Thundercat

So I went to see Erykah Badu in Brixton a few months ago, it was ok and for the very reason I was gutted simply because ERYKAH BADU should not be just OK especially LIVE. The light at the end of the tunnel? she was supported by this brilliant musician called Thundercat fin







Ben WestBeech

This guy refreshing, great voice with a real soulful house sound combined with jazz.





Saturday Night Jam

Alex Clare

Ever wondered what Florence and the Machine would be like if she was called Frederick and the machine NO? me neither ....... anyway's here is Alex Clare with an interesting track about a hummingbird, I really like it its thoughtful and fun.

Weightless

Grungy rock with strong vocals. The riffs are head noddingly delightful

Metronomy

80's enthused super indie pop and you know what it I really like it. The album English Riviera is c'est magnifique. The video looks like it was directed by wham or duran duran.

Ibiza Break Over

Hello again heardrummers, So I got back from Ibiza safe, sound and unhealthy. I felt it only right to put down the anthems of the amigos vacation.

Avicii - Levels

Saturday Night Jam


So a few musically like minded fellas met up last night to put the music industry to right, and exchange sound blows in a very relaxed competition over Cockspur (Barbados Rum) and a Snappy pizza. We reminisced, we drank, we argued, we laughed.

Hear are some of the peaches that where discovered from the evening.











Thursday 18 August 2011

Herbie Hancock

Riot

Jay Electronica & The Bullitts

Angelic, soulful chilled out music with Jay Electronica blessing the track with some quality.

Funky Dl Blackcurrent Jazz 2 Teaser


Dude if you don't buy the Funky Dl album after this teaser then there's something wrong with you in the words of Dave Chappelle "I want that purple Stuff"!!!

Josh Stone


I know what your thinking, "where the hell has she been" or maybe "I thought we got rid of her". Either way she's back with a new album LP1, and you know what its pretty decent this track blogged is one of my favourites off the album.

Drive all Night

Kyless Reccomends 5

New peaches from Chi-Town hound.

Fantastic Mr Fox Over


James Blake Sparing the horse


Daedalus Tailor made Floating Point remix


Tall Black Guy

Golden Sun,

Beautifully jazz enthused house music, just makes you want to sit back and say ahhh damn! I wish Heardrum would've shown me this sooner.

Saturday 6 August 2011

yeezy & Hovy

So Finally FINALLY!!!! Jay Z and Kanye are releasing an album together titled "The Throne", Otis is one of the cool soulful signature Kanye tracks (think Goldigger) from the album get on it as it will be everywhere soon.

Kendrick Lamar

Ahh the refreshing sound of new decent hip hop. This new kid on the block could possibly be the next big thing. Just like his predecessors Drake and J Cole his mix tape section 80 has absolutely smashed it.

Kush Corinthians
in my opinion one of the best tracks off section 80.

Saturday 30 July 2011

Sa-ra feat Erykah Badu



typical sa-ra modern funkadelic soul,

Saturday 16 July 2011

Drake

Drake Do it all,

The experimental neptunes esque samples are just bang on.

Drizzy does his thing as per.

Dj Khaled On one



lil Weezy, Drizzy Drake and Rick Ross are on one and I don't mean a diet.

Dj Khaled providing a track with trance influences with nice snare claps, its what I like to call the right amount of cheese.

Saturday 2 July 2011

Kyless Reccomends 4

More Pearls from the Chicago Joe that is Kyless.

Sepalcure fleur


Dorian Concept Toe Games Made Her Giggle


Tall black guy WaterNoEnemy

Jill Scott in the Light of the Sun

So her new album came out on 20th June and I got to admit its not a love at first hear album its most definitely a grower hence the time taken to even begin to discuss it. In true Heardrum fashion I'm going to lace you with the peaches.

Making you wait,
Parting away from the jazz influence and really getting to grips with new sounds.



So Gone
I got to be honest it sounds like a Marsha Ambrosius track but as expected Jill Scott applies the right level of "Sho you Right" Smooth vocals. Its a shame about Pall Wall but even Aston Martin has some ugly parts.



Rolling Hills
Signature Scott jazz influ, perfect vocals. great base and guitar just beautiful.

Saturday 11 June 2011

Cro-Magnon

Behold the awesomemness of this Japanese Jazz band

I have yet to hear a track by these guys that I dislike, great band. I'm just going to give you the peaches because I could talk about these guys till the cows come home. Since I don't have any cows that could be a very loooong time.

Black Mahagoni


Midnight magic ft Roy Ayers


Time Flies Ft Steve Spacek

Sbtrkt

This guy keeps popping up everywhere Jessie Ware nailing the vocals as per with guest a appearance of Sampha. This track just reminds me of the garage days.

Nervous Ft Jessie Ware





This track has been on the circuit for the pass few weeks, there's a real bad ass feel to this tune with dirty synths and a filthy base.

Wildfire Ft Little Dragon

Mr Scruff

I remember one particular night at the music box in Manchester with my bessie Johan just grooving to the cool sounds of Mr Scruff on the 1s & 2s awesome night. Great night great track

Jazz potato

Audio lotion

Balm Beach, the fusion of jazz and drum & bass very rarely sounds this good, jazz heads, drum heads lend me your ears. Very awesome very rare less than 2000 views!!!



Voodoo velvet
tribal sounds blended with jazz it just gets better.

Sunday 5 June 2011

Chunky Move

Sure it sounds like an offensive thing to say to a slightly weighty person, but thats where the similarity begins and ends.

This mon frere's is where technology and art meet to create something of sheer beauty and interest.

The tracks are pretty good as well.

Revenge of Bilal

Yeah sure I know Airtight Revenge came out in Sept last year but I've only just got around to listening to it. Bilal has really stretched his creative wings with this album and it really suits him some tracks are genius, some real sa-ra influences and beautiful guitar riffs.








Stuff Daddy

Listened to a few of this guys tracks over the weekend but none of them grabbed me like this one, he has cut up dreaming of a white Christmas in a dillatastic fashion. its well put together and had me head nodding like q tip in vivrant thing.

Azymuth

Aurora real smooth jazz, imagine Jamiroquai without the jay kay vocals, instead chuck in a French guy to take the smooth levels that bit further.

Nu Brand Flexxx

Spellbound,

British hipster hip hop music I was wondering when this would really crossover, can you say British cool kids?

But all in all its a good track hence why its been blogged.

Skream & Shy FX

Shy fx have grabbed skream and given him a good soulful shake, beautiful liquid sounds.

The Raah Project

I should've blogged this months upon months ago, I put it on face book but deserved so much more love.

If you cant hear dilla in this there something wrong with your ears.

Space between thoughts

Hauschka Ping

I have no explannation for this track other than its just feels good, experimental I suppose is the term used for it.

Terry Callier

Dancing girl, voice like gil scott heron and the smoothness of a boiled egg.

Connell's Soul Cuts

Beautiful piece of J-dilla inspired jazz from Connell's soul box, the hip hop prodigal son has returned home to its original roots.



Friday 25 March 2011

Pharoahe Monch Is A Renegade

W.A.R We Are Renegades and the verdict? Lyrical brilliance rage against the machine but why not dance and nod your head while doing it?

Im waiting to get my hands on the other single Haile Selassie Karate, but you know what I'm going to leave you in the hands of the soul goddess Jill Scott and the phenomenal Pharoahe.

Buffalo Springfield

So Im watching tropic thunder and I thought to myself I have always really liked this tune.

For what its worth

Pete Philly ft Roos Jonker

Remember you, awesome piece of classical rythmed new soul, hear essences of Eric Roberson but enough of that just watch this dude put a jacket on, R'las would be well annoyed if I took that long bad enough I take so long in the shower.





Kyless Reccomends 3

J*Davey

Towa Tei

Its time to play name that sample, this particular track holds a special part in my heart as its the original from which a sample was used for one of my favourite hip hop tracks Find a Way by a tribe called quest.

Check it out

James Blake's James Blake

JB released the long awaited album on 7th Feb and he really hasn't dissapointed, Zane Lowe named it album of the week and sounded like he was ready to have JB's children

I have picked out some of my personal favourites of this cracker. Keen Heardrummers would've seen that I blogged "unluck" last week and "Limit to your love" weeeeeeekksss agoooooo (the elongated text is supposed to emphasise the length of time)

anyways less from me more from the JB.

Madslinky feat zed bias

Just awesome full stop enough said well floor filler enough said.

Jim Blake

More from Mr James Blake the expected big thing of this year. Limit to your love was a big one which I blogged earlier this year but Unluck simply takes the creative biscuit. huge dubstep base with a electro rythmic soulful sound. Suck it and see.

GhostPoet

Homegrown Coventry sound
If Mike Skinner was black he would be like ghostPoet.
