Paris representative Onra is proud to announce his next album release, “Chinoiseries Pt. 2″, dropping on November 15th on All City Records. For this project has been digging for Chinese and Vietnamese vinyl to create a themed instrumental hip-hip beat journey just like he did five years ago with the first volume. The second edition of this series, which features 32 instrumentals all sampled from various vinyl found during various trips to South East Asia. Enjoy a short video trailer for “Chinoiseries Pt. 2″ which captures Onra digging for vinyl on one of his recent trips, while molding the original samples into a beat that you’ll soon get to enjoy.
It’s not often that I come across a new jazz artist that really captures me, but 28 year old London based Zara McFarlane definitely is one of them. Recently signed to Gilles Peterson’s Brownswood Recordings, Zara is releasing her full length LP “Until Tomorrow” on October 10th. Apart from tracks off the previously self released “Until Tomorrow EP” it includes new original material as well as 2 covers of tracks by the late Harry Whitaker. As said above the album is set to be released on October 10th, but you can pre order it here. For more on Zara McFarlane visit her Facebook page.

Canadian rapper/producer Moka Onlyteams up with Swiss beatmaker Chief. Moka Only and Chief first collaborated in 2008 on the tracks “Do Work” and “Felt before”, and soon after Moka Only released his album “Lowdown Suite 2 – The Box” on Chief’s label Feelin’ music. A good connection and the fact that each artist seemed to get the best out of the other convinced Moka Only and Chief to deepen the collaboration and have this natural flow of united work result in a full-length album. The result is “Crickets”, out November 8 on Feelin’ Music and available as pre-order now!

It was a tough decision, but I decided to post about Mayer Hawthorne‘s new “How Do You Do” album. Yes I understand who this album is for and yes I do understand it’s out on Universal…a major label. What I also know is that this album is not really for me any more. Personally I find this way too poppy, but I do wish Mr. Haircut all the best with conquering the charts. I did however enjoy “Can’t Stop” featuring Snoop, because I never heard Snoop sing like this before. It’s rather funny and yeah I’m enjoying it a bit. Anyway..you can purchase a digital copy over at already.

Garnering big buzz before proper release, and played plenty on both Giles Peterson and Benji B’s Radio shows, “Water No Enemy” is a chop of the Fela tune of similar name. Complete with off it’s kilter swinging drums, dreamy synths, and filtered horns, this tune creates an irresistible vibe and bumps warm and lovely on vinyl. On the flip, TBG offers up “Lost And Gone” – a raw downtempo head nodder. To pre-order contact info@conch.co.nz..
