Seems like almost yesterday, but in fact it was 5 years ago the first compilation came out. Once again they’re back with “Brownswood Bubblers Seven” this time which will be out on the 26th. Lots of music from Jon Phonics, KING, Chris Turner, Jesse Boykins, Tall Black Guy, The Park and Ntjam Rosie so keep an eye out for this one.

Chris Turner sure is one of those artists to look out for in 2011. I met Chris two weeks ago in Rotterdam where he was singing background for Bilal, and I’ve been listening to this LoveCHILD Prequel EP that he was selling ever since. Now today he leaked “StickyGREEN” which was also on the EP. Just in case you don’t check MOOVMNT daily, you might also want to catch up on his first single “Liquid Love“.

This remix has been in the works for quite some time. Bilal is a mysterious dude. You never know what might or might not move him. Same goes for Black Milk. These guys move at their own pace and at their own times. Initially, upon listening to the roughs of the album, “The Dollar” was one of the tracks that led Plug Research to sign Bilal.

Bilal is back with his “Levels” EP that includes the original, an instrumental version and two remixes. First is by L.A.’s big dawg Flying Lotus and the other one is from Sonnymoon. Really digg FlyLo’s mellowed out version, so give it a listen. Or go ahead and purchase the EP via or the Plug Research shop.

We’ve been telling you about Virginia-born Nottz for a while now and the time has finally arrived. Tomorrow he is set to release his self-produced debut “You Need This Music”and here’s the verdict. Eventhough I’ve already heard quite a few tracks of the new album, it’s still well worth your money. I don’t buy CD’s very often, but in case I come across a copy I’m picking this up for sure. Nottz’ style is very refreshing and it’s not just one trick he pulls of. If you listen to “Right Here” featuring Bilal, you hear how divers the album really is. One of my favourites is without a doubt “I Still Love You” featuring Mayer Hawthorne, where Nottz declares his love for Roxanne Shante reminiscent of the early days of hiphop. Simply said…this album gives me a positve feeling and that’s something that doesn’t happen very often any more. It’s going to be on repeat for the next few days and I might even have to put this in my top 10 for this year…we’ll see. Don’t hesitate and get it on now!

VTech is premiering the first official music video off of Bilal‘s new album “Airtight’s Revenge” (Plug Research), directed and edited by Michael Sterling Eaton. In case you haven’t listened to the new album yet, I suggest you head on over to and give it an intense listen.
The following footage was recorded during the free performance that the Miguel Atwood-Ferguson Ensemble hosted in Los Angeles recently, featuring some of today’s brightest talent. You’ve probably seen the video with Bilal already and now get ready for another amazing piece of music. This time around, check out the video from the Miguel Atwood-Ferguson Ensemble featuring LA based and Brainfeeder master-mind, Flying Lotus. Alongside the all-star cast of musicians, enjoy everyone doing a rendition of “Drips” from Flying Lotus’s recently released album “Cosmogramma” and “Take Notice” an arrangement of a J Dilla original from his “Ruff Draft” EP. The audio portion of “Drips/Take Notice” is also available for free mp3 download via Miguel Atwood-Ferguson’s Bandcamp page.
