Leif Knowles - Dinas Oleu (Album)

If it took this guy 10 years in the music business to finally

drop an album, that shit better be bonkers. Luckily, this 

deep house beauty is worth the wait. 

DJ/Producer Leif Knowles has crafted a lush majestic journey

with 'Dinas Oleu' out now via Fear of Flying. This

is house music littered with orchestral flourishes, 

natural sounds, reverb, oddly rooted in ambient

downtempo chillout.

The engineering/production through out is a marvel.

It's not every time a mix just breathes like this.

Jai Paul - Jai Paul (Album Stream)

While it was Drake that first drew my attention to Jai Paul with

his 'BTSTU' sampling 'Dreams Money Can Buy', the man's work 

speaks for itself. Finally after years of single-track-release dick teases,

we have a complete body of work to be moist over.

Whether this is his official album is unclear since XL Recordings

- his label - has not acknowledged this collection of songs. What is 

is clear is this guy is some kind of modern day blunted alternate
universe version of Prince. And don't let 'blunted' fool you into thinking that
he does not possess the most sublime of production touches.

Au contraire, mon cheri.
