The debut album "Matches" from Rapossa features nine Downtempo tracks that mix tarantino style guitar riffs, slow beats, groovy percussions and deep bass lines. File under Slow House, Keta Pop, Organica ;-) I like it!
Here you can listen to the first Single My Rock-N-Roll.

Khruangbin - Con Todo El Mundo
Khruangbin's "Con Todo El Mundo" was the perfect chill Album of 2018 for me. I've listened to these tracks, that sound like a big jam session, dozens of times and they never get boring. For me these tunes are pure feel good music.
Here's some background on the Band:
Globetrotting Texan trio Khruangbin present their second album ‘Con Todo El Mundo’. Formed of Laura Lee on bass, Mark Speer on guitar, and Donald “DJ” Johnson on drums; Khruangbin’s sounds are rooted in the deepest waters of world music infused with classic soul, dub and psychedelia. Their 2015 debut album ‘The Universe Smiles Upon You’ was heavily influenced by 60’s and 70’s Thai cassettes the band listened to on their long car journeys to rehearsal in the Texan countryside. ‘Con Todo El Mundo’ takes inspiration not just from South East Asia but similarly underdiscovered funk and soul of the Mediterranean and the Middle East, particularly Iran.

Tunnelvisions - The Celestial Ritual
Hi everybody, new year, new resolutions and time to reactivate my Blog again. There has been a lot of exciting new releases in the past year, so I'll try to present some of my favorites here.
First of all I would like to recommend to you the 2nd Tunnelvisions Album called "The Celestial Ritual". The two guys from Netherlands manage to mix 80's synth sounds, Afro House Rhythms and Deep 4/4 beats with unique Vocals to create their very own special style.
Here is what the Label Atomnation says about the Album:
The long awaited 2nd album from Tunnelvisions is out now! The album is chopped up into four 12-inch records – Ritual I, II, III, and IV. The album's theme tells of a story told long ago, in a land far away, where there lived 11 chiefs, each named after a corresponding constellation: Mbosa, Nalulu, Ottokar, Imaja, Khan, Kudja, Rafaka, Xoji, Oishi, Mosu and Umai. Each year as the trees lost their leaves and the days got shorter, the chiefs came together to perform a sacred ritual. In this ritual, they honored the gods with their gifts and celebrated the new year to come.
Rafaka's Song is my personal favorite. You can check it out on soundcloud and build your own opinion.

Be Svendsen - Between a Smile and a Tear
Today I would like to recommend to you Be Svendsen's amazing debutalbum "Between a Smile and a Tear".
The in demand Copenhagen DJ releases his first full length album of ‘Tarantino Techno’.
Known and acclaimed for his sets at Fusion, Burning Man as well as relentless touring and for his singles on Crosstown Rebels and All Day I Dream. Percussive grooves and atmospheric key chops set the scene for a car-chase california beach style. Wood organic synths play out gentle grooves, thwacka thwacka bass slapbacks to it’s happy place while phazered solemn vocals play over the top. A sultry lady and a moody man sing hypnotic vocals lines and merge into the sounds.
I love the track "Le Piroguier" that is actually a Remix from an original track by Henri Texier.
