Finally here is Chris Turner‘s first official release “Monk Tape”. If you check out MOOVMNT often enough you should already know Chris Turner from his first release “Liquid Love”, which is still available on . The real Jazz heads might also know he is the lead singer in Jamire Williams supergroup ERIMAJ, and Chris is also part of a soulquarian-esque collective called The Romantic Movement, along with Jesse Boykins III, Melo-X, Mara Hruby and others. Now please spend a few $$ so Chris can use the proceeds to mix and master his upcoming album LOVEchild..

You might remember how we started this year off with “From Another World” from Boddhi Satva featuring Vikter Duplaix. Boddhi hails from Central African Republic and is known best for his Ancestral Soul sound. To give you an idea of what Ancestral Soul is, read the following.

When deep house music has modern Congolese rumba as wife, West African voices as mistresses and urban R&B and Afro-Cuban rhythms as occasional girlfriends, that’s Ancestral Soul.

His debut album, “Invocation”, was released last year in Africa and will be seeing a re-release later this month via BBE Records. His latest sensual song, “How Sex Changes Things”, featuring Leslie Kisumuna gets you in the mood for some good ol’ love making.

Here we have a taste of Kan Sano‘s upcoming “Bha” EP, which will be released April 4th on Spirit Notes. Probably a digital only release, so keep that in mind. Love the intricate play on Japan’s top notch pianists’ new song “Vayu”, but I guess there’s not a lot to hate about this one.

Toronto’s baddest soul sensation, Slakah The Beatchild, just blessed the world wide web with a brand new leak of his upcoming “Soul Movement” Vol. 2 album. Incredible news seeing the first volume has been on heavy rotation for years now. Still too many cats be sleepin’ on Slakah…wake up!! If you hurry, you can still grab a free download seeing there are 100 free ones being given away on his Soundcloud page.

Elaquent is taking the road less travelled with his upcoming “The Scenic Route” album. Fourteen instrumental tracks for you listening pleasure is the result. We decided to give you guys a little sneak peak in the form of “Carpe Diem”. Lots more interesting sounds on this one, so keep an ear out! Coincidentally this is being released on my birthday (March 28th). All you need now is my address so you can all send me a nice present 😉

So we’re getting closer and closer to the release of Scratcha DVA‘s “Pretty Ugly” album which will be available April 19th on Hyperdub. Together with vocalist Natalie Maddix he made this video, shot during a power cut in London. Very curious about this project!

Multi-talented singer/songerwriter/actress Sy Smith is back with her fourth album called “Fast And Curious” released on her own label Psyko Records. The album was entirely produced and co-written by Mark de Clive-Lowe. This right here is a nice fusion of soulful house, broken beat and downtempo electronic soul. Fellow soul singer, Rahsaan Patterson, joins Sy on her interpretation of Billy Ocean’s boogie banger “Nights” (Feel Like Getting Down), but one of our favorites is “Teena”. One of those albums you have to give a listen and buy on Bandcamp if you decide it’s worth it.

Nifty little bonus track of M-Phazes‘ “Phazed Out” album that dropped last month. Just love the crazy strings on “Holdin’ It Down” which features Emilio Rojas and Rich Rivera. And remember kiddies…supporting honest music is a must. So head over to for the necessary cop.
