Hello,
our first gig in Washington D.C. was at the W Hotel with the Frank Mitchell Jr Band. Had a fun time playing at this high class place with a nice view on the White House. We spent the night there and enjoyed their king size bed!

Hello,
we just wanted to give a quick shout out and present you one of our latest interviews. If you would like to know what inspired us to make “Into Bass And Time”, then take 10 minutes and share it if you like. We would appreciate your support!
Love & respect,

Hey world,
today we are proud to announce the release of our “Worldwide EP” (ESL 171) through ESL Music. This EP is the first release of our upcoming album “Into Bass And Time” (ESL 172) that will be out on March 8 in the USA and April 8 in Europe.
The EP starts with title track “Worldwide” which is a sampladelic block party anthem that features Oakland based DJ Zeph on cuts and it is dedicated to all original beat headz worldwide. Then we have “Eternal Searching” with DC native W. Ellington Felton on vocal duties who kicks it with some timeless conscious rhymes who are backed by outstanding live strings from UK string ensemble Entropik. And last but definitely not least is our song “Fear Is The Only Darkness” who gives you some downtempo dopebeat goodness in order to overcome your fear and strengthen your soul.

Dear beat headz,
just returned from a successful Midem Music Conference in Cannes/France. We had beautiful sunshine but it was very cold in this famous town at the Cote d´Azur. Midem seems to attract less and less customers the past years but still it is a good source for meeting the some of the real headz in the international music business. Of course we are talking about international indie business here.
Big Ups to Thomas Colinet and his legendary Sun7 Café (we will miss this place, only cool spot in Cannes), Finetunes, Tru Thoughts, Lizzy Parks, Kid Hops, Ninja Tune, Freddie Cruger & Anthony Mills aka Wildcookie, Kudos Records, ADA Global, Initiative Musik, Rights Flow, Inertia, ST2 Records, Outpost Media, Ping Pong Promotion, Soul Seduction and all those I forgot. It´s all you guys that are doing good things and that made this trip to Cannes a very special one again. Keep on doing what you are doing. Conscious and intelligent indie business is what makes this world a better place.
To start, we would like to share a song with you. “Worldwide” from our upcoming album “Into Bass And Time“.
Peace, Love & Respect !!!
