So after having had “Conversations With Her”Mar steps his game up a notch and is now “Seeing Her Naked”. The real question here is, who is this mysterious ‘her’ that Mar sings about time after time? His latest “Seeing Her Naked” EP contains five songs and was co-produced by FS Green and Full Crate. Photography was done by Angela Tellier, while Deluge took care of the of the design. Make sure you grab this free download, because you might find something sexy on there.

I’m pretty sure Saoul is the first one-man-do-it-all artists from Romania ever posted on the site. We received an email with the info that a few days ago his debut album “Autopilot” was released via Bandcamp. It’s a mix between smooth Soul, catchy pop and much more blends of genres. Not everything on there was made for our ears, but we definitely recognize some quality here!

Toronto rapper D.O. (aka Defy the Odds) released his debut album, “The Northstarr”, back in 2007. Now there’s a few songs on there with fellow CanadianSlakah The Beatchild and “No Matter What” is definitely a slept on gem. Been bumping this for a few years, but on a Sunday like this one we have to share and care. In case you’re looking to buy some of this, make you way over to .
The homie Buscrates is treating us to a super nice mix he recorded live at 720 Records in Pittsburgh to celebrate Herbie Hancock‘s 72nd birthday (on April 12th, so happy birthday Herbie!!). You can tell Orlando is a huge Herbie fan and I have to say this mix is just what we needed to hear today. So thank you Herbie for the music and Buscrates for selecting some of your favorites. Make sure get this free download while it’s nice and hot.
Oh dear, how could we almost forget about Scratcha DVA‘s “Pretty Ugly” album? It was released last month on Hyperdub Records and kind of slipped our ears so to speak. However this album is surely not to be slept on I tell ya. There’s a few hidden gems to be found on here featuring a bunch of incredibly talented artists such as Vikter Duplaix, Fatima, Muhsinah, Zaki Ibrahim, Natalie Maddix, Cornelia & AL. Below you’ll also find DVA’s latest video of “Why U Do”. Oh and head on over to if you’d like to purchase please.

We heard about Leon Ware coming out with a new song featuring Quadron a few weeks ago. Not much info was available yet, but luckily we found a stream for you on Soundcloud. Later this month “Orchids For The Sun” is coming out on 12″ vinyl on the Los Angeles-based label Quieres Chicle Records. This was destined to be dope if you ask me!
A promise is a promise is a promise! It’s that time of the week again and I’m not talking about church. The third consecutive Slept on Sundays is a fact after a long leave of absence. Today we have an oldie from Innerzone Orchestra featuring Paul Randolph. Their version of “People Make The World Go Round” came out around 2000 on Planet E and contained a few remixes from J88, Ta’Raach and Kenny Dixon Jr. We thought we’d share the J88 remix with you since it’s down right nasty!

“Breathtaking sparkles, glimmering fractions. What melodical madness causes such satisfaction?”
Times flies I tell ya! Already time for part three of our monthly “Glimering Fractions” mix. March’s birthstone is Bloodstone (see our Soundcloud page for a little more info). Tried to fill almost an hour again with nothing but audible niceness. If you’re feeling this, please be so kind to share it. It’s available for download on our Soundcloud page or you can stream it via Mixcloud as well.
Monkey_sequence.19 from Sendai Japan is one of those producers we don’t hear that much about here in Europe unless you hang out at the record shop all day long. Hopefully this is going to change with his latest 12″ single “Pretend” featuring Mar on the vocals. The original version is kinda on the smooth tip, but wait till you get to the two remixes on here! First we have Kan Sano coming with a beautiful feel good remix that sounds magical at times. As if that wasn’t enough we also have Julien Dyne droppin’ a heavy synth-filled remix that will knock your socks right off. You might have heard me play this in last January’s “Glimmering Fractions” mix, but it’s out officially via Wonderful Noise. Be on the look out for that at your local record shop or go ahead and order it at Rush Hour!

I know some of you’ve been missing our Slept on Sundays a lot. In the future we’ll be trying our best to maintain the focus on providing you with a weekly dose of ‘throwback’ music. Since Moovmnt is celebrating it’s 5th anniversary in December, we must admit to have slept on some tunes over the years . Also some music we couldn’t post about simply because the blog did not exist yet. An example of some incredible music, we weren’t able to post about is Shuya Okino‘s “United Legends” album, which came out in 2006. There are a couple of dope songs on this release, but one of our favs is “What Would I Do Without You?” (produced by Mark de Clive-Lowe) featuring Vikter Duplaix.
