Review: FloFilz - Dim Down EP (Melting Pot Music)

Berlin jazz-beat producer FloFilz continues his streak of high profile collaborations with leading voices from the UK soul, hip-hop & jazz crossover scene. 

‘Dim Down EP', continues his association with UK trenders Alfa Mist, Summers Sons, Blu  Lab Beats and Lord Apex this time with Kofi Stone, Jerome Thomas, Kojey Radical, Raelle ('Peace Of Mind' current favourite on the YATM jukebox) and Matt Wilde.

And if you want some hot buttered soul to go with your 'Ohio Players' artwork inspired hip-hop, check 'Butter' (the one that features Jerome Thomas and Kojey Radical); hot and sticker than peanut butter jams.

Perfect jazzy hip-hop on Melting Pot Music with classy artwork too!

Review: Matt Wilde - It's A Delight EP (DeepMatter Records)

This is Mancunian jazz in the footsteps of Dilla/Glasper where his debut album 'Hello World' caught the ear of BBC 6 Music friendly with fans including the main DJs Gilles Peterson, Deb Grant/Tom Ravenscroft, Huey Morgan amongst many more.

Wilde has already been involved in Peterson's Brownswood Basement 'academy' and it shows in this new 6 track EP as it also feautres other Mancunian alt-soul artist [ K S R ] (who you'll recall from the Searchlight track 'We Could Be More' (see review HERE) and trumpet player Aaron Wood (who stands out on 'Good Things Happen').

The instrumentals are as stand out as the vocal tracks and he's definitely more of a Robert Glasper pianist than say, a Jamie Cullen; there's even some Robert Mitchell classiness too on the title track and 'Timekeepers'.

On the heals of Myele Manzanza's 'Homesick' - the Marble SunTh Remix (see review HERE), Matt Wilde is another name to watch out for in the beats vs. jazz vs. soul as fans of golden era Dwele/Roy Hargrove and lots more folks are going to love this.
