My EP on Black Acre “Margins” released last October entered Bleeps Top 10 EPs of 2010, and sold out at the end of 2010. If you missed it, don’t worry as it’s been re-pressed on tasty yellow translucent vinyl, and copies of this limited new pressing have arrived. You can order a copy over at Boomkat.

I’m back from a three week holiday in India and catching up with the world now.

First, here’s a collab I did with Coco Bryce for his forthcoming album “Boesoek” on Fremdtunes, coming late February:

Coco Bryce & Kelpe – Corrado by Kelpe

“I usually turn up the volume once again when I get to “Corrado,” featuring Kelpe, which has a great electro-boogie funk to it that seems to be channeling the Gap Band or even some Off the Wall-era Michael, while throwing in some more current house music as well.” – Scratched Vinyl

19.Feb: Café Julien, Marseille (France)
