Headhunters On Plug:
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.

Robin’s Dirty Secret:
Scandinavian wonder produced, Robin Hannibal, has not only been working miracles on the Boom Clap Bachelors‘ “Mellem Dine Læber” release, but also on Szjerdene‘s single “Lead The Way” on Plug Research. Robin’s little secret is out. He and his girlfriend Louie from LA made a song together entitled “Dirty Secrets”. Produced by Robin of course in the style that we’ve gotten so familiar with, but this time with some Louie sprinkled all over it instead of some Coco (Quadron). I kinda like Allison’s vocals and honestly can’t hate on Robin’s production skills either. So better I suggest you guys groove to this soulful electronic indie pop joint.

Last month Benny Tones told me to watch out for some new Julien Dyne music and behold. His newly released single on BBE includes two tracks, “Candy Apple Grey” and “Get Closer” on flipside, plus a little Christoph El Truento remix as well. For me it’s all about the b-side featuring She’s So Rad and not so much about the a-side. Visit the BBE shop for a purchase and keep in mind that his second album “Glimpse” will be releasing early next year!

The second taster from Paul White‘s new album “Paul White & The Purple Brain” is a here and features Detroit’s heavy-hitting MC Guilty Simpson. On “Ancient Treasure” he rips the shit out of this joint and Paul instantly responded with two killer remixes to turn what was supposed to be a bonus 45 cut into a fully-fledged single. Free download of the original version of “Ancient Treasure” at hi-res via Bandcamp or just spend a couple of bucks to get them all. This 12″ will be available as a bonus 3rd disc with the first 500 copies of the “Paul White & The Purple Brain” 2LP. Big ups One-Handed & Stones Throw..

The time has finally come for Ty to drop his latest “Special Kind of Fool” album on us. The first single “Emotions” (click HERE to purchase) came out last month and contained some big names on the remixes. Waajeed was one of the producers on there, but my person fav was the Dego & Akwasi‘s 2000 Black Remix. We’ve been waiting for this to drop eversince we interviewed Ty last year before his show at the Bitterzoet in Amsterdam. This release is now available via  and on CD via the BBE website, so show sum love for this Hip Hop veteran! Songs like “Heart Is Breaking”, “Get 2 The Sky”, “Me” and “Falling” are just incredible and show us that Ty still got it even after being in the game for so long. Definitely a worhty successor to “Closer” and this honestly sounds like a breath of fresh air.
