Most of you know what the deal with the Irish producer they call Krystal Klear. This time around he teams up with the slick Olivier DaySoul to release the heavily eighties influenced “Never Thought You Would Go” and the throwback Swingbeat joint “Wastin’ Time”. Look for a limited vinyl run to hit your local record shop on Monday or go ahead and pre-order this 10″ over at Rush Hour.

It will contain “Madness” featuring Vikter Duplaix (plus an instrumental version) and “Polyphonic Dreams” on the flipside. Also peep the video or pre-order at Rush Hour. DVA – Madness Ft.

Floating Shadows:Oh boy oh boy oh boy! Sam aka Floating Points is returning November 21st with his “Shadows” EP on Eglo Records. I’ve truly fallen in love with this one song “Myrtle Avenue” featuring miss Fatima. It just sounds so incredibly sexy! The video for “Sais” is also pretty tight, so I suggest you peep that as well.

Badu On Which Producer To Work With:This year’s Red Bull Music Academy is in full effect again. Participants such as Full Crate and Salva are probably having the time of their lives as we speak in Madrid. Yesterday miss Erykah Badu was a guest at the academy and gave a lecture. To give you guys a small preview, check out this teaser video and be on the look out for footage of MF Doom’s lecture as well. More video footage will be shared soon, don’t you worry.
Picture Perfect Funk…Freeze That!:Last weekend Deluge and me met Amalia and Opolopo for the first time at their debut gig in Amsterdam. We were baffled to hear that miss Amalia actually has this beautiful voice in real life as well and wasn’t singing off key at all. Not every artist can hold their own when it comes to live performances, but this lady sure can. During diner yesterday I discovered Opolopo likes to be picked up by men and Amalia loves food and taking pictures. Both were pretty satisfied after a good Indonesian meal and are now of to another part of the world. Peep the new “Freeze That!” video, which is crackalackin’..
Omar Lye-Fook Definitely Is The Man:Last month UK veteran soul singer, Omar, performed a brand new song entitled “The Man” live in Copenhagen on a hot summers day. The vocals were sung live as Kriswontwo was shooting this dope video while the instrumental was added later. I think everything came out quite “Special”! Kinda slept on this one since it came out over a month ago. So just for you guys, some of that British nu soul music on a lazy Sunday afternoon.
It’s been a while since we’ve heard from José James. Tomorrow he’s releasing a brand new song entitled “Trouble”which was recorded live at the AllSaints Basement Sessions in London.

In preparation for the launch of the forthcoming Eglo website, the guys took to the streets to record a little video for my favorite song from Fatima…“Mind”, taken from her “Follow You” EP produced entirely by Floating Points. It’s all luv innit!
