Jazz pianist/producer, Kan Sano, just uploaded a can of whoop-ass to his Soundcloud page in the form of “Stole”. What more can I say? Some of that sexy, laid back future vintage right here…no doubt! If you guys are quick you can still grab a free download, but I think there’s only 50 more left so hurry.

Seravince consists of producer/keyboard player Vincent Helbers and drummer Richard Spaven who have been working together for quite some time now. The band is heavily influenced by Jazz, Soul, Hip Hop and as you can hear Broken Beat. Their upcoming album, “Hear To See”, will have guest vocals from Renee Neufville (Zhane) and Sharlene Hector. When we got the opportunity to share this unreleased song entitled, “Unrequited Love”, featuring Renee Neufville with you guys we were more than happy to do so. Sit back and enjoy this lovely song. Oh in case you’re in the neighborhood. This Friday the whole band, including Renee Neufville and Sharlene Hector, will be performing live at BIRD in Rotterdam!

Tokyo-based Ovall is spiritual jazz/hip hop band that kinda flew under our radar. The band consists of the following members: Shingo Suzuki (bass/keyboard), Mabanua (drums) and Shingo Sekiguchi (guitar). Their first, “Heart Fever” EP, fuses live instruments with the art of sampling to come out sounding quite interesting. We wanted to share this Slept on Sundays joint “Beautiful Love”, of their debut EP released on Origami Productions which is available on Heart Fever - EP - Ovall in case you were wondering.

Out of nowhere M-phazes drops this new Jean Grae song, “U & Me & Everyone, We Know”, on his Soundcloud of her upcoming album “Cake or Death”. Some intelligent Hip Hop with heavy Jazz influences…I like it. Keys by Damian Smith, bass by Sean Windsor, intro bass by Brady Watt, horns by B Free and produced by Melbourne’s very own M-phazes.

Diggs Duke blew us away last year with his “Gravity” EP and when he emailed us he was doing a new project I was kinda excited at first. Then I heard some drafts of his “Black Gold” EP and was less impressed, for it was rather short and didn’t have that same killer vibe to it that Gravity had. Still I think you’ll enjoy the title cut and the good news is that the first 1200 people get a free download. You can either pay $0 or if you like, pay a little extra and show some love. Not a bad way to start out the new year..

The Moovmnt crew wishes a merry Christmas to each and everyone. This Slept on Sundays Santa is dedicated to a song that has been a big favorite of mine for a few years. It’s from Emanative and is called “When On Earth” (Rapson Remix). The original came out as a 7″ on Futuristica Music and later on the “Time” album in 2010. Please enjoy this wonderful day and we hope this piece of music will help make that day just a little bit better. In case you’d like to buy this as a present for youself head on over to Time - Emanative and cop that.
