The Feeling Sound Podcast

My name is Mark Reeson, and you’re listening to The Feeling Sound Podcast. I have a passion for all things music, and that’s what this podcast is all about. I want this podcast to explore the deep connection that people have with music. A love of music is fundamental to my own life. Music inspires me; It relaxes me; It motivates me; It excites me. Above all, it fascinates me. The depth that music can take you emotionally is incredible. I simply cannot imagine my life without music in it, and I am not alone. I want to find out how the whole diversity of artistes, technicians.

    Michael B Sutton

    Hello and welcome to another episode of the Feeling Sound Podcast.  We’re delighted to have you with us for this special episode, brought to you once again with the generous support of Kanaval Consultancy—An independent law firm specialising in corporate, commercial, and intellectual property legal services. Today, we’re taking a trip down memory lane with a true musical legend, Michael B Sutton. Sutty, as he’s known, spent seven incredible years as a staff producer and writer at Motown Records, where he collaborated with some of the biggest heavyweights in the music industry. Discovered by none other than Stevie Wonder himself, Sutty has composed and produced for icons like Michael Jackson, Jermaine Jackson, Smokey Robinson, Cheryl Lynn, and many more. With a career spanning over four decades, his portfolio boasts over 300 tracks, including the disco classic ‘Down to Love Town’ by The Originals.But Sutty isn’t slowing down.  Along with his wife Anissa, he has embarked on a campaign of new releases seeking to revive some of the classic sounds of that vibrant disco era—all infused with the uplifting Motown sound of the 1970s and the therapeutic qualities that funk brings with it.  This 'Funk Therapy,' as Michael calls it, is a true celebration of the healing power of music.We had the privilege of catching up with Sutton online at his Los Angeles studio, and we kicked things off by asking him about his earliest musical memories

    Gregg Deal of The Dead Pioneers

    Gregg Deal is a proud member of the Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribe.  He is a multi-disciplinary artist and activist, and he often describes himself as a "disruptor."  Through his artworks, paintings, murals, performance work, filmmaking, spoken word, and more, Deal invites the viewer to confront critiques of American society, politics, popular culture and history. He describes his work as honouring Indigenous experiences, challenging stereotypes, and pushing for accurate representations of Indigenous people in art.  Suffice it to say, it’s powerful stuff. It was a direct result of this one of these "disruptions", a gritty art installation performance piece entitled “The Punk Pan-Indian Romantic Comedy”, which saw him establish the band, Dead Pioneers, Gregg Deal of the Dead Pioneers with the intent to create original music for the performance piece, and beyond.  The Dead Pioneers' first single, “Bad Indian” was heavily influenced by Gregg’s Indigenous voice, and solidly built on a “First Peoples” perspective.  The band aren’t afraid to tackle hard political and social issues, standing in solidarity with Indigenous rights, Black rights, Brown rights, Asian rights, Gay rights, Trans rights, Workers rights and beyond.  Dead Pioneers hits hard, with plenty of original material— From songs to spoken word with punk riffs.  We managed to line up an opportunity to speak online to Gregg at his Colorado home, where we asked him about his musical journey so far, his thoughts on the direction of The Dead Pioneers and above all else, what music means to him …
