Label mates Diggy Simmons and Bruno Mars have teamed up for this brilliant track, which currently has no project to call home. Might be a mixtape track, or it could be Diggy’s first official single. He is getting better each time I hear him.
Another Phonte related post, but this time it’s a feature for the new single from rapper/producer Focus. This guy never disappoints, whether it be singing or rapping. Has that classic Little Brother sound to it.
The other day I brought you the first of two Dubstep remixes for Ed Sheeran’s debut single, The A-Team. Here is the second, which is from the production team, True Tiger, who continue to smash it with everything they release at the minute. A lot more mellow than their usual sound this is another example of a remix being done correctly and with a lot of thought, for an artist who knows their music and knows how to put together a stunning EP. Onwards and upwards for both parties in 2011.
New single from Edo G’s upcoming album, A Face In The Crowd, which will have features from Bishop Lamont, M1 & Chali 2na. Great production as always from Preemo, but Edo has so much lyrical prowess on the mic.
Here are two tracks from a stunning new album, Charlie Hearnshaw Gets Peng! Mr. Hearnshaw is an extremely talented musician who plays the Clarinet, Basset Clarinet and Alto Sax. He studied classical clarinet, composition and conducting at Dartington College of Arts during the seventies, followed by further clarinet studies in Paris before going on to work with many top jazz musicians from the UK and abroad including Don Weller, Pete Jacobson, Andy Sheppard, Kathy Stobart, Alan Barnes and the late great Slim Gaillard. This new release is a mixture of Jazz and House, creating the most perfect album for summer, and beyond. Who needs vocals when you have instruments that make sounds like this? Timeless music that I will still be listening to in 30/40/50 years time.
Here is a spectacular laid back Dubstep remix of Ed Sheeran’s official debut single, The A-Team, which is currently Zane Lowe’s Hottest Record In The World. Courtesy of Koan Sound, this is the perfect sound for a beautiful summers day like today, uniquely chopping up the vocals and creating a brilliant twist on the original. I imagine the True Tiger remix will be much heavier, but this is going to take some beating. Special.
Here is the first track to come from Consequence’s upcoming mixtape, Movies In Demand 3, which is produced by Mr. KanYe West. This mixtape series has been top class and this is just another reason why Cons is one of my favourite MCs; he is a monster on the mic. Classic sampling from ‘Ye too.
