Wrapping up of April..Pt. 2

Other stuff i've been enjoying, but haven't had the time to let you know about it.. in other words, my most played..

My stevie wonder track of the moment.."Another Star".

MP3: Stevie Wonder - Another Star

I love Buzzin Fly record label. This song is probably my favourite to come from them, off the 2005 release "Outspoken Part 1". It's by Ben Watt (half of Everything but The Girl), with guest vocals from Estelle. Keep checking the website for new releases, or catch up on what you've missed from the label at beatport. Its summertime house with soul...

MP3 - Ben Watt - Pop A Cap in Yo Ass (Ft. Estelle) (Edit) Highly Highly Recommended.

In case You missed me going on about it before, make sure you set aside a tenner to buy Wiley's new album "Playtime Is Over"... Out June 2nd. Promo track and track by track album review, here. Boy can that guy spit....

Total Science (See Post Coming), Matrix / Futurebound have both been big on my most played list this month, but as far as drum and bass goes.. the month belongs to a track i was passed a while ago but it just passed me by. The original, i must admit, isnt a favourite of mine, mainly because Ghostface's rapping voice doesn't sit with me, but for the summer, Ne-Yo's voice sits perfectly on the bed provided by DJ Marky&Bungle. Watch out for both of these two...

MP3: Ghostface Killah & Ne-Yo - Back Like Dat (DJ Marky & Bungle Remix)


As far as Drum and Bass goes, also check out Alix Perez.. for the soulful side... Should hear about him pretty soon from me. .
