[MP3] James Baley – Banishment Feat. Twysted Miyake-Mugler

This track is FIYA! RIYL FKA Twigs with shades of James Blake near the end too but was putting me in the mind of fellow Toronto artists, Just John and Dom Dias. Wanna know more? Here’s the official press blurb:

[MP3] Zenesoul – Love and Be Loved Feat. Aaron Ridge

Sunday soul vibes from Brampton, ON’s Zenesoul. As a good friend of ours said on WhatsApp today: “After this year of devastation and isolation, staying in touch is more important than ever. We are clinging onto love and friendships as our lifelines!” Ain’t this song the perfect soundtrack for that sentiment?! FIYA!!!

Nice club banger track by O.G. T.dot rapper, Rochester. Too bad COVID got all the clubs shut down.

[MP3] Listen to DJ Nana Presents… MICRO DOUBLE (Album Stream)

Nice fresh take on boom bap hip-hop from two–time Different Kitchen compilation alum and top Toronto DJ/artist/producer, DJ Nana. Here’s the science:

What’s a MICRO DOUBLE?
A collection of material that is longer than an EP and shorter than an album.

Concept created by the ear2muchcollective’s lead engineer, Ian ‘Project’ Theriault, this compilation features a cast of Toronto talent: I.JAMES.JONES, MC Collizhun, D.O. Gibson, eMDee, ELMNT and Rich Kidd (appears as the only other contributing producer); Mixed and mastered by newcomer Marcus Gapic, 11 of the MICRO DOUBLE’s 12 songs are produced by DJ Nana.

and has the Quincy’s Crate | New Monuments project locked ‘n’ loaded in the chamber ready for a December 7 release. Makes yours a Nana holidaze!
