Kingdom launches new label.

 
Kingdom, the New Yorker responsible and probably best known for Fogs (which on a personal note has been my ringtone for about a year..) has started up his label. He's always been a busy guy, releases all over the place, two of his club nights and now his own label Fade To Mind. The first release is from fellow New Yorkers Nzuguzunguzu with 3 original tracks and 2 remixes from Total Freedom and Kingdom himself.

Damu - Mermaid

Out on Local Action in July, catch it on digital or vinyl. Colourful vibes, rainbow riddim!

Introducing: Tanka

With cuts dripping in 808 percussion, subtle melodies, good use of vocals and pounding beats I just had to introduce (some of) you to Francis Leigh from Winchester, aka Tanka. Have a butchers at just a couple of these, be sure to scan through the whole soundcloud.

What have I missed!!??

Bloody hell! I was at war with Apple about controlling my data, the data they said they'd have to delete to replace my hard drive. Anyway, I'm back and what have I missed?? Joker's back with The Vision. Jamie xx's eagerly anticipated Numbers release has finally surfaced, with 'Beat For' massive on the flip. The Maurice Donovan release I was waiting for came out, happy about that. Africa Hitech and Hyetal with their albums, both so individual in their own rights. New Bok Bok, Sigha, Machinedrum and Deadboy releases will be getting mega plays. Lastly, Through Motion came out and Midland gives me chills with that bassline.

So, I know some of these have been out for a while, but I lost my Mac in April, I have been severely deprived!

Now I'm ready to push with Red Leather, the label. Demo's are welcome!

Teeth - Shawty/Shawty (FaltyDL Remix)

Forthcoming on Oneman's 502 imprint. The original has been getting massive support from the top tier DJ's while FaltyDL on the flips throws the script out the window with some "future blues".
