When miss Fatima (Eglo Fam) was in Rotterdam last year, I asked her which female vocalists she really liked. She told me that her half sister (who she met at a very late stage in her life) turned out to be a fantastic singer. I thought she was pulling my chain, but the plot thickens. Young Swedish Seinabo is actually a very dope vocalist and she’s getting ready to dazzle the world. Together with Frank Nobel she started a group called Def Chronic and here is a sneak preview of things to come. You know where you heard it first..let us know what you think of this upcoming project. Check out what Seinabo had to say her self.
Woke up early this morning, took a long walk home from my uncles house. Realized that it’s up to me and only me to become who I want to be. I need to get this show out of my head and on to a stage. So I decided to let you all hear what has been on store waiting for warmer days, decided to wear the summer dress even though some people still think it’s too cold outside, Ya feel me?!
These snippets are previews, the fruit of a week in January, me, Frank and a whole lot of coffee. It’s not properly mixed just yet, that’s why I’m calling it RAW. But soon enough it’s going to be READY, little 3 plus minutes soundtracks of our life’s. Downloadable, danceable, singalongable, viewable, funkable little keys to a dream. Get ready for the EP , DEF CRONIC oooweeee.
London connect baby! We met Nick from Spine TV before Theo Parrish played at Plastic People last week. Homegirl Fatima who’s “Mind Travellin’ EP just dropped gets nothing but love. Check out this dope documentary about the Eglo fam and why Fatima is missing some hair. Big ups to Alex, Steve and Sam of course.
Tonight’s is your chance to finally meet the Eglo Records crew. Miss Fatima who you all should know by now, whether it be from the Red Bull Music Academy 2008, her recent features on Shafiq‘s “En’ A-Free-Ka” album or just from checking our website on a frequent base. Floating Points is another UK artist that has really been making noise in 2009. I remember him sending out “Love Me Like This” and I was like…yeah it’s sound okay. Months later I grew into the sound a lot more and when the “Vacuum” EP dropped I was sold.
So if you want an action-packed evening with soulful, electronic music you’d better mosey on down to Strange Fruit tonight at Grand Hotel Central in Rotterdam. In case you still need to get acquainted, here’s some audio for you to get down to.

FunkinEven 1956is the latest artist to join the ranks of Eglo records (Floating Points / Alexander Nut). Featuring the incredible vocal talent of Swedish born/Hackney bred artist Fatima(who some of you will recognize through collaborations with SA-RA’s Shafiq Husayn and Stones Throws Dam-Funk) Kleer is the title track taken from the forthcoming 4 track EP, which showcases Funkineven’s individual futuristic soul bounce. Being his debut release we felt it only right to go all out and press the vinyl up on clear wax, so hold tight for the finished product. Having already been heavily supported in it’s demo form by 1Xtra’s Benji B, the track is now finished, mastered and ready to take on the globe!
West Londoner FunkinEven creates sounds that inhabit a similar atmosphere to The Neptunes, Model 500 and Bugz In The Attic just as much as they do Cameo, NPG and Zapp. Take a listen and invent your own labels… we just know that everytime it’s been performed live it has most definitely “blown up tha spot!”. The full EP will also feature two B side tacks ‘Mad Swing’ and ‘You’, which where previously available as rough versions on the net but have now been finished, polished and mastered for your bumping enjoyment.
