Black Is...(Instrumental)

Black Is...(Instrumental) [feat. DSTL, Sareem Poems & Rich Medina]

"As with Danny, House Shoes was my introduction to Quelle. In the same Barham apartment where he introduced me to Danny, Shoes let me hold two CD-R’s over Christmas 2007. The two jewel cases had drawn-on paper sleeves, one of them read Blue Mondays and the other was personalized to Shoes. I was floored. This guy sounded like nobody else. He could do straightforward rappity-rap, introspective and emotional joints and apparently made beats too. 

Life kept moving and one day I got word Quelle had moved to Oakland, about two hours away from where I lived at the time. I reached out and it was like reconnecting with an old friend from high school. We did hoodrat things together on both sides of the Bay Bridge and once in a while he’d play me some rap music. 

I knew I wanted Quelle to be involved with this project and it didn’t take much convincing to get him on board but it did take a minute to settle on the right song. Initially I was going with a lo-fi joint called “Sugar Honey Iced Tea,” which to date it’s still one of my favorite pieces of music Quelle has ever produced. Unfortunately Quelle had an accident in Chicago, where he lived when he cut the track, which lead to the loss of much music, including the track I was hoping to secure. 

We were about to abandon the idea just as Quelle discovered Knxwledge and Dibia$e and began to cut records with them. some of those songs would end up on the first volume of 2Dirt4TV but that was just an aperitif, Quelle actually finished the better part of an LP helmed pretty much entirely by Knx and Dibi. Unfortunately, a series of derailments and delays has kept that album from seeing the light of day but I managed to get Dibia$e and Quelle’s consent to use “Quantize” for this project. I’m very happy I waited because I consider it to be one of the best tracks Quelle’s recorded."

Soulphiction aka Michel Baumann is one of Germany's most respected artists who is also known under the equally successful and iconic alias Jackmate.

A master of both mood and texture, this release showcases the studio wizardry of a true soundsmith. Chunky percussion with shuffling rhythms form the backbone of the grooves, which are fleshed out with intricate melodies and funky basslines that move mind, body and soul.

Like the tracklist of a J Dilla mixtape, this album flows with a purposeful care combined with a storytelling blend of emotions rarely heard in a house music album.

Executed to perfect precision, this album is an instant classic and a must-have for home listening along with a club setting.

This is taken from part one of three EPs that will be released on vinyl & digital format.

Carletta Sue - You Keep Holding Back on Love

Kool and the Gangling. A very short project created by Neon Brown in honor of Ronald Bell formally of Kool and the Gang. Bell passed away on Sept. 9th. Bell was one of the co-founding members of Kool and the Gang. The funk ensemble was highly influential to a handful of genres including, funk, disco, boogie, soul, and hip hop. 

A few days after Bell’s passing, Brown got the idea to create a short album in honor of him and the band. He took the following week to create as much music as he possibly could. Brown created close to 26 minutes’ worth of music, which was cut down to 6.5 minutes. 

The album, “Kool and the Gangling” is available via Bandcamp for free download. However, if you would like to purchase the album, proceeds will go to DSA (Democratic Socialists of America). DSA has been trudging through the tumultuous political landscape of America, making positive change for the better of all. Brown found it only right to add to the fight through the creation of his music.
