    It’s always fun when we receive music in the mail from artists we don’t know but get us nodding with the first beat of their songs. The newest act getting us smiling is Niles Mason & The United Nations.

    The group was founded by Michael White (Niles Mason) and Jonny Fung. Under the alias Niles Mason, Michael White has written and sung vocals for some of the Top EDM Dj's, including David Guetta, Afrojack and Avicci. He’s also written for Tamela Mann, Monica and Toni Braxton. But it was his connection with producer Jonny Fung that gave us the music we’re featuring today.

    “Up 2 Paradise,” is a rhythmic jam that recalls Earth, Wind & Fire and even some of the acid jazz acts of the 80s. But it has a groove that will get you moving. Niles tells us, "Jazz, R&B, Soul, Gospel, and Funk are the ingredients that enrich the pot of musical salvation in ‘Up 2 Paradise.’ It has been ripened to near perfection and is sure to satisfy the taste buds of music lovers of all ages."

    We’re looking forward to hearing more from Niles Mason and company, but for now we’ll enjoy being in “Paradise.”
