Switzerland’s multi-instrumentalist, composer, producer, remixer and all round creative Soul Luman Child blessed last weeks Meltdown show with his killer “Summer Soul” cut featuring Chief and taken from his upcoming project due out 2012. His love of all things soul, jazz, hip-hop, funk and soulful-house most definitely come through in his music and if his current promo single is anything to go by, i’m more than excited about his album dropping next year! Luman is currently busy working with live bands and gaining studio experience, as well as collaborating with artists like Gwen McCrae, Skymark, MAQman, Deva Mahal, James Higgins, Chief-Beatmaker and The Black Style Mood amongst others. It’s goes without saying he has our full support here!

“From the vaults of the underground comes a never before heard tale from Chicago’s Greatest Street Poet, Common“. That was the message Dion Steele, who illustrated the video and also produced the killer beats, wrote when he posted it to his YouTube channel. The previously unreleased track he found down the back of his sofa appeared on the web last week. Well at least it’s something to keep us going until his new album release, “The Dreamer,The Believer” drops in December, and im not complaining either, “Let’s Move” is classic Common material!

DJ Jazzy Jeff and Ayah today released the new video for “Forgive Me Love,” a single from their highly regarded Back for More project. The video, directed by Toronto’s Slakah the Beatchild is beautifully executed with a thought provoking twist. Viewers will be left reflecting on the very real situations in this cautionary portrayal. It is a raw and honest production that drives home the timeless message that things are not always what they seem.
