Seven Steps For Better Listening Mix

Here's something that can keep the blues away if your country has left Euro2012 too early.
Created by dj and producer duo Sebo Sellout & Flow One, who have dished up a delicious chopped, looped, cut and paste mix of rare and hard-to-find records from all over the globe varying from scout troop flutes, psychedelic folk and exotic funk served up with amusing vocal clips in what they call a 'modern, multi-track break and sample mix' Apparently 12 months in the making this is the duo's  first mix together and well worth the wait in our opinion....Recommended and a D/L for pimping in ya wheels!

Love tha Labels

Head over to bandcamp and receive some gem tunes from the Label Love collective of imprints now on vol 3..Another beautifully compiled sampling of unreleased music from some of the best independent labels worldwide. An eclectic yet unified bundle of unique sounds compiled simply for the love of sharing them with the universe - each track plucked and presented by label heads from DeconRecords, FatBeats, One-Handed Music, Stones Throw, Tru Thoughts, Wah Wah 45s, and Wax Poetics. A Troll’s Soiree for me.. nJoy!.

Who IS?

There is currently, a documentary in progress called the Roy Ayers Project featuring the Man himself, as well as many hip-hop producers who have sampled his music and other people who have been influenced by him and his music. The documentary is planned to be released in early 2012. Keep your ears to tha ground, i can`t wait for this!

Feel For Bumps

Some more freeness from the quality CUT netlabel, now on release number 04 is the "Feel For Bumps EP" by Bristolian producer Bryn Thomas who brings us something a little more beats orientated. A simple mix of up-front soulful hip hop beats, borderline wonky, catchy synths and a sprinkle of downtempo vibes....always xcelent output from the stable and one that surely needs supporting in these difficult times...Drop some coinage for the EP on the bandcamp page.

ATCQ on screen

Just caught the sundance screener of the new docu-film directed by Michael Rapaport Beats Rhymes and Life: The Travels Of a Tribe Called Quest, charting the band's triumphant and turbulent 20-year career. ATCQ has been one of the most commercially successful and artistically significant musical groups in recent history, and regarded as iconic pioneers of hip hop. A must see travel around the groups up & downs.
I can still remember the buzz around the basement of the newly opened Black Market records in SoHo, London when their "Description of a Fool" promo dropped in the UK..

From July 8th around the US and soon the world!!
