Featured Artists (click the images for further information)

Spinnerty

Slow Drag Travelers

Slow Drag Travelers is the brainchild of musician, producer and vocalist DaRon Jones. If you are a regular listener of the show you will have heard his productions (under various guises) over the past 3 years. The combination of fuzzy drum patterns, dreamy synth pads and heartcore lyrics is everything future soul music should be. The new album is available on Bandcamp. Review and purchase below

Incognito

The new album from Incognito celebrates their 30th anniversary. Guest vocalists include Chaka Khan, Leon Ware and Mario Biondi. Highly recommended!!

Droppin’ Mirrors

Independent German label ThinkLound presents Droppin’ Mirrors is a musical cross-section of past collaborations, as well as a glimpse of projects to come. The compilation contains almost nothing but exclusive productions. These are the natural result of joint shows with, and tours managed by ThinkLoud’s DJ Conikt across Germany and Europe. They managed to get artists like Aloe Blacc (Stones Throw), Kev Brown (Up Above), Grand Agent (Superrappin’) and Oddisee (Diamond District) on board. At the same time, young and talented artists like Portformat, Shuanise, Fid Mella, and others have found their way onto the album. They embody the very sound ThinkLoud are aiming for. A major portion of the songs were composed by in-house producer Stroe, and recorded together with the guest artists in Berlin. The result is a genre-crossing product that transcends its roots in Rap, Experimental, and neo-Soul. Droppin’ Mirrors sets sail towards electronically fragmented, soulful beats, deconstructivist arrangements, and unconventional ideas to let a charm of its own flourish. Preview and purhase here.
