Marvellous cover version of Lykke Li – I Follow Rivers by belgian band Triggerfinger.
I’ve been waiting on this to be released for quite a long time. Some weeks ago Innervisions, formerly known as one of the most innovating record labels for electronic music, put this tune out. There’s still a 12″ of it over here. Get it before it’s sold out and enjoy the video.
Hailing from L.A., Wes James is a young Disco/Electronic/EDM/ Four to the Floor Producer and is set to get plays on a global scale. Chromemusics own Row took over the managing duties of this young fella who brings a generic sounding a fresh twist on the American production scene, since this is one of the few guys from overseas that could easily be played in any COOL spot in Europe. Which is really rare when it comes to American producers, since that whole American EDM scene doesn’t really happen anywhere in the proper clubs in urban Europe. But here comes this dude and puts it all on its head. Even though his track “Cool”, which is indeed a cool track, is the go to tune right now, since it popped up on the hypemachine and a few other websites, i prefer his song “Dance with me” which is like a homage to times lost on the dance floors, revisiting the good times on the floors before the hooligans became mainstream. It has a soulful, discoid vibe and a fresh new production twist, to make it appealing to a all generations. Grown up music, accessible to everyone who has a preference for a juicy, soulful and summery vive on the floor. Really dig it, and i wish i had posted it earlier, but caught up in my own dj duties. So give him a hug on the diverse media platforms and keep an eye on young Wes, for i guess, there is much more to come from this fella.

Good good friend of mine and always a rock in this ever changing experience of life, Fetsum, released his solo effort entitled “Colours of Hope”. For years in the making and it has always been sparkling on the horizon, Fetsum finally did it. This really adds happiness on top of my happiness, to see a good man go his way. The Album has rave reviews by the Rolling Stone Magazine, NME and whole lot of french and Uk Mags, saying stuff like “best soul album of the year so far”. The songs are a heartwarming experience from a man whose music is all about love and not a single line that is meant to cause harm is spent on the entire album. To put it in other words, that a few will understand, this is a healing album shared with everyone. At times peculiar but very accessible bc of its general “feel good and enjoy life” vibe. Uplifting and empowering music if you let it. Watch the beautiful and human video below.
Below you will Fetsums tourdates for Germany, its him and his band so go check them out. As soon as his tour is over we will have him over with a trimmed down live show at a few YUM YUM Nights, and definitely before the end of the year. This man has our vibe.

Jez Dior hit us up about a week ago, and i guess a few other blogs as well, since then he has made it to the no#1 spot on the hypemachine, which seems to be winning in relevance again. Anyways this is what he dropped on our facebook wall: “I think you guys will love this.. “. He was right, and our feet cant stop anymore. Download away :)
