When our colleagues at Laidback Radio asked us to do the ‘Pick of the Week’, we were like lets do this! Now our very first pick is one that we are truly very excited about. We’ve been friends with Jay Hats for a while and admire his musical genius. Just like LaMelodia, Jay is also from Eindhoven. And next to being a producer, he’s also a sound engineer.
Jay Hats’ music is best described as a crossing between tropical world music (loaded with frantic percussion) and contemporary club music. Jay’s music sounds like an honest breath of fresh air on a warm summer night and we dare you to take a dive into this tropical, future vintage. Let Jay take you on a trip around the world with a wide variety of arrangements cleverly blended into one album.
Together with Jay we’ve been working on getting his debut album the release it deserves and we are happy to inform you that it will be out this summer. Stay tuned on more music from the tall man…soon! Keep smiling bro..oh and follow Jay on Twitter or Facebook!

If you’re old like me you might just remember the movie Spaceballs with the late John Candy. Anyhow…the track that stands out on Joob’s “Nebula” EP is “Sagatriaus B”,which begins with a short sample from that movie. With other tracks like “Galactic Geek” you can really feel that spacey vibe he tried to give out with this EP. Shit is pretty much out there so I suggest you give it a listen…it’s FREE! Download it HERE and props to Olof for the heads up.

Mayer Hawthorne wishes it would rain, but frankly I don’t. Here in Amsterdam the sun has just began to show itself and already women are pulling out their short skirts upon feeling the very first rays of sunlight. Anyhow…this is a fantastic video for a fantastic song. Can’t really add a lot more except that it was directed by Henry DeMaio and that Stones Throw deserves some props for this one again.
I just wanted to share this Dam-Funk pickup with you, because this is one of the few records I’ve actually bought in the last year. The packaging of the “Toeachizown” box set crazy nice and I urge you all to pick this one HERE at the Stones Throw webshop. It’s well worth the money if you ask me. Shout out to Damon & Jamie for this one!
Emmanuel is Colin Emmanuel AKA C Swing, a musical genius and producer of hit singles and albums for the likes of Jamelia, Beverly Knight, Terri Walker, and Estelle. The album “D’Illusions Of Grandeur” was released 3 years ago, but Emmanual put it up for a free download for 24-hours. This is just as a reminder before he starts to do the Black Einstein material. Now if you’re quick you can still get the full download, if not you can just check the 2 tracks below.

The long awaited Eric Lau“Kilawatt: V2″ is finally out!! After his debut album “New Territories” came out we were amazed by it’s sheer dopeness. Now we hadn’t heard Muhsinah sing like this in quite a while and always a pleasure to see genius artists like Kaidi Tatham and Oddisee on a release like this. If you don’t believe in buying music please hold up for a second, because if you look at the value for money on this baby it’s not to be fucked with. For only a measly few dollars you’ll have that stupendously, insane shit pumpin’ through your speakers. Visit iTunes for that digital crack or check for that tangible shit on his Bandcamp.

My man Front2Blaq just sent me this video (check it after the jump) of B.Lewisand I had to share this with ya’ll. This young Californian is currently studying sound audio and I truly love the way “Day Two” sounds. To my surprise there’s a lot more where this came from. Mr. Lewis dropped his “Talking Chairs”beat tape HERE for FREE and if you take the time to visit his Bandcamp, you’ll find lots more audible goodies there! Most intriguing I find this triology where feelings come gliding across that synthesizer as if it was nothing…I’m really feeling this a lot! Shouts to Jay Scarlett for posting this on his blog a couple of days ago.
