In preparation of releasing his upcoming “Mechanical Soul” EP on Jus Like Music, BUG presented us with the opportunity to offer you this crazy funk joint “Astral Love Affair” as an exclusive free download! You might have already heard this one in our “The Future of Funk” mix a few weeks ago and now’s your chance to grab it. Next week more on BUG and his new EP which will be available digitally via all major online stores!

Something like four months ago, Soia (vocals) & MEZ (production) put the song “Obtaining” on their Soundcloud. It was only until a few weeks ago that the homie Front2blaq made me aware of this one. The Vienna-based artists are currently working together on their upcoming EP set to release next year. Kinda reminds me a little of some ’07 Kissey Asplund stuff, which is neither good nor bad. It just is. Oh well…again we slept on something for a while. That’s what these Sundays are for right?!

Another nice production from Manchester-based producer Mecca:83 that goes by the name of “Love Story”. Nothing mind-blowing or anything, but I think this has a nice bounce to it. Available on a ‘name your price’ basis (or for free!) on his bandcamp page.

Last month Benny Tones told me to watch out for some new Julien Dyne music and behold. His newly released single on BBE includes two tracks, “Candy Apple Grey” and “Get Closer” on flipside, plus a little Christoph El Truento remix as well. For me it’s all about the b-side featuring She’s So Rad and not so much about the a-side. Visit the BBE shop for a purchase and keep in mind that his second album “Glimpse” will be releasing early next year!

Robin Hannibal grew up in Copenhagen and is THE man behind both Quadron and Boom Clap Bachelors. Last year I got his “Bobby” EP, which dropped on Circulations. Honestly I didn’t think it was quite dope enough to post about, so I decided to let this one slide. Now more than a year later I get this email from Plug Research about how they’re re-releasing the EP so to speak. Wasn’t all that interested until I heard this one bonus track that made me change my mind. You can still cop a vinyl copy at Rush Hour or go for a digital download including bonus track at .

Volume two in the LA loves Japan trilogy was compiled by Hashim B and is again intended to raise money for all the victims of the earthquake in the land of the rising sun. For just $10 you get a whopping 26-track comp with music from Grooveman Spot, TOKiMONSTA, Mabanua, RLP, Monkey_sequence19, MFP and many others. Took me a while to get my hands on “LA♥JPN♥LA” Vol. 2, but I can tell you it’s just as dope as “LA♥JPN♥LA” Vol. 1. It came out today and is available on the Japanese  and on Boomkat. Watch out for the third and final edition and please show some support.

Wasn’t quite sure if I should post this one or not, but whenever something gives me goosebumps I just go with my gut feeling. London singer/songwriter/cellist Ayanna released her new EP entitled “Truthfully” yesterday. Honestly this sent chills down my spine even though it’s not a style of music I would normally listen to. Ayanna wrote and arranged all songs herself, but got a little help on the productional side from Marc Mac (4hero). The song that stood out for me was “Let Me Go” with Robert Mitchell on piano. This gorgeous EP is available HERE.

Doing it in the park, doing it after dark oh yeah. So Oddisee‘s latest edition of what you’ve been missing is called “Rock Creek Park”. Heard a few other songs of the album, but when I heard “Mattered Much” featuring Olivier Daysoul and “Beach Dr.” I was truly impressed. Here’s two of those songs that can only be defined as beautiful. “Mattered Much” was actually not intended for the album, but Oddisee dug it out, realized it was meant to be on there after all and added the vocals to it. In case you were wondering it’s Andy Faus on guitar and Lucan’s Pipkin on strings. Oh and make sure to grab this free download and buy the whole album over at if you like what you’re hearing!
