Our colleague, awesome Strictly Social resident DJ, pixel-pusher extraordinaire and all-around good fella, DJ Myxzlplix has just released an EP of his very own productions. Now Recording is true to the eclectic aesthetic he conveys through his DJ mixes. Downtempo, electronica, funk and dancehall all find their way into the collage. My personal favorite is the track “Miklo” perhaps because it has undertones of Thievery Corporation. Check out the tunes below and find more info about Myxzlplix here and the SpringStrut label at:

The Angel, one of the most versatile producers around, and Jhelisa, an inspired vocalist, come together to create a magical tune that combines progressive soul, downtempo and dub. Atmospheric and soulful, hopefully this collabo will be the first of many. Learn more about the behind-the-scenes of the track at The Angel’s blog.

Beatlife fave Pursuit Grooves put together this free album for y’all in honor of Earth Day (I know, I’m on a permanent late pass)….

*20 downtempo rhythms with titles that focus on the environment and the impact it has around us.

Vanese Smith also known as music producer Pursuit Grooves, received a Holistic Health certificate in 2005 after wanting to learn more about how our daily actions including what we do and how we eat not only affect us as individuals but contribute to the overall welfare of the community. In 2009, there has never been more of an urgency to spread the word about how every action toward sustainable living will slow the process of the negative effects on the future.

The share date for Sustainable Movements for A New Age is timed for April in honor of Earth Day.

So let me get you up to speed on this No Sense dude: he’s from the Netherlands and he makes dope instrumental tracks that are hip-hop based, but also kinda downtempo-y, melancholy at times, and very atmospheric. OK now you know as much about him as I do.

Oh yea, and he has a nice free release available for you to download.
