Downtempo syncopation and a loose flowing guitar progression frame the soulful jazz-influenced vocal featured on “Don’t Explain”. Field of Wolves is the new project fronted by London-based Aussie-born singer Holly Bestic, who has no doubt done her history-of-soulful-music homework. There’s so many neat diverse textures and layers to sample here. It’s trip-hop, it’s chill, and it jams, and we’ve got our replay set for “Don’t Explain” this Sunday.

Portland-based husband and wife duo Mint Julep turn in this beautiful subtle version of the Headphones track “I Never Wanted You”. The cover strikes a really nice line between the urgency and tension of the song’s instrumental track and the more withdrawn stylings and delivery of singer Hollie Kenniff. It’s quite the compelling dynamic. Listen.

Dilla being one of the most influential producers of all time, I decided to lay a verse to one of my favorite tracks off of J. Dilla’s Donuts.

“I Do” is one of our favorite hip hop tracks three months ago, two months ago, RIGHT NOW. We’ve still got “I Do” on some serious rotation. So you can imagine we let out a collective b3sci “HELL YES” when we got ears on this alternate version of “I Do” which includes a Drizzy feature. Yeah! That’s a “Friday surprise” we can get behind. Hit that play button.

BK’s Teen Demon are about to deliver you an ass kicking you won’t soon forget. “Not Alone” is loud, percussive, and bruising in all the best ways. The track’s also focused, that’s probably what draws us to it. That energy and rawness, the song’s singular tone, all of that is finely focused. It’s like the viscera of 10,000 focused and spit out through a straw. It’s that focus that makes the track really powerful.

UK D&B journeymen Brookes Brothers put an A+ new spin on Nero’s latest. BB’s production choice has elements of classic D&B in it but it’s certainly not pure to that genre. There’s bit of drumstep, pop, and rock weaved through there too. Top shelf stuff. We are into it. Give it a spin below.

Supposedly, this freshly released Busta-featured version of Labrinth’s massive “Earthquake” track (one of our favorites from last year) is just a piece of a (hopefully) forthcoming mega remix of the track featuring not only Bussa Buss but U.K. vet Kano, the always live Wretch 32, and a new verse from original track featuree Tinie Tempah. That’s cool. For now, we’ve got this Busta only version for y’all to sample. Like we’re not the biggest Busta marks out there but the dude definitely goes in here. Get it, girl.

Inglewood MC Shawn Chrystopher lets loose “One of My Homies”, the first single off his My Name Is Shawn project which is due in July. The excellent “One of My Homies” is built on Shawn’s float-on-top-the-mix flow and a heavy vibe 2 AM (awesome) beat. Ride out to this one.
