The good people over at RVA Mag did an interview with Klipmode’s Devonwho, and blessed us with a great mix of  some new and old tunes. I think this is a great prelude to Klipmode’s Funraiser Vol.1 series, that will be out in upcoming few weeks. You can find the interview and the tracklist after the jump..

The song “I Should Tell Ya Momma on You” was originally recorded behind the HVW8 Art + Design Gallery in December 2008. This raw video was posted on YouTube and became an instant online phenomenon. Equal parts G-funk, California Soul and Hobo Street, the song features full musical accompaniment created only by Red. The natural funk and flow struck a chord with an international audience representing a true Cali sound. In this era of T-Pain and excess studio production, the video showcased an almost forgotten musical form with no auto-tune or talk-box, only the beating of his chest and the hum of his throat as a bass kick and snare, and highlighted by signature vocals and original rhymes, this was Red – The Man Without The Machine. Get the EP via iTunes and let us know which version is doper…the original one or the Dam-Funk remix? For the full read go to the HVW8 website…one love to Ty G and the HVW8 fam!

Happy B-day to Nicolay and how nice he blessed us with another ‘Off The Shelf‘ download aimed for the dancefloors!

Dutch singer and keyboardist Ugene has been making quite some noise over here in the Netherlands. Nic and Ugene recorded this cover version of the Quincy Jones produced Donna Summer track “Love Is In Control (Finger On The Trigger)” in April of 2005. It was originally intended for a compilation album on an indie label, but they didn’t use it and so the track ended up on the shelf.

Ugene is another artist that deserves any and all attention. He’s currently working on a new project with a formation that actually includes two other friends of mine from Europe, Krewcial (the live guy with glasses) and Gus. Click here for one of their recent videos.
