The Soul Rebels

(From their website) Imagine blending the sounds of Mardi Gras funk, soft rock, and reggae so seemingly it defies category. Now shrink that idea into a seven-piece ensemble, add a hip hop sensibility plus a hundred years of New Orleans jazz tradition, and you get the Louisiana sound known as the Soul Rebels. This shrewd crew of college trained multi-instrumentalists are forcing listeners to "Let Your Mind Be Free" as they "Work It Out" on the dance floor. Their music is utterly uplifting and hardcore, leaving fans with a myriad of intrinsic sounds and songs to enjoy.

Dudley Perkins

As a vocal muse for Madlib’s creations, Dudley is unmatched; he’s earned first pick at Madlib’s prized beat collections. Just like Madvillain or Quasimoto, the Dudley/Madlib combination is a facet unto its own – on par with the most illustrious collaboration projects in Madlib’s catalog. His dynamic sophomore effort, entitled Expressions (2012 A.U.), takes an extended detour in the direction of Parliament’s Mothership Connection. The funk is strong this time around – as is the soul music that brought tears to the eyes of Dudley’s and Madlib’s aunts and uncles back in the golden days.

Blunted Stuntman

English born, he has strove to push the new beats in South Africa, obvious by his recent set at the Oppikoppi Music Festival. Blunted has played there for 13 years and it was a blast of ghetto funk with old African vocal samples flowing through the basslines of the dub side of the current UK Funky hype. Blunted Stuntman's debut mix CD has been released and features a 2CD collection of South African and International Breakbeats. 'Breakin' ZA' features Blunted Stuntman's own productions "Portraits in Sound" and "This Is My Life" and you'll probaby be able to hear them right here!
