*20 downtempo rhythms with titles that focus on the environment

Vanese Smith also known as music producer Pursuit Grooves,
received a Holistic Health certificate in 2005 after wanting
to learn more about how our daily actions including what we
do and how we eat not only affect us as individuals
but contribute to the overall welfare of the community. In
2009, there has never been more of an urgency to spread the
word about how every action toward sustainable living will
slow the process of the negative effects on the future.
The share date for Sustainable Movements for A New Age is
timed for April in honor of Earth Day.

"13 Track CD by this NY based producer. Various instrumental hiphop- and offbeat productions on a heavy head noddin' tip with solid beats, fresh strings & basslines. The last track has her MC ing over her beats .. daamn! Tip!"
++ Rush Hour store review
"Currently residing in Brooklyn New York, female producer Pursuit Grooves delivers what we consider to be a truly sublime journey into experimental beats and grooves; sending out a sound that much like life itself presents moments that are energetic, melancholic, angular, soft, invigorating and soothing; but above all engrossing. This album is a real beat odyssey from start to finish revealing hints of Jazz, fused with the sparks of the Detroit tech pioneers along with explorations into instrumental hip hop and all things broken; so the producer's aim to "Seek, Hunt and Capture Your Ears" is effortlessly achieved...Music for heads, hearts and feet!"

Hey! I copped the RBMA CD when I was at the Flying Lotus info/session and first thing I noticed on the cover was you and I went in the playlist to track down the track you made and listened... AMAZING! God bless.
