Not sure how we even came about this one…was probably Asa just popping up on our Facebook stream lol. Love what he has done to the ‘Initiation’ track by The Weeknd. Hard drum loops for the dam win. Not for release, just a dance floor bootleg. Keep up to date with all things Asa on his page here.
MeLo-X x Drake x The Weeknd – Crew Love (Live Remix)
We love MeLo-X. Its been stated on here before and we have no qualms that will be iterated again and again. He is famous for his instrumentals and production, but he is also infamous for his live remixes.
Using his MPD and pre loaded samples and cuts of his own, he brings together his take on ‘Crew Love’ from Drakes ‘Take Care’ album, featuring The Weeknd. You can pre-order his latest instrumental album now. Stay in touch here.
Dirg Gerner – My Queen
The mysterious figure of Dirg Gerner is still a faceless anomaly to most, but the HoTep Records signee has soulfully meandered a way into the hearts of those at ET HQ. Probably first noticed via a collaboration with London-based mastermind, fLako, on a track called ‘I Want You’ (which made Gilles Peterson’s ‘Brownswood Bubblers Five’), he’s recently thrown together a five track EP called ‘Preface’.
‘My Queen’ showcases the experimental and soulful twirps that are regular throughout the whole cut.
The Weeknd – Echoes Of Silence
Brand new and hot off the press, ‘Echoes Of Silence‘ the third instalment from Indie R&B artist, ‘The Weeknd‘ is out now to download.
People have been waiting patiently for this and we hope it doesn’t disappoint, which for his fans we are pretty sure it won’t (sadly lots of reports coming in that this one might not have made the mark.. you decide). Big ups to the whole Indie label power movement going on.
Star Slinger – Dumbin x Diplo Remix
We love R&B, well only the good kind of course (no Minaj). The UK’s very own Star Slinger has released his debut single “Dumbin’ feat. Reggie B.” out now on Green Label Sound records.
Here is the exclusive Diplo remix for you to listen to and also download here for free. Big ups to Green Label, Star Slinger & Diplo of course.
Intelligent Hoodlum Vol 3 – I Love The 90s
As the summer glimmers in the near distance i can never help myself but reminisce of my childhood, which for me was the 1990′s. When R&B was badder than bad and ever fresh and evolving ( and yes, right now its very poor!). This is part one of a special series i will be doing over the summer, celebrating the vast amount of amazing music i grew up with. Starting with R&B, here is 20 tracks including some early 90s tracks some slow jams and some New Jack Swing. Montel Jordan, SWV, Ginuwine, 112, Aaliyah and lots more its defiantly an education in good music.
