Mikey Murka - Downpressor Man

"Mikey started his career back in 1983 with the legendary Unity Sound System in London. Continually rocking the dancehalls then and being a competitor with Shaka’s sound the whole thing grew until Rib, the man behind Unity, finally started to produce own tracks. Thus the absolutely unique Unity sound was created, mostly digital smashers simply done with Casio keyboards and SynDrums, the energetic and easy vocal style of the sound system crew all over the place. Mikey scored a few hits then, like the brilliant ‘We Try’ or ‘Ride Pon The Riddim’ which reached no. 3 in the Reggae charts, and many more." - LastFM

TRG - Broken Heart (Martyn Remix)

"The excitement surrounding Bucharest’s dubstep sensation TRG has been steadily growing with Mary Anne Hobbs championing his first release, Put You down/ Broken Heart on BBC Radio 1, followed by an enviable music press coverage in ATM, iDJ, Mixmag, Dummy, One Week To Live and support from the blogosphere. Releasing later tracks on Hotflush, Hessle Audio, Subway, Immerse, Audio Freakz have put TRG firmly on the music map, with sonic excursions from dubbed-out minimal finesse to mutant garage revival to full-on breakbeat mayhem." - LastFM

Janet Jackson - Got It Til It's Gone (Ummah's Uptown Saturday Night Mix)

"The Ummah was a music production collective, composed of members Q-Tip and Ali Shaheed Muhammad of A Tribe Called Quest, and the late Jay Dee (also known as J Dilla) of the Detroit based group Slum Village. Occasional members included Raphael Saadiq, and D'Angelo. In addition to producing the entirety of A Tribe Called Quest's fourth and fifth albums, The Ummah provided backing tracks for a notable array of hip hop and R&B artists, including Busta Rhymes, Whitney Houston, Keith Murray, Brand New Heavies, Janet Jackson, and Jon B. The group was so named because two of its members (Tip and Ali) are devout Muslims. The word "ummah" is Arabic for "community" or "brotherhood"." - Wikipedia

88 Keys - The Scott Steinway Trio

"About three quarters through HipHopDX’s lengthy interview with 88-Keys, the phone randomly cut off. “I talked your [phone] off,” Keys joked via instant messenger. The Long Island native is definitely long-winded, but as a veteran of the music industry since he was 14 years old, he’s got tons of stories to tell. Forming a friendship and business relationship with a local record collector/vendor after meeting them in a quest to buy Roy Ayers’ Everybody Loves the Sunshine, he started going to record conventions and rubbing shoulders with Hip Hop legends. Even his stage name was a result of Large Professor calling him such in a casual freestyle after seeing the man at the keyboard." - hiphopdx

Atlanntic Connection - Danger Zone (featuring Lynx)

"Ever wondered what modern Drum & Bass would sound like if you crossed it with Hip Hop, Jazz, Soul, Electro and any other influence you could get your grubby hands on? Well so did Atlantic Connection when he decided to craft his stunning new album ‘Tomorrow’s Not Enough’, a labour of love which has taken him the best part of the last year to complete. The album sees Atlantic Connection offer the listener a peek into his audiological world, a concept which includes his move from North Carolina to his current home of Los Angeles and the emotions involved with that, right through to the completion of the album itself. If you want to hear one of the most daring and honest musical projects the D&B scene has to offer this year, you need to pick up ‘Tomorrow’s Not Enough’." - nu.urban music

Flyt - Free

Lush vocals, laid back beats and jazzy overtones define the distinctive FLYT sound. Working out of their North London home studio, husband and wife team Josh and Mary Mycroft have created their own unique style centred around Josh's treasured Fender Rhodes and Mary's evocative voice.Drawing on their mutual love of soul music old and new, they have beautifully combined the talents of live musicians with programmed beats to create their debut album 'SOUL MENTALITY'. The result is a flawless example of soothing, organic contemporary soul music born of a shared vision which realises their love, not only of good music but also of each other. - Dancetracks Digital
