Best of all Worlds.

It’s another 3 days before I fly out to Turkey for a well deserved woohoo holiday… first a relaxing week in Istanbul (highly doubt the relaxing bit), then to Antalya for the seriously soulful Sun Splash Antalya festival… fantastic line up; Gilles Peterson, Louie Vega, Jose James, Benji B, Norman Jay are some of the names on the bill… I’m playing too :), the venue: extremely luxurious Hillside Su,  non of this rain and mud b.s…. very different, must do it once before you die kind of a deal… you will not be able to afford this venue otherwise.  You must come!  Starts on the 22nd of May, goes on till the 29th.  Expect heavy sunshine and loads of dancing.  Anyways still have two weeks to go before that adventure begins…

So here is the latest edition of my best of all worlds podcast series, the eye opener this week is the new Azymuth album…  I’m not going to ramble on about it too much… did a bit of that in my last post.  It’s a great album, buy it, share it, listen to it.  Don’t fucking download without paying for it.  So what else, well new music on Martyn’s 3024 label, an interesting remix from Untold… a track from the Marc Mac produced “Trac” album… the album is heavy.  Housey business from the 6th Borough Project, I believe there is an album in the horizon.  More music from the recent Marc de Clive-Lowe ep, and a fantastic acoustic cover of the Jay Dilla classic “Fall in Love” by the London based pianist Al Scott.

Loads more, please download, share, tweet this podcast as much as you can.

Thanks for listening,

A beautiful day in London, it’s 26 degrees out there, it was about time we got some proper sun in this country… I’m definitely hitting the park in a bit, though just thought I’ll post the latest best of all worlds podcast before I do so.

The highlight of this weeks podcast is the debut album from United Vibrations.  I saw these guys for the first time at the Creative Control Coalition launch party, that took place back while ago at The New Empowering Church.  I was totally blown away from their performance, so much energy…  I actually have some footage of their performance some where on my laptop.  Maybe I’ll post some of it later on.  In my opinion the 4 piece band is equally good on the album as they are live.  The music is a mixture of creative bit of jazz and funk, and the band definitely draws a lot of influences from Afro-beat music, especially in the rhythm section.  I guess nothing more to say apart from, “you need to buy this album” and support this upcoming great British band.

Also in this weeks podcast, new music from Mark de Clive-Lowe, the 5 track Leaving This Planet EP is out… he has collaborated with some very talented vocalists, I believe a new album is in the horizon, so more on that in the next edition, but if you can’t wait till then, you can purchase the EP from Mark’s band camp site… new Azymuth on Far Out Records, I haven’t managed to listen to the whole Aurora album yet, so instead of featuring it this weeks podcast, I gave you a little taster.  Freerange have been putting out some fantastic bits of house music within the last few months… recently purchased some of their current releases,  so expect some quality deep house music in this weeks podcast as well.

Thanks for listening,
