The Headspace mixtape series is a collaboration of minds between the Basement Sessions podcasts and online Hip Hop community and the Hip Hop Hype Dog blog alongside UK Hip Hop Mixtapes.

The idea of Headspace was to create a project that mixes well known names with up and coming talent. All of the artists involved represent the positive and united UK Hip Hop scene that both Basement Sessions and Hype Dog are working towards.

Big shout out to Hype Dog & co. for their relentless support of everything we’re doing here & for the English hip-hop community in general. This is one dope collection of UK tracks that represents many of the best artists doing it right now on these shores – cop dat shit!!

Eric Lau – Kilowatt V2 [Preview]

February 2nd, 2010

Posted by Nickname

Kilowatt V2” is the second of three releases from Kilowatt Music’s producer series, and V2 sees Eric Lau bring the heat. Expect 2 vocal tracks, 2 interlude tracks and 2 intrumentals. Featuring Oddisee and Muhsinah, Eric continues to cement his role as one of the best soulful beat makers around at the moment. This is a great way to follow the stupidly dope New Territories LP, I can’t fault this one bit.

Snippets in the widget below, expect to see this in stores on 7 Inch and CD on March 1 2010.

Sharon Jones & The Dap-kings – I Learned the Hard Way [Download]

February 1st, 2010

Posted by Nickname

The crazy cartoon charactor that is Sharon Jones and her group the mighty Dapkings (best known for their work with Amy Winehouse and Mark Ronson)bless us again this year with their 4th long player. “I Learned the Hard Way” comes into stores on April 6 and damn it sounds good!

For a taste of what’s to come, Daptone Records have kindly provided the album’s title track for download.

Download: Sharon Jones & The Dapkings – I Learned the Hard Way

More info:
Produced by Bosco Mann and recorded on an Ampex eight-track tape machine by Gabriel Roth in Daptone Records’ House of Soul studios, this record drips with a warmth and spontaneity rarely found since the golden days of Muscle Shoals and Stax. Sharon’s raw power, rhythmic swagger, moaning soulfulness, and melodic command set her firmly alongside Tina Turner, James Brown, Mavis Staples, and Aretha as a fixture in the canon of soul music. From the lushPhilly-Soul fanfare that ushers in “The Game Gets Old” at the top of the record, to the stripped down Sam Cooke-style“Mama Don’t Like My Man” at the tail, the Dap-Kings dance seamlessly through both the most crafted and simple arrangements with subtlety and discipline. I Learned the Hard Way is the “Daptone Sound” at its finest.
