Today a legend told his story to a select group of people and we were lucky enough to be there. Tony Allen is undeniably the best Afrobeat drummer ever and he came all the way to Amsterdam for a Red Bull Music Academy masterclass .

Now RBMA was so nice to give us 20 copies of their “Various Assets” (Barcelona 2008) CD’s to give away to our very own Moovmnt visitors. The CD also contains application info for artists interested in signing up for the RMBA 2010 in London. Leave a comment saying why you should get a copy of the Various Assets CD or ADD us to twitter and DM us! You can also send an email to contact@moovmnt.com, but people that leave a comment and our twitter buddies get first dibs!

The Fatima & Dorian Concept joint is from the Various Assets album and we had to hook ya’ll up with some brand new Zap Mama music with Tony Allen and Meshell Ndegeocello from the new “ReCreation” album.

Ever since “The Oscillations: Sine” it’s been a bit quiet around DC’s hottest female vocalist. Muhsinah explained us that this is an oldie and nothing ever actually happened with “Plan B”. We thought this Kev Brown Mix was way too nice to just remain on the shelves for an eternity. Bilal Salaam supposedly did a remix too, but we haven’t heard that one yet. Mad shout outs to Rehes and Muhsinah for this one. Don’t forget to buy miss Sinah’s music HERE!

Yesterday Rapper Big Pooh released the “North American Pie” version of “Delightful Bars” after having released the “Candy Apple” version via iTunes last in March. Now “Reality Check” is a Khrysis produced track off the new version that I really really love featuring Big Dho, D-Black & Mykestro. Thanks to OnSmash and support Big Pooh by buying his album HERE.

German beatmaker fLako hooked up with New Orleans based Vocalist Noir.  Since their titlesong “milkyway” (which was in their myspace player since 2007)  we’ve been waitin for this release. Thanks to Kwatro for the heads up, and make sure you check out the fLako beattape. You can download the fLako X Noir tape HERE.

So much good music, so little time! It happens to the best of us…we often sleep on artists or specific songs for many reasons. We would like to use “Slept on Sundays” as a weekly reminder and it can also be an eye-opener for us. Every Sunday we’ll be introducing you to either a slept on artist, album or song (whether it be an exclusive, b-side or soundtrack exclusive).

For us it’s nice to be able to dig back a little and off course we’d love you to send us music for Slept on Sundays as well! Don’t be shy, but don’t be sending us your demo tapes or nothing. That’s not what this is about. Let us know what you think of these weekly posts and don’t be shy…we’d like to hear your honest opinion.

A couple of months ago I stumbled onto this new soul singer called Anam Owili-Eger and I thought he sounded a bit like Donnie – who happens to have dropped one of my all time favorite albums “The Colored Section” – and I checked out his album “These Subtle Declarations” which had a couple of nice songs on it. The best track on there is our first Slept on Sundays post so enjoy!

Anam Owili-Eger – The Moment

After such a long time I’m happy to announce that De La is finally back with a new album. I was fortunate enough to meet Posdnuos a couple of years ago and these guys are so humble after more than two decades of making wonderful, concious music. Unfortunately this album is a continuous mix and after five years of waiting I personally hoped for a lot more. On the other hand…it’s a collaboration with Nike+ and was made to enhance your running experience.

I’m not here to tell ya’ll how dope De La Soul is. Nor am I going to tell you the details concerning how this album was created. I just want to tell you to go listen to the music for yourself and buy the “Are You In?” album on iTunes if you decide you like it. We wanted to give you guys a taste so here are the two dopest songs.

De La Soul Feat. Raheem DeVaughn – Rise And Shine

De La Soul – Forever

The Adroit Adventures EP is the first official release of 23 year old beat navigator Paul Movahedi, also known as The Clonious. The EP includes a version of “Fogged Spacesuit”, available only on this release, and an exclusive Dorian Concept remix or “Emora”. Our favorite track of this EP is  “One At A Time”  blessed by the lovely voice of Muhsinah. The EP will be released on Ubiquity Records on June 9th. Big up to DJ Brainchild and HZA
