All beats were produced by Koen except for “681″ which was produced by Koen & Jay Hats. Wake up Jay…wake up!

I’ve been bumping this Quazedelic joint for the longest, but it’s officially coming out. A collaboration between the fonk monk and Doggfather was destiny waiting to be fulfilled. “Hold On”, off Quazedelic’s upcoming debut LP, has Quaz and Snoop combining their smooth, similar styles from separate genres for the album’s first single. On October 5th “Stan Sly: Anuthaworld” will be available via Georgia Anne Muldrow’s and Declaime’s SomeOthasShip Connect.

No this video is not about adding more Nike shoes to your collection at all! The name “Morenike” (moe-re-knee-ke), in Yoruba means ‘I have found one to cherish’ and is usually bestowed upon a much sought after female child. Taken from Siji’s sophomore album“Adesiji” this song has earned it’s own videoclip. Special mention should also be made of Laron Land’s brilliant horn arrangements (part Afro, part Jazz/big band swing), which helped to lend significant weight to the feel and mood of the song. The album is available via for those that haven’t bought it yet.
Good friend and fellow Amsterdam resident Full Crate just blessed us with a sick variation he did a while back. He’s been a Def Jam Poetry fan for years and was missing the element of music in many occasions. For this reason he decided to take Floetry’s “Fantasise” and make his own variation, which turned out mighty fine if I may say so. Peep the original after the jump and get an idea of what Crate started out with. I’m hoping he’s dropping more goodness like this, because let’s face it…everybody loves a freebie like this. Shout out to Deluge for doing the artwork and follow my man Crate on Twitter if you’re not already or add him on Myspace.

Last month we met up with Soulquarian Bilal after his show in Amsterdam (Paradiso) and behold the result. Our camera man Joao couldn’t make it, so me and Deluge decided to shoot the video ourselves on his Canon 550D. Big thank you for editing it though and I think it came out pretty nice, because Bilal goes pretty deep.
As you might know his album “Airtight’s Revenge” (Plug Research) is coming out in a month and today his first single “Restart” drops. Bilal is giving away the track on his website at http://www.plugresearch.com/bilal where fans can enter their email address to receive an immediate download. The single includes an instrumental version and a remix by Los Angeles experimental Brainfeeder producer Deadelus. Pre-order yourself a vinyl copy of the album HERE or if you’re more into CD’s you can get a copy over at Rush Hour or Amazon. Your digital hunger can be satisfied by visiting iTunes.
It is my pleasure to introduce to you ?uestlove’s sis…Donn T. Her debut album “Kaleidoscopic” contains a broad spectrum of styles, that takes you from West London to the underground Chicago club scene. Mesmerizing and soothing melodies combined with uptempo beats made for the dancefloor is what this album is all about. So many gems on here like the uptempo “Luna Garden” or what about “Lookt At (what U startin’)” with serene vocals and that broken Jazz sound that Simbad can produce so well (which is available as a FREE download HERE). Perhaps it’s songs like “Beautiful Day” I can appreciate the most, cuz it really bring across that feel good feeling and brings a smile to my face whilst wiping the sleep out of my eyes. So if you’re looking for the perfect combination between pure, soothing music and ruff & raw dancefloor bangers…buy “Kaleidoscopic”! This album is available via and other stores worldwide.
