Kissable

Daru Jones the drummer/producer, who drummed for live acts such as Slum Village, Black Milk and Hi-Tek & Talib Kweli, has produced an EP featuring Swedish-Carribean singer Kissey Asplund. You might not know her, but if you like electro-soul, neo-soul-jazz, deep house hip-hop and/or abstract broken beat, you probably digg her. Think J*Davey/Stacy Epps/Tiombe Lockheart over a heavy live drum or drumsample. Something like that..



Tracklist:
*Rat Race Up & Down
*Sweetest Day
*Please
*No Matter What They Say
*So Good part 2 (Go-Go Mix)
*Lift Me High (Outtake Instrumental)
*And It Looks Like (Outtake Instumental)

Muvi: I Said

Full Crate & Mar - I Said

Frisco

I'm remembering my dad loved to sing this song on karaoke, when I was still living at my parental home. Now one of my favorite artists is doing his version.

Mayer Hawthorne ends his US Tour on April 15th in San Francisco and to commemorate that occasion, Stones Throw has teamed up with local clothing brand Huf and designer Freegums on an exclusive Mayer Hawthorne collabo pack featuring a t-shirt and a heart-shaped USB with the song "I Left My Heart In San Francisco" on it. Soon available at Frisco Store Arnhem. Full circle..

I reminisce, I reminisce

Of the concerts I had to make a photo report of for Urbanstart, this one was the toughest. When hip-hop icons like Pete Rock & CL Smooth perform on stage, it's hard not to get into the vibe and keep doing your job. Especially when Dave Redi, good friend and MC of Front Porch Poets is standing next to you celebrating his birthday. And on your otherside someone who is on the same level as you are. Good times!

Muvi: I Need A Dollar

Aloe Blacc - I Need A Dollar

Inspiration

Don't know which video I like more. Erykah Badu's Window Seat or this one. Both songs sound great. So it comes down to the ending of Lessons Learned and the message in Window Seat..

Ted Woo? Ted Chung!

The only thing I know about Ted Chung is that he's a director and screenwriter based in Los Angeles, CA. And that I love his work. The way he "plays" with the subject love is beautiful.

The first film for instance, A Thousand Words, is one of my favourite short films. Black and white, that crooked piano, non verbally. It's almost like watching an old silent movie. Really makes you think. And feel.


Every day: so many opportunities to connect... What if you took just one?


A reclusive roommate realizes there's more to life than he imagined.


A travelling salesman selling the future in his suitcase.

Hard as stone

Another serie of photo's I made for Urbanstart. Angie Stone live at the Melkweg, Amsterdam. Taken on March 16.

This DJ Jazzy Jeff album is the product of numerous sessions with female vocalist Ayah. The first five tracks on this album are complete songs, the other seven are snippets. Download DJ Jazzy Jeff & Ayah's This Way Album Sampler here on Soulbounce. It's a sampler so I'm expecting an entire album of this nice collaboration soon.

Beat bakers

In my opinion one of the best Dutch producers. Full Crate, FS Green and Grand Jackson. Put them together and you have a crew called HomeMade. Download the HomeMade EP they did for Bacardi Visita at Trees For Breakfast. Love that easy listening modern soul music..

Sit back & relax

I'm not a great fan of YouTube. Only pro is the huge amount of vids. Take this one. Erykah Badu performing the lead single of her upcoming album. Can't deny YouTube. Dammit..
