The Very Best

The Very Best (“European production duo Radioclit and Malawian singer Esau Mwamwaya”) are holding a remix contest for their song “Julia.” It’s the seventh track on their debut full-length, Warm Heart of Africa, which is out now digitally and out on CD October 6th on Green Owl Records. The raw files are hosted HERE and you can send your submission to [email protected]. Brooklyn’s Javelin remixed the song, and you can check out their version on Green Owl’s site.

The Very Best will play Green Owl’s CMJ showcase on October 21st at (Le) Poisson Rouge. They share a bill with Theophilus London, Violens, Grandchildren, Ninjasonik and Nat Geo Music. Tickets are on sale, or you can try and get in with your CMJ badge.

Violens are also playing a CMJ showcase at Bowery Ballroom on October 24th.

Ninjasonik just posted a small tribute to Beau Velasco of TheDeathSet who recently passed away. “NY ceremonies for Beau will be this Fri & Sat”. Stay tuned for more details.
