On June 1st Bang ‘n Mash did their last party before the summer stop at Canvas Op de 7e (Amsterdam / NL) with The Funk Hunters as headliners. Supporting this awesome audio/video duo were Snowy D., Formula 75, Bassconnect and yours truly. At the height of the party the sweet club overlooking Amsterdam from the ......there's more
There’s no better way to end a blogging hibernation than by posting a release one of your own people did. Definitely if he’s dropped a tight mix depicting exactly what popular Trap music is about at this very moment, and also since it’s his first public mix in y-e-a-r-s. Being a Hip Hop Uomo ......there's more
Happy New Year everyone! We hope you had a great celebration with your friends, and ofcourse with good music. Since 2012 has passed on into 2013, here’s a little 1-hour recap of some great tunes (tracklist below the Soundcloud player). Beware, because this might be TOO FUTURE for you! Enjoy, and all the best for ......there's more
Yesterday the INI Movement released their first compilation, called “De Gulden Snede”. One glance at the tracklist quickly underlines the title, which is the Dutch translation for the golden ratio. The roster for this 14-track release boasts all digital artists, with a division between the more electronic side and the more natural side of music. ......there's more
Yes! Another dope bass-heavy mix by Spinnin’s DJ Sands. Aptly timed for the local Fuse party (Utrecht / NL) headlining Lunice tonight, and a nice warm-up for the next Lean Back party next Month.

To celebrate the 5th anniversary of their 2007 “Record“ album, the (so far) one-off project of Master Surreal and Skiggy Rapz as Keynote Speakerz will be available for download over the next two weeks! The cost? Name Your Price, also known as free. Although the release is now 5 years old, it still is ......there's more

In essence I always like to break it down into two types: funk played by traditional bands and electronic funk.

Clouds are formed by nature, and nature does what it pleases. You can say the same for the music by Cloud., who put out his latest release called “Bandit Veranda“ last night. You can argue whether it’s a mini-album (runtime: 30mins) or a beattape, both terms won’t do justice to this organic piece of work. ......there's more
Isn’t that nice? After finishing his work on the Alexis Davis project, British producer Evan Jones a.k.a. Rise a.k.a. Mecca:83 brings you a free compilation of tracks he has put on the web over the last year or so. That’s not nice, it’s freakin’ awesome! Why is it awesome? 1. It’s free, c’mon you ......there's more
