New music from London based French Producer Kensaye who we have featured here on GFM. Kensaye has put his proverbial spin on the work of another GFM Fave the venerable Nicolay. Turn your speakers up and chill on out to this one!
Hola my GFM fam!!
It’s your girl, WestStyle Chronicles back from another music adventure. Where did my travels lead me you ask? Well, to the front row of the Authenticity Tour with The Foreign Exchange. Always bringing their familiar flair of soul, they also brought their contagious concoction of comedy. Check out some of the pictorial and video highlights from their show at The Masquerade.
By the way, I’m gonna need a “Titties & Jesus Don’t Go Together” T-shirts for Sunday morning service, Phonte. If you give me a few more, I can give them to the “Mother Board # 2″ street team too! LOL! (more…)
Alright concertgoers and FE fans, it’s that anticipated time!!!
Time for the return of The Foreign Exchange, (Phonte + Nicolay) with Zo!, Sy Smith, Jeanne Jolly with the Authenticity Tour Wednesday, November 9th at 7pm in Atlanta at the Masquerade.

And if you’re not in the Atlanta area, here are the upcoming shows coming your way! Get your tickets NOW!! (more…)
GFM fam we wanted to present this great interview with Nicolay of The Foreign Exchange conducted a little over a week ago by Miss Special and Myk Blauuw.
Miss Special is the host and creator of Special Sundays Radio show which broadcasts from San Francisco State University, it’s live Sundays (starting again August 28th) from 2-4pm PST.

and podcasted at
Make sure you checkout the archives of the show here. We are definitely looking forward to presenting more great interviews from Special Sundays Radio.
GFM Fam you already know the recommendation on this one… a must have for the collection. In these parts The Foreign Exchange harkens back to the days when musical products were released under a certain heading, banner, or (gulp) label, where you just knew that the quality of the output was going to be a certain level.
