Jazzy Things For Spring

Always forward-thinking LA electronic label Plug Research have a new EP from Boom Clap Bachelors titled "Mellem Dine Læber".

BCB features Robin Hannibal of Quadron, Ronnie Vindahl, Thomas Bisballe, and David Cytryn; with additional vocal contributions from Coco O of Quadron and Liv Lykke and will groove anyone into SA-RA, Bonobo, Josee or Mark de Clive-Lowe's productions. It's mellow future soul with an edge – think daydream, not dead asleep.

And definitely do not sleep on London's afro-future project Owiny Sigoma Band. Who are they? 

A London-based music collective that traveled to Kenya in '09 to collaborate with local musicians in Nairobi. A jam session with drummer Charles Owoko and nyatiti player Joseph Nyamungu developed into a unique UK beats-meets-African-rhythms-and-vocals combo with an emphasis on authenticity. 

Listen to Owiny Sigoma Band "Wires (Theo Parrish Remix)"  The album is out now on Gilles Peterson's Brownswood label. 

Also, be on the lookout for the latest Browswood comp, Brownswood Electr*c 2, which can be streamed here!
