A major label nightmare: Suff Daddy reworks two Detroit rap classic from Phat Kat & Dilla. His “Nightmare” remix was the winner of the Look records remix contest (but never saw the planned official release). “Game Over” – the Phat Kat / Dilla gem produced by Dabrye – is getting a mutant jazz re-rub. Limited promo only pressing…500 copies on Good Boy. Berlin producer Suff Daddy is best known for his releases with Odissee, Kissey Asplund and Miles Bonny on MPM.

J. Rawls and John Robinson (together known as “Jay Are”)  offer up their collaborative LP entitled “It’s Jay Are”. The LP is called “The 1960’s Jazz Revolution Again“. Pretty infectious if you ask me, I’m digging it. I’ve gotta say, it’s quite difficult to get your hands on this one since it’s a Japan only release..

100k downloads. That’s the amount of times Pet Sounds in the Key of D was scooped. A Beach Boys project as Jay Dee would have seen in completed, crafted by the deft hands and mind of Bullion. That may have signaled what was to become his mete-ore-ric rise.
He added to his catalog in 2008 year with a highly anticipated and well received 12″ Get Familiar/Rude Effort, which is still available on iTunes. He’s now got the Young Heartache EP done. 92 BPM

Bullion – Young Heartache

2009 finds Hyperdub marking their fifth anniversary, and the first of many astonishing outings lined up to celebrate the half-decade is delivered by prodigious Bristolian synth wizard Joker, dropping his debut release on the label, backed by the talk-box sleeze of Danish producers 2000F & J Kamata. Yet another in Hyperdub’s series of tunes putting the fun firmly back into synthesizers. Already well known for bombs like ‘Gullybrook Lane’, ‘Hollybrook Park’ and his recent epic ‘Play Doe’ with Rustie, Joker’s ‘Digidesign’ staggers in with a laid back groove and twisted bass synth, but it’s all about the infectious melody in the middle. On the flip, 2000f & J Kamata’s anticipated ‘You Don’t Know What Love Is’ opens up a 1985 vintage can of robofunk R&B earworms that will eat your audio nerves alive! Get it now at Rushhour..

Nothing but love for my man Full Crate and Mar! They recently dropped their second portion of sexyness and it’s called Aftersexin’. Since She Was Fly was such a huge succes, we couldn’t leave you without this one. As soon as you’ve had sex to this track be sure to leave a comment and tell us all about it.

Jamie Finlay‘s Step Forward was released on Brownswood Bubblers Three by Gilles Peterson so you might have heard from this singer/songwriter/producer/DJ from Manchester. Yesterday Jamie’s latest single was released on Wah Wah 45’s. To be really honest…I’m not a huge fan of the newest track called Don’t Sleep, but I’m sure his upcoming album will be huge. I do however love Jamie’s Show On and I am Love featuring Deborah Jordan. Allthough these tracks are both pretty old I wanted to share them with you to give you a good impression of Jamie. Be on the look-out for his upcoming album “Pocket Science”.

Nicholas Ryan Gant sang as backup vocalist for Bilal Salaam (and vice versa) and was a student in the same HU music department that brought us Muhsinah. Big things are bound to happen for both these DC artists. Check out Nicholas’ Myspace for more music. He did a song with Jesse Boykins III and also a very vocal song with Muhsinah.

The first joint Before The Fall was written by Bilal Salaam and has Nicholas Ryan Gant on the lead and Bilal on the background vocals. Slimkat78 produced it by the way. The second song Mystery was produced by Mabanua. Last, but not least it’s Muhsinah on the production of My Melody and Bilal Salaam on the background vocals again. Enjoy and spread the love!

Finally after his 2004 Soundtrack For Sunrise release, Gabriel Reyes-Whittaker (aka GB) returns with a free EP. Now it might not come close to his last album (not counting that strictly therapeutical Healing Tones crap from last year) but hey it’s free right? It features GB’s interpretations of (in his eyes) dope artists like Little Dragon, Flying Lotus, Muhsinah, Exile, A Race of Angels and yes…The Beach Boys. It’s a nice one to keep us hungry, but we need more of that 2004 flava! I just had to add After All featuring Joy Jones from Soundtrack For Sunrise, because it’s such a great and versatile album. Oh I almost forgot…click HERE for the free EP!
