More MPM Sound

We are now releasing 
I have to give props to Devil McDoom for hooking me up with The Phobos Peepl from Copenhagen. The righteous space funk of M.Dejean's one man band is adding a new flavor to our sound and is also available on 7". I only found out later that M.Dejean is an old friend of Upskiboo (both used to be members of the Stylus Force crew), another Soul Strut regular turned MPM artist from Scandinavia who I got in touch with through the mighty Raj Mahal. Upskiboo is featured with the cowbell-driven hammond work-out Search Song, taken from his Summer Heat EP. McDoom himself comes with some funked up UFO-ology. What started out as a short skit turned into a little song of it's own and sports all the spooky trademarks tricks the Swedish beat devil is known for. 

While Denmark and Sweden are close to the German border, it is a five hour flight from Cologne to Tel Aviv where Kutiman is playing his multi-coloured afro-beat. Thanks to the interweb it only took me three seconds to check his music and I was more than suprised when I heard No Groove Where I Come From for the first time. I had no idea about what's hot in Israel and to me this is Melting Pot Music in it's truest sense. 

Back in Amsterdam Lefties Soul Connection have enjoyed a real buzz with their Hutspot album. Over the summer the Lefties have played every major festival in the Lowlands and are right now recording their second album. Here, they represent with an unreleased DJ-Edit of their massive cover of DJ Shadow's Organ Donor. 

With The Soul Scapes from North England we are finally adding a British group to the MPM roster and the genius library funk sound of Soul Summer serves as a much needed break before young A-ko takes us to Chicago with the main cut from his 12" of the same name. Last but not least we have Palm Springs' finest DJ Day, the only artist featured with two songs on this LP. Why? Because Day is the man! 
No matter if he is getting busy on the breaks as in Gone Bad or laying down a soul-dripping latin-jazz groover like Lovebug, he just rules.
