Every now and again I hear a song that, well to be frank, I get a little obsessed over. It'll be the first song I listen to when I leave the house and the last one I listen to before I get to where I am going. This week I downloaded a mix by Tevo Howard and discovered two tracks to obsess over. The first track is the currently unreleased Dependency, this is a freakishly good track and I cannot wait until it is finally released, it's track number 7 in the mix, listen to it and tell me I am wrong. The second track is Shaquanda, an older track which was released as a B-Side to a vinyl only release on Thug Records. I am reliably informed that this is down to the last few copies on Juno so if you like it as much as I do get it quickly before it's all gone. I can only desccribe this track as lush.
