Suncebeat 3 The Garden Tisno, Croatia 27th - 29th July

Another event I will be playing at this summer. The last two events have been amazing and this one is looking like it could be even better. Full dj line-up coming soon.


The Garden Tisno is set in a gently hilly area which overlooks our own private bay with a shimmering sandy beach and crystal clear waters. The village of Tisno, split between the mainland and the island of Murter, is just a ten-minute walk away, with a host of restaurants, cafes, apartments and small boutique hotels. Situated between Zadar and Split airports, our new home is easy accessible from all over Europe.
We are also excited to offer some on-site accommodation options for the first time. The Garden Tisno has its very own village with 80 apartments holding 300 people, and 30 Indian Shikar tents with electric fans, lighting, proper beds, mosquito nets, a dressing room and porch area. There are also 120 pitches for people bringing their own tents.

Stan Smith - The Get Up Movement








Some brand new music from one of my favourite labels at the moment Tokyo Dawn.
Stan Smith's debut album 'The Get Up Movement' combines flawless rhyme schemes with state of the art beat architecture delivered by Daz-I-Kue (Bugz In The Attic), Rahgroove, SoulParlor and Yellowtail. Power-packed with uptempo b-boy and party anthems calling you to get up and move, 'The Get Up Movement' also reflects on the current state of media, society, the working class, the occupy movement etc.

Released 30th January

New Robert Glasper Experiment Album








On February 28, 2012, Robert Glasper Experiment will release Black Radio (Blue Note Records/EMI), a future landmark album that boldly stakes out new musical territory and transcends any notion of genre, drawing from jazz, hip hop, R&B and rock, but refusing to be pinned down by any one tag. The first full-length album from the GRAMMY-nominated keyboardist’s electric Experiment band—saxist Casey Benjamin, bassist Derrick Hodge, and drummer Chris Dave—Black Radio also features many of Glasper’s famous friends from the spectrum of urban music, seamlessly incorporating appearances from a jaw-dropping roll call of special guests including Erykah Badu, Bilal, Lupe Fiasco, Lalah Hathaway, Shafiq Husayn (Sa-Ra), KING, Ledisi, Chrisette Michele, Mos Def, Musiq Soulchild, Meshell Ndegeocello, and Stokley Williams (Mint Condition).
Throughout the Experiment wears its eclecticism on its sleeve, presenting new collaborative originals and surprising cover songs. They transform the Afro-Cuban standard “Afro Blue” with Erykah Badu, Sade’s “Cherish The Day” with Lalah Hathaway, David Bowie’s “Letter to Hermione” with Bilal, and Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit” with Casey Benjamin’s vocoder vocal.
Glasper has long kept one foot planted firmly in jazz and the other in hip hop. His gig at the Blue Note Jazz Club earlier this year became a freestyle jam session when Kanye West, Mos Def and Lupe Fiasco crashed the stage. The Los Angeles Times once wrote that “it’s a short list of jazz pianists who have the wherewithal to drop a J Dilla reference into a Thelonious Monk cover, but not many jazz pianists are Robert Glasper,” adding that “he’s equally comfortable in the worlds of hip-hop and jazz,” and praising the organic way in which he “builds a bridge between his two musical touchstones.”
The track listing for Black Radio is as follows:
  1. Lift Off/Mic Check (featuring Shafiq Husayn)
  2. Afro Blue (featuring Erykah Badu)
  3. Cherish The Day (featuring Lalah Hathaway)
  4. Always Shine (featuring Lupe Fiasco & Bilal)
  5. Gonna Be Alright (F.T.B.) (featuring Ledisi)
  6. Move Love (featuring KING)
  7. Ah Yeah (featuring Musiq Soulchild & Chrisette Michele)
  8. Consequence Of Jealousy (featuring Meshell Ndegeocello)
  9. Why Do We Try (featuring Stokley Williams)
  10. Black Radio (featuring Mos Def)
  11. Letter to Hermoine (featuring Bilal)
  12. Smells Like Teen Spirit
