Well, by now everyone should know about Robert Glasper’s phenomenal album that’s dropping at the end of next month.  Black Radio is going to be one of the best albums of 2012 and will definitely set the mark for what future albums should sound like. This is no surprise, the brother is affiliated with every musician of note and is more than noteworthy himself.
To be completely honest, my first exposure to Glasper was via his 2007 In My Element album, and ever since then I’ve been a fan. This mix can serve as a retrospective of sorts, containing tracks from Mood (2003) and Canvas(2005) as well as IME and Double Booked as well as fantastic live performances. Glasper is the perfect bridge for any soulhead who happens to also love Jazz and Hip Hop or however you want to arrange it. Glasper, being the hybrid he is, represents the new vanguard who will usher in the new sounds and styles or The Next Movement as it were.
Don’t just stand there, press play and get acquainted and cop the album when it drops!

BamaLoveSoul.com presents No Lunes 002 (Compilation)

One of the only ways to have escaped hearing of producer Tall Black Guy in 2011 is to be hidden under a massive pile of rocks! This talented producer has spent his time releasing countless original compositions and remixes that have caught the ear of numerous tastemakers including UK’s chief selector, Gilles Peterson. In September his remix of Fela Kuti’s Water No Get Enemyappeared on Peterson’s acclaimed Brownswood Bubblers compilation, which helped to truly spread his name to the far corners of the Earth.
To make sure the cave dwellers get up to speed, Tall Black Guy has decided to release some of his earlier works, remixes and lesser known tracks mixed by DJ Rahdu! Check out the mix HERE, peep more of his work HERE, and grab the download by clicking the tracklisting artwork

One thing I’ve never done is say that a certain day of the week gets me down or makes me feel a certain way. However, there are those that say Mondays generate a certain unpleasant feeling. No Mondays 001 is BamaLoveSoul’s effort to thwart Monday’s evil plan to ruin the first or second  day of the week with some soothing musical therapy. Listen HERE and if we get enough listens we’ll make it available for Download. Enjoy!
