Beats + Crates got invited to check out Shafiq’s & The A-Free-Ka Ensemble rehearsal and interview at the KXLU radio station Thursday night. The upcoming show Plug Research 2010 (December 22) will be at The Echoplex 1154 Glendale Blvd, Los Angeles.
Tonight’s is your chance to finally meet the Eglo Records crew. Miss Fatima who you all should know by now, whether it be from the Red Bull Music Academy 2008, her recent features on Shafiq‘s “En’ A-Free-Ka” album or just from checking our website on a frequent base. Floating Points is another UK artist that has really been making noise in 2009. I remember him sending out “Love Me Like This” and I was like…yeah it’s sound okay. Months later I grew into the sound a lot more and when the “Vacuum” EP dropped I was sold.
So if you want an action-packed evening with soulful, electronic music you’d better mosey on down to Strange Fruit tonight at Grand Hotel Central in Rotterdam. In case you still need to get acquainted, here’s some audio for you to get down to.

We met with miss Muhsinah earlier this year in Rotterdam and shot some footage at her hotel. When we picked her up from the airport I asked her about her “The Oscillations: Triangle” album. We decided to get the forgotten footage out and piece together a short video especially for our Moovmnt visitors. Hope ya’ll like it and appreciate the effort we put into this.
Camera and editing by Joao Costa, to whom goes massive respect! We recently got together with Ty in Amsterdam and shot a very interesting interview. If everything goes according to plan this video will be online before the holidays. Shout out to RBMA for picking this up!
There has been heavily blogged about “The Oscillations: Triangle” on all the blogs lately, but we did not want to withhold one of the best songs from the album from you.

Ya boy P is back! Polyester The Saint managed to do it again and take me back in time. Together with Zipp, Skeme and Casey Veggies he talks about the goold old days, before anybody ever heard of Soulja Boy, when life made more sense and when Pete Rock was still using them funky horns. Okay so we’ve heard that piano before. I’m just glad there’s still people out there that do get what Hip Hop is supposed to sound like.

Misel Quitno‘s (Dimlite) ‘Sleep Over Pieces Vol. 1′ was an experiment in recreating retro-sounding electronic / lo-fi music, recorded under the use of a 4-track tape machine and any cheap instrument or object that can make a half-way decent sound.
To then have other people sampling bits off the finished vinyl, was part of completing the concept – and, finally, here is some of its outcome. rushhour
