Electric Wire Hustle - Electric Wire Hustle (2009)

Another Friday is here and I think it calls for something with a little groove. The first full length from this crew out of New Zealand will not disappoint. Glowing vocal hooks and plump bass lines set the mood right. Put some love in you.

Nujabes / Fat Jon - Departure (2004)

Today, news has surfaced that Jun Seba aka Nujabes, died on February 26, 2010. The outpouring of emotion and admiration from his fans is coming from around the globe. I was enthralled with his vibe the first time I heard him and he soon became essential late night listening. I'm posting this album in his memory. May his music live on.

Peace Orchestra - Peace Orchestra (1999)

The first solo outing by Peter Kruder, half of Kruder & Dorfmeister. He maintains the laid-back percussion but adds a spacey ambiance that creates more of a soundtrack experience. Listen with ears open and eyes closed.
