Onra’s new album drops soon on All-City Records, but until then here is a preview of what to expect. His MySpace has new tracks up too.

Both tracks are taken from the forthcoming Skitz album ‘Sticksman’ – the full version of ‘Struggla’ also features Skibbadee and Kardinal Offishall & is set to be a big tune!! Look out for it on the next installment of Fresh Cuts Radio, dropping in the next couple of days..

This amazing concept is the diploma thesis of Roland Loessiein. ‘Digging in the Crates is an interactive installation which offers possibilities to explore Sampling as a production technology of modern music. While dynamic data visualizations will be navigated using modified turntables, information graphics as well as auditory contributions helping to understand complex contents and relations.’ Check out the homepage here for more info.

Dope track taken from London/Stockholm based soul singer Fatima’s first solo release, ‘Time Travelin’ EP. Production courtesy of man of the moment DaM-FunK.

Great track and the EP is well worth a purchase too. Brand new and out now on digi and wax.

The immensely talented Japanese DJ/producer June Seba aka Nujabes passed away a couple of months ago after being in a car accident. Nujabes is one of my favourite producers with his completely unique sound, amazing gift for sampling & ability to bring out the best in all those he collaborated with. The Hyde Out Productions founder worked with the likes of CYNE, C.L. Smooth, Shing02, Five Deez, Apani B, Funky DL & Substantial. Hyde Out Productions have confirmed that Nujabes has left behind some unreleased recordings which are to be released at some point in the future. Below is my favourite track of his ‘Hikari’ taken from the Modal Soul album featuring Substantial, who played C.L. Smooth to Nujabes’ Pete Rock. This is a true loss to the music world, June Seba rest in peace.
