Most of you will remember Julien Dyne from his “Pins and Digits” EP from last year. Right before Christmas Julien is releasing his brand new “Glimpse” album on Wonderful Noise. We wrote a little something about the single several months ago in case you forgot. While Wonder Noise is taking care of the Asian side of business, BBE will be suplying the rest of the world. Rest assure there will be plenty of opportunities for you to get your grubby little hands on this release. This will be coming out on CD and digitally. A limited vinyl album sampler EP will drop somewhere in February via WN as well so keep your ear out! For now you can visit Japan and cop digitally.

It feels like years ago, but lil’ Frans aka FS Green is back with a very nice production for Toronto’s rapper ELMNT. Now Toronto wouldn’t be representing without some smooth vocals from Slakah The Beatchild on this motherfucker…right!? Enjoy this soulful hip hop joint and buy this for just $1 at ELMNT’s Bandcamp page.

Last month Benny Tones told me to watch out for some new Julien Dyne music and behold. His newly released single on BBE includes two tracks, “Candy Apple Grey” and “Get Closer” on flipside, plus a little Christoph El Truento remix as well. For me it’s all about the b-side featuring She’s So Rad and not so much about the a-side. Visit the BBE shop for a purchase and keep in mind that his second album “Glimpse” will be releasing early next year!

Brooklyn’s T.R.A.C. released a single on BBE just recently, but we wanted to give a sneak peak of his upcoming “The Network” album produced by Marc Mac instead. This will be out in exactly 1 month, but can be pre-ordered HERE already.

I won’t lie…honestly I’ve been waiting for this Slakah The Beatchild EP for weeks and finally got it in the mail today. Could this be one of the top 10 releases of 2010? Rarely have I encountered a 7-track EP that blew me away. Normally you find one or perhaps two good songs on an EP, if that. But “Something Forever” is 100% pure quality. No fillers, no intro + outro…nah just seven wonderful tracks that don’t even sound alike. Please pay attention to this release producers. This is how it should be done! In my opinion Slakah’s putting BBE on the map again. Of course I liked Ty’s album and I loved the fact that they re-released the Electric Wire Hustle album in Europe. But between all the good compilations they’re dropping, I’ve been really missing this fresh new sound out of the BBE camp. Trust me on this…you want to pre-order this one.

And yet again DJ Spinna mixes the entire “Strange Games & Funky Things” Vol. 5 into one smooth mix for you to enjoy. On the 28th the compilation drops on BBE so get a taste of that funky stuff in the meanwhile.
I remember the good old days when BBE released one of the best compilation series ever. All rare Soul and Funk tunes that you’d have to pay a fortune for to find on original vinyl. Great news…the “Strange Games & Funky Things” series is returning. Volume 5 is set to release later this year, but to get everyone’s attention they are releasing a limited 7-inch (1000 copies) first.
The S.S.O. Orchestra from Belgium released “Faded Lady” back in ’76 which later became a classic hip hop breakbeat. Enchanting strings and a killer bass line where more than enough reason for Diamond D to sample it on his debut album and more recently Busta Rhymes sampled it as well. August 30th is your chance to get a copy of this re-release with a very very rare instrumental version on the flipside.

The homie Myele from Electric Wire Hustle informed me that they will be playing in Amsterdam on Monday 19th at the Sugar Factory. In case you’re not hip to these New Zealand cats yet, check out their epk (via BBE) and rehearsal video shot at the RBMA studio in London (presented by Pinboard) below. BBE is also re-releasing EWH’s debut selftitled album in a few weeks and I’m hoping for some vinyl.
I suggest you come check out Psst New Music with Electric Wire Hustle, Ladi6 and Parks, because from 8:30pm till 1:00am it’s ON. The homie Full Crate will be playing some soulfulness as well and please take a look at this video Suite903 shot of him and Mar talking about how fly she was. Damage is only €8.50 or if you’re lucky you might win some FREE tickets (2 x 2). Simply place a comment or email (contest[@]moovmnt.com) stating the reason why you love Electric Wire Hustle so damn much.

Two years ago, Slakah the Beatchild dropped “Soul Movement Vol.1″ on us and boy was it sweet. Nowadays good Nu-Soul music is getting harder and harder to find for the simple fact that less and less artists are making it. Together with Ebrahim and Tingsek, Slakah is promoting their “Vibe, Love, Smile” tour and because their Detroit tour got cancelled, the trio decided to share “War Within” with everybody.

The time has finally come for Tyto drop his latest “Special Kind of Fool” album on us. The first single “Emotions” (click HERE to purchase) came out last month and contained some big names on the remixes. Waajeed was one of the producers on there, but my person fav was the Dego & Akwasi‘s 2000 Black Remix. We’ve been waiting for this to drop eversince we interviewed Ty last year before his show at the Bitterzoet in Amsterdam. This release is now available via and on CD via the BBE website, so show sum love for this Hip Hop veteran! Songs like “Heart Is Breaking”, “Get 2 The Sky”, “Me” and “Falling” are just incredible and show us that Ty still got it even after being in the game for so long. Definitely a worhty successor to “Closer” and this honestly sounds like a breath of fresh air.
