Filed under: the latest - =lloyd= @ 5:14 pm

Tomorrow live at Jazzbreak: the long-awaited SOUL:ID gig, back in Brussels! Warming up is Dyno, after-party by Eric Soul and Brown Moshunz.

Got high expectations of this one. Check the snippets on their myspace page and you’ll quickly realise this ain’t no kiss-ass radio! Expect an on-point interview with the band and a whole lot of live footage online as soon as possible. Now, go and tell your friends! See you all tomorrow night!

The SOUL:ID debut album will drop early this Summer on ABB Soul, home to Peven Everett, to name just one.
Dyno “Is Sol Waters” is out on Citywurl records right now!

Also, last week we finally launched the jazzbreak.be site, which will be served with news in close collaboration with on-point.be, so keep an eye open for that!

One of the flyest Dutchmen around seems to have finally taken off: I.N.T (Eindhoven, the Netherlands) was featured in last weeks Worldwide show, that is the infamous Gilles Peterson show on BBC Radio One!

Check the tracklist and witness:

Frank n Dank - ‘One Time For The… (Dopeness Galore)

Have no doubt about it, that’s an I.N.T. production right here! Congratulations to him, looking forward to hear the upcoming Kindred Spirit release of him, being a remix on the new Rednose Distrikt single.

More I.N.T. exclusiveness will be featured in the next on-point podcast, being a track of the La Melodia album, released in Japan as we speak, facing a worldwide release somewhere early this Summer!

Check his official site, or his myspace for more info.

Also that other Dustbuster Y’skid got a Frank ‘n’ Dank production coming up, a minimal snippet is online on his space.

Got me reminiscing about my dirty old Imadodattaz demotape, I bet that one’s limited as hell and I’ll be damned if I don’t still play it up to this day! Think I’ll put it on kopjekoffie somewhere next week, it’s only right.
