Almost a decade ago King Britt released his “Adventures in Lo-Fi” album on BBE. There were some great track on there, but one of our favs is “Superstar” featuring Ivana Santilli. Perfect Slept on Sundays track in case you were in need of some nice Soul. In case you don’t have this in you collection yet, I suggest you buy it on or pick up a second hand copy of the vinyl somewhere. There’s definitely some good stuff on here..

I was unfamiliar with Ken Hopkins aka K-Maxx till I stumbled upon this 45″ containing “Superdrunk” & “Love is Comin'” on the Sound Boutique website. It seems like this is some old material from K-Maxx’ 2009 album “The Whole Woo Wop”, but nevertheless this sounds like some slick Bay Area Funk. Thanks to the Frisco’s Sweater Funk family for supporting their local artists.

One of the most positive cats in Hip Hop we’ve met is probably DC’s Oddisee. Both productionally and lyricly he is well equipped as he once more proves on his latest “People Hear What They See” album. Another quality release on Mello Music Group, what more can we say?! Just head over to to cop this one and enjoy the streams below.

Oddisee – Set You Free

Little southern hummingbird Tweet grew a little older and wiser, but man does she still know how to get down! Her new song, “Trouble”, might be one of the best R&B songs I’ve heard in a while. It’s sweet, silky, sexy and soulful, but not a moment does it sound cheesy or anything. Really happy with this second instalment of #TweetTuesdays on DuBose Music Group. Welcome back miss Tweet!

Tweet – Trouble

Onra released his latest “Deep In The Night” EP today. This funk-filled piece of work picks up where “Long Distance” left off. Onra gets some help on this one from T3 and the stunning miss Amalia (♥) so creep on over to where you can purchse the whole shebang.

Back in 2001 Lucy Pearl released their “Without You” single containing a super silky remix from Dwele and some rugged vocal additions from Detroit’s legendary Phat Katt. I remember being the biggest Dwele fan around that time especially after his immaculate two productions on the Bahamdia’s “BB Queen” EP. He was truly one some serious shit back then and I feel as if this remix never got the attention it deserved. That’s why we thought this would make a perfect Slept on Sundays joint for this weekend!

It is my pleasure to introduce you to a new duo from Paris of whom I had never heard before. Stanley Bloom (who hit us up via Facebook) & Mike Ro Wave very recently released their new “Pacific Shore” project which is an audiovisual journey inspired by a road trip through the state of California. Most of the music on this album stems from Funk, Soul and Hip Hop, but has a few electronic elements as well. The lovely miss Sarah Linhares from Montréal features on two songs of which “Road 1” is our favorite pick. We are giving away this one away as a free download, but for the rest of the album you need to visit of course.

M-Phazes has been dropping so much heat these past few years that he might needs to take a break before he burns a hole in our site. His remix of Hermitude‘s “Speak of the Devil” is bananas! It has that Disco feel to it and is drenched in Funk at the same time. Hermitude’s “Parallel Paradise” remix EP also contains a remix by the homie Ta-Ku and is available via Elefant Traks.

Freddie Joachim (JO-AH-KIM) collected some remixes and songs he had lying around and so “The Joachim Remixes” Vol. 5 was born. We already had some of the material on this compilation, but a free gift is always nice to receive right? So thank you Freddie. As usual we picked our two winners and are providing you with a direct download link.
