Kenny Dope
Dope Beats Volume 3

Fronted by long-time collaborators Françoise d’Argent and Benny Badge, “So Good To You” showcases an evolution for Silver Linings and the duo's signature Soul-Boogie sound.Bolstered with session work by fellow Melbourne locals Harvey Sutherland (Keys, Drum Programming), Silentjay (Saxophone), Lachlan Peavey (Bass) and ring-ins Automart (Guitar) and Tyson Ballard (Vibraphone), these drafts became an intricate fusion that would see elements of Soul, Jazz and Electro layered with classic R&B arrangements and production etiquette.Describing the result of this unique ensemble can only be done by looking at its highlights. Moments such as “Start It Over” and the brooding “34th Floor” are an ode to UK Electro-Jazz; there’s the Sade-esque “Waiting For Your Love”, whilst “This Time” and “So Good To You” are a nod to Street Soul Legends Loose Ends and 52nd Street among others.

5 track EP from the ever masterful London based DJ/Producer Shy One. Following on from the fuzzy, acidic haze of the vinyl only Crumb Trail 7 inch the new EP - From The Floor To The Booth - encompasses further rich and eclectic sounds of Shy's musical heritage, London leaning from Broken Beat to Soul, Garage to Grime. The record journeys through and abstracts a variety of styles, tipping its cap to the archtectics of Londons musical underground from Soul II Soul and 4Hero to Loose Ends and Roll Deep. A notion every bit apparent in Shy's eclectic bass heavy, hi-energy club selections. The record is Shy One’s most in-depth and ambitious release to date. The artwork is created by Herald Essuman of Artbox London. An incredible London based charity that supports artists with Autism and learning disabilities.
