Georgie Anne Muldrow - fOnkRocker
Having released somewhere near a dozen albums under various guises over the last half-decade, Georgia Anne Muldrow continues her restless and invariably noteworthy career with the release of an all-instrumental album, VWETO, on Mello Music. Muldrow's blend of hip-hop, funk, R&B, and rock can often be heady music, with short, abstract tracks often sidling against longer vamps. But her stock of oddly compelling sounds, which includes her own voice, always keeps you interested. Recalling such funk-rock hallmarks as Funkadelic and '70s Miles Davis without sounding like an imitation of either, "fOnkRocker" reinforces Muldrow's distinctive imprint on R&B's increasingly strange trajectory.

AFTA-1 - Love (Bare Version)
AFTA-1 have produced this very sweet little instrumental 'LOVE' that you can download here from bandcamp.
Love IS. That is really it.
We choose to be aware of this truth & capture every fleeting moment through the act of creation. Life is a gift overflowing with constant inspiration , and as c r e a t o r s we are all blessed with the tools necessary to translate our experiences in it, into art.
Our mediums and methods are as unique and infinite as these experiences, yet, the vibration that unites us is the same;

DJ Day RBMA Workshop, New Zealand.
I just got home from the Red Bull Music Academy Workshop with DJ Day at Red Bull NZ and honestly? I have left inspired. I discovered DJ Day from his work with Miles Bonny and of course there is his stunning and tasteful bootleg of Erykah Badu's "Honey" which if you have not heard yet you must.
This brother has soul, integrity and a clear passion for what he is doing which just radiates from him. I have a lot of respect for him and I feel very honoured to have the opportunity to thank him for what he puts out, because the world is truly a better place because of it. Beautiful music inspires greatness.
Whilst at the RBMA Workshop, DJ Day mentioned a track which he did with Miles Bonny called "Learning To Fly" ** which he has put out for free download here.

** by the way, when discussing experimental albums, DJ Day dropped "Dark Side Of The Moon", i later asked him if he preferred Pink Floyd with or without David Gilmour, like a man after my own heart, he said with David Gilmour. It is interesting that this track is called "Learning to Fly. He advised that he released this track for free as a way from moving on from what he had been creating, as though to release himself to go into new directions. Learning to Fly (by Pink Floyd) was written by David Gilmour once Roger Waters left Pink Floyd, leaving Gilmour to take over as the "leader"of Pink Floyd post Waters departure.... Fitting.
WikiLeaks cables: BP suffered blowout on Azerbaijan gas platform
Striking resemblances between BP's Gulf of Mexico disaster and a little-reported giant gas leak in Azerbaijan experienced by the UK firm 18 months beforehand have emerged from leaked US embassy cables.
The cables reveal that some of BP's partners in the gas field were upset that the company was so secretive about the incident that it even allegedly withheld information from them. They also say that BP was lucky that it was able to evacuate its 212 workers safely after the incident, which resulted in two fields being shut and output being cut by at least 500,000 barrels a day with production disrupted for months.
Other cables leaked tonight claim that the president of Azerbaijan accused BP of stealing $10bn of oil from his country and using "mild blackmail" to secure the rights to develop vast gas reserves in the Caspian Sea region.
