Music for the hectic lifestyles we all lead surrounds us, take the selection this week for example, full of beats and melodies that will sound equally good in the headphones or on the floor in the wee wee hours. After the loud and dirty special last week, we take in some more laidback tuneage, with cutting edge future beat jams; some blues influenced hip-hop, and cosmic house music full of lush atmospherics. All designed to bring enjoyment to your busy day.
Parisian producer Onra has quietly built a reputation for quality sample based hip-hop, crafted with some skill, but this new cut for All City sounds more like Cameo or early Prince/Onra-Long Distance
This brilliant new song from Aloe Blacc could easily be mistaken for Willie Mitchell-produced Al Green, or Bobby Womack, and that is some big compliment. From the new LP ‘Good Things’, out soon on Stones Throw/Aloe Blacc-I Need a Dollar
Brooklyn produces so much good music these days, and that includes newcomer Lando Kal, who comes at us with a deceptively simple future beat, complete with appropriate bleep and bass distortion. It is taken from the ‘The Golden Handshake’ EP, out on Numbers/Lando Kal-Fuzzy Ankles
The deep house fuzziness at its very best right here, Pete Herbert aka Reverso 68 does a smooth and funky job remixing Gomma artist Golden Bug, turning in a groove that will stay with you for days/Golden Bug-Flamingo (Pete Herbert remix)
Taken from the debut album ‘Deep & Meaningless’, this is soulful disco slowed right down to sound like raw rhythm and blues, and takes Ron Basejam’s production to another level/Ron Basejam-Into My Life
You can support these artists by purchasing their music here: Picadilly, Bleep, Rush Hour, Conch, and Samurai.
