If it hadn’t been for “Just Vybe” featuring the lovely miss Fatima, I probably would’ve never heard of UK Funky man DVA. Recently he announced his debut album, “Pretty Ugly”, is coming out in 2012 on Hyperdub Records, but before the end of the year he’ll be releasing a 12″ first. It will contain “Madness” featuring Vikter Duplaix (plus an instrumental version) and “Polyphonic Dreams” on the flipside. Also peep the video or pre-order at Rush Hour.

After a lot of positive responses to the 1st “The Future of Funk” mix, me and Mr. Speak decided we wanted to do another one. It wasn’t very easy to keep the quality high, but we did our best on the sequal. I’m very pleased to present to you: “The Future of Funk” Pt. 2. Now Modern Funk music is still pretty niche so we’d like to contribute to the cause in our own way, since we’re not musicians ourselves. Big shout out to artists for hitting us up with music and special thanks to Tokyo Dawn Records who are releasing their “The Boogie” Vol. 2 compilation soon! Get ready for a 40 minute ride down the nasty side.
L.A.’s Pac Div has just released their first official full album today entitled “The Div” on RBC Records. For those that have been waiting hella long for “She” to finally come out…it’s here. Some dope features from TiRon, Asher Roth and Casey Veggies. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Pacific Division is at it’s best when dropping those laid back songs reminiscent of The Pharcyde. Go ahead and peep to show sum love.

I remember Nev coming with these Teebs beats years ago and now this release on Brainfeeder. A lot has changed in the years and “Collections” 01 is a journey. The follow-up to “Ardour” offers some brand new world perspectives into the world of Teebs. Some nice features on this album from harpist Rebekah Raff and label buddy Austin Peralta. Buy the album at if you dig or pre-order a vinyl copy at Rush Hour.

You might remember we posted about these two jolly young beat wizards, Jazzo & Melodiesinfonie, earlier this Spring. They came hard with their “Untreeleted” joint, which you can still grab for free, and are coming back with a follow-up album called “Astro Funk & Weltfrieden” slated to drop November 18th via Feelin’ Music. I’m really loving the playful sound these cats are bringing and eventhough they’re still hella young (they started producing together in 2010), I hear a lot of potential here. Ya’ll should really keep an ear out for this Swiss duo and enjoy this Moovmnt Exclusive preview entitled “∆ Sign of Peace”..

As you guys and gals might know, we’ve been supporting the half Chilean producer called fLako for quite some time over at Moovmnt. We’ve met a few times and he is a very humble guy. He’s been living in London for a while now and is releasing his brand new project entitled “Carving Away The Clay” today. This EP is on some new and improved shit and clearly fLako has been evolving in sound and style over the past few years. The text below expresses the thought behind the EP, which will is available on 10″ vinyl (Rush Hour) as well as digitally via Bandcamp.
‘Carving Away The Clay’ impresses upon the idea of an ongoing process in which raw material is stripped off of anything superfluous or impeding until the essential parts of ourselves are exposed. It is a never ending process of striving for perfection in all areas of life.

Earlier this week Stones Throw released MED‘s “Classic” album which remained a little on the downlow for me. It has so many amazing producers on there that you would think this was a shure hit, but quite honestly I dunno. It’s not a bad album, but with all these productions from Madlib, Oh No, Alchemist and Karriem Riggins I was expecting a bit more I guess. Don’t get me wrong. This album has some dope joints on there like “INT’L” produced by Georgia Anne Muldrow and “Classic” produced by Karriem Riggins. Perhaps in this day and age this is just what a great album is supposed to sound like?!! Check the rest of the album out here on or get a limited 3xLP (with instrumentals) over at Stones Throw.
