Deluge and me just came back from Joya Mooi‘s album pre-listening party at MC. Late as usual we missed the whole shebang, but still got to chill with Full Crate, Mar, SirOJ, Joya, Yoji and miss Mountainwood for a minute. I had heard an early leak of “When I Take A Step Back” (produced by Presto) and was semi impressed at the time. After having heard the rest of the album I can truly say this…I’m a fan of miss Mooi! Not because she has the looks, not because she’s a nice person, but because I truly admire the way she comes across as an artist.

One of my favorites is the duet with Mar called “My Day”. Her debut album “Hard Melk” is a soundtrack for the new theater play BH and features almost every single Dutch producer you’d want on your album. Just to name a few: SirOJ, Presto, Hayzee, Wan, Dub Spensa and Crate who kinda put everything together musically. You can check out the entire album over HERE and view her video after the jump. Hurry up and be amazed…

This is the second time KrystalKlear has come to my attention and I decided to let ya’ll in on a little secret. This mystery artist from Belize is going to be releasing his debut release in April on All City Records. Massive synth waves flood the ears and take you back to the Boogie. It’s artists like Dam-Funk that pop to mind when hearing this typical early-’80s boogielicious funkiness. Klear’s productions are on that Neo Boogie tip that only few have managed to produce on a level to my liking so far. Keep your eyes and ears open for more of that f0nk!

You might know Tom Trago from his banging “Fluorgreen Legged Gangster” track on Beat Dimensions or you might have heard some of his more recent, housey style of music. Either way, you have to check out his new “Voyage Direct” remix EP via Rushhour containing some dope remixes. The first remix we wanted to share is by FS Green and the second is by Sotu the Traveller. Please enjoy these and support your local artist by making a purchase if you like the EP.

UPDATE: Just got word from FS Green that Rushhour is going to release the FS Green remix of “Voyage Direct” on a 7″ and the b-side will contain an extra FS remix. Mo money, mo Green…what you know about that?
