Underdoggz [2023] - Planet Grouve [Self Released] (Full Album)

We believe that "Planet Grouve" is a debut album from Underdoggz who are twin brothers from Berlin. We say 'believe' as we suspect that their music is merged with another group of the same name from The Netherlands but are unable to find much information about them.

One track in particular, "Do You Mind", is doing the rounds but we also like "Don't You Know", "In My Room" and "I Keep Dreaming" which has a retro 60s/70s vibe.

The whole album has a throwback feel from 60s-90sh New Jack Swing and even 80s feel (i.e. the title track). We've just tagged it as retro soul.

Some have speculated that it is a 90s recording but that is unlikely given that they have a number of recent music videos on their YouTube channel including one for "Do You Mind" below.

Sweatson Klank feat. AYA [2023] - The Limit [Friends Of Friends]

A new name to us, and certainly one you wouldn't forget, is Sweatson Klank (who was formerly know as Take).

At the end of June he released "The Limit" which has a 80s feel and is the second single from an upcoming album "A Free Mind" due on 23 Sep. It follows "The Road To Love" (19 May) (also included below).

He's a beatmaker/MC/producer from L.A. whose catalogue goes back as far as 1999 under various aliases such as Take, Kirsnick Ball, The Rocket and his real name Thomas Wilson. He seems to have adopted the name Sweatson Klank around 2012 and has 35 singles/EPs and five albums under that moniker and many more under his various aliases.
