I just grabbed Scuba’s new ablum released in the last couple of week’s through his own Hotflush label. There’s some really top stuff on there but this is the one that’s doing it for me. Lovely summer vibe with an awesome bouncy bassline. Get it now!
A mix of Minneapolis tunes which is totally awesome. Obviously a lot of Prince on here as well as several of his side projects so I’m guessing a lot of the the tracks here were written by him. I recognise a lot of the names of people on here but had only heard two of these tunes before!

I decided to start the week off with a day long slow jam session on Monday and the fact that I was powering the office stereo meant that everyone else had to endure this as well. No one complained, which is surprising.
