Onra - L.O.V.E

Parisian beatmaker Onra has a demo. 

That demo is titled 'L.O.V.E'.

It's heat!

Onra - L.O.V.E by Onra

Here's a home-made video for 'My Comet' which I don't think I ever posted, but the track has been a top fave for the last couple of years.

Al Quetz a.k.a Quetzal - 'Drums Come From Africa'

In the last few years I have really gotten into original African sounds, particularly music from Nigeria, Ghana, Ethiopia, and north Africa.

Being a drum-head myself, this instrumental LP right here is a sweet combination of those lovely African rhythms and programmed hip-hop drums.

Judging by this pic from his Bandcamp page, we're gonna see a vinyl version. 

Swell.

It is pretty easy to get bored with a lot of "Instrumental" projects these days but there's some really good ideas going on here from Quetzal (who regularly teams up with Onra for production work).

Some of the beats are pretty fruity, and I love that!

Highly recommended.

Aloe Blacc X Auckland

Ohhh yes! Getting to packing my records for this one on Thursday night.

Aloe Blacc hits town with his 3-piece band on the 27th at AK City's Backstage.

I am lucky enough to playing DJ support as well as the NY City residing David Dallas.

Have to pack some funk, soul and hip-hop heat to keep all ya'll in a party mood.

See ya there...
