Another Taste - 'Don't Stop' (Live from Hidden Gem)
Is it boogie? Is it 70’s funk? Obscure disco? Or an ode to Burgess? It’s neither and it’s all. These flavors collide, merge, and what oozes out of the speakers is exactly what the groove doctors prescribed: Another Taste. Netherlands' own eclectic collective built its sound in the home studio of Danilo Plessow (MCDE). Experimenting only with tape and analogue equipment to find beauty in the imperfection.

Crudo Collective - 'All-Out' (Live from Hidden Gem)
Crudo is a colorful collective with musicians that dare to think different. They combine soulful instrumental compositions and fresh collaborations with dope singers, rappers and musicians, and are highly influenced by jazz, hiphop, neo-soul and various Afro-Latin styles. Crudo means raw/unrefined in Spanish and the band name is used as a metaphor for our vision about music.

Miss Meredith - 'United' (Live from Hidden Gem)
Miss Meredith is a funky and spacey alter-ego played by talkbox-player, singer and keyboardist Chelsea Laverne. Meredith is an alien alter ego that allows Chelsea to be completely musically herself. The music is funky, otherworldly and takes you to new worlds outside the earth and sometimes to places in the core of the earth where no human has been before. Where the alien and unknown live.
