OH SHIT…Peter Opolopo just hit me with this instrumental Jazz-Funk/Boogie jam called “Twenty-Second Thoughts” that’s been rotting away on his hard drive since 2005. Besides being Amalia’s hubbie, the tallest man I ever picked up (and threw over my shoulder) & Tokyo Dawn’s parade horse. Peter is also a generous fellow. I suggest you go get that free download over at his Soundcloud page and savour the flavor.

Seravince consists of producer/keyboard player Vincent Helbers and drummer Richard Spaven who have been working together for quite some time now. The band is heavily influenced by Jazz, Soul, Hip Hop and as you can hear Broken Beat. Their upcoming album, “Hear To See”, will have guest vocals from Renee Neufville (Zhane) and Sharlene Hector. When we got the opportunity to share this unreleased song entitled, “Unrequited Love”, featuring Renee Neufville with you guys we were more than happy to do so. Sit back and enjoy this lovely song. Oh in case you’re in the neighborhood. This Friday the whole band, including Renee Neufville and Sharlene Hector, will be performing live at BIRD in Rotterdam!

I’m sure almost everybody here knows who SBTRKT is, but in case you don’t here’s the 411. Aaron Jerome aka SBTRKT began his career at Plastic People in London and has had a steadily growing fan-base eversince. For all these music fans, he decided to share a previously unreleased song from 2009. I can say without a doubt that “Atomic Peace” is one of the favorite musical treats I’ve heard so far from SBTRKT. Never really felt the need to post about this guy, but after having heard this I think it’s about time to do so.

It’s no “Dirty Secret” that L.A. songstress Louie and Danish Robin Hannibal (Quadron) are in love. Their latest collaboration entitled “Female Sensitivity” is just one of those songs you can’t really dislike. For some reason I really enjoy it when these two love birds get together on a song, so thumbs up for this one. Oh peep Allison’s Bandcamp if you’re looking to buy..

Tall Black Guy is one of the few producers that can mess with classics such as Stevie Wonder’s “Too High” and Fela Kuti’s “Water No Get Enemy”. Can’t wait to get my hands on this and his previous 7″. For more TBG tunes you can check out his Soundcloud.

You guys remember Boom Clap Bachelors‘ “Mellem Dine Læber” EP that came out on Plug Research last year with that brilliant song “Løb Stop Stå” on it right? Well good news, because the muscles from Brussels, aka Cris Prolific, teamed up with Vancouver’s illest lyricist Moka Only to create this bad ass remix. Shit if official!!

We’re back with some brand new music from Austrian soul/gospel singer Gianna Charles out on TLM Records. Gianna is from Vienna as is producer Mez (whom we posted about this weekend). Bit on the R&B tip, but soulful all the way.

Fellow Dutchie, Sam A La Bamalot, from Uden is a producer who surprised a lot of people last year with his “A Bird’s Leg” release. Sam’s latest “What Happens When You Sleep” EP on Lomechanik is out as of today. Our favorite joint, “Rapid Eye Movement”, fuses the old with the new and is slighty reminiscent of a time when not everybody and they moms was making beats yet. You can pre-order this 12″ over at Triple Vision or buy it digitally (link will be added shortly).
