Tom Misch

The temperature is rising, the sun is out, and the birds are chirping. It looks like winter is coming to an end. I can’t wait for summer and for those long hot days. Tom Misch’s new single, It Runs Through Me ,  gives off that summer vibe. He will be releasing his new album Geography on April 6th. The new single has this samba and Bossanova-esque vibe,  his smooth vocals get you dreaming about the beach.  The legendary group, De La Soul, features on the new single and still providing those signature raps.  Check out the single below and look out for the album in April.

Mental Abstrato

Brazilian music is one of my favourites, the groove from the Samba rhythms to the smoothness of Bossa Nova just gets me going. I just discovered this Sao Paulo group Mental Abstrato, and they bring the heat. They remix and flip some classic brazilian sounds and bring it up to date with some hiphop elements. The group consists of  the trio OMIG One, Calmão and Guimas Bass. The newest single Mimo, features the dope singer Tássia Reis and her voice is fantastic. Highly Recommended!!!
