One of our favorite Kiwi producers, Mark de Clive-Lowe, has been residing in Los Angeles for quite some time now and has returned with his “Renegades”album on Tru Thoughts. Still lots of West London Broken Beats and other melodic uptempo flavors as well. Mashi gets a little help from various vocalists such as Omar, Sheila E, Tawiah, Bembe Segue, Nia Andrews & Ovasoul7. All in all a great new album to shake them hips to. I’m sure the club DJ’s are gonna be happy with this one cuz it sure do bump. Pre-order the CD over at Rush Hour or get a digital copy at .

Over two months ago Soopafly released his new “Best Kept Secret” album. Not really our type of hype, but there’s one crazy Funk jam on there entitled “GFunk Martian” featuring DāM-FunK & Terrace Martin that we had to share. In case you do want to purchase this one, go ahead and visit . This flew right under our radar so big up to the guys from Los Bangeles for getting us hip to this one.

I remember Nev coming with these Teebs beats years ago and now this release on Brainfeeder. A lot has changed in the years and “Collections” 01 is a journey. The follow-up to “Ardour” offers some brand new world perspectives into the world of Teebs. Some nice features on this album from harpist Rebekah Raff and label buddy Austin Peralta. Buy the album at if you dig or pre-order a vinyl copy at Rush Hour.

Man I love waking up Saturday morning with video’s like these. I guess it kinda reminds me of Yo MTV Raps! MED‘s “Blaxican” was produced by Madlib and is taken from the “Classic” album dropping November 1st. The video was director by Mochilla’s Eric Coleman and shot in LA as you can see.
Salva has been dropping nothing but major releases all over this year. Not everything was my style, I admit, but gotta hand it to Paul for really taking the bull by the horns. His latest “Yellobone” EP will be released next month on FoF Music. I remember meeting Paul last summer in Frisco and he seemed like a quite guy. This year he’s participating in the Red Bull Music Academy. Thanks to FoF for leaking the best song on the EP and making it available as a free download! Grab some Salva & B. Bravo funk while it lasts..

A few months ago we got this promo CD in the mail and it slipped my mind that this “Shapes 11:01″ compilation was released last week. I remember this new Mark de Clive-Lowe song, “Push”, of his upcoming “Renegades” album being on there (also out on Tru Thoughts next month). It features Bembe Segue and Nia Andrews on the vocals. This compilation is out on 2 x CD and on vinyl (available at HHV.de) and contains some heavy hitters from Zed Bias aka Maddslinky, MdCL, Nostalgia 77, Hidden Orchestra, Quantic and a whole lot more.

For those unaware it all started out when Black Spade moved to the west and met fellow producer Proh Mic at the Do-Over in LA. They hit it off from the bat and soon brought in I,Ced. Ced was living in Hawthorne California at the time thus the Hawthorne Headhunters collective were born. When Coultrain also joined, the group released their debut EP in 2009 with HVW8. Along the way a lot has changed and Proh Mic and Ced decided to go their own way and persue a solo career. Black Spade and Coultrain recorded their “Myriad of Now” album which will be released next year on Plug Research and has lots of elements of hip hop, soul, funk, pop and electronic influences. It speaks on spirituality, sexuality and everything in between. You might remember us posting “Teleport” of of the “If You Were My Baby” single. Next up is their fresh 5-track EP which is available on as of today.
