You might have seen this Sam Champ Remix of D’Angelo’s “Left & Right” on 22tracks already, but Mr. Champ emailed us today personally persuaded me to post this. Sam is a DJ/producer from Brooklyn who has done some productions for Kissey Asplund and Selan Lerner. Normally I’m not that big on remixes, but this one has got my stamp of approval. In grim times like these, we need more soulfullness and this is what the doctor ordered. Enjoy this free download, visit his Bandcamp and be on the look out for his Remix EP.

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.

Tomorrow is the day that Appelsap presents: Jay Electronica at the Sugar Factory. For many Dutch heads it will be the first time they get to see one of Hip Hop’s most promising artists on a Dutch stage. Recently Jay dropped “Exhibit A” and “Exhibit C” on us, but honestly we didn’t need any more evidence. We already knew Jay was the truth after having heard joints like “Candyman” and “Hagler Demo”.

While visiting OJ‘s website, we stumbled upon this new freebie “Phonenumber”. It’s an oldy from two years ago, but this is just what the doctor ordered. This soulful joint is off the heezy and if you haven’t voted, regarding to the State Awards, yet click HERE to choose your favorite Dutch producer. Honestly I couldn’t pick a winner between SirOJ, FS Green and Hayzee. Shout out to the Mixing Monthly Millionairs who put this one up on 22tracks as well.
