The Master Plan Pt.1

Innerground Music's Masterplan will finally hit the internet today. Well worth checking out if you like drum and Bass - three of the best soulful tipped tunes i've heard all year and the CABLE tune is slightly harder in a pleasant way. 'One Year On' and 'Shame' (Ben Westbeech) are sure to be/are absolutely huge..!

Westbeech goes Swing

From Brownswood site,

To celebrate our first birthday, we will be re-releasing Ben Westbeech's summer anthem, 'So Good Today', backed up by two new remixes on 7" vinyl; an infectiously upbeat reworking of the track by the Dap-Kings, and an acoustic version too!

Dapkings version is truly magic, get it on plastic or digital at Juno.

Ben Westbeech @ Southport Weekender

Gilles Set should be along soon with some others..

Music and Thinking are so Alike

Ben Westbeech. His album is one of the best things i've come across all year, and is constantly spinning with me. Recognised by Gilles Peterson, his single "So Good Today" was the first to be released on Brownswood Recordings (Petersons Own Label). . .

He can also be found in some pretty hot drum and bass tracks... See "Number One" and the Rockers Mix of "Get Closer" with producers Die & Clipz.. if thats your sound.

Well.. Here's his Annie Mac MiniMix.. and a highlight off the album...

MP3: Ben Westbeech - MiniMix (5 minutes (six here)..usual thing..)

MP3: Ben Westbeech - Get Silly

Previous B. Westbeech track.. (RIP) -- Here **** (Highly Highly Recommended)

You've now got to grab the album.. or for those of you who spin, get the vinyls for some smooth remixes. . @ Brownswood. Or Amazon for those of you a little less cultured.

Remixes = Domu/Osunlade/Karizma/Wahoo

And those of you into your new music.. funk/jazz/soul.. keep checking the brownswood site cause theres some outstanding acts coming out of there at the moment (Jose James..)

Other News, some of you mightve been lucky enough to see the Justice d.a.n.c.e video.. I have...woahh. I want those t-shirts.

SunriseSet

I don't really feel like talking today. New Junior Boys EP, titled "Dead Horse EP" landed with me yesterday. I played it through once, and now twice, and it doesn't disappoint. Particular favourite is the veteran Carl Craig's Remix of "Like A Child", a soothing 10 minute trip in which he slowly and classily builds, while draining more soul out of the song than I thought possible. Perfect to watch the sunrise too, and sure to be the a focal point in many sunrise sets this summer.

Make sure you cop the EP - featuring remixes from HOT CHIP, marsen jules, kode9 and Tensnake. Get junior boys stuff here and check their myspace here.

MP3: Junior Boys - Like A Child (Carl Craig Remix)

This week I also came across toronto hiphop/reggae/r&b/soul artist K-OS (pronounced kaos). His latest album titled "Atlantis: Hyms of Disco" is a complete mix of any sound remotely urban, and while not all of it struck the right chords with me, it was well worth some of the gems i came across. See what you think, posting, probably my favourite track off the album, "The Rain". Get his album here.

(No idea why its underlining my text now, but i'l continue)

Check his myspace here

MP3: K-OS - The Rain

Lastly, a track ive loved since its release in 2006. British artist Ben Westbeech, who I will champion until I die, can do no wrong, sounding uniquely soulful yet never a cliche, as this track proves.

Check his myspace here. Purchase his songs here.

MP3: Ben Westbeech - So good Today

Im also super happy because the new maximo park album is currently in my headphones.

Enjoy Your Day, and let me know what you like.
