Recently FUSELab / Jumble dropped an amazing debut EP from a young cat Soosh. His self-titled EP has seven deep, mental and yet dreamy tracks, including a remix from Lapalux. Detailed and at the same difficult sound takes you away for an unknown spatial cognition. It’s a beautiful journey, with a lot of colours in it. Available now via Alpha Pup!

Some precious old school flava for you folks till midsummer is here. Have you ever heard about Mecca:83(also known as Rise/REdefinition)? This beat technician (as he calls himself) does really soulful instrumental hip-hop stuff. The guy is from Manchester, and yeah – this site has so much similarities with the legendary beat-sappy Detroit city. “The Life Sketches“ is full of peculiar Dilla-esque sampling, deep vibes and dew-freshness. This delicious EP is already released and you should grab it by naming your price on Solar Sound System Bandcamp.

Nu Soul diva Jill Scott has a gift fully filled with sunlight. Released via Warner Bros. Records, the album „The Light of the Sun“ is really positive and bright. Remember her in „Golden“. Jill Scott is still so naturally simple, quite minimal and powerful simultaneously. Looks like if her music was a painting, it will be all painted in yellow notes. Ok, that’s it. I just highly recommend you this album for all the moments of lifetime.

Abby Lee Tee EP „Stray Cat“, released via Shash Records, could be described as very experimental, eclectic set of foggy music.

Yes yes! Some really fresh and intense sounds we have here for ya today! It’s Cream Child and this guy astonishes me. Who could lay some Persian, oriental or Indian musical textures alongside bold, crushing-down beats? He does it, and he does it with style. “Parasomnia” is Cream Child’s debut LP, and it is hard to say that. This stuff is mature and ritmo sportivo label should be proud of it. Get your copy at ritmo sportivo’s Bandcamp.
