El Rego - Feeling You Got (Whiskey Barons Rework)

Speaking of the Whiskey Barons, this rework of El Rego is feeling really right on a sunny Friday afternoon. The Barons have been kind enough to offer a free download of this funky gem. Check it here…

Idan K & The Movement of Rhythm

You might recognize Idan K & The Movement of Rhythm from some of our live mixes. I met Idan I think in 2007 in Tel Aviv and he gave me a cd of some of his unreleased joints, which haven’t left my play crate since. I helped him shop his then unreleased LP around a bit to the limited label connects I had, but, to my surprise, no one bit. Eventually it did come out on very small independent label whose name is escaping me, but, as far as I could tell, it wasn’t really promoted. I’m not sure what happened — it’s not on the big digital retail sites anymore—  but you can still cop it direct from the Idan K & The Movement of Rhythm bandcamp page. Go get em!

And check them crushing it live in Israel!

Very psyched to rock the spot this Friday at U Street Music Hall with the good homie and long-time Sol Power supporter, Joe L. Did I mention that Hermon Farahi will be back in town to rock with us?

See you on the dance floor! #house

Afrolicious - Never Let No One

Afrolicious, the DJ duo/music collective, are probably best known for their weekly party at the Elbo Room in San Francisco. I’d be willing to bet that pretty soon they may be better known for their production. Last year they released a solid EP on ESL Music, and they’re coming back with an afro house jam called “Never Let No One,” a thumping original production featuring the vocal stylings of Fresh is Life, from Trinidad. Check the tune below, and if you’re passing through SF on a Thursday, do yourself a favor and check out Afrolicious live.
