Fashionably late, but right on time we present to you the “Conversations With Her” EP. Now a lot of you got hip to Full Crate & Mar through us and it’s only logic that we support these guys like we have been doing from the get go. This soulful, soothing piece of music was something we’ve been looking forward to for a long time and finally it’s here. Thanks to Melting Pot Music for releasing this and hope to see a lot of you at the release party Saturday 23rd at the Bitterzoet in Amsterdam (more info after the jump).
Eric Roberson was so impressed with “She Was Fly” that he decided to record some slick vocals over it. That version is also on the EP, together with my favorite joint “Surreal Moments”. Just had to stream that one, cuz it has been on repeat for over a month now. I urge you to get your digital copy via or for the vinyl-lovers that good old wax via HHV or Loop23!

Finally some new soul ish! I remember the new classic soul movement being huge early 2000, but nowadays we sadly have to settle with an occasional album. Luckily I stumbled upon AB‘s new album entitled “Student of My Dream” which is a breath of fresh air. Allthough it contains some songs you may have heard on other projects before, still this one is a definate must to get. Productions by Black Milk, 14KT, SlimKat78 and appearances by Slum Village and Black Milk. Get this FREE download HERE!
