Credit to Mike Zarin from Atlanta for always sharing good music.  Saw him post this on Facebook today.  Never heard of Incredible Polo before, but now he's on my radar!

From Mello Music Group:

Producer Gensu Dean has been quiet for a minute after his collaborative album with Planet Asia (Abrasions) and then his production work for 7evenThirty (The Problem). As summer starts he wanted to let his fans know where he's been musically by offering up an all new instrumental album for free. The 25 track record is meant to be a warm up to the new material Dean has coming late in 2015 and early in 2016.

From Altered Tapes:

** In celebration of us hitting #5 on the CMJ Hip Hop charts (& #15 on the RPM charts), FREE MUSIC! ** A 121bpm House flip of our Pharcyde "Runnin" remix. This was something we usually only played in our live sets, but enough of you asked about it so here's a download! Shades of classic Chicago House over all this one...

Last week, we aired a conversation I had with Roger Bong, a DJ who took his passion for Hawaiian records and turned it into a great blog, Aloha Got Soul, which lead to him starting his own re-issue label under the same name. Gearing up for their second release on June 22nd, Roger talked about his blog, establishing relationships with local musicians, and why he felt a re-press of his first release was good for everyone. Full tracklist available at Soundwavesradio.com

From Mello Music Group:

"Heaven & Earth" is the newest single from Pete Rock. An introspective beat drawn up by the original master bringing in a piano and strings driven melody while trademark drum snaps and a rubbery bassline pushes through the background. It's the type of joint that'll catch you staring out the window at the city lost in thought - an emcee's perfect canvas. Today, we thought we'd give it away as a free download as we start to gear up for the big release of "Petestrumentals 2" that is less than a month away.

The new album comes out June 23rd on Mello Music Group.

Dope music from From Wah Wah 45's!

"This is it. The last of the Forgotten Songs.The last remaining tracks that were initially composed after The Hollow and around Bight. Five pieces that grew up too late, or in the wrong way, to make those albums. But five songs that stuck in my head and that I wanted to share. The writing process is a long winding road and sometime there are detours. This is 5 of those tangents."
