Pete Philly released a free track every monday for 14 weeks now. With Christmas behind our backs, his Open Loops project has come to an end as well. For your pleasure we put all the tracks in one zip-file, so you can download all tracks at the same time instead of a bunch seperate MP3s.

Don't judge this as a copy of what Kanye West did with G.O.O.D. Music every friday, because this is better music. And if you are not yet familiar with Pete Philly, then definitely check out the album Mindstate he did together with Perquisite; still one of the best jazz-orientated hip hop albums from Holland.

Happy Xmas!

On behalf of the entire MS crew: Happy Christmas to all of you!! Or in case you don't celebrate it, then have a good time in your holidays!



And a post on MS without downloads is no post, so check this Free MP3 Christmas Edition for free downloads related to Xmas. Free music by K-Murdock (of Panacea), Paul White, Mar, Suff Daddy, Chrisfader, MegaRan (Random), Kev Brown and much more!

Interview: Soul Square (p.k.a. Drum Brothers)

English interview //// French interview

Since there are quite a few Soul Square fans on here, this might be interesting for you.. Because their debut album 'Live & Uncut' is out now, over at The Find Magazine we hooked up with Arshitect, PermOne, DJ Atom & Guan Jay to discuss everything related to the beatmaking crew.

Why did they change their name to Soul Square? What happened? Why the big delays? What about the jazzy hip hop scene in France? What did signing to KIF Records mean for their releases? Where's the 12" with Hus of Tha Connection? Why only collabs with a limited selection of artists...? You can find answers to all these questions in the interview(s).

Very eclectic album by Soundspecies, which is hard to label. But influences from funk, hip hop, soul, electronic and much more genres are evident.

As a review says: "What has materialised isn’t genre music but more of a philosophy and vibe. The love of soul is evident as is the high regard for Herbie Hancock’s 70’s funk output not to mention a deep appreciation of jazz, house and hip hop. The fact that they’ve already been championed by Gilles Peterson and Benji B should also give you another clue."

Guest appearances by Foreign Beggars, Black Spade, 2tall and others.

After more then a year i'm finally back with volume 4 of my for progressive minds series. As usual everything is taken from vinyl and ripped by me. Almost no hip-hop this time ! I start with some soul/funk/disco re-edits then go into some latin/african music and end with some electronic wonky hip-hop shit (or how do we call it today?).

Enjoy !
