Jean Grae – Bridge

A free track by Jean Grae produced by RJD2 released as a preview for the upcoming Year Of The Blacksmith mixtape via 2dopeboyz. I’m looking forward to her solo release next year called “Cake or Death”. The perfect music for these windy and cold days, RJD2 did a good job. Enjoy!

Kan Sano – Elements Of Notice

These days soundcloud seems like a gift straight from heaven or shit, it’s this kind of independent music hub the cultured internet-addicted-mankind waited for…at least I did because seriously, myspace and all that just sucks d§#@ and did so even before soundcloud was established back in 2007. Nuff said.

A guy called Kan Sano. Once again a name I’ve never heard about, as usual. He is based in Japan and if I got it right, he’s not only kind of aware of traditional music and inspired by Japan’s intense music history and culture but also he is giving piano and guitar improvisations concerts. I recommend you to check out his soundcloud page, there are some really nice pieces to be heard. Now the track below is a beautiful track which sounds in a way I can feel from 0:01 to 3:22, enjoy.

Because I really dig his sound, in the following a current remix. He was asking for feedback on that one via twitter most recently so make sure you leave a comment after listening.
