This upcoming weekend the Moovmnt crew (that’s us) will be throwing our monthly party both in Amsterdam and Rotterdam. Some of you might know that we are based in the two major cities this small country calls their capitols. Tomorrow we’ll be playing at the MiNiBAR in Amsterdam together with our buddy Sotu the Traveller. Since we’re still kinda recovering from the RBMA, we’ll be playing some music on the sneak tip. We got some exclusive joints at the academy and there’s a lot of great music on the “Various Assets” CD’s as well. While you’re ad it…download the FREE “Most Valuable Assets” mix HERE!
On Saturday we invite you to have a drink at De Unie in Rotterdam where none other than Bluntspeakers will be playing. No doubt he’ll be giving us some sneak previews of his upcoming releases and we’ll make sure you get your soultronic, boogielicious vibe on. Next month we have a special, ‘Timeless’ treat for ya’ll at De Unie! More info on that very soon.
For over a decade the Red Bull Music Academy has given young, upcoming artists a place to develop themselves. Not only do they learn, but a very important part of the RBMA is creating and exposing! What better way to do this than to record a compilation album together with fellow participants as well as more established musicians and sometimes even legends.
Under the name ‘Various Assets’ this has been done several times. These CD’s were never released to the general public and contain unreleased material as well as music that has been released like Flying Lotus his “Tea Leaf Dancers” featuring Andreya Triana. These compilation CD’s were recorded all over the world from Melbourne to Seattle and from Toronto to Barcelona.
We from Moovmnt had never actually heard all of this material and thought it would be a good idea to select our favourites and release it as a mix. Some music you might have heard on our website already, but I can assure you that some of this material has been waiting, hidden in the dust, to come out of your speakers and give you a taste of the wonderful things that are going on at the Red Bull Music Academy.
We tried to keep the mix close to our personal taste and yet it contains a divers array of different kinds of music. Enjoy some tasteful hip hop, nu-soul, future funk, soulful house, electronic music with a dash of dubstep to go out with a bang. Now we’re off to London to soak up some of that RBMA energy, so enjoy this one. We’ll be keeping you updated about what goes on behind the scenes at the Academy, so tune in for some exclusive footage, music, etc.
MOOVMNT consists of a small group of like-minded music devotees, that blog about and provide you with the best in contemporary Soul, Hip Hop, Electronica, Beats, Funk, House and many other different styles of music.
