→ This week! New LP by El Michels Affair, the band of NY soul-funk master Leon Michels, 24 Hours Sport, features two of our recent favorite artists, Brazilian Rogê, and Ghanaian Florence Adooni on the funky "Say Goodbye". Afro-soul-jazz UK band Kokoroko released the new LP Tuff Times Never Last on Brownswood, with the laid-back, soulful "Da Du Dah"! New single "Elevator (Is Broken)" by Addison Groove on the breaks side of things! Travelling back in time to Brazil, with the beautiful "Lindo" by Wanderléa, back in 1978, and a tribute to the Wizard (O Bruxo), vizionary multi-instrumentalist and composer Hermeto Pascoal, who passed away last month. Here's the track "Bebê" from the A Música Livre De Hermeto Pascoal LP released back in 1973. Enjoy!

→ This week! After a summer break, excited to get back at it for a new season! Amazing EP by British rapper Rarelyalways alongside US singer Nia J with the banger "Paid". The whole EP is really worth it! UK multidisciplinary artist Brian Nasty released the soulful, drums heavy "Belly Of The Beast" on Big Dada. We love those drums! Disrupta releases a great jungle remix from the 2020 track "soulboy" by p-rallel and Greentea Peng on Different Recordings. Travelling back in time to 1978 with the soul-funk track "Survive" by Lebron Brothers, as well as the latin soul "Hola Muchacho / Hey Boy", a song by Carole King and Gerry Goffin from 1968. If anyone knows who's the singer on that track, I'd be happy to hear!
