"Up next on my producer-to-watch (listen?) list is the phenomenally talented, feel-good, sunshine-ridden sounds of Elijah Colburn. The South Carolina native, who used to produce under the name Mourning Sickness, serves up some serious groove-oriented solar-funk tracks like they were pancakes at IHOP- all day... I pick up a slight west-coast Dr. Dre thing from a lot of his music and it wouldn’t have surprised me if a young Snoop Dog’s voice had bust up in the mix while I was listening to a few of his songs. We wrote back and forth a little and when asked about his current material and upcoming projects he replied “My material has always fluctuated with degrees of live recordings and sampled material, but now I am really trying to feel out the balance between those elements. The projects to come are more thought through than my previous tunes under the guise of Mourning Sickness. Not to downplay my previous efforts, but rather I mean I have put more of myself forth as I have been working with these projects. Some collaborations, some individual work, but 100% soul inspired.” MishkaNYC Bloglin, "Soul'd Out with Elijah Colburn" Fall 2012
