When our colleagues at Laidback Radio asked us to do the ‘Pick of the Week’, we were like lets do this! Now our very first pick is one that we are truly very excited about. We’ve been friends with Jay Hats for a while and admire his musical genius. Just like LaMelodia, Jay is also from Eindhoven. And next to being a producer, he’s also a sound engineer.

Jay Hats’ music is best described as a crossing between tropical world music (loaded with frantic percussion) and contemporary club music. Jay’s music sounds like an honest breath of fresh air on a warm summer night and we dare you to take a dive into this tropical, future vintage. Let Jay take you on a trip around the world with a wide variety of arrangements cleverly blended into one album.

Together with Jay we’ve been working on getting his debut album the release it deserves and we are happy to inform you that it will be out this summer. Stay tuned on more music from the tall man…soon! Keep smiling bro..oh and follow Jay on Twitter or Facebook!

Jay Hats – Playing Her Feat. Rones (Laidback Intro)

If you’re old like me you might just remember the movie Spaceballs with the late John Candy. Anyhow…the track that stands out on Joob‘s “Nebula” EP is “Sagatriaus B”, which begins with a short sample from that movie. With other tracks like “Galactic Geek” you can really feel that spacey vibe he tried to give out with this EP. Shit is pretty much out there so I suggest you give it a listen…it’s FREE! Download it HERE and props to Olof for the heads up.

Joob – Sagittarius B

I just wanted to share this Dam-Funk pickup with you, because this is one of the few records I’ve actually bought in the last year. The packaging of the “Toeachizown” box set crazy nice and I urge you all to pick this one HERE at the Stones Throw webshop. It’s well worth the money if you ask me. Shout out to Damon & Jamie for this one!

Emmanuel is Colin Emmanuel AKA C Swing, a musical genius and producer of hit singles and albums for the likes of Jamelia, Beverly Knight, Terri Walker, and Estelle. The album “D’Illusions Of Grandeur” was released 3 years ago, but Emmanual put it up for a free download for 24-hours. This is just as a reminder before he starts to do the Black Einstein material. Now if you’re quick you can still get the full download, if not you can just check the 2 tracks below.

Emmanuel – Get Away Feat Celetia Martin

The long awaited Eric Lau “Kilawatt: V2” is finally out!! After his debut album “New Territories” came out we were amazed by it’s sheer dopeness. Now we hadn’t heard Muhsinah sing like this in quite a while and always a pleasure to see genius artists like Kaidi Tatham and Oddisee on a release like this. If you don’t believe in buying music please hold up for a second, because if you look at the value for money on this baby it’s not to be fucked with. For only a measly few dollars you’ll have that stupendously, insane shit pumpin’ through your speakers. Visit for that digital crack or check for that CD via Rush Hour.

The single includes this amazing Flying Lotus remix. You can check out the preview below. The full version will be available on April 5th.

Andreya’s soulful vocals are already well known and loved from appearances on tracks such as ‘Tea Leaf Dancers‘ by Flying Lotus, ‘Hold On‘ by Mr Scruff, ‘Chemistry‘ by Theo Parrish and ‘The Keeper‘ by Bonobo. . Thanks to StrangeFruitMusic for the hookup.

My man Front2Blaq just sent me this video (check it after the jump) of B.Lewis and I had to share this with ya’ll. This young Californian is currently studying sound audio and I truly love the way “Day Two” sounds. To my surprise there’s a lot more where this came from. Mr. Lewis dropped his “Talking Chairs” beat tape HERE for FREE and if you take the time to visit his Bandcamp, you’ll find lots more audible goodies there! Most intriguing I find this triology where feelings come gliding across that synthesizer as if it was nothing…I’m really feeling this a lot! Shouts to Jay Scarlett for posting this on his blog a couple of days ago.

Another crazy remix from London’s mad scientist Floating Points has hit the web. This time it’s Bonobo‘s “Eyesdown” featuring Andreya Triana that gets reworked. This is kinda wicked..innit? Big up to Osmanologie for keeping it fresh.

My man Mark de Clive-Lowe just hit me up with this IG Culture exclusive for y’all to enjoy! Fresh off IG’s desk comes this wicked remix of Slum Village’s “Get Dis Money”. Now I’m a big big SV head and Fantastic Vol. 2 is really sacred to me but IG did the damn thing. And while we’re at it, make sure you check out IG’s “Holly Roller” radio show over on Spine Magazine with lots of nice tunes. Thanks to Mashi for this one!

It is my pleasure to introduce you all to Pixelord aka Alexey Devyanin. He’s a Moscow-based veteran of experimental music, best-known for his Gultskra Artikler moniker. His debut four-track EP “Lucid Freaks” brings forth a mixture of spliffed-out 8bit riddims, stumbling Hip Hop beats and a pinch of Euro Dance glam. However unique, the weirdo plastic Pop of Glasgow’s Hudson Mowake is echoed in his tunes as well as bass-driven digital Reggae, Jahtari-style. The artwork of L.A. painter Michael Dotson makes the package complete.

This EP is available online in the form of a FREE DOWNLOAD at Error Broadcast. Also peep the remix EP (which drops later today) with remixes by Jameszoo, Coco Bryce and more. Om-Unit, eLan and Vlooper where suppost to be on the remix project too, but I guess it didn’t work out in the end.

Pixelord – Cartoon Friend
