Here’s the final and 3rd video from the recent free event by The Miguel Atwood-Ferguson Ensemble in Los Angeles, CA. Hopefully by now, you’ve checked the previous two videos, one featuring Bilal (video here), and the other featuring Flying Lotus (click here for the vid). Backed by some of today’s …
Forgotten Treasure: The Time “Get it up” (1981)
Little 80’s Boogie action to start the week nicely. For those who didn’t know The Time was a group in the 80s consisted of some of Prince’s entourage and musicians but most notably Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis (the decade most prolific production duo). Anyyyywho, bought this record in Toronto …
Forgotten Treasure: Timmy Thomas “Why Can’t We Live Together”
I was just having a conversation with my good friend Bowly(who by the way just happens to be on fire production-wise, go check out his new EP out on Berkane Sol) about the last forgotten treasure I posted which was from Shuggie Otis. He was saying this Timmy Thomas is …
R.Kelly “When a woman loves” video
Following in the classic soul revival of the last few years (Raphael Saadiq, Adele, Mark Ronson, etc…) the R is bringing it back to the doo-wop steez. Just plain and simple Sam Cooke gangster soul! I would make a joke about peeing on that very woman who loves, but i …

D’Angelo “Interpretations and Remakes”
While we wait (and wait and wait) for D’Angelo, check out this dope compilation of covers of his favorite soul jams.
Future Classic: Ahu “To Love”
Dope dope new stuff from AHU (full name Ahu Kelesoglu). Long tipped as a vocalist to watch, Ahu steps softly from the shadows of her lauded guest appearances to deliver To Love. It’s a captivating performance from the Turkish singer who I first discovered as the lead vocalist for the Flying …
Jamiroquai “White Knuckle Ride”
It’s the Return of the Space Cowboy! I’ve been a fan of Jamiroquai since the first album back in 1992. Mixing funk, jazz and disco, Jason Kay aka Jamiroquai has established himself as one of Britain’s most innovative artist of his generation. Five years after his last studio album, ‘Dynamite’, …
Future Classic: Andreya Triana “Lost Where I Belong”
In the shadows of the Ninja Tune label for a very long time with her collaborations with Mr Scruff and more recently on the Bonobo ‘Black Sand’ album, Andreya Triana will finally deliver her first album on September 07, 2010. The first time I heard Andreya’s voice was back in …

While we are all waiting for the release of Bilal’s new album, here a little video of Miguel Atwood-Ferguson Ensemble featuring Bilal recorded live in Los Angeles. The song is a cover of “Someday We’ll All Be Free” from the one and only Donny Hathaway. Bilal is one of these …
MED + MADlib = So fine music
MED and MADlib are killing it ! Dope as fuck! Representing the west coast, MEDaphoar is my favourite MC from the Stones Throw family.
Forgotten Treasure: Carl Carlton “She’s a bad mama jama” (1981)
Carl Carlton is not to be confused with Carl Carlson who is Lenny’s ambiguous best friend in the Simpsons. This track is one of my favorite 80’s boogie tracks ever, even if it isn’t the most obscure. It makes me want to be able to dance like the original lockers, …
