I remember a few years ago I heard this RoddyRod song and eversince it has been labeled as ‘untitled’ on my HD. I knew Finale and Muhsinah where on there, but now I finally know the title of this track…“Keep Transit”. Low Budget Crew member RoddyRod is releasing his “Oakwood Grain II” album next year on Nature Sounds in physical form while it’s already available in digital form as of today on Oakwood Grain II - Roddy Rod as well as on Bandcamp. An oldie, but goodie made available for free download by the homie Kenny from FRSH SLCTS.

Producer/Musician Proh Mic is preparing his album release “Rhythm for Days” dropping on October 25th via All Natural Inc. His last single on All Natural Inc was straight bangin’ with on the A-side, “Turn It Over”, which sounds like an up-tempo eighties joint with Coultrain on the vocals. Even nicer perhaps is the B-side, “Sleep In Girl”, featuring Tone Trezure, which is available as a limited free download now (1000 times max).

rbma_most_valuable_assets_400

For over a decade the Red Bull Music Academy has given young, upcoming artists a place to develop themselves. Not only do they learn, but a very important part of the RBMA is creating and exposing! What better way to do this than to record a compilation album together with fellow participants as well as more established musicians and sometimes even legends.

Under the name ‘Various Assets’ this has been done several times. These CD’s were never released to the general public and contain unreleased material as well as music that has been released like Flying Lotus his “Tea Leaf Dancers” featuring Andreya Triana. These compilation CD’s were recorded all over the world from Melbourne to Seattle and from Toronto to Barcelona.

We from Moovmnt had never actually heard all of this material and thought it would be a good idea to select our favourites and release it as a mix. Some music you might have heard on our website already, but I can assure you that some of this material has been waiting, hidden in the dust, to come out of your speakers and give you a taste of the wonderful things that are going on at the Red Bull Music Academy.

We tried to keep the mix close to our personal taste and yet it contains a divers array of different kinds of music. Enjoy some tasteful hip hop, nu-soul, future funk, soulful house, electronic music with a dash of dubstep to go out with a bang. Now we’re off to London to soak up some of that RBMA energy, so enjoy this one. We’ll be keeping you updated about what goes on behind the scenes at the Academy, so tune in for some exclusive footage, music, etc.

Recently Damon aka Dam-Funk aka the ‘Ambassador of Boogie Funk’ was in London and visited the Red Bull Music Academy to do a lecture. I must say I found it very intriging and too bad we had to miss this one. Hopefully next week we’ll have the honor of seeing Muhsinah, J.Rocc or even Flying Lotus on that couch. Really feeling D-F on never giving up on your dreams and letting nobody hold you back. Check out what else he had to say and get out the popcorn for this…enjoy!

Kilawatt V2 Cover

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 Eric Lau - Kilawatt: V2 for that digital crack or check for that CD via Rush Hour.

eric-lau-kilawatt

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.

We met with miss Muhsinah earlier this year in Rotterdam and shot some footage at her hotel. When we picked her up from the airport I asked her about her “The Oscillations: Triangle” album. We decided to get the forgotten footage out and piece together a short video especially for our Moovmnt visitors. Hope ya’ll like it and appreciate the effort we put into this.

Camera and editing by Joao Costa, to whom goes massive respect! We recently got together with Ty in Amsterdam and shot a very interesting interview. If everything goes according to plan this video will be online before the holidays. Shout out to RBMA for picking this up!

There has been heavily blogged about “The Oscillations: Triangle” on all the blogs lately, but we did not want to withhold one of the best songs from the album from you.
