In their own words, “Impossible Ark Records is a British record label. Focusing on the work of creative musicians, it has released Jazz, Latin and more experimental projects over the past three years.”
Now you can welcome yourself into the world of Impossible Ark via their upcoming … [read more]
Breakestra – Dusk Till Dawn
Back with their first album since 2005′s Hit The Floor, LA funk band Breakestra bring us Dusk Till Dawn, via Strut Records. This new record represents two years of hard graft back in the lab for Miles Tackett and the Breakestra team, and is actually a tribute to Miles’ late Root Down DJ partner, DJ Dusk, who tragically lost his life in a road accident a few years ago. Rather fittingly, Dusk appears alongside Chali 2na on the track ‘Posed To Be, … [read more]
VIDEO: Dorian Concept – Trilingual Dance Sexperience
This is Trilingual Dance Sexperience, Austrian maestro Dorian Concept‘s second release on Affine Records. It’s a crazy electronic affair, held together by a feverish energy, and it’s also bizarrely addictive. Dorian Concept has been revered for his unique electronic creations for the past few years and it’ll be no surprise for you to learn that this 12-inch (backed with the track Tropical Hands) is already getting a lot of press and play from such influential luminaries as; Mark Pritchard, Kode9, Martyn, Gilles … [read more]
Friday Finds: Foreign Beggars / Brother Ali / Constrobuz
The end of another week! So, what do I have for you within this inaugural edition of Friday Finds? Well, check this exclusive studio footage from Foreign Beggars, arguably the best UK hip-hop group around today. What you’re seeing is a sneak peak, via their Dented Records Studios in London, from their upcoming album, United Colours of Beggattron – due out in October. By the sounds of things it should be a pretty heavy record indeed, and I wouldn’t expect anything less from Foreign … [read more]
Mayer Hawthorne – A Strange Arrangement
It’s been one of the most anticipated albums of the year. Back since that charming little heart-shaped piece of red vinyl entered our lives towards the end of 2008. I am of course referring to Mayer Hawthorne and his debut album A Strange Arrangement – out now through Stones Throw in the US (via iTunes and the Stones Throw site), and out in Europe imminently. It’s worth noting that if you do purchase the vinyl or CD from the Stones Throw website, then you’ll … [read more]
VIDEO: Bonobo – The Keeper
Check out the above video for the new Bonobo track The Keeper, featuring brand new Ninja Tune signing Andreya Triana.
It’s been a while since we’ve got some proper new material from Bonobo and I reckon it’s been worth the wait because this track is stunning, a real warm nu-jazz /lo-fi tune with sultry vocals from the ever-talented Andreya Triana. The video, as you will see, is a classy affair with low lighting and some clever camera tricks – fancy stuff indeed! So, … [read more]
Speech Debelle – Speech Therapy
The debut LP from recent Big Dada signing Speech Debelle is out now! Speech Therapy is an intimate look into the world of one Speech Debelle and through her hushed and rhythmic hip-hip tones this 51-minute creation will hit you from the freshest of angles in a boldly blunt manner. In my February interview with Speech Debelle it was instantly apparent what this young diamond from London stood for and where her musical journey had brought her so far, but now here’s a chance to … [read more]

A real mean selection, it includes tracks from the likes of; Starkey, Martyn, Breakage and Commix – it spans just shy of 58 minutes and Micro Matic‘s selection will no doubt knock your dubby little socks off.
Podcast Tracklisting:01. Sugoisounds – LoveCycle [STMB 64]
02. TRG – Broken … [read more]Kinny – Idle Forest Of Chit Chat
It’s been a long time coming, but here it is, an absolute stormer of a nu-jazz LP from Tru Thoughts artist Kinny. Her work may be familiar to you from the Kinny & Horne LP, Forgetting To Remember, that came out on Tru Thoughts back in 2005, but now Kinny is here with her full solo debut LP Idle Forest Of Chit Chat.
This eleven track LP features production by; Souldrop, TM Juke, Unforscene, Hint, Diesler, The Quantic Soul Orchestra and Nostalgia 77 … [read more]
