Erol Sabadosh - Big Love (July 2010 Mix)


Fast becoming London’s sought after DJ and a personal favorite of ours, The artiste extraordinaire that is Erol Sabadosh takes time from playing venues from Beach Blanket Babylon, Punk, Whisky Mist and various clubs in Europe to blend in a new mix of Electro Indie. “It’s Emotional” He described it to me as “different” and we all know how different can be something special. Beats being and doing the same as everyone else. Check out the new mix and sure to catch him at any of his DJ sets in the coming weeks/months. I suggest bugging him on his Twitter (Click Here) for more info.

HAVANA CULTURA (LIVE): NEW CUBA SOUND

I really have to give a big up to Giles Patterson he's a poineer in his support for just straight up good music, being one of the first DJ's to support in the UK artists such as Theophilus London, Jay Electronica, he recently just signed one of my favourite and most promising UK musical talents Ghostpoet to his brownswood records.



But another thing of important note with Mr Patterson is his promotion of global sound, check out his Havana Cultura Projects which have been running for the past year. We hit up one of the parties early on in 2010 and it was latino funk joy of dancing, rhythms and passionate vocals. He's also just released Havana Remixed, which I have been blessed enough to recieve and bump through my stereo happily coninciding with a little bit of summer we're getting this year.

To coincide with the latest release from globetrotting DJ Gilles Peterson – ‘Havana Cultura Remixed’, Havana Club rum will host two concerts of Cuba’s freshest musical talent - performing Latin, afro jazz and fusion to hip hop, funk, reggaeton and R&B.

There are only two UK dates and you can check them out here

Saturday 3 July @ The Sage Gateshead
Tuesday 6 July @ Barbican, London

Janelle Monae x B.O.B x Lupe Fiasco

I know I've gone a bit music blogging crazy over the past couple of months, but man there's sooo much good shit out there right now, I keep virtually finding my way into youtube and spotify and virtually wetting my ears with sick new music followed by my pants.

I couldn't make my way down to the Janelle Monae concert tonight like loads of my friends, but I did console myself with this!!!



Hope you like

love the janes
