LA beat label Soulection give away entire discography for free

Los Angeles collective Soulection is celebrating reaching 200,000 followers on SoundCloud by giving away their entire back catalogue for free. Born out of the ashes of the late ’00s LA beat scene, the label, artist collective and radio show was launched in 2011 by by Joe Kay, visual artist Guillaume Bonte and motion designer Andre Power. Soulection has developed a reputation as a melting pot of styles and influences. Whilst it remains firmly grounded within the reals of hip hop, the label also weaves elements of soul and dance music into its diverse output. Since its establishment, the label has released music from North America, South America, Europe and Australia.

Along with its entire back catalogue, Soulection has also today shared a collection of Sade remixes entitled Love Is King. Visit Soulection’s website to download the discography. Tapes - Somebodies Baby. Bon Entendeur. Rome Fortune & OG Maco - "Pay Rent" (Prod. by Ben Pramuk) A Guide to Gqom by Jumping Back Slash. Behind the extraordinary rise of the house movement in South Africa, and the international acclaim that’s come with it, there’s an interesting dynamic at work; one which Cape Town producer and DJ Jumping Back Slash is all too aware of, as expressed in a recent interview with Mahala.

A Guide to Gqom by Jumping Back Slash

He speaks of a “weird reticence and ignorance” from South Africans towards music that sounds “local”. While Western media looks towards producers and bands creating new and innovative takes on South African music, greater local recognition goes to producers looking to replicate international sounds. “It’s like you are rewarded for being an imitator”, he laments. Much loved by Western media and audiences, Spoek Mathambo, Nozinja and John Wizards are three victims of this and is something that Jumping Back Slash has experienced himself.

He changed his name to Siete Catorce and has moved on to other things. For this article I will provide a mixtape of Cumbia from one of my old mixtapes, which I featured on NCE but on a different post. It is a mix of essential DJ Neber edits. I must admit I sat down many times to start writing this post and just couldn’t get going. This is a difficult subject to take on. As I struggled to get my head together to write this I entered many places of thought. Deeper as in to ask the age old question asked and contemplated about countless times since we started being aware of our own existence. The truth is we all know the answers we’re searching for. I often ask elderly people what is most important. Comments Comments. Peleng art. Noyzelab. Instant Mastering Plans & Pricing. Bonobo - "Eyesdown" (Machinedrum Remix)

Whale - Hobo Humpin Slobo Babe I’ve been heading...

I’ve been feeling nostalgic for my teenage years, and trying to compile some really good self serving mixes for the time period. I could EASILY come up with an entire playlist of really great 90s tracks by bands that would be considered One Hit Wonders Sweden’s Whale is one of those bands. If you’re in your 30s or older, you no doubt remember this mouthy woman with deep red lipstick and obtrusive braces smiling with a lollipop gracing your television screen.

If I could quote the great couch philosopher’s Beavis & Butthead “this kinda like uh…rocks.” You’re right Butthead, the guy in the dress IS grooving. So now I find myself giving their entire album, We Care, a shot. No other song on the album holds a candle to Hobo Humpin Slobo Babe in its unbridled energy and grit.
