Stop what you’re doing. Howe Gelb has an album on Bandcamp. It’s less than the price of a cup of coffee. Go download it.
Well?

What do you mean “who’s Howe Gelb?”

Wow. This is very exciting.
I used to have one track of the Harlem Youth Percussion Group on a compilation somewhere – but the original, rare 1969 album (originally on ESP) has been reissued and released on Bandcamp – on clear vinyl, no less. This is amazing. What a find.
Check out track 5 – Welcome to the Party. If this doesn’t convince you to buy this record, I’m not really sure we can be friends anymore.

Really loving the sound of this socially conscious hip-hop / soul / jazz crossover release from Canadian label Urbnet, whose extensive catalogue on Bandcamp is full of fantastic releases.
The taster track that we get to hear is a chilled, stretched-out groove – so that’s an automatic win for me. That said, I’m going to wait until after the release date (28th of May) to hear a few more tracks before I drop $20 on the vinyl, but I have a good feeling about this one…

The strange sounds that come from Scottish/Burmese vocalist and electronic musician Fiona Soe Paing, so disorientating on first listen, settle quickly into a deep, heavy, head-nodding groove. Wonderful, unsettling and incredibly seductive stuff.
Give it two listens.

An amazing discovery via Gilles Peterson’s Bandcamp Fan Page, which is a great place to go looking for new and interesting stuff.
Pretty much does what it says on the tin. Late 70s African electronica. This will improve your day. The double vinyl is very tempting…
