Ya’ll know our homie AD Bourke from his funky “Mirage” album. What you don’t know is that he’s back on some other shit with with his “Tidal Motion” EP, coming out next week on Space Dimension Controller‘s Basic Rhythm label. This just sounds incredibly dope, but what do you expect…it’s kind of an RBMA 2010 affair. The EP should really be on your ‘to-cop-list’ so don’t hesitate and pre-order the record over at Rush Hour now!

So apparently Peven Everett released a new 11 track album last month. I guess it’s a typical Peven Everett album, meaning “Medicine Man” contains a few dope joints but could’ve been so much more. Really too bad that Peven has never really created that one masterpiece of an album which he is surely capable of! Had to look for this one, but finally found out it’s available via Bandcamp and Indiekazoo in case you want to purchase it.

So last week was the official release of Reel People‘s “Golden Lady” album. It contains mostly songs and remixes from Reel People, but there’s also a few other releases on there released on Reel People Music like the BSTC joint featuring JL.

I remember working in a record shop in Amsterdam called Dancetracks in ’99 for a short while. One of the records that caught me attention was Zed Bias with “Neighborhood” on Locked On. Back then it was the era of Garage of music which came in many shapes and forms. In the here and now his alias Maddslinky is back during what we can now define as the era of Electronica and Dubstep.
His album “Make a Change” is quite divers and manages to blend many different genres plus it contains one of the best soulful Dubstep tunes made up till now. We were all over “Further Away” featuring Tawiah last year and played it as often as possible. Another banging mix between genres is “Lionheart” where Reggae and Dubstep are blended into one. On “Special” Maddslinky and UK soul singer Omar hit you with a soothing mix of soulful house and broken beats with that typical Zed Bias bass. For the rest this album contains lots of UK Garage, UK Funky and Dubstep flavoured tunes with loads of piano melodies warm Juno synths. Out now on Tru Thoughts and available via so act accordingly!

Mark de Clive-Lowe manages to put a smile on our faces once more. This time teaming up with US singer/songwriter Sy Smith…a match made in heaven! Variations come from Bertrand’s slightly more 4/4 anchored rubs and Seiji’s renegade West London flavoured angles. I suggest you feed your digital craving HERE.

We’ve been using Mixcloud for almost a year now mainly thanks to their usability and handy widget. When they asked us to take part in their “Celebration of Curation” campaign, we felt honoured to be a part of it and so the whole team got together to put together a mix worthy of this celebration. In the playlist you’ll find some brand new, as well as classic, Electronic Beats, Hip Hop, Broken and even some Soulful House music. Some of the biggest editorial voices in the world of music were invited to produce an exclusive Cloudcast for their campaign – 31 days, 31 curators, 31 Cloudcasts. Go check out what we and our colleagues from BBC1xtra, Red Bull Music Academy, Laid Back, XLR8R and others have put together HERE.
Once again we bring it live to the MiNiBAR in Amsterdam, where tomorrow our special guest is none other than Mark de Clive-Lowe. This genius needs no introduction and it’s an honor to have him play at our monthly party. We als record our very first official show on Red Bull Radio tomorrow as well, so Mark will drop by to bless the airwaves as well. Every month we’ll be recording Moovmnt Radio at the Sugar Factory in Amsterdam, so any artists in the neighborhood…holla if you want to be come visit. The show will be available online somewhere next week (if Red Bull decides to send it this time). The previous show we recorded was a pilot, but it never made it into our hands inbox.
Back to business. Your bar or mine? Expect some Nu-Soul, Hip Hop, Nu-Jazz/Broken Beat, Soulful House and much much more. In the meanwhile…get in the mood with Mark’s “Quintessential” with Kaidi on the Moog of the “Tide’s Arising” album which is available via

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.
MOOVMNT consists of a small group of like-minded music devotees, that blog about and provide you with the best in contemporary Soul, Hip Hop, Electronica, Beats, Funk, House and many other different styles of music.
