Just realized that Hawthorne Headhunters‘ full-length album “Myriad of Now” released today on Plug Research. There’s some nice new music on here as well as some older stuff as well, I remember “Luv Galactic” finding it’s way to us a few years back and I could swear DaM-FunK had a feature on there as well. A song I hadn’t heard before, but immediatly stood out is “Sum People Don’t Change”. Thanks to the good people of Plug Research for giving away “Yellow Cougar” as a free download. Go ahead and buy the full-length album on , it’s pretty good.

Imma be honest…sometimes we miss the days of Sa-Ra Creative Partners. As I went through my HD, I came across this old song from Common and Sa-Ra entitled “So Cool”. This was a UK-only bonus track off Common’s “Be” album in 2005. Should’ve gotten a lot more attention if you ask me! Perfect Slept on Easter Sunday right? Enjoy the holidays..

This is almost getting boring man. Time after time Tall Black Guy keeps droppin’ bombs on us. Terrel made another dope ass remix for Canada-based Maylee Todd‘s song “Hieroglyphics” which dropped in February on Do Right! Music and is available on .

Almost forgot about Kan Sano‘s “Bha” EP. Almost but not quite! After having put “Sweet Baby” featuring The Funkallero in our last “Glimmering Fractions” mix, how can I not tell you about his EP that came out yesterday? It sounds to me that Kan wanted to experiment a little on this EP, but you tell us what you think about it. It’s available on so take a gander for yourselves.

A promise is a promise is a promise! It’s that time of the week again and I’m not talking about church. The third consecutive Slept on Sundays is a fact after a long leave of absence. Today we have an oldie from Innerzone Orchestra featuring Paul Randolph. Their version of “People Make The World Go Round” came out around 2000 on Planet E and contained a few remixes from J88, Ta’Raach and Kenny Dixon Jr. We thought we’d share the J88 remix with you since it’s down right nasty!

Soulection just released a nice project with Moreno Valley MC Pheo. All for the love, quality & conscious music. In other words free of charge. Of course donations are most welcome to show your support. Some nice productions on this EP by the way from Christoph El Truento, AFTA-1, Alf Alpha and Tek Nalo G. We picked out “Real Old Cigar” produced by Christoph El Truento, but it’s best if you listen to the entire EP yourselves over at the Soulection Bandcamp.

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

Times flies I tell ya! Already time for part three of our monthly “Glimering Fractions” mix. March’s birthstone is Bloodstone (see our Soundcloud page for a little more info). Tried to fill almost an hour again with nothing but audible niceness. If you’re feeling this, please be so kind to share it. It’s available for download on our Soundcloud page or you can stream it via Mixcloud as well.

What can we say about Georgia Anne Muldrow‘s new album entitled “Seeds”? The single really had me wondering what more was to come. But when I listened to the rest of the album (fully produced by Madlib) last month, it didn’t feel all that magical to me. I might have had too high expectations perhaps. Not saying it’s a bad album, but it’s not incredibly dope either. Some nice tracks here and there, but that little snuff of magic is not there. Explore the album for yourself on , cuz you might find some of that magic.
