So I was just cruisin’ the digital highway when I stumbled onto Kaidi Tatham‘s brand new “Kaidi’s 5ive” EP which just sounds ridiculously good. Always love the jazzy yet funky West London style Kaidi’s is on. This EP is the first in a series initiated by Jazz Re:freshed and is available for purchase via their Bandcamp page for a short time until the full digital release in September.

Dego’s solo debut “A Wha! Him Deh Pon” will finally be released on June 20th on 2000Black and to remind you all of the genius he has brought us he has enlisted the help of my man DJ Brainchild. Brainchild has compiled a great mix of both released as well as unreleased tracks by the man behind 4Hero and Silhouette Brown. Nothing more to say about this one… enjoy!

Back in 2002, Japanese label Handcuts Records put out King Britt’s “Black to the Future EP”. This 12″ was basically a mini compilation of great tunes compiled by King Britt. On the A-side you could find The Society and Charlie Dark, but man that B-side was something else. Besides a YNQ joint and a great Capitol A track it also featured the Dego & Kaidi produced Face solo track “Butter Angel”. Majorly slept on in my opinion. Enjoy!

Phonte from Little Brother/Foreign Exchange took some time to upload some unreleased gems on his Twitter/SwiftFM. From early Little Brother tracks to the Slum Village “Further” demo. Some of it is just unfinished stuff and not that great, but a nice way to see Phonte’s progression in the last 5 years. The track that stands out most is Kaidi Tatham‘s remix of Total Science’s “Wasting Time” featuring Darien Brockington. Enjoy…Photo: Tobias/Kompleks

The long awaited Eric Lau “Kilawatt: V2″ is finally out!! After his debut album “New Territories” came out we were amazed by it’s sheer dopeness. Now we hadn’t heard Muhsinah sing like this in quite a while and always a pleasure to see genius artists like Kaidi Tatham and Oddisee on a release like this. If you don’t believe in buying music please hold up for a second, because if you look at the value for money on this baby it’s not to be fucked with. For only a measly few dollars you’ll have that stupendously, insane shit pumpin’ through your speakers. Visit for that digital crack or check for that CD via Rush Hour.

A five year interim since the first LP, but good things come to those those who wait. The production and song writing trilogy Bembe Segue, Kaidi Tatham, and Dego are joined by the unmistakable vocal sounds of Philadelphia’s Lady Alma. Alma appeared on countless club classics from Sylk130’s ‘When the Funk Hits The Fan’ to Soul Dahmma’s ‘Happy’ and 4hero’s ‘Hold it Down’. Soaring with a distinctive soulful voice from start to finish showing all her versatility and warm spirit, Alma delivers “Two” into a relaxed head-nod-soul-experience. Leaning toward a hip hop sound, ‘Get With It’ features Brand Nubian’s Sadat X under unity and progression. Dego and Kaidi push a warm sumptuous melody driven groove in a way that they only know how. Guest appearance of Musical Director Akwasi on ‘Strawberries In Vinegar’ an instant boogie anthem. Buy the new Silhouette Brown album HERE.

Finally a new release from Eric Lau named “Kilawatt: V2″. This is something I’ve anxiously been waiting for. His debut album “New Territories” came out almost two years ago and was undoubtably one of the most slept on albums of it’s time. Again Eric seems to amaze the sh*t out of my by dropping four preview tracks via his Bandcamp. Now usually I’m not used to loving every single track, but these four joints sound extremely promising! Haven’t heard Muhsinah sing like this in a while and Kaidi rips the shit out of this track. The track with Oddisee is also heavy as f*ck and reminds me of some good old Little Brother ish. In other words…better save up for Kilawatt: V2 cuz this is going to be one of those album you gotta have.
