Last week we bumped into our sista from another mista at the Red Bull Music Academy while she was working on a big tune with Hudson Mohawke and Dorian Concept. She had just picked up a few copies of the new Mind Travellin’ EP and we wanted to buy the first copies and show some support. Like true groupies we even asked for an autograph and that was that! Today the vinyl officially dropped worldwide and we urge everyone to pick up a copy HERE. Not only because Fatima is one of the nicest people we know, but also because her music is f*cking amazing. Nev’s favourite joint is “Soul Glo” and when I tried to sing it together with Fatima I failed miserably. Therefore my fav is “Warm Eyes” which features Dam-Funk. Don’t sleep on miss Fatima, cuz she’s well wicked…innit!? Check out some snippets and the brand new video!

This upcoming weekend the Moovmnt crew (that’s us) will be throwing our monthly party both in Amsterdam and Rotterdam. Some of you might know that we are based in the two major cities this small country calls their capitols. Tomorrow we’ll be playing at the MiNiBAR in Amsterdam together with our buddy Sotu the Traveller. Since we’re still kinda recovering from the RBMA, we’ll be playing some music on the sneak tip. We got some exclusive joints at the academy and there’s a lot of great music on the “Various Assets” CD’s as well. While you’re ad it…download the FREE “Most Valuable Assets” mix HERE!
On Saturday we invite you to have a drink at De Unie in Rotterdam where none other than Bluntspeakers will be playing. No doubt he’ll be giving us some sneak previews of his upcoming releases and we’ll make sure you get your soultronic, boogielicious vibe on. Next month we have a special, ‘Timeless’ treat for ya’ll at De Unie! More info on that very soon.

Young Jazz Rebels is a Madlib jazz group from the Yesterdays Universe collective. Their debut album “Slave Riot” is an avant-garde free jazz record, a style Madlib has been developing with Young Jazz Rebels since their debut on 2006′s Chrome Children compilation with the track “Nino’s Deed”.
