Oddisee - hip hop remakes of Marvin Gaye & Metronomy




Check out Oddisee's EP of remixes & remakes called Odd Renditions taking on Bon Iver, K-Os, Metronomy, & Marvin Gaye. Featuring notably singer Olivier DaySoul whose appeared on tasty tracks by Eric Lau & with Krystal Klear on Eglo; links below. My kinda soulful hip hop.

Keeping on the same tip, I thought I'd have a look & see what Kev Brown was up to. His LP 'I do What I do' which came out in 2006 kept me going & hopeful in hip hop after Rawkus faded. With MCs on there such as Kenn Starr and Phonte in addition to singers Wayna and Eric Roberson; Kev's beats enhanced the craftsmanship of the record from beginning to end. 
Back in April 2012 Kev released 'Random Joints' a preview of his first new material on in-house label Low Budget Records as a preview for the full release later in the year. It features appearances by many of his longtime friends and collaborators such as Raheem Devaughn, Ken Starr, Sean Born and Eric Roberson. Sounding good on the links....can't wait to hear more.

A festival dedicated to the funkier side of beer launched today at Oedipus Brewing in Amsterdam.  I caught up with Jan from De Bierkoning bottleshop to talk about his love for these organisms with funny names like Brettanomyces, Lactobacillus, Pediococcus, Acetobactor, Torulaspora, Kluyveromyes and Debaryomyces.  Ya dig? Q: Carnivale Brettanomyces "A beer festival dedicated to Brettanomyces  and other wild things"   - please can you share with us how your  festival idea came around, how long you've been going and where the  festival is based? This will be the 4th episode. Number one took place in 2012. It was a one day event back then.  As many things it sprouted during a beery conversation with Elaine Olsthoorn, staff at Bierproeflokaal In de Wildeman . I'm myself am a long time employee at De Bierkoning bottleshop. At In De wildeman they have yearly events, putting certain styles, or countries, in the spotlights. The German beer days, the UK

Brew Like A Pro

Brew Like A Pro By   Jules Gray • 07 Aug, 2018 This is the home brew book I've been waiting for and I don't say that lightly! Andy and Graham's  home brewing book , a new 'CAMRA's Essential' release in their pocket book series really pitches the subject well and in a very understandable way.  I've pictured the contents page below so you can have a quick scan to get a feel for how the book is laid out. The two key areas - 'Ingredients' and 'Brewing Process' - are then broken down into appropriate elements and are detailed at just the right level. Even a seasoned home brewer will pick up new information and 'top tips' from this little number. I'm one of those in-between brewers, self taught from reading (books/ online blogs), brewery tours, speaking to fellow home brewers and essentially trial and error. I can happily create my own recipe and turn out a decent classic style like a stout or saison - but when it comes to water treatme
