So, left the mild but cold Montreal for the beautiful and warmer temperatures of Los Angeles, California. Anthony Valadez picked me up and went straight for the In & Out oignon ring burger… Glad to be back in Cali… now, where’s the sun?

This might be my favorite coconut tree as Madlib & Blu finally dropped their UCLA collaboration somewhere on the internet. It was announced for quite some time, was available and was deleted short time after… Finally it’s back, look for it!

Approaching 500 shows, getting closer… Show#498 starts with one of my favorite artists on One Handed Music, Mo’Kolours has EP2 coming soon, look out for it. Jesse Futerman sent me a new one dedicated to Yusef Lateef I guess ha, a slept on EP for a while but Amp Live ep is definitely banging. Few J Dilla tracks, Jupiter Tuning Center is definitely my cup of tea, an exclusive and probably unfinished Dorian Concept joint I got from him, Neil Cowley Trio is back with a new album, some joints on it are really nice. Ye Mighty sent me their cover of FUSE in a more organic way, no synths anymore just the way I like it, it’s definitely sounding fresh now, Tall Black Guy is in for Al Green, Ron Trent as well, new Burial on Hyperdub and Belgian cats Safi & Spreej. My 2nd hour is dedicated to Belgian artists, from house to french and flemish hiphop to dubstep, beats and afrofunk and soul. It’s all in there. Hope you’ll enjoy the show, don’t hesitate to share it, blog it and reply to it.

Having a great day in sunny and mild Montreal… It’s still cold but definitely not what they’re supposed to endure during this time of the year. I am happy I brought them this mild weather from over the Atlantic. Big up to Lexis and his girlfriend, Lemy Leopard, Scott and Andy doing it big with The Goods here, homie Simahlak and everyone who came down last night, I had a good time.

Another group I’m very much a fan of since 3 Feet High & Rising is De La Soul. Why can’t we just have the track? Instead they give a one minute of Pos’, come on… Production by Dave West and reminds me of an old beat by All City “The Actual”.

I’ve been a fan of Quadron since day one, when they were still in Denmark and before the album got a second release in the US. Love their music, so refreshing…

As you can see we just don’t stop… Of course you know about April 13 celebration at the Vooruit but we added a little extra a couple days later. I really wanted to have Robert Glasper in Belgium, I don’t think he has ever done Belgium as a group before so this would be his first show here and I’m really happy about that.
