New promo in our mailbox from the 5 piece urban soul & triphop band Si*Sé from NYC. The single from their upcoming Gold EP (out tomorrow) “This Love” gets the remix treatment from Hird.

Eric Lau has a new EP called Kilawatt. The opener features the vocal talent of Muhsinah, another fave, and Oddisee and Kaidi Tatham! Deep jazzy beats!

Our generous friend Ernesto Gonzales from Exponential Music tipped us about their annual freebie compilation for SXSW a few days ago, incl. but not limited to The Heliotronics, Jahcoozi’s Robot Koch, James Pants, Sutekh, Deceptikon, Mochipet, Shlohmo and Ernesto himself.

WFMU recently copped Black Ant’s Free Beats Vol. 3 for Free Music Archive. Short beat sketches from this wild Hollywood, Florida youngin’. He’s quite prolific too, makin’ beats like tomorrow! You can get more beats from his myspace for 5 bux. Support this guy!

Whoa, week 8? Missed a lot in between. Here’s a quick recap of the ones that stick with us: Balmorhea & Machinefabriek exclusive mixes via Fluid Radio. Two from our own Zafer and Cenk Akyol. Turkish episode on the Nahat Radio Show. Mixes from Shlohmo & Nguzunguzu and more.

Really excited about the Gonjasufi debut “A Sufi and a Killer” coming up 8th of March on Warp, in fact haven’t been this excited about an album for a long time, it tastes sweet.

Jonny Trunk is the man behind Trunk Records, home to the amazing Moon Wiring Club and in the general direction of the Ghost Box clique. He has also been the broadcaster of Resonance.fm’s OST for the past 6 years, which is a heaven for all diggers of soundtracks and library music.

Happy birthday dear Muzo B!
