A wonderful gem of a mixtape released by Dj Mane One. Smooth selection with a lot of soul, pretty well done. Artwork by Corrado Grilli

Pep Love “Hip Hop My Friend” from Northbound Films on Vimeo.
Great to see that Pep Love of the Hieroglyphics camp is doing his thing. Outstanding tune with a these days rare and powerful soul feel to it and a proper boom bap slap. Pep is someone i consider a friend, an earnest and humble guy with a very good vibe to him, no negativity whatsoever. Check out Pep love @ the Hieroglyphics website
I did a track with that man & Planet Asia that kinda blew up all over, which was well almost a decade ago :) hahaha, man time flies when you are having fun, and actually i did a couple of tracks more that i never played for him – one in particular was pretty strong with a flipped chick corea sample, a full instrumentation by a lot of renowned soul and jazz musicians. Just heard it the other day in my club on the new Soundsystem and it still has a serious punch and vibe to it. I’ll upload it tomorrow, think you all are gonna like that one and Pep in particular (i’ll send you the link)! Good to see you are alive and kicking my man! I enjoy the tune a lot and you stick to being a fine wine :)
This has to be my favourite track of their brandnew debut album “Breakfast”

The Internet is packed with this new Gorillaz tune, which was initiated by a corporation, which has become so popular in the past decade. Artist + Art needs corporate money …Not. Tune is awesome – and of course Andre steals the show. Its like the Gorillaz featuring JLAs Archenemy Gorilla Grod.

I’m not good at following up on my Twitter account so I kinda missed the mysterious leak of the new Ting Tings record and didn’t buy it till yesterday.
Damn!
I was a bit disappointed at first, but that’s only because I scan new records in a can-I-play-that-at-the-club-mode.
So after listening to the record for a few times I gotta admit the we-arrange-the-lp-like-a-playlist thing totally works for me and I really like the diversity of the LP.
Don’t worry though, even after a 4 year gap you can still tell it’s a Ting Tings original for every song (also you can tell that part of it has been recorded during their Berlin stay).
It appears the record company was so pleased with the first demos that they (The Ting Tings) deleted them completely and started recording completely new songs.
I guess it’s only fitting the cover has been made from fan art. Also it explains what took them 4 years to complete the new record. I kinda imagine the look of their record company’s dude at the phone when telling him like this.
Of course everybody has been waiting for Soul Killing but my secret favorite song would either be One by One (listen below) or the previously released Hands (which only is included with the Deluxe Edition, I think). The Deluxe Edition btw comes with a bunch of remixes plus additional songs. It contains 19 tracks compared to 10 which come with the standard edition.
