The third edition of The Gardens is a special one. Our friends Full Crate & FS Green have recently released their Hi-Hat Club Vol. 5: Eggs And Pancakes album on Melting Pot Music and this needed to be celebrated. I’d like to thank the guys from Cologne for last weeks release party in Germany and this Friday it’s time for the Amsterdam release party at the Bitterzoet. Not only will you be hearing the album through some bad ass speakers, but there will also be a limited amount of vinyl available for a special price. So come on over to support and get loose.
Manga & Crate decided to put together a blend of some soulful stuff for you and yours and behold…the The Gardens: November Nicess blend was a fact. You can either listen to it via Mixcloud or download it directly. Remember to visit us every 1st Friday of the month…hope to see ya’ll this Friday!

Fashionably late, but right on time we present to you the “Conversations With Her” EP. Now a lot of you got hip to Full Crate & Mar through us and it’s only logic that we support these guys like we have been doing from the get go. This soulful, soothing piece of music was something we’ve been looking forward to for a long time and finally it’s here. Thanks to Melting Pot Music for releasing this and hope to see a lot of you at the release party Saturday 23rd at the Bitterzoet in Amsterdam (more info after the jump).
Eric Roberson was so impressed with “She Was Fly” that he decided to record some slick vocals over it. That version is also on the EP, together with my favorite joint “Surreal Moments”. Just had to stream that one, cuz it has been on repeat for over a month now. I urge you to get your digital copy via 
or for the vinyl-lovers that good old wax via HHV or Loop23! [photo credits: Robert Winter]

Eric Roberson is back after two years with a long awaited reply after “Left”. He says: “I’m a singer and a songwriter…but I’m a music fan first”. His upcoming album “Music Fan First” features artists like Lalah Hathaway, W. Ellington Felton, Sy Smith and Slum Village. Leading up to the release Eric has been running a ’17 days to Music Fan First’ promotion. Each day he previews and explains the thought behind each track and you can view them HERE. Available on CD and digital download August 24th or pre-order via Dome Records. If you happen to be in London on the 25th hop by the Traffic Bar to enjoy the official album release party. Shout out to miss Rah from soulBEAUTIFUL inc…
