Our good friend Leno from Jakarta’s The Goodnws, hit me up to share the “Proportions” album from Exmag. Instantly tickling my ear, so here’s the 411! The group consists of Eric, Mike, Denis aka Gramatik Tyler aka SuperNicer and Bryn aka ILLUMNTR from Brooklyn NY. What they bring you is that soulful sound of the future. Fortunately for us they do so in the form of a gift. To get your hands on a free download just visit their Soundcloud page and hit the free download button. Their philosophy is “All art should be free. Donate to help create a better future for those who once were”. Of course a donation was made from the Moovmnt camp!
Now we’ve been boogieing to The Boogie compilations since day one and it brings us great pleasure to announce that our friends at Tokyo Dawn Records are returning with “The Boogie Volume 4” next week.

More freshness from Frisco as our good friend B. Bravo teams up with the lovely Reva DeVito and showe us with “Kisses”. We have HW&W to thank for the fact these kisses are free of charge! Snatch up your free download like this!
As you know we’ve been a huge fan of Kan Sano for many years and are excited to tell you about his latest “2.0.1.1.” release. The Japanese master pianist fuses Jazz and futuristic Soul on a truly mature project. Must buy if you ask us featuring Benny Sings, Marter and Maya Hatch.
DJ Rahdu and the BamaLoveSoul collective have been decreasing your harddrive space since 2008. With their latest “On Deck” 2 compilation they manage to give twelve upcoming artists, such as Rippy Austin, James Tillman, GDNA, Humus, JFinesse and Buscrates, a platform to be heard. Soulful is the keyword on this compilation released via BBE and I think they did a great job. Fresh selection with some raw elements!
Meet miss Ego Ella May, a muli-talented singer/songwriter/guitarist from London, who delivers soulful vocal melodies with a powerful devotion. Last year she releases her debut EP “The Tree” and next month she’ll be releasing a brand new EP on Soulection, entitled “Breathing Underwater”. The first single of this EP is “Underwater” was produced by IAMNOBODI and sounds buttah!
It takes beautiful new music from The Internet to get me back to writing something again. I guess there comes a time in life when priotities change, but the memory remains “Timeless”. Enjoy this soulful piece of yum!
Straight out of the Soulection camp it’s San Diego’s Esta. that offers our ears a ride to “Paradise”. Nice little thirteen track project with “ForYou(&HerToo)” being the main joint for us! Go ahead and pick up this album on a ‘name your price’ basis.
Seven Davis Jr’s “Lost Tapes” are no longer lost!! Los Angeles based vocalist, producer and poet put together this amazing release from four and eight track tapes which were lost in storage via a lengthy hiatus due to drug addiction and depression. Now all of sudden there is bright future ahead of Samuel Davis as he surely is the new hope for disco and soulful house music.
Hello world…meet Reginald Omas Mamode IV from London. This intergalactic producer describes his music as ‘earthbound heart and soul music for good peoples’. Gilles Peterson featured the title track of his “Do You?” EP on the last Brownswood Bubblers compilation, but be sure you listen to the entire thing!
