Def Sound X Nikko Gray – Lunar.Sun.Light.

Just peeled open this ambient treat from the email and have been steadily headnodding. Referred to as “trillwave”, Lunar.Sun.Light. is the latest offering from the

Headnodic – Red Line Radio

One of the producers behind one of my favorite HipHop groups, Crown City Rockers drops his latest release Red Line Radiotomorrow. When I say there’s a list of Cali All Stars on this album, believe I’m not exaggerating. Amongst the features include CCR’s Kat010 and Raashan Ahmad, People Under the Stairs, Latryx and many more! Personal fave has to be The Truthfeat Destani Wolf because you just don’t hear many treats like this anymore: great vocals over a nocturnal Hip Hop beat. Get more info and cop the album HERE

DJ Mitsu – Midnight Roses

DJ Mitsu’s Roses series is supremely dope, so I made sure I copped Midnight Roses (purchase)as soon as I was made aware of it. This

Average Thought – Frum De’ Fleur (Download)

We’ve worked with Average Thought several times before HERE and HERE and are excited about his newly released Free EP, Frum De’ Fleur. These 8 beat sketches that’s been described as an experimental beat album are a promo for his official LP coming next month. Get Frum De’ Fleur HERE!

Gretchen Parlato – The Lost and Found

At the urging of several people I finally checked out Gretchen Parlato’s second album for ObliqSound, The Lost and Found. I read somewhere of a comparison to

Little Dragon – SummerTearz

It seems like just yesterday we were hearing buzzes about a group named Little Dragon and here they are with their third album, Ritual Union. This one will appeal to all of those that enjoy the synthy, electronic side of Little Dragon. My favorite, however, is the more soulful of the 11 tracks, SummerTearz. The album will be released Jul 26, but you can listen to the full album HERE

Funky DL – BlackCurrent Jazz 2

If you’re one of those cats like me who LOVE the jazzy Hip Hop, Funky DL has created just the album for you! Seventeen tracks

Harlan – Native Son EP (Download)

Unfortunately, I’m behind on email submissions and it appears that this is a limited time free release, so get it now HERE. Nevertheless, Harlan has a really cool voice and sound that will draw you in and have you immediately nodding your head or dancing…think Jack Splash meets Robin Thicke, Prince or Pharrell. Cop his 5 track EP befre it’s no longer free and expect to hear some really great hings from this brother

Banda Black Rio – Super Nova Samba Funk

I mentioned on Twitter last week that I was really enjoying BBR’s latest release Super Nova Samba Funk, and don’t know why I’m just posting about it. Pioneers on the Brazilian scene in the 70s and 80s, they’ve been revived by the deceased band member Oberdan Magalhaes’ son William as a jazz funk outfit w/Brazilian leanings. The album sounds especially good this Sunday with a vibe that’s very conducive to enjoying the vibe of a lazy day. Although introduced into the modern attention via Mos Def’s usage of their Casa Forte for his Casa Bey, their Hip Hop assisted tracks leave much to be desired, otherwise it’s a great listen and includes appearances by Seu Jorge and Gilberto Gil amongst
