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.

You guys might remember the “AnaloG LovE” release from a few years ago. Well the Canadian duo, Vlooper & Modlee, is back with their brand new “Sunwalk” EP. Modlee was clearly inspired by Erykah Badu on this EP, but whether that’s a good, neutral or bad thing I leave up to you to decide. The EP is out and available on the Soulection Bandcamp page at a ‘name your price’ price.

Düsseldorf’s Simpleemusic did a nice little remix of Miles Bonny‘s “Yes I Do” and we thought you might like to have a listen. Heavy drums, humble horns, we’re diggin’ this!

Wow…we’re super late with this new single from Detroit’s Soul crooner Dwele , but better late than never right? He’s working on his sixth album as we speak and although his sound has gotten a little slicker each album, I’m still convinced there will be some music on there we’ll be glad to inform you about. On “What Profit” we do kinda miss the old sexy Dwele style of production, but even such a clean song as this doesn’t sound too bad at all in the world of modern day Soul music. A trip to will help you get your hands on this new single.

On the last day of May we’re treating you to another “Glimmering Fractions” mix. Some gems are hidden below the surface and are hard to see with the naked eye. At times this means you’ll have to look closely. Just like this emerald hidden inside calcite. We invite you to listen to this one on Soundcloud (download available) or Mixcloud (stream only).

Team Moovmnt is filled with joy that summer has started. Now DVA must have had the same feeling when he decided earlier today to let loose “In The Sunshine” featuring Isabelle Bentink. This cut didn’t make it on to the “Pretty Ugly” album, so ‘it’s a demo’ (no EPMD).
