To end the year properly, we came up with the idea to sum up 2009 and let ya’ll know what we thought was epic and who ya’ll slept on. We would like to thank you all for staying loyal to the movement called Moovmnt and 2010 has a lot of newness in store for you. Our brand new website will launch early Januari, the Moovmnt Sampler releases will be dropping like hotcakes and Moovmnt TV is coming up.
Our Belgian homeboy Azer did a 2009 mix and it goes hard as you might guess. It’s a selection of some of his favorite tracks released in 2009. It was broadcasted on December 30, 2009 in the Laid Back Show on FM Brussel. Happy new year and see you on the flipside.

AFTA-1 did it again. For GAS’D he put together a mix full of ▲❍▼❏ and you’re a fool if you don’t download this beautiful collection of moments right now. Nice to see that unreleased Muhsinah track produced by Flying Lotus on “Love Is Real Vol. 4: Vessels Behind A Moment”. We simply love the first draft of “7th Sun”, which is sounding off the chain! I heard we can expect more melodic goodness from AFTA-1 soon..
The months following the release of Love is Real Vol. 3 have again affirmed everything that GAS’D, myself and everyone else in the universe living for Love, truly believe in. We are all vessels, placed on this planet to create. Blessed with the freedom to choose our medium, true fulfillment lies in carrying out our calling to its fullest extent. Which is ultimately done, one moment at a time. One Now at a time.
We must choose to act in the present without limiting ourselves by the thought of tomorrow. Give our today our everything. Create at our peak for the only time that matters, NOW. Fulfilling our divine calling while fulfilling our life through love.
This is a collection of moments. Every one of these tracks has been the soundtrack to my life in many key moments throughout my journey. Including very recent ones. As this mix itself was created in a moment. One sleep-free night, three days ago while simultaneously finalizing it’s closing track. “7th Sun,” a rough draft of the most recent work for my upcoming album. So it’s only right that we also drop this mix at a moment’s notice.
Without further a do, Enjoy this collection of Love sounds old, new, and in-between from some past LIR favorites, some good friends, & hopefully some artists you may not have heard before. And of course, you know how we set the vibe…Dim the lights, light one up and float.

We posted the stream last week, because previously this AFTA-1‘s remix was exclusively available on, “Cotton : Drum”, the FREE promo CDR included in every GAS’D purchase. Because this track was so well received he decided to make the “Fortune” remix available to each and all in appreciation of the massive love he’s received for it. Artwork above is from Little Dragon‘s “Machine Dreams” and thanks for sharing Manuel..

First track is the Little Dragon – Fortune Remix from AFTA-1, which you can only get by supporting Gas’d and buying a ▲❍▼❏ tee at the Gas’d store … you can find some additional information about Gas’d below.
Gas’d is a clothing line created to uplift the massed by relaying one simple truth, “LOVE IS REAL”. Gas’d believes that there is a universal love within all of humanity that is stronger than the ignorance and hate that seems to thrive in our world . We are ALL human, and humanity is what matters. Love for each other and all of humanity can overcome nearly everything in this life. GAS’D will forever embrace this ideal and continue to spread it through clothing, art and all endeavors. GAS’D is ▲❍▼❏. Created By Imani Waddy.
The second remix by Bluntspeakers was made especially for the Little Dragon performance at the WATT in Rotterdam this Wednesday. Sad to say Brittany Bosco will probably not be performing due to problems with her passport. Nevertheless it’s still bound to be a great night.
