DON’T SLEEP: Soulection x SEANO “Soulection Radio Show #82” [MIX]

JOEKAY & SEANO played an epic ass show that ran 4 hours long playing jawns from Sango, Haydn, JuSoul, Sunclef, Bahwee, Elaquent, The Detroit Experiment, Y Society, Aloe Blacc, Take (Sweatson Klank) and so much more. Go here to hear “Soulection Radio Show #82” since Mixcloud won’t embed on PIK for whatever reason. Don’t sleep!

DON’T SLEEP: HW&W x Elaquent “Live At The Trap House” [BEAT VIDEO/MINI DOCUMENTARY]

“Live At The Trap House” is a new ongoing video series HW&W has just premiered. Elaquent has his Roland SP (404 or 505) and is getting busier than minority parent with several mouths to feed at home in the late 60’s. Don’t sleep…

DON’T SLEEP: Kings “Endless Fog EP” [BEAT TAPE]

I stumbled across this Soulection release while trying to find a way to write my latest Tumblr post from my iPhone. In my Tumblr feed was a post from Soulection about a new release from someone named Kings. I clicked the album cover and it began playing, needless to say I reached for some damb headphones and less than 20 minutes later it led to me making this post about the “Endless Fog EP” on PIK @ 6 AM EST. When I say “Don’t sleep”, I fucking mean it. Enjoy…

For reasons I’ve yet to determine Mixcloud won’t embed on PIK so here is the direct link to Soulection Radio Show #79. Don’t sleep…

I took yesterday off to decompress from a whirlwind week but I’m back at it with the newest Soulection release, Sango‘s “Trust Me EP”. If you’ve been sleeping on Sango up until now then not only is this your wake up call but it’ll serve as No Doz for the rest of your music listening existence. Don’t sleep…

Here’s the long awaited Soulection instrumental project from Insightful called “Luck & Love”. I would expound on it more but I just wrote a long ass piece on Bastard Swordsman & I have a gang of kids over at the crib. It’s dope, just take my word for it. Don’t sleep!

DON’T SLEEP: Insightful “Dramatic Entrance” (prod. by Insightful) [SINGLE]

It’s 4 AM on a Sunday morning so I decide to she what’s up with my SoundCloud stream so I can plan some posts when the sun comes up on Producers I Know. Lo and behold, I see a new beat posted 4 hours ago from Insightful with Soulection cover art on it that says “Luck & Love” on it. I think to myself that there’s NO way Soulection posted a new album at midnight without advance notice. I hit up the Soulection Bandcamp and see this is the lead single and “Luck & Love” drops on December 27th. Whew! If I can find it, I’ll post the SoundCloud embed too. Don’t sleep!

One.


DON’T SLEEP: Evil Needle “Mood” [INSTRUMENTAL PROJECT]

Soulection’s last project by BMB AKA SpaceKid AKA WayneTweed was incredible. As was the one before that by AbJo. This one is called “Mood” and it’s by Evil Needle. The very same Evil Needle that dropped the mind blowing instrumental project “Cirrostratus” from earlier this year. “Mood” is no different, don’t sleep…

One.


DON’T SLEEP: BMB AKA Space Kid “The Sound Of Tomorrow” [INSTRUMENTAL PROJECT]

I was waiting for the new BMB AKA Space Kid Soulection project to hit their Bandcamp for a while before it hit me they were based on the West Coast & it won’t be up @ Midnight EST. In any event, this 19 blap opus “The Sound Of Tomorrow” is aptly named. If you thought the slaps he was posting on his Bandcamp earlier this year then wait until you hear this. DON’T SLEEP!

One.


DON’T SLEEP: AbJo “Love It Will Be” (prod. by AbJo) [INSTRUMENTAL]

This haunting slap was recently uploaded to AbJo’s Soundcloud, which I just decided to check out after watching this video off his Vimeo account for “To Reflect Eternal…” he linked to on Twitter earlier today. I’m glad I did, too. DON’T SLEEP!

DON’T SLEEP: BMB AKA Spacekid “The Sound Of Tomorrow” [TEASER MIX]

BMB AKA Spacekid has been on my radar for the longest and the last Soulection project “Sankofa EP” by AbJo is still very much in my rotation. When I got word from Hypedog that there was a new project coming I was like WHAAAAAAAAAAAT? © Stewie Griffin. I checked out the Soundcloud to see and hear this ridiculous teaser mix of the upcoming project that’ll hit the Soulection Bandcamp like Hurricane Tempestt Bledsoe on September 27th, 2011. DON’T SLEEP!
