Modeselektor – Monkeytown (album)

The new Modeselektor LP attracked my attention for two reasons. One, because if you’re living in Berlin there’s no chance not to get in touch with those guys. Everybody’s darling: Modeselektor. Two, because the tracklisting including collaborations e.g. with Thom Yorke and Miss Platnum sounded super exciting to me.  This album took me some time as it’s not only something you listen to while hoovering your cellar, but still only one thing is safe to say: Innovations in music, that’s what Modeselektor stand for.

Download full album: “Jay-Z @ Studio One” mashed up by Soulforce

This albums a free download by the Soulforce crew that dates back to 2007 and it is exactly what the title implies – Jay-zs vocals meet Studio One, but these guys just recently put it online and someone (possibly them?) sent me a message to post it. So, i know a few of our guys like them a good reggae set and some jay-z, no matter how over-remixed (is that a word?) that album is/was. A couple of good versions on here some well known, a bit dated but ÜBERclassic reggae riddims. Here is my favourite one, but i wished the remixes were a bit more vivid and had more breaks or the producer had put more effort on arranging them instead of pure blending. This album was just remixed too often for my ears. Other than that the albums good to go. Anways, forget my opinion: here you go, grab the full download over here.

SoulForce – Dirt Off Your Shoulder

introducing Selah Sue

I have been constantly reminded by Coco, by Danny, by Max and of course by our Top Tunes Group on Facebook to write about this young lady and musical gem and i kept on postponing it, but here you go >>> Selah Sue is an outstanding new artist that has delivered a great selfentitled debut album in the vein of a folky, soulful and simply friendly attitude embedded in a great summery vibe. They are comparing her from Duffy to Lauryn Hill to Amy Winehouse to Adele to any other good female artist within the last decade or so. Let her music speak for itself and check her album out, if you havent already.

Selah Sue – Peace of mind

The many remixes are worth a second look.  Some of the songs on the album are a bit too poppish for me, meaning without a lasting impact, but the many good ones are quite the opposite – i think thats why i even mentioned the not-so-good ones, cause its surprising that she has any! But in general the overall vibe, her voice and especially the lovely mellow tunes go very deep and i enjoy her sound very much. hope you do too.
