DJ Rahdu – Some Jazz 25
I’m preparing for my Jazz gig this Thursday and felt compelled to record some of my practice for the first Some Jazz since May. I’m surprised I’m 25 eps in but, this is just a testament to how much great Jazz music is out there. A lotta usual suspects on this one, some newfound treats.. →

Fresh off the news that his track wouldn’t appear on the new Gallant album due to sample clearance issues, Mecca:83 drops a quick gem to show us he’s undaunted. Here’s what inspiration from one of the dopest soul sistas on the scene right now sounds like. Enjoy and grab this one.. →
Waajeed – Detroit Love Vol. 3
Waajeed is a staunch Detroit representer, and as a co-founder of Slum Village, no one can test his mettle as a true flag bearer for The D. I’ve been a huge fan of Waajeed, and have been supporting this brother from the Bling47 days all the way up to Dirt Tech Reck. I’ve always trusted.. →
Marquis Hill – A New Life
I’ve been a fan of trumpeter/composer, Marquis Hill since I scooped up Modern Flows II almost a year ago. Little did I know I was 6 albums behind at the time. He released his 8th album, Love Tape, last month and I’ve finally gotten around to digesting it and it’s a largely fulfilling.. →

Roy Ayers – We Live In Brooklyn Baby (Opolopo Tweak)
At around 95BPM, Roy Ayers’ We Live in Brooklyn has always been a tune that is guaranteed to get you a headnod when it plays. Swedish producer Opolopo completely changes that with his “tweak” which is available now on GAMM Records. Ramping it up to a dancefloor friendly 120BPM, Opolopo.. →
