Here we have a brand new soulful single from Morris Alan that just came out. The song “U Make Me Say” featuring DC’s Dame Luke is an introduction to Alan’s forthcoming project “The Love Sessions”, which is due in October. You guys might remember we posted “Let It Ride” earlier this year which was produced by Kev Brown.

On the last day of August we return with already the 8th mix in our “Glimmering Fractions” series. This month’s birthstone is Peridot, which is not to be mistaken for Emeralds. We hope you enjoy this mix as much as all the previous ones. Listen to this month’s mix on Soundcloud (download available) or head over to Mixcloud (stream only).

Andrew Ashong hailing from Forest Hill by way of Ghana, has just released his highly anticipated “Flowers” EP on Sound Signature. With Theo Parrish on additional production this might be one of the essential 12-inches this year. Thanks to Samira and Ruby for the heads up.

Really like the vibe of this new “Little Queen” joint from Modlee & Vlooper. Now Modlee has clearly been experimenting with styles lately, which I think is cool. But after Erykah Badu and Fatima…we wonder who’s next?

One of the slickest Soul crooners of our generation is still Motor City’s Dwele. Loved by many and even though his style became a bit more mainstream each year, he still manages to pull a brand new album out of his fedora hat that contains music for everyone. Next week “Greater Than One” will release on E1 Music and make no mistake…there will be some babies conceived to songs such as “Obey”. There’s guest features from Raheem DeVaughn, Black Milk & Monica Blaire, but find out for yourself what more this album has to offer. Available on as of now.

Lots of new music droppin’ left and right, but since I’m not feeling any of it I decided to post something from a few weeks ago. Solid song from Gensu Dean featuring Olivier Daysoul entitled “Wantchu”. This on is available on 7″ vinyl at the Mello Music Group shop or downloadable in digital format for free on Bandcamp.

Sorry for slacking on these Slept on Sundays lately, but here is an oldie but goodie of Pharoahe Monch‘s “Desire” album from 2007. Most of you guys probably have this on repeat already, but I bet a few of you might have been snoozing on this. One of my all time favorites of this album is “So Good” which I put in one of the Glimmering Fractions mixes a while back. Enjoy this sultry jam and enjoy the weather.

So after a few days of sunshine, not checking my inbox and takin’ it easy. I thought it was about time to get back to posting modern day music that I think is fresh. You can say anything you want about Flying Lotus, but there is no denying this leak of his upcoming “Until The Quiet Comes” album (due Oct. 1st) is amazingly nice. Take a quick listen of “See Thru To U” featuring miss Erykah Badu and enjoy life!

Brand new kiwi soul from Andrew Spraggon as Sola Rosa. “Low and behold, High and Beyond” is Spraggon’s sophomore album after the release of his #1 NZ ITunes album “Get It Together“.  On this new project Spraggon has drawn together a host of familiar names and new faces, such as Spikey Tee, Ben White, Matt Short and Julien Dyne. While vocalists such as Olivier Daysoul, L.A. Mitchell, Ned Worboys and Miles Bonny all lend vocals to the project. The “Low and behold, High and Beyond” album is currently available on Sola Rosa’s bandcamp page.
