Something like four months ago, Soia (vocals) & MEZ (production) put the song “Obtaining” on their Soundcloud. It was only until a few weeks ago that the homie Front2blaq made me aware of this one. The Vienna-based artists are currently working together on their upcoming EP set to release next year. Kinda reminds me a little of some ’07 Kissey Asplund stuff, which is neither good nor bad. It just is. Oh well…again we slept on something for a while. That’s what these Sundays are for right?!

Sam is a DJ/producer from Brooklyn who has done some productions for Kissey Asplund and Selan Lerner. Normally I’m not that big on remixes, but this one has got my stamp of approval. In grim times like these, we need more soulfullness and this is what the doctor ordered. Enjoy this free download, visit his Bandcamp and be on the look out for his Remix EP.

Nitta
HEADZ

Now I’ve been watching Nitta for a while too. “Bring The Light” is down right dirty, electronic space funk with a twist of nastyness. This got me very curious about upcoming future releases.

Last weekend I was Twittin’ it and stumbled upon this Suff Daddy track I hadn’t heard before. I thought it was about time we did a write-up about this producer from Berlin so here it is. He produced music for Kissey Asplund and on his EP “EFIL4FFUS” (Melting Pot) he teamed up with the likes of Kev Brown, Oddisee and Miles Bonny. Suff sent us some exclusive joints and we wanted to share LOTTAHYDRO with ya’ll.
Hopefully he will drop his new EP this april or may and also be sure you check out his free mixtapes on his myspace!
