For those that don’t know, Wavefiles is a party in Amsterdam that is setting the trend. In the past they have brought artists like fLako, Stwo, Samiyam, Om Unit, IAMNOBODI, 813 and Chloe Martini to the Dutch capitol. And now it’s Evil Needle‘s turn to strut his stuff. The next edition will take place tomorrow at OT301 with local support from Jarreau Vandal (Soulection) and Sojuju (Flow-Fi).

Luck has it we are giving away some tickets. So if you and a friend would like to go, click this link and follow the description! For those that are not so lucky to be able to catch Evil Needle’s show at Wavefiles, don’t worry. Enjoy his track “Antidote” of the last Soulection compilation.

Attention ladies and gentlemen. We are giving away 1 super exclusive vinyl edition of Jakarta Records‘ wonderful “Summer In Jakarta” compilation album. Only 49 were made with handmade covers by skor72 and only a handful are given away in selected contests like this one. A single copy was auctioned off this weekend, for a hefty amount, with proceeds going to Doctors Without Borders.

The Summer In Jakarta compilation contains previously unreleased material from Ta-Ku, 20syl, IAMNOBODI, Suff Daddy, Mura Masa, Flofilz, Guts and many others. It’s available digitally for free download and a selected few got their hands on some free cassette tapes as well.

All you have to do is visit the following link and follow two simple steps. A winner will be announced on Friday via Facebook and Twitter.

A while ago we told you about Danish producer Terry Tester and how you should watch this cat. Well earlier this week he released his debut solo EP, “Horses & Diamonds”, on Mixed Ape Music / Playground Music consisting of mostly instrumental music. On our favorite song (which we’re streaming below) we find Buscrates 16-bit Ensemble & Geeman the Grand Ear from Pittsburgh pitching in. The artwork was done by Tokio Aoyama and I think it looks really tight. To purchase this one go to or look for it at your local records shop.

Since Terry was nice enough to send us some vinyl copies, we decided to give away 1 EP to you guys. All you have to do to win is leave a comment telling us why you’d like to win this record. Make sure you use a working email address so we can get in touch if you win.

Never heard of Rashad nor Confidence before, but Evil Needle did a nice little ‘golden era’ sounding remix for their “The City” joint. Apparently there’s a remix contest going on as we speak (submissions due April 30th), but more info on that over at 2dopeboyz. Free download of Floran’s remix is available right now, right HERE!

Dear visitors,

WE NEED YOUR HELP!!

The time has come to moov forward. We have a lot of new ideas for the future, but without you we wouldn’t be where we are today. Not only would we like to get to know you a little better, we’d also like to gather more information about your wants and needs regarding the site. Now we rarely ask you for any favors and I think these 18 questions are not going to kill you. It will probably take 10 minutes of your time and 1 lucky person will be rewarded as well.

We’re giving away 1 Moovmnt t-shirt (available in sizes S-XXL), a couple of Moovmnt stickers and 1 record/CD of choice (max value 25 euro) from the Rush Hour shop. The main reason why we’re doing this survey is because we are finally going to launch a new site soon and we’re thinking about offering some extra services too. By the way this survey/contest ends on March 30th.

EDIT: Thank you all so much. Results are in and now we just have to process the data. A winner was picked randomly (congrats no. 114) and was just contacted. We’d love to see a picture of you in your Moovmnt tee, holding your prize 🙂

Last week we brought you part 1 of Robert Glasper Experiment‘s “Move Love” remix contest. Two fresh new remixes from Vlooper and Union caught our attention this week. Oh remember submissions are due Monday in case you still want to enter the contest.

Find all the details on www.indabamusic.com and get to remixing this incredibly beautiful song featuring KING! You’d better hurry, because submissions are due February 20th.

Exclusive Brazil Giveaway:

I remember visiting London for the first time when I was just 14. Me and the homie Mr. Speak jumped on a plane and went digging for records mainly. Most of the record stores we visited then, don’t exist anymore. Happy to still have those memories though. That Reggae shop was one of my favorite spots that trip and Mr Bongo was located in the same building if I remember correctly.

Now Mr Bongo recently launched their brand new website and online store. To celebrate this, they’ve put together a 10-track sampler containing the finest of the current Mr Bongo sound. They’re giving this away as a freebie via their Bandcamp page for the next 30 days…so hurry up and download.

Almost two decades later I still have love for Mr Bongo because they’ve been rereleasing some incredible albums from Brazil. They’re even in the process of launching their first venture within Brazil so we can expect even more beautiful exclusive music to come our way. One of our favorite albums rereleased on Mr Bongo this year is without a doubt Cravo & Canela‘s “Preço De Cada Um”. Take a look at their impressive catalogue while you’re at it.

In celebration of their new site we’ve been given the opportunity to give away 3 x CD’s and 3 x LP’s of our favorite Mr. Bongo rerelease to our visitors (that’s you). So if you would like to WIN one of these Cravo & Canela CD’s or LP’s for FREE here’s what you have to do.

1. Send an email to info@moovmnt.com (before Nov. 25 2011) and tell us why you need to win this album.

2. Don’t forget to mention to put ‘Mr Bongo’ in the subject title and also put ‘CD’ or ‘LP’ in there so we’ll know what your preference is.

3. Increase your changes of winning by placing a comment…yes I will check. All winners will be contacted late next week!
