Fact Magazin:The young Turkish singer, full name Ahu Kelesoglu, has already built up quite a reputation for her collaborations with Flying Lotus, Mr Beatnick and others – it was she, under the name Dolly, who contributed the sublime, dusky vocal to Flying Lotus’s ‘Robertaflack’. Increasingly focussing on solo work inspired by house, techno, the golden age of jazz singers, European movie soundtracks and much else besides, we reckon Ahu’s really going to be one to watch in the months and years that lie ahead. We took the opportunity to ask her a few questions, and she reciprocated not only with some informative answers but with an exclusive mixtape for FACT as well. A wonderful audio tour of our girl’s formative influences and current interests alike, it includes music from Brigitte Bardot, Daedalus and Matthew Herbert, not to mention two unreleased tracks by Portishead’s Beth Gibbons. Listen, read and enjoy.
BTS Radio:Manic when it comes to new creation, I was handed three CDs with over 150 beats the first time I met Paul White. His output has been at dizzying levels for years, it's hard to imagine the number of archives he's stored away.White is hip-hop through and through. He respects the art and captures the elements of what you loved about the genre from the start. His sample sources lean towards psychedelics, experimental jazz and rock, giving it a more distinct sound than most hip-hop beat makers. His latest project, "Paul White and The Purple Brain", is an album made up entirely from work of little-known Swedish psych-rock guru S.T. Mikael. The combination goes hand in hand and where White is most comfortable creatively. Taking drug-fueled sound and rinsing it through the MPC.Paul White's "Paul White and The Purple Brain" is out now on Now-Again/One-Handed Music.
This sounds very much like a 50cent kinda tune, but I was anxious to hear some new Mic G material when I saw this video also featuring Royal Flush. Just these two names makes it worth a listen in my opinion. When I posted the video I asked if Mic Geronimo was ever two produce another album. Well it`s not a whole album, but an EP and it`s already out. You can find it on Itunes.

"I started listening to reggae back in the late seventies courtesy of a dread who lived on my street and used to blast his music while washing his old school BMW every sunday. Thirties years later I'm still collecting reggae and just love the whole physical aspect of 45's. All cracks, pops and crackles free courtesy of an original 45 selection. From deep East London to your speaker stack. Charlie Dark in the mix. Enjoy"
