jakarta friends & family #3: Bob of Beatevolution Berlin & Hazeem (who is a great producer in his own right) are 2/3 of the ppl behind the legendary bimothly berlin beat session BeatGeeks which manages to pack Monarch Berlin on the regular on a tuesday evening. just another proof that instrumental hip hop music is in a place it has never been at before. if you’re in berlin tonight and don’t have plans make sure to stop by before the venue starts their summer break for a couple of weeks.

jakarta friends & family #2: Oddisee has been a longtime friend of ours. we did host one of his first shows in europe (must have been something like 2001/2, years before the label started) and we also released a little 12″ with him years ago. either way one of the nicest and most talented guys you will meet in the music business.

juju rogers, current Jakarta Records intern at the office in berlin. he’s a dope musican himself, be on the lookout for his upcoming ep and an introduction to more ppl surrounding us.
