A few weeks ago Mark de Clive-Lowe and Nia Andrews did an amazing live session on Santa Monica’s KCRW. Now one track in the session stood out in particular to me and that was their rendition of Aaliyah’s “More Than A Woman”. I’m usually very picky when it comes to covers, especially covers of songs I love, but they nailed this one. Enjoy, and if you haven’t already go check out the full session over at KCRW.

Another year has passed us by again. For the thrird time we’re gonna end the year with our very own ‘Best of 2011′.

We wish you a blessed 2012 with loads of great music and make sure you go out with a blast!!
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 .

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.

Got this new Mark de Clive-Lowe single in a while ago and noticed that the folks from Tru Thoughts are giving this one away as a free download. I asked Mark if we could stream an additional little gem of his upcoming “Renegades”, but we’re gonna have to wait a bit since it’s not due until November 14th. His single “The Why” featuring nia andrews is the first single to be lifted from the upcoming “Renegades” album containing a bad ass remix from Maddslinky (who’s dropping his own new album this Monday). Mashi is bringing some crazy heat this fall so you’d best believe the hype!

Last week me and the homie Mr. Speak were just hanging out and decided to put together this “The Future of Funk” mix. It’s a well known fact I like that Modern Funk so I thought it was only fitting to share my love with the rest of the world. Did my best to get some exclusives in there together with a healthy dose of that bomb funk. Many thanks to all the artists for helping me put this together and thanks to Deluge for the last minute cover art. Enjoy this 45 minute ride to the funky side. Destination…The Future of Funk!
