Today we bring you a warm summer breeze in the form of “Overshadowed”. Really feeling this Atjazz dub remix he did for South African House producer Jullian Gomes. Some of you out there still need to get in the mood for summer I reckon, so we hope this will do the trick. This will be out on vinyl next week so if you’d like to own a copy visit Juno.

When my homie DJ Blue told me about self taught composer/writer/arranger/producer, Ahmed Sirour, I took the time out to listen to his latest “The After 2am Sessions” LP. Ahmed is from Brooklyn NY and released his EP a year ago utilizing 3 themes of love: the romantic, the erotic, and the spiritual. He added 6 brand new songs and turned his EP into a full album.

So at the moment our southern neighbor Lefto is visiting Japan and unveiling or sorts of new music from the land of the rising sun. One little gem I picked up thanks to him was the same titled Jazz Collective album. It’s kinda avant-garde Jazz (which normally I’m not that big on) but as a whole I think this project is something well worth exploring. There is one amazing song on there called “Renovation” that you all should hear. Make sure you support by visiting 0r their Bandcamp page.

Tensei‘s “Two” is the follow up EP on Plug Research from Chris and Midas. You might have heard “Passport” on our last “Glimmering Fractions” mix, but I bet you haven’t heard “Think Twice” featuring Khari Lemuel yet. Let us know what you think about Tensei’s new EP and in case you’d like to purchase visit please. Otherwise you can find a download link in the comments.

Arizona-born songstress Teri Tobin is about to release her second album entitled “So Good To Me”. The song “Love Me” is the second single of her forthcoming album and is produced by the one and only Tall Black Guy. The new single will be available on May 22nd, 2012 via iTunes.

Now this is the kind of music that we love telling you about. Several weeks ago ATL saxophonist Darryl Reeves released his new Jazz fusion album entitled “Mercury” via Epic Life Music Group. His 2004 “Diary of a Bandstand” album featured the likes of Robert Glasper and now after eight long years, Mr Reeves is back with a very soulful mix of Mercury music. There are a few interpretations of classic Jazz songs such as Donald Byrd’s “Think Twice”, but also some brand new own material that sounds just as amazing. We suggest you get your copy at without hesitation, after having listened to some streams below of course. [Spotted over at Kevinnottingham]

A very long time ago I was a huge fan of Mad Skillz. This was in a time I used to read the Source magazine to keep myself in the know. Fourteen years after having first encoutered this lyricist from VA, Skillz released his “The Million Dollar Backpack” album. When this dropped in 2008 I kinda slept on it, because there’s this one very nice song on there featuring Common entitled “So Far So Good”. Thought I’d share this one with you all on this Slept on Sundays.

I told ya’ll South East Asia is waking the funk up. A small group of people have been pushing good new music over there and took it upon themselves to bring Opolopo and Amalia to Asia for a tour. To celebrate this Goodnws Peter and Amalia were asked for some musical niceness and behold an exclusive new joint called “Gado Gado Funk”. In case you didn’t know miss Amalia is a food junkie and loves Indonesian cuisine like no other. This delicious dish consists of vegetables covered in peanut sauce. Some righteous food for funkin’! Grab a free download of this while you can over at the Goodnws Soundcloud page.

It is officially time for Belgian producer Adriaan van de Velde aka Pomrad to bewitch you all with his “Vlotjes” EP. This 23-year-old conservatory student is bringing an interesting mix of electronic and funk music to the table and is easily compared with people such as Hudson Mohawke. All I know is that this EP will certainly make a lot of noise and will be available today via and as a limited vinyl edtion (orders@oohwee.be) as well. Oh and make sure you take a look at Pomrad’s promotional video too…after the jump.

Pomrad – Hot Rain

Been hearing some great new stuff from producer K15 lately. Personally not a fan of trap music at all, but when I heard his newest work in progress, I was really digging it. Young K15 is from London and I’m pretty sure we’ll be hearing lots more from this talented producer in the near future. Follow him on Soundcloud to keep track and in the meanwhile enjoy two unreleased tracks called “(Time) Humbles All” and “Sudorific Solitude”. You know where you heard it first!
