Swedish producer Erik L is back again with the fourth release on Soularp Records. This time in collaboration with Jackson, MS emcee 7even:Thirty . Erik L is known for his soulful and funk driven instrumental music, but also his work with the groups Favorite Flava and Supersci as well as artists like Frank n Dank and Cerebral Vortex to name a few. He plays a mixture of live instruments to attain his characteristic harmonic style. Since a young age 7even:Thirty, who also is a producer has worked diligently at developing his own sound, a sound he describes as a “futurefunkylectrosoulop soundscape for the ears and mind.” His first LP “Star”: The Seven Thirty Experience” has been cited an album that fans of good hip-hop music can spend some serious time enjoying and has been moving off of shelves, both physical and virtual, and out of the trunk of 7even:Thirty’s spaceship. The Rhyme Travelin EP features the Philadelphia emcee / producer Hezekiah on the track Future Flow along with guest appearances by Fulgeance, Paul Mac Innes and Stray. Out now on Soularp / Vintage Noize! Soularp

Composed, produced, enginered & mastered by Erik L. On this, his first solo album, Erik L plays every instrument himself whether it is an array of synthesizers, electric bass or laying down some nasty drum patterns. Containing very little sampling, bass heavy funk and electric soul is the base for this musical expedition. You will also recognize Erik L’s unique harmonic style, where paralells could be drawn to Nordic folk songs or even the classical European or Russian music tradition. A sound, established on the well received Favorite Flava album and tracks like Soul Symphony and Love Of Music, supported by influential minds like Benji B, Gilles Peterson, Jay Scarlett & Ennio Styles to name a few. Guest appearances by Frank n Dank, Cerebral Vortex, Paul Mac Innes & Stray. Available NOW on Soularp Records.

Ever since Motown moved to Los Angeles, sunshine and good vibes have been luring the Motor City’s most musically minded to make the same migration. Now, one of Detroit’s trustiest hip hop MCs, Frank Nitt (Frank’N'Dank), heads west to team up with producer Terrace Martin (Snoop Dogg’s Ego Trippin’), hot hookman J.Black, and Cali legend DJ Quik for the new Delicious Vinyl single: “Love”. A perfectly pitched summertime sizzler, “Love” is a celebration of devotion with the slinkiest synths since Zapp and plenty of bump for your swim trunks. Really looking forward to see the video which will be produced by 3shapemedia. Thanks to Delicious Vinyl and buy “Love” on iTunes.

Now how many people are born with the perfect DJ name? Amsterdam based Turne Edwards aka DJ Turne was one of these lucky dogs. His legendary “Turne it up dillalicious mixtape vol 1“ got mad respect from all over the globe and was actually finished the day before Dilla died. If you haven’t played this a million times yet hurry up and get it.

Since it’s spring again (no Biz Markie), Turne decided to bless everyone with a brand new mixtape and we at Moovmnt were down to host it of course. So do yourself and your friends a huge favor and download “Big Guys Need Love 2“ if you love that sweet dilladwelelittlebrotherspinnaerykahbaduslumvilld’angelo kinda sound you can vibe to.

Finally available again! One of Jay Dee’s first solo releases was actually more like a Frank-N-Dank record. The highlight is the dark bassline of “Love (Is a Thing of the Past),” but the Phat Kat-guested a-side can hang. Both 12″s  originally dropped in 2000 (even before “Welcome 2 Detroit“!) that features Jay Dee’s supreme soulful production with vocals from Frank-N-Dank. B-side wins again, with “Give it Up II” featuring a verse from the mysteriously credited BJ Dilla. Classic Detroit hip hop. Get it here.

We also recommend Houseshoes “The King James Version”. The King James Version is a smoke-filled trip through the used crates of the G.O.A.T Dilla. Cop it here.
