This is my last post for the next 6 months. I´m heading to India, finding my inner peace in a nice calm ashram. Joking: Actually I’ll be working in a small school in the countryside and the internet won’t be part of my daily life.

In my jukebox today: Modeselektor (“Let Your Love Grow”), Half Pint (“Too Rude”), The Rolling Stones (“Too Rude”) and The Streets (“Stay Positive”). Enjoy the last episode of Cass’ Cuts for now and if you have some travel tips for me, hit the comment section.

Sand, the Zebra, and The Heroic Cardboard Box (more from The Rocktower soon)

Man, I hate those star thingys on top of all Youtube videos now. Still want to share my Sunday selection though before I had off to the football stadium. Here we go:

1. Shystie, known from “Dubplate Drama” and “Adulthood”, drops her album in 2009. The first single “New Style” definitely has some crossover potential.

1. Legendary Falco gives it up for the munich girls. Wonder why this isn’t a club anthem in munich?

The picture above is from the famous Pirelli calendar. In 1971 they flew to Jamaica and made some pretty amazing stuff. Click here to enjoy the other pictures of the theme “Caribbean Affair”.

1. This week I finally got my hands on the “Black Diamonds” album from Buraka Som Sistema. How can it possibly be, that in 2009 a record isn’t released on the same day all over the world? No wonder, people keep downloading. But this one is definitely worth the wait and money.

Some of you might know these tracks already, but I’m pretty sure some don’t. Get your big sound system started, sit back and enjoy.

1. Rusko - Love Is Real. You like this one? Get his EP “Babylon Vol. 1” in your favorite digital record shop.

Laden had my boombox locked all week. He’s an upcoming artist from Kingston, Jamaica. Besides his MySpace, you won’t find much about him on the web. Check my favorite tunes:

1. Laden - Money Over War (Advocate Riddim, Prod. Stephen McGregor)

2. Laden - Working Hard (Prod. Daseca)
