As you might remember we tipped you about the dynamic duo that goes by the name of S3 a while ago. And since mister Miles Bonny and Brenk Sinatra are about to release their “Supa Soul Sh*t” album onMelting Pot Music in a few days, we thought it might be a good idea to let ya’ll know what’s about to happen. If you want a full review too bad…we’re just going to tell you that this is that new music you want to purchase. Pre-orders available at the MPM store in case you were wondering where to cop and make sure you check out the promotional video after the drop by the homey Robert Winter.

Almost uncanny how Grooveman Spot starts off on his new “Paradox” album, out on Japanese Jazzy Sport, because I always love me some good ol’ downtempo smoothness to start things off. Like he read my mind. After having heard “Groove Me” I was already sold, but as my ears wandered off they heard so much depth and warmth on this album. I can only begin to describe it as a personal journey from Beats to House music all the while flirting with some Funk. Japan is home of a few next level producers of which Grooveman Spot is definitely one! Listen to a preview below and get your copy at Paradox - Grooveman Spot right now.

Robert Glasper‘s “Black Radio” album is already one of this year’s favourite picks, but what do we actually think about the “Black Radio Recovered: The Remix EP”? We were impressed by big names such as Pete Rock and Solange at first, but perhaps it was merely our high expectations that got the best of us. A so so remix from Georgia Anne Muldrow and a Questlove remix that was okay-ish. Could this really be it? Surely the level of niceness is nowhere near that of the album or are we missing something here?

Since we haven’t posted any new music lately, we thought we did owe you guys something. Not what we hoped for, but enjoy Mr Glasper thanking his fans and “Dillalude #2”. If you want this, go get it at Black Radio Recovered - The Remix EP - Robert Glasper.

Some of you might have been visiting the site this past week thinking ‘when are these guys going to post some new freakin’ music’. In all honesty we’ve been slowing down the pace considerably. A lot of new music sounds dull to us at the moment and seeing Moovmnt is a reflection of our personal music taste, we sometimes choose to remain silent rather than lower the bar. I just heard something brand brand new that caught my attention. State of Zoe is a band from Tallin Estonia that manages to fuse Jazz, Pop and Soul in such an organic way…I love it! Singer Anneliis Kits has a voice my ears can really appreciate. It’s our pleasure to introduce you all to State of Zoe. Oh and for just 2 euro’s I think you all should get their “Mind” (Part I) EP by the way.

Haven’t been listening to a whole lot of music lately, but when I listened to this Toi Horn song on miss Kronika’s Soundcloud, I was feeling it. Never heard about this DC-native producer/vocalist/songwriter before, but it turns out she released “Let It Happen” back in 2008. I thought I’d squeeze this in as a Slept on Sundays song…so kick back and enjoy!

Last month I was checking out some new snippets from Andres‘ brand new “Second Time Around” EP on his La Vida label. Must have dozed off, because the 12″ is already out and available at Clone Records for a tenner. You might have heard another version of “Hart Plaza” before, but this new version has some additional synth work from Amp Dog Knight.

We’ve all been waiting anxiously for Jose James‘ upcoming “No Beginning, No End” album due on Blue Note next year. The wait is far from over, but in the meanwhile Mr. James dropped the “It’s All Over Your Body” EP containing a dope remix from DJ Spinna as and perhaps an even doper remix by Oddisee’s that isn’t on the EP. We urge you to cop this on It's All Over Your Body EP - José James, because Robert Glasper, Chris Dave and Pino Palladino make for a must buy!

Now I’m sure a bunch of you know about Floetry and how the duo split up. Marsha Ambrosius was seen often, but some might have been wondering whatever happened to Natalie ‘The Floacist’ Stewart. She bided her time till the right moment was there to open up her “Soul” again. Really looking forward to her second solo album, so let’s pray that’s it’ll be out soon. [Spotted over at BLS]

Finally Frisco funkers B. Bravo & Teeko release their long awaited “The Starship Connection” EP on Frite Nite. So much juice on this release that it’s sure to blow out some fuzes. You already heard some of these joints, but “Just Like Magic” featuring miss Amalia is not to be slept on. Peep the entire EP and make sure you support da Funk by heading over to The Starship Connection - EP - B. Bravo & Teeko and copping that sh*t!

Okay let me be frank. I had never heard of The Tony Rich Project before and was told this was some classic nineties ish by a certain little munchkin. Turns out old Tony wrote hits for Boyz II Men, TLC & Toni Braxton (which I never knew). I did however manage to get some new snippets of the upcoming “Speak Me” album which is due to release on Hidden Beach soon. I was kinda in the mood for some sultry R&B, so enjoy these previews with me.
