2011-01-01T11:42:00.000-08:00

In keeping with every New Year I decided to make a few New Years Resolutions. One of those resolutions being that I would try and post on this blog a bit more. So in an effort to do this I thought I'd try and share with you a daily dose of some of the music I am listening to. Expect some old, some new, some funky and some blue.............

And one more for luck.....

2010-10-24T01:27:00.000-07:00

A Trio of Treats

2009-10-18T14:35:00.000-07:00

It's Sunday Night again and I totally have that 'shit it is Monday tomorrow' feeling. So to try and cheer myself up a bit thought I would post a trio of my favourite tracks from the last couple of months.

To Start things of we have the excellent Motor City Drum Ensemble with Raw Cuts #6.

Joy Orbison is definately the man of the moment his Jose jame remix is out later this month and it has been getting seriously bigged up. This is another absolute 'barn stormer' called Hyph Mngo.

And to round things off we have Massive MiLK favourites Floating Points and the sublime 'Vacuum Boogie'.

Quantic and his Combo Barbaro

2009-10-15T13:43:00.000-07:00

One of my records of the year has definately been Quantic and his Combo Barbaro's ‘Tradition In Transition’ release through the every excellent Tru Thoughts.

In 2007 Will ‘Quantic’ Holland moved to Cali in Colombia to pursue his passion for both unearthing lost treasures from Colombia’s musical past and making new music with the golden array of talent available. Holland assembled his Combo Bárbaro (literally translating as ‘group of barbarians or people from outside Europe’)and with this record created a multi-cultural patchwork, a record bathed but not exclusively rooted in Colombian musical culture but embracing the musical range of all the American continent.

This is the video for my favourite track on the album 'Un Canto A Mi Tierra'which features folklore singer Nidia Gongora and is shot on location in her home village of Timbiqui in Colombia.

Zed Bias - Neighbourhood 2009

2009-10-12T15:05:00.000-07:00

Zed Bias has given his most recognisable tune the 2009 make over. 'Neighbourhood 09' is out now and features Nicky Prince and MC Rumpus. Watch out for a cheeky Gilles Peterson cameo in the video.

Digable Planets presents 'Sounds from the 7th Dimension' mixed by DJ Alex J

2009-10-12T11:57:00.000-07:00

Having spent my days at school during the 'Golden age' of hip-hop, I spent most of those years mainly listening to some of the great Hip-Hop of that time. Although my musical tastes may have grown I still frequently drop regular little Hip-Hop gems in my DJ sets, as you can probably notice from the Podcasts on this Blog.

The Digable Planets fused Hip-Hop and Jazz music and their 1993 debut Reachin' (A New Refutation of Time and Space) is still a favourite of mine now! They are composed of Butterfly, Doodlebug, Ladybug and were backed by Silkworm, who later became King Britt. After their second album 'Blowout Comb' was released in 1994 the group soon split up and stayed that way until in 2005 when they embarked on a reunion tour.

Here is a new Digable Planet's mixtape entitled "Sounds of the 7th Dimension" mixed by DJ Alex J which is to promote Digable Planet's new tour that kicks off this week in the US.

New Kero One Album out this Week!!

2009-04-05T23:22:00.000-07:00

From the moment I heard the opening piano rift on 2006's 'In all the wrong places' I was hooked. Rushing out I had to get a copy of the album and 'Windmils of the soul'didn't disappoint.

This week Kero's second album 'Early believers'is out, and from I have heard, it definately sounds like it is gonna be a soundtrack for my summer. Featuring Ohmega Watts and MiLK favourite Ben Westbeech you can listen to tracks off the album on Kero's Myspace page.

Here is the offical video to the open track off the album 'Welcome to the Bay'. Enjoy!!!

Introducing Vulavision

2009-03-27T02:03:00.000-07:00

MiLK favourite Vula has just launched her very own channel page on Vulavision on YouTube.

Vula has dropped her solo E.P. "If You Want It" released on her own label "DivaGeek Records" and we here at MiLK absolutely love it. As featured on our January Podcast, the EP is available to buy from iTunes. Visit her Myspace page for details

Q-Tip @ Knitting Factory

2009-03-26T14:07:00.000-07:00

One of my favourite Hip Hop Albums of last year was definately Q-Tip's 'The Renaissance'. Having grown up listening to A Tribe Called Quest I have always been a fan of his rhyming style. The new album was definately worth the long wait since his last LP 1999's Amplified. This video has my favourite tune from the album 'Gettin' Up' backed with 'Vivrant Thing' from his debut.

Counting down the days.....

Worldwide festival 2008 "the aftermath" from Morzy on Vimeo.

A Little bit more we like.............

2009-03-19T13:16:00.000-07:00

A big favourite of ours at the moment Mr Dorian Concept, here performing live on FM4 Soundpark Studio 2 Session in Austria. There are two tracks here the first 'Past 2' with Dorian showing off his classical piano skills. The second 'two hour power' shows Dorian doing what he does best playing the synthesizer like no one else.

If you don't have it already get you're self a copy of his LP 'When planets collide'. For a taster check out episode 3 of the MiLK Sessions Podcast where you'll find own of our favourites 'The fucking formula'.
