Junk33 - The Equinox (2021)
Order Cassette: funkypselicave.bandcamp.com
We're living in times where our feelings tend to resemble a rollercoaster. Once you are on the bright side having hope and knowing that you'll make it work eventually. The next minute you're on your dark side where melancholy fills your body and nothing is certain.
Listening to "The Equinox" is a nostalgic trip from present to past, from dawn to dusk and vice versa.
The 90's aesthetics are strong in this one with dusty drums, crunchy jazzy samples and funky cuts!
In other words, the golden era ain't finished!
Listen, wander and enjoy!

Twit One - Objets Trouvés (2021)
Order Vinyl: twitone.bandcamp.com
Objets Trouvés [ɔbʒɛ tʁuve]
1 - an object found by an artist and displayed with no, or minimal, alteration as a work of art.
2 - an album by Twit One with 16 songs that draw inspiration and sounds from different paths of life and music. The elusive guest list includes Reginald Omas Mamode IV from London, Kurt Wagner (Lambchop) from Nashville and Cologne-based artists Keshavara and Imam Ally Salaam.
„Objets Trouvés“ is Twit One's third solo album on Melting Pot Music. If we count in his projects with Hulk Hodn (as Testiculo Y Uno), Summers Sons (as Syrup), Lazy Jones (as Flatpocket), Count Bass D and Fleur Earth, we are looking at 10+ LPs (LP stands for longplayer and we emphasize on this because we release every Twit One album on vinyl).

Delightfull & Cutler - Bridging the Gap (2021)
Order CD: djdelightfull.bandcamp.com
Released digitally also via Amsterdam's own Find Mag:
The gaps we bridge
We've compiled music that's firmly grounded in what has been done before but is courageously looking toward the future at the same time. There are joints by official heavy hitters, by elusive underground cats as well as by up-and-coming artists. On "side B" we've criss-crossed between genres.
We're on two sides of the Atlantic. We're from different generations. One of us has left his battle years behind, the other is just beginning. One has a dozen releases behind his back, the other is yet to be heard and released. One of us prefers to work purely analog, the other prefers to utilise digital technology.
Both of us have a similar vision of what good music is. Music can bridge gaps between people and that is an important reminder in a painfully divided world.
Mastered by Devaloop.
Intro beat produced by Tone from Pseudo Intellectuals.
