I’m sure almost everybody here knows who SBTRKT is, but in case you don’t here’s the 411. Aaron Jerome aka SBTRKT began his career at Plastic People in London and has had a steadily growing fan-base eversince. For all these music fans, he decided to share a previously unreleased song from 2009. I can say without a doubt that “Atomic Peace” is one of the favorite musical treats I’ve heard so far from SBTRKT. Never really felt the need to post about this guy, but after having heard this I think it’s about time to do so.

Exclusive Brazil Giveaway:
I remember visiting London for the first time when I was just 14. Me and the homie Mr. Speak jumped on a plane and went digging for records mainly. Most of the record stores we visited then, don’t exist anymore. Happy to still have those memories though. That Reggae shop was one of my favorite spots that trip and Mr Bongo was located in the same building if I remember correctly.
Now Mr Bongo recently launched their brand new website and online store. To celebrate this, they’ve put together a 10-track sampler containing the finest of the current Mr Bongo sound. They’re giving this away as a freebie via their Bandcamp page for the next 30 days…so hurry up and download.
Almost two decades later I still have love for Mr Bongo because they’ve been rereleasing some incredible albums from Brazil. They’re even in the process of launching their first venture within Brazil so we can expect even more beautiful exclusive music to come our way. One of our favorite albums rereleased on Mr Bongo this year is without a doubt Cravo & Canela‘s “Preço De Cada Um”. Take a look at their impressive catalogue while you’re at it.
In celebration of their new site we’ve been given the opportunity to give away 3 x CD’s and 3 x LP’s of our favorite Mr. Bongo rerelease to our visitors (that’s you). So if you would like to WIN one of these Cravo & Canela CD’s or LP’s for FREE here’s what you have to do.
1. Send an email to info@moovmnt.com (before Nov. 25 2011) and tell us why you need to win this album.
2. Don’t forget to mention to put ‘Mr Bongo’ in the subject title and also put ‘CD’ or ‘LP’ in there so we’ll know what your preference is.

Some Unofficial Sweet Talk?:
Yesterday ARP101 dropped another funky gem on his Soundcloud page (which you should visit from time to time). This time a remix for Kito & Reija Lee‘s “Sweet Talk” which came out on Mad Decent. Check out a low bitrate stream below and enjoy! Too bad the download was limited to just 100 dl’s, but we might get another shot at this in the future.

It’s not often that I come across a new jazz artist that really captures me, but 28 year old London based Zara McFarlane definitely is one of them. Recently signed to Gilles Peterson’s Brownswood Recordings, Zara is releasing her full length LP “Until Tomorrow” on October 10th. Apart from tracks off the previously self released “Until Tomorrow EP” it includes new original material as well as 2 covers of tracks by the late Harry Whitaker. As said above the album is set to be released on October 10th, but you can pre order it here. For more on Zara McFarlane visit her Facebook page.

Wasn’t quite sure if I should post this one or not, but whenever something gives me goosebumps I just go with my gut feeling. London singer/songwriter/cellist Ayanna released her new EP entitled “Truthfully” yesterday. Honestly this sent chills down my spine even though it’s not a style of music I would normally listen to. Ayanna wrote and arranged all songs herself, but got a little help on the productional side from Marc Mac (4hero). The song that stood out for me was “Let Me Go” with Robert Mitchell on piano. This gorgeous EP is available HERE.
