So we’re getting closer and closer to the release of Scratcha DVA‘s “Pretty Ugly” album which will be available April 19th on Hyperdub. Together with vocalist Natalie Maddix he made this video, shot during a power cut in London. Very curious about this project!

The one they call ARP101 is no mystery to us and most likely not to you guys either. In the past we’ve posted about this dope London-based producer and it is with great pleasure, we can tell you Eglo Records is giving away “Mystery Man” as a free download on their Bancamp page in celebration of Eglo’s 3 year anniversary party at Fabric next week.

Shout out to Soulection for putting out some newness once again. This time it’s Grand Rapids resident Sango who releases his “Trust Me” EP. Now I gotta say straight from the bat that this release is not entirely our thing. However though, we were pleasantly suprised with Sango’s “Lovely” which we featured on our 2nd “Gimmering Fractions” mix as well.

Today is the day that the Darkhouse Fam lads from Cardiff officially release their “In & Out” EP on Earnest Endeavours. Been bumping this for a while now and very nice to hear Om’Mas Keith on some freaky shit again. Also like the “Sticky Trees” interlude with Vanity Jay and of course nothing can beat that stunning B. Bravo collaboration entitled “Like No Other”. I’m not saying this just because Adam is my homie, but honestly everything I’ve been hearing lately has just been straight butter. This dude can do no wrong! Make sure you pick up this EP on or buy 12-inces of pleasure at Rush Hour.

“Breathtaking sparkles, glimmering fractions. What melodical madness causes such satisfaction?”

Part two of our monthly “Glimering Fractions” mix is a fact. February’s birthstone is ‘Amethyst, which by Ancient Greeks was believed to protect the wearer against getting drunk. Had to leave out a few songs, so that’s why it came out 10 minutes shorter than expected. Hope you all dig it and if so be so kind to share it. It’s available for download on our Soundcloud page or you can stream it via Mixcloud as well.

Late last night when I was vast asleep, Mister Bibal upped a little taste of his upcoming “Failure” album onto his Soundcloud. A few days ago I listened to the entire album and it was sounding very promising indeed. Enjoy “Demonstration” featuring Black Spade for the moment, because you’ll have to wait a few more weeks for the album to drop via True Flav. You can however already pre-order a limited handmade, signed CD copy over at www.misterbibal.com.

It’s been a while since we posted some new Devonwho stuff, but since he’s releasing his “Strangebrew” EP on All City next month, we thought we’d keep you in the know. My homeboy B. Bravo keeps murdering shit every single time with his distinct Cali sound and again his remix is crack-a-lackin’. Devon’s 12″ is already available for pre-order at Rush Hour or wait a bit longer for it to hit your local record shop.

Yes, yes…finally it’s here. A monthly selection of gems for everyone to enjoy in the form of a 1 hour mix (give or take a few minutes). Since the number 12 is also known as the number for perfection, we have chosen a birthstone for each month. So if you’re into diamonds by the dozen or you like rubies in the rough,  you’re in the right place.
January’s birthstone is the Garnet. It’s name comes from the 14th century Middle English word, gernet, meaning ‘dark red’. Enjoy our first mix of the year and spread the word if you dig this.

Seravince consists of producer/keyboard player Vincent Helbers and drummer Richard Spaven who have been working together for quite some time now. The band is heavily influenced by Jazz, Soul, Hip Hop and as you can hear Broken Beat. Their upcoming album, “Hear To See”, will have guest vocals from Renee Neufville (Zhane) and Sharlene Hector. When we got the opportunity to share this unreleased song entitled, “Unrequited Love”, featuring Renee Neufville with you guys we were more than happy to do so. Sit back and enjoy this lovely song. Oh in case you’re in the neighborhood. This Friday the whole band, including Renee Neufville and Sharlene Hector, will be performing live at BIRD in Rotterdam!

I’m sure almost everybody here knows who SBTRKT is, but in case you don’t here’s the 411. Aaron Jerome aka SBTRKT began his career at Plastic People in London and has had a steadily growing fan-base eversince. For all these music fans, he decided to share a previously unreleased song from 2009. I can say without a doubt that “Atomic Peace” is one of the favorite musical treats I’ve heard so far from SBTRKT. Never really felt the need to post about this guy, but after having heard this I think it’s about time to do so.
