Ladies and gents the time has finally come! Kovacs put up his remix collection to soundcloud. We have been waiting for this release for months now. The original Piszkos Jazz is one of the best contemporary jazz influenced release and now such acclaimed producers remixed the tracks as Hugo Kant, Suhov, Renegades Of Jazz and Kisszántó. You have to check this out as soon as you can. If you haven’t heard the originals, give your ears a treat with them also. We are genuinely proud to have such a great producer emerge from our country. Keep on doing what you do Nándor!

…is the title of my latest mix that got very nice compliments from my present heroes in music. I am very grateful for all the listeners and feedback, hopefully I can become even better. This mix is full of classic trip hop / abstract hip hop tracks and artists but you can also hear tunes from producers who quickly became favourites in my book even though I’ve only heard them first this year. The basic idea came when a friend of mine asked if I can recommend tracks or artists that sound like Dig This Vibe by Dj Krush. My first idea for him was Dj Cam‘s Mad Blunted Jazz and then mononome, The Blue Squares and off I went on one of the finest digging trips of my life so far. I had about 1100 tracks to check and you will certainly enjoy the 23 tracks that made it into the mix. Their atmosphere and chilled vibes will probably be a trip for you just like making the mix was for me. Feed your ears!

Although the guy is not even dead, I found someone else with the same atmosphere, skills and sounds after listening to Triffkas. Blossom is a Polish artist represented by Project Mooncircle these days. His LP titled “Blue Balloons” is a work of art. Very rich and complex to say the least with all its strings, beats and bases. If you can overcome the feeling of listening to Bonobo, you will find Blossom in your top ten artists soon enough. Just try it and prove me wrong if you can. (It was free to download a while ago, maybe you can find a link that still has it for free)

…I woke up and realized that the first EP of mononome was not enough. And I think all music addicts felt the same way. Now you can rest a bit easier as the sampling master dropped his second EP at Dusted Wax Kingdom, titled “The Secret Melody”. All the great favourites from his souncloud page are included. He keeps amazing us with dirty lo-fi sounds nobody else can create. Hope he will stay this way Forever… and will not be Wasted.
