NPR Music First Listen: Miguel – Kaleidoscope Dream [FULL Album Stream Preview]

Check out the new Miguel – Kaleidoscope Dreams album on NPR Music’s First Listen, fantastic! Recommended if you dig Frank Ocean‘s Channel Orange. Some amazing music coming out this year so far. Don’t wanna hear any of that old man carping about how music isn’t as good nowadays as in the past.

[MP3] Listen to the new Rochelle Jordan – Pressure album in FULL (stream)

New soul talent coming out of the T.dot. Don’t sleep ‘cos you don’t know the name (yet!). This is hot, in the realm (roughly) of The Weeknd, Frank Ocean and Miguel to use some reference points of some like-minded (and sounding) artists that might get your attention. Seriously, check this out. And if you dig, go check out some of her prior releases on her Bandcamp.

[Audio] The bbe Laid Back Mix Series pres. the Boddhi Satva – Africa Mixtape

This is nice! Peep the science here:

Hailing from Central African Republic, Boddhi Satva vowed early in his career to make a statement through a signature sound of his own. Ancestral Soul was born.

Boddhi’s debut album INVOCATION is available now on BBE Records, after it was released in Africa in 2011 by Vega Records, the label of the legendary Louie Vega. Louie hand-picked Boddhi in 2008 to be an elite producer for Vega Records and resident of Vega DJ tours. INVOCATION confirms the solid place that Boddhi established for himself in the house music landscape.
