Andras Fox - Embassy Cafe

Andras' last EP was recommended to us by the always on point Sleazy Beats blog and we've been following the Australian since then. We're blown away by the teaser of the upcoming LP and can't wait to lay our hands on the wax. Few bullet points on Embassy Cafe
  • recorded mostly in one take, all the distortions and raw-ness are the result of very little overdubbing
  • the 6-tracker's full of smooth jams sounding like they're recorded in the transition era between boogie to 90's house 
  • it's out 23.05 on Dopeness Galore Records 
  • sounds perfect for poolside parties and other open-air affairs 
Here's The promomix:

Atlantics Vol. 3


Astro Nautico describe themselvs as Brooklyn's "serious record label". Their annual compilation Atlantics, dropped on 4/20 for the third time (4/20 or 4th of April refers to the consumption of cannabis  day - a cannabis day). 32 tracks of very diverse music, captivating pretty much throughout, ranging from lounge house music like C.Z.'s "Mary J", Sesped's funky "Say You Are Gonna" or Dunes' bobbling "U Know How". An obligatory download.

Joy Orbison - Donell (edit)


I've been hunting down this edit since Krystal Klear dropped it in his Boiler Room set and Joy O finally made up his mind and just put it totally out of the blue on soundcloud. The super smooth edit flips the '99 classic r'n'b Donell Jones jam U Know What's Up. It's a freebie - in case you didn't, now you also know what's up.

Klaves - At Dawn Again EP

After being played by Gilles Peterson and featuring on XLR8R, we're also proud to present some quality polish electronic music in Klaves, the 21-old producer from Poznan w/ his more than solid debut EP released on Koh-I-Noor Records. Heartbeat works as the gentle opening to be followed by 3 great UK future garage/deep house bombs in the form of Closer, You and the best of all Hope It Gets To Love. Signature soulful vocal chops, lush pads and sparkling synths are all over the release, eagerly waiting for a 12'' and some new stuff - the talent's definately there.

TOKiMONSTA - Half Shadows

Must say I'm really suprised that TOKiMONSTA's sophomore (after 3 year of wait) Half Shadows doesn't get favorable reviews but just doesn't get any recognition. Maybe it's the label change? Who's knows, but we still stand that it's a quality release where Jenny elevates her sound and pulls into new directions (one's I was really hoping for). Apart from the first 3 instrumentals the rest are great, thought out songs. The MNDR collab pulls into electronic pop while Kool Keith gives a classic TOKi hip-hop punch. Tracks w/ Gavin Turek and Andreya Triana remind a bit of Creature Dreams (same w/ the instrumental interludes inbetween) and Jesse.. well that's the best one of all- deep, glitchy and soulful at the same time.

Spinnerty - Gestures EP


Take a cosmic journey into jazz and soul with Spinnerty's new Gestures EP. You can sample the sounds and also purchase the 10" vinyl below.

Go to Spinnerty's bandcamp

"RBM followers have long known Spinnerty for his production work behind vocalist like Joy Jones, Miles Bonny, John Robinson and Replife. This time we find Spinnerty collaborating with Chicago-based drummer Farsheed Toosi to create lush jazzy instrumentals that stand alone as full compositions. They mark a giant step forward in Spinnerty's maturity as a producer and jazzer, letting the instrumentation do the talking.

While Spinnerty's original versions work well for home-listening, radio, and loungey dj sets - Uptempo remixes by J Boogie, lil' dave, and Mecca:83 provide some excellent choices for the dancefloor. As a special treat for the vinyl-faithful, we have included "Drumapella" versions available only on the wax itself - original drum breaks courtesy of Spinnerty and Tossi. "
