Stop.Look.Listen. Podcast #17 *FREE TRACK DL PACK*

At last - here it is - episode 17 of the SLL Podcast series. I've been a little absent the last couple of weeks owing to frantic job interviews, but it does mean I had a wicked backlog of music to dig through and serve up for y'all.

The mix was compiled in the blazing sunshine in Sydney today, so I'm hoping I've captured some in the selection. Expect lots of lush downtempo hip-hop, funk, dub and electronica, as well as the usual quirky bits 'n' pieces. There are some epic free compilations out there at the moment, including new business from First Word with their latest 'Two Syllables' and Groovement's brand new 'Volume One' long-player, both of which are previewed here.

Also, as of this week I'll be offering-up all the free promos as a one-click download, if you fancy spicing-up your iPod and listening to some amazing new music. Enjoy!

Stop.Look.Listen. Podcast #16

I was a little slack with the funkier joints this week because of all the house music I was devouring. So with episode 16 of the Stop.Look.Listen. Podcast, I'm looking to put that right.

Expect the usual soulful journey, with a hearty dose of classics this week in the form of re-edits and covers of Blackstreet, Michael Jackson, Leo Sayer, Stevie Wonder and Chaka Khan. 

Enjoy kids, and have a great weekend!

Hot 8 Brass Band – Milwaukee Fat (Tru Thoughts)

Yet another release coming from Brighton’s Tru Thoughts, ‘Milwaukee Fat’ is the first single from the Hot 8 Brass Band’s eagerly anticipated new album ‘Tombstone’, due for release on 20th May.

Offering a lens on the lives and loves of the band, the lead single is actually a dedication to tuba player Kerwin James – otherwise known as Milwaukee Fat – formerly of New Orleans outfit the New Birth Brass Band and a close friend of Hot 8. Sadly Kerwin died suddenly following his evacuation to Houston in the wake of Hurricane Kartrina, with the track bearing his name a true testament to the high regard which they clearly held him. As such, the recording is full of exuberant energy in its excitable instrumental style and zealous vocal ad-libs, playing like a suddenly realized music revelation in its assertive sonic confidence.
‘Hot 8 Shit’ is of similar ilk in its massive party vibe, be it with a slightly more pronounced hip hop flavor.

Call it B-hop, B-funk or whatever you want, the Hot 8 gang continues to deliver incredible, forward thinking brass-led dancefloor fodder in spades, and clearly have a bloody good time doing it!

‘Milwaukee Fat’ is out on 6th May via Tru Thoughts. Preview and pre-order the single on iTunes here. | truthoughts.co.uk
