our Dropbox is awesome!

We get sent so much music every single day, and we hardly have time to go through it, just by the sheer amount of it. I took some time out to check the latest stuff we got sent and honestly a huge percentage is simply not up my alley, but there is some great music along the mails. And here let me share some it with you. ps to all the artists and promoters, thx for sharing this material with our readers.

1. Lets start with the Soundcloud material

Benjamin Francis Leftwich:

J-Nolan delivers this nice hip hop tune

II) Good old buddy Dj Vadim contacted me just recently, he found out who was behind these YUM YUM parties, lol and he was also attending one in Cologne, when i was there, but on a more (or less) serious note: The mans been busy as always and came up with a new album that he sent me through. The Project is called “The Electric” and we are gonna have a full on feature this week. Here is a tune i selected as a ashort preview:

3. Mixtapes we get sent

We get far too many mixtapes and i noticed this one cause it had a direct relation to us, since two of my tracks are featured on it. Too bad the soundcloud link wasnt shareable, i had to download it, then reupp it plus convert it to make it a bit smaller. too much handling fella, but anyways its a nice mix of tunes that i like and here is what Dj Create wrote: “Hey, I’ve been loving your blog for a while now, and there’s a few tracks on this mix that I originally found through you guys, so have a listen, let me know what you think!”

4. Videos people send us

Some really entertaining material here – enjoy. start it off with a nice hip hop tune, thats way better than the video, but amateurism is the new professionalism, if i dare measure that by the black eyed peas Superbowl gig, lol. this guys reallly on point with this neat tune. ps dude send the mp3 through…

Nostalgia 77’s “Simmerdown” is simply awesome:

Sratchandsniff Reworks & Edits

Pretty nice Soundcloud account by Scratchandsniff from Glasgow I stumbled across via a facbook post by my pal Markus. Loads of soulful Edits and most of them available for download. Here you have my favourites so far

Mick Jagger – Sweet Thing (scratchandsniff’s extended re-rub) by scratchandsniff

Minnie Riperton – Adventures In Paradise (scratchandsniff’s extended re-rub) by scratchandsniff

Gearing up for SXSW 2011

It’s that time a year when new bands are ready to be discovered and the ‘indie’ ones try to keep their ‘indie’ street cred. Yes, it’s the South by Southwest Music and Film Fest in Austin, Texas. (SXSW)

I may not be going this year,  but I still went to see what’s on the slate for the fest. Since there are over 1900 bands this year, I thought it would be fitting to find a cool new Alt Country act performing at SXSW that might interest ya’ll (Texas slang for “you all”) :)

Horse On A Bus – Small Ponds

Soulforce feat. Ken Boothe & Skarra Mucci – Duppy

When I Fall In Love

As you know we just featured Skarra Mucci with his outstanding single My Sound (After Laughter Riddim). Luckily for us our buddy SOULFORCE noticed and hit my inbox with another Skarra Mucci gem. Just the right stuff for the next mixtape within the Reggae Tunes series I’m currently working on since the last one really wasn’t down Reggae street. Anyway – enjoy this one and show this guy some love.
