Mayer Hawthorne grew up just outside of Detroit, and vividly remembers, as a child, driving with his father and tuning the car radio in to the rich soul and jazz history the region provided. “Most of the best music ever made came out of Detroit,” claims the singer, producer, and multiinstrumentalist, who counts Isaac Hayes, Leroy Hutson, Mike Terry, legendary songwriting and production trio of Dozier, Holland, and Holland Jr. The “retro” tag is added to almost any contemporary work that sounds like it was originally recorded between 1966 and 1974, and Hawthorne, among the newest contributors to the genre, is aware of how trends come and go. After being introduced to Stones Throw label head Peanut Butter Wolf, even the label boss was skeptical. “He showed me two songs and I didn’t understand what I was listening to,” Wolf recalls. “I asked him if they were old songs that he did re-edits of – I couldn’t believe they were new songs and that he played all the instruments. stonesthrow

It’s been hectic here and we didn’t want to hit you guys with some corny ass Michael Jackson post. So we waited to bring you this beautiful Lady Alma & Mark de Clive-Lowe rework of “I Can’t Help It”. Lovely and suiting tribute to the king of pop. The entire MOOVMNT crew was a big Michael Jackson fan, so needles to say we too feel sad he passed away recently. You might remember we posted a snippet of this a while ago, but the final version is our way of paying homage to the world’s greatest…R.I.P.

We just got word that both DJ Spinna‘s “Sonic Smash” album and Fresh Daily‘s “Fresh Daily is the Gorgeous Killer in Crimes of Passion” album, have been pushed back. Get Spinna’s album July 21st and Daily’s album August 13th. To make up for this, we are leaking this Fresh Daily joint produced by DJ Spinna entitled “Gotta Go” that isn’t on either of their albums. As if this wasn’t enough we decided to share this killer track from Spinna’s upcoming album. “Still Golden” features Tiye Phoenix and is one of the hottest tracks on Sonic Smash in my opinion. Massive thanks to Jonathan and High Water Music…

Hawthorne Headhunters are Stoney Rock (perhaps better known as Black Spade), Ced No and Proh Mic . I can’t remember when I first heard from the HHH, all I know is that we posted their single “She Wanna” a long time ago..so if you slept on that..here is a free download. The second track “Get Up” won’t be on the EP, and will probably be featured on the Kenny Fresh HHH tape. Their upcoming EP will be released on HVW8 on July 27th.
