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.

Something like four months ago, Soia (vocals) & MEZ (production) put the song “Obtaining” on their Soundcloud. It was only until a few weeks ago that the homie Front2blaq made me aware of this one. The Vienna-based artists are currently working together on their upcoming EP set to release next year. Kinda reminds me a little of some ’07 Kissey Asplund stuff, which is neither good nor bad. It just is. Oh well…again we slept on something for a while. That’s what these Sundays are for right?!

You might gave heard about Africa HiTech on the low or heard some exclusives on Benji B‘s Deviation. I’ve always loved “Too Late” which was on the RBMA “Various Assets” CD and last year Warp released a compilation (2010 from Warp Records) with “Blen” on it. Both were probably the fruit of a remarkable cooperation between Mark Pritchard and Steve Spacek at the Red Bull Music Academy 2007 in Toronto….thus forming Africa HiTech. This contemporary mix of Dubstep and Soultronica has people going nuts and of course we’ve been pumping this for a minute. I can easily say this is one of the most anticipated releases coming out this year.

Their first official 12″ is a fact and will be dropping next week on Warp. It contains a “Blen”, plus a remix and a brand new track called “The Sound of Tomorrow”. It’s already available on vinyl at Rush Hour for the early birds with a craving for vinyl instead of worms. Expect their EP to drop soon as well, but in the meantime lets focus on the 12″ and let it take you there.

This upcoming weekend the Moovmnt crew (that’s us) will be throwing our monthly party both in Amsterdam and Rotterdam. Some of you might know that we are based in the two major cities this small country calls their capitols. Tomorrow we’ll be playing at the MiNiBAR in Amsterdam together with our buddy Sotu the Traveller. Since we’re still kinda recovering from the RBMA, we’ll be playing some music on the sneak tip. We got some exclusive joints at the academy and there’s a lot of great music on the “Various Assets” CD’s as well. While you’re ad it…download the FREE “Most Valuable Assets” mix HERE!

On Saturday we invite you to have a drink at De Unie in Rotterdam where none other than Bluntspeakers will be playing. No doubt he’ll be giving us some sneak previews of his upcoming releases and we’ll make sure you get your soultronic, boogielicious vibe on. Next month we have a special, ‘Timeless’ treat for ya’ll at De Unie! More info on that very soon.

Is it number five already? Damn how time seems to fly by. Gilles Peterson presents “Brownswood Bubblers Five” and again surprises us with a compilation full of nice music ranging from Soultronica to Hip Hop and from Jazz to Nu-Soul music. In case you’re not down with the whole Bubblers vibe – it goes a little something like this…

“Brownswood Bubblers provides a platform for unsung heroes and emerging talent from the Worldwide underground. The series distils the stream of exciting new artists that have become semi-permanent fixtures in Gilles’ playlists and DJ sets of late to create a suite of perfect bumps.”

Volume Five drops with March 8th and is full of great music, but what else did you expect? Some of this wonderful music has already been out for some time, while a few gems are highly exclusive and were unreleased up till now. Check out some profiles on their website. So far they’ve featured Ron Basejam, Electric Wire Hustle, Shuanise and Daru & Rena. Already this album is exclusively available through the Brownswood Recordings store, so act fast. You also get a FREE download when you purchase the CD HERE!
