Different Strains (EP36) - Music for the Sovereign Mind.

This track is an hommage to my favorite and in my opinion the best beatmaker the Netherlands has to offer.. The big homie MOODS! 

The moment i first heard a moods beat i had the feeling i had 2 options.. or stop making beats or step my game up by 10. 
And with every new track i hear of this dude i get that same feeling again.

Your a big inspiration bro..
Love! 

(And a special shout out to Sammy Spencer for the guitar parts!)

Spinning Top Ft. L.A. Mitchell (DJ Alias - Soul Bass Remix)

Expansions

The Healer

SPELL - KENNY AUG 18C

Sola Rosa, the long-running project of New Zealand producer Andrew Spraggon, has never lacked stylistic ambition. Over the past two decades, he's taken an omnivorous approach to genre—soul, R&B, funk, jazz, hip-hop, and the occasional nod to pop—all filtered through a lens that favours polish and warmth over flash. It’s music that feels lived-in rather than lab-engineered.

Since winning Best Electronic Release at the 2001 NZ Music Awards for Solarized, Spraggon has quietly built an international rep. There’ve been remixes from Tall Black Guy, Hermitude and DJ Vadim; sets at Secret Garden Party and Green Man; praise from Rolling Stone, Mojo, and more. Yet he remains a bit of a secret—an underground mainstay rather than a household name.

The 2020 LP Chasing The Sun marked a return after five years and proved there was still plenty left in the tank. Now, 25 years into the Sola Rosa journey, comes New Tomorrows: a taut, considered EP that feels less like a statement and more like a bridge between chapters. The collaborators remain—singers, writers, players from both sides of the Tasman—but there’s a quiet sense of closure. A drawing of breath before something sharper.
That “something” is already coming: a new album lands later this year, with Spraggon stepping further into the foreground. Watch this space.
