Headhunters On Plug:

For those unaware it all started out when Black Spade moved to the west and met fellow producer Proh Mic at the Do-Over in LA. They hit it off from the bat and soon brought in I,Ced. Ced was living in Hawthorne California at the time thus the Hawthorne Headhunters collective were born. When Coultrain also joined, the group released their debut EP in 2009 with HVW8. Along the way a lot has changed and Proh Mic and Ced decided to go their own way and persue a solo career. Black Spade and Coultrain recorded their “Myriad of Now” album which will be released next year on Plug Research and has lots of elements of hip hop, soul, funk, pop and electronic influences. It speaks on spirituality, sexuality and everything in between. You might remember us posting “Teleport” of of the “If You Were My Baby” single. Next up is their fresh 5-track EP which is available on Myriad of Now - EP - Hawthorne Headhunters as of today.

Few years ago Dimlite and Elan Tamara we were up to record a whole album or at least an EP together. Then… a plethora of hindrances came along and the folder named ‘Elan + Dim’ remained untouched ever since. These songs are from 2007 / 08, they are and will forever be in demo state. But instead of trashing them… They decided to give it away. Dimlite

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.

direct-soul-Gold

When L.A. based Erik Rico and Marc Mac (4hero) hooked up in the studio this summer, “Direct Soul” was born. The Direct Soul EP was really captured in a moment of time with all 4 tracks recorded in one late afternoon session in Marc’s small Bedfordshire studio. The only guideline was not to let the boundaries of tempo & style limit the creation. Marc’s Afro-Latinic frame fused with Tech-Soul forms the bedding for Erik’s unique vocal style. A real modern day fusion many musical stylese and stretching our perception of SOUL! Available via Direct right now and via their Bandcamp page.
