Gil Scott-Heron : 1. The Bottle 2. I'll Take Care Of You 3. I'm New Here
Gil Scott-Heron is rated as one of the most important pioneers of Hip-Hop and Rap Music as he often used the spoken word as his stylistic device but also facing political and social problems in his songs.He worked as a musician but also as a poet. Heron had his first commercial success in the 70s which continued until the late 80s. After being dropped by his record label he continued touring on his own. "In 1993, he signed to TVT Records and released Spirits, an album that included the seminal track "'Message to the Messengers". The first track on the album criticized the rap artists of the day."* In 2001 he was sentenced jailtime for drug possession which shouldn't be the last one as he was arrested again in 2006. He was released one year later as the jail's clinic couldn't take care of his HIV disease which hadn't been public yet. As I posted in one of my really first Posts he worked with Jamie xx (you might know him from The XX) and released his last album "We're new here" in February 2011. Three months later he died in a New York hospital.
It is really worth checking out his great work !
Have a nice sunday and enjoy

Baba Zula & Mad Professor - Istanbul Çocukları (Children Of Istanbul) (Dub)
This is my favourite song of Baba Zula from their album Duble Oryantal.
They are a alternative music group found in Istanbul, Turkey.
I don't know too much about them but really enjoy their quite unique way of bringing together different styles like the traditional turkish music with dub and electronic parts.

Hird - Keep You Kimi
This is a coorperation of the swedish electro-jazz musician Hird and Yukimi Nagano, both from Gothenburg.
As I don't know too much about Hird there is more to tell about Yukimi. She was born in Sweden having Japanese and American backround. She is the vocalist of the band Little Dragon which is really worth checking out. She also works with the nu jazz duo Koop or folk singer José Gonzáles (also from Gothenburg). You could also find her on Gorillaz' 2010 Album Plastic Beach.

Uner - Cocoua
Uner is one of the most important names of the new generation of Spanish electronic music producers. His musical training allowed him to develop at a very early age a different dance music concept, based on the pleasure for harmony and the search for a unique, personal sound.
This track is from his latest EP Palua which he edited for the label Cadenza.
