I know some of you wanna skip this post because of the genres, but please don't judge this too soon.. This is not some bad 'dirty dutch' house or popular house, but fresh house (with some techno influences here and there) from Detroit with soulful/jazzy samples. We posted Moodymann before and you seemed to like it (positive comments). So enjoy this Rick Wilhite featuring Moodymann, Theo Parrish and Rick himself.

Don't like this? please, leave a comment so we know we don't need to post this anymore. But we just wanna try to keep the blog eclectic and maybe even introduce you to new kinds of music besides (jazzy) hip hop - although of course we'll post that a lot as well!
