Count Bass D and DJ Pocket - In the Loop

Just checked my email today, and was pleasantly suprised to find this link:

In the Loop

As with anything the Count does, it's dope

"This album is a collaborative effort by Count Bass D and his long time friend DJ Pocket, who has recently decided to add MCing to his list of musical endeavors. Both Count and Pocket are Djays & producers but, they chose to let their selections do the walking on this LP. "In The Loop" is one of many albums that are set to be released between the two of them, as they pride themselves on "ACTIVITY" being their motto in 2010."

Ota Presents: The Mixtape of Deadly Soul Vol.1

So just trawling through my facebook and came across a couple of very worthy drops. First up is this mix from Ota...
I made this mixtape before embarking on the new Opensouls album – “Standing in the Rain” It covers a large range of 50’s, 60’s, 70’s soul and I used it as a reference for recording instrumentation and vocals.
Shouts to Parks for the tipoff

Paul's Ark - Morris Wilson Beau Bailey Quintet

So continuing on with the Sunday Jazz sessions (I believe you only lasted one week Mr Dastardly, where you at?).

Beautiful music for yo es-oh-you-el.
