Critical Rythm - It Could Not Happen
Another deep Nu Groove stunner. Both How Many Times and It Could Not Happen is featured on Nu Groove comp Nu Groove - Here Comes That Sound Again. (dl)
SELA - Melidezuichun
Found SELA through a post on Coyote Clean Up’s fb wall. Classic downtempo, not the sub-bass post-dubstep or the experimental glitchy kind. Mellow soundcscapes framed by modest yet eloquent beats and fluffy clouds of jazz. His latest release is a spoken word album, not beatnik poetry or rap, rather just recited reflections. I like the vibe.
Melidezuichun comes from SmackDaHoe, released in december. it’s on SELAs Bandcamp.
Friendzone - Moments (Part 1)
A gorgeous solo piano piece and a display of the vividness and scope of SF cloud rap duo Friendzone. (via)
Labyrinth Ear - Humble Bones (Giraffage Remix)
The right balance between beautiful and experimental. No glitch. (dl)
Sorrow - Approaching Farewell (Stumbleine Remix)
Looking forward to this as soundtrack to an emotional scene - sad but filled with hope - in a good-hearted and moderately ridiculous tv-series like say, A Gifted Man. Someone just died at Clinica Sanando; slow motion, relatives crying, concerned bystanders, Doctors Holt and Sykora bow down their heads, refusing to accept they have lost a patient, it’s obvious they are really nice & compassionate people as well as highly skilled professionals.

Hip Hop Spa
The refreshing feeling when someone comes up with a new blend based on familiar ingredients.
