Today a legend told his story to a select group of people and we were lucky enough to be there. Tony Allen is undeniably the best Afrobeat drummer ever and he came all the way to Amsterdam for a Red Bull Music Academy masterclass .
Now RBMA was so nice to give us 20 copies of their “Various Assets” (Barcelona 2008) CD’s to give away to our very own Moovmnt visitors. The CD also contains application info for artists interested in signing up for the RMBA 2010 in London. Leave a comment saying why you should get a copy of the Various Assets CD or ADD us to twitter and DM us! You can also send an email to contact@moovmnt.com, but people that leave a comment and our twitter buddies get first dibs!
The Fatima & Dorian Concept joint is from the Various Assets album and we had to hook ya’ll up with some brand new Zap Mama music with Tony Allen and Meshell Ndegeocello from the new “ReCreation” album.

The fellas at Kindred were so kind to hook us up with the promo and I let me tell you…I was pretty psyched about this album. I was a real big HEAVy fan five years ago and fell in love with Nicky Guiland and Casey Benjamin (a.k.a. HEAVy) because of the gigantic classic Do For You.
In 2004 a limited EP was released on Kindred Spirits. Five years later HEAVy drops their First Sessions album filled with classic and unreleased material from their early days. Be sure to peep those killer remixes by none other then Jazzanova, YamWho? and DJ Spinna. A true classic for real soul lovers and the perfect addition for HEAVy fans. Go check it out, enjoy and pre-order First Sessions at Rush Hour.

Jazzanova and Verve along with their partners from Ableton and Soundcloud invite everybody to participate in a remix contest: The Berlin-based DJ and producer collective Jazzanova puts the tracks of its latest single ‘I Can See’ at your disposal for remixing. Which is kind of funny since normally it are the folks from Jazzanova that remix tracks of artists like Lenny Kravitz, Common, Ursula Rucker, 4hero, Master At Work, Fat Freddys Drop, United Future Organization, Azymuth, or Calixo. Now they offer one of their very own tracks to their ‘competitors’.
A attractive set of prizes is waiting for the lucky winners- on top the chance of a digital release on Jazzanova’s Berlin-based label Sonarkollektiv. The remixes will be presented on the Jazzanova website and Soundcloud. And the winner of the competition will be picked by the Jazzanova expert team itself. Deadline is the 15th December, 2008.
