawing a line in the sand by making soul music that hits harder, faster, and nastier than just about anyone in the game today. AJ Eason's gin soaked vocal howls drop with a carefree carousing not unlike that of a street smart hustler making moves to make ends meet. The band follows suit with highly syncopated melodies, often at breakneck speed, all while maintaining an almost inhuman tightness. Toss all of these elements into a highball glass and garnish with a pinch of rock 'n' roll soul and you've got the makings for a serious raw soul cocktail."

"I'm Tryin' focuses primarily on musical layers as well as the bands signature brand of syncopated soul. Each instrument fits in uniquely within the beat, always remaining tastefully simple and refined. The result of almost two years in the studio shows a talented combo who are growing up and developing unique approaches to old school soul music created in the modern era. I'm Tryin' is a new record with a modern approach to soul vocals while holding a firm grip on the rhythmic groove and melodic aesthetic of the old days. For anyone who is a fan of the new school of raw soul revivalists, don't sleep on this killer record from DeRobert & The Half-Truths, and G.E.D. Soul Records."

"The original raw soul record from G.E.D. Soul is finally available. This slice of raw soul was recorded at the original Poor Man Studios in Murfreesboro, TN and contains within its grooves the rough and tough sounds that caught deep funk fan's attention all the way back in 2007. This wax treat features The Grips (the precursor to DeRobert and The Half-Truths) and introduces DeRobert Adams on the plug side. The flip side 'Fancy Roll' is possibly one of the meanest funk instrumentals committed to 1/4 inch tape."

"The lofty burner on the A- side, 'I Got Burned' highlights the group's knack for throwing a raw soul lean on modern subject matter. DeRobert's powerful vocals are complemented nicely by the toughest of beats and hardest of grooves. On the B-side the band has a chance to stretch out with the tasty instrumental 'Nashville Country Bump.' This joint features a nasty little groove complimented by some honkey tonkin' guitar."

"Magic in Threes are back with a pair of ultra smooth tunes. As the official follow up to the group's 2011 self titled long player, this hefty platter features the Mi3 signature instrumental sound. 'Summertime Strut' is a rolling mid tempo jam with the playful feel of a musical stroll in the park. Utilizing some heady sounding vintage synthesizers, it has the old school flavor we've all come to crave from a G.E.D. Soul/ Magic in Threes release."

"AJ & The Jiggawatts make a bold statement on their debut 7" for G.E.D. Soul Records. This platter features two raw funk dancefloor killers! 'Don't Mess With Me' is a hard hitting slab of soul with some truly intriguing intonation. Front man/ entertainer AJ Eason's gritty vocals cut through the rhythm section's groove like a stone cold dagger! On the flip is 'Pimp Decisions', an uptempo burner that will no doubt become the mortal enemy of any soul music lover's dancing shoes."

"Just like it's title, 'Junkyard Dog' is a mean hard funk number featuring Dee rocking the mic and Sky Hi's renowned four man horn section doing what they do best: laying down a blistering trail of killer horn licks. On the B-side, Dee gives the band a chance to showcase some blazing solos on this straight-up nasty funk instrumental!"

"The new album from Nashville modern funk collective, Sky Hi, is a testament to the group's longevity. Nearing their tenth year, the band has weathered every manner of lineup changes and reinvented themselves more than a few times. But the current lineup, as it stands, brings something very special to the table. A slew of different styles and influences converge to create something palpable and unique. It has the grit and the raw essence of old school hard soul but also liberal splashes of modernity."

"Nashville soul-jazz heavyweights the Coolin' System return with their sophomore 7" on G.E.D. Soul Records. This smoking 45 features two tracks recorded during the band's residency in G.E.D. Soul's Poor Man Studios for their self titled debut full length. The A side showcases a scorching rendition of Eddie Harris's 'I Need Some Money' featuring A.J. Eason, the label's resident soul shouter holding down vocal duties. The Coolin' System's above average musicians and A.J. Eason's rough and tough vocal performance make this Eddie Harris tribute stand toe to toe with the original."

LP version. "G.E.D. Soul Records proudly presents the Magic in Threes, a collection of eccentrically crafted, smoked out, locked out psychedelic soul recordings. The goal of this record was to simultaneously capture the essence of 70s library music, and Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book. Over the course of the sessions, the album transformed into an amalgamation of styles from Latin joints to melodious expeditions into mystical soul music. This is the perfect record for a lazy day. Could it be the soundtrack to a movie that may not exist? Could it be an instrument to clear the mind of all distractions? It's definitely an intriguing journey into the outer reaches of what a funk record is supposed to be. Simply put, this album is dressed to impress. Featuring an all-star cast of G.E.D. Soul players, movers, and shakers, the Magic in Threes know how to let it simmer." Includes MP3 download.

LP version. "In a city renowned for its country music scene, it takes a sharp group of musicians outside of the box to garner very much attention. Yet, a band like Nashville's the Coolin' System does it handily (and with a significant amount of style to spare). G.E.D. Soul Records is pleased to be the home for this Music City soul-jazz super group's debut full length. The self titled album features choice interpretations of deep cuts from some of the genre's greatest heavy weights. Jack McDuff, Richard 'Groove' Holmes, Eddie Harris and others get the 'system' treatment on this soul-jazz tour de force recorded live in the studio in the spirit of a jazz recording. Heavy on grooves and solid interplay between musicians gives this record the feel of being transported to a smoky jazz club back in the day." Includes MP3 download.

"Soul In a Digital World, the debut album from G.E.D. Soul Records' house band DeRobert & The Half-Truths, is a slice of soulful indulgence. DeRobert possesses a bold voice that manages to reside somewhere between Donny Hathaway and Al Green, yet remains unique and original. The Half-Truths are the band behind the man, providing solid backing that sounds like it was built for the sole purpose of complimenting Mr. DeRobert. Known for having a Chicago and Philly soul lean, DeRobert & The Half-Truths have been described as 'Syl Johnson meets MFSB.' G.E.D. Soul Records is proud to present DeRobert & The Half-Truths' debut album Soul In a Digital World, fourteen tracks of some of the heaviest raw soul to come out of Music City."
