DJ Heron drops new webisode “House Of Heron” Ft. Money Mogly
The House Of Heron opens its doors again for a new episode! Presented by Gridlock Production House the web series pairs the Peruvian Boom-Bap king DJ Heron with top Miami, Florida spitters. In each episode the guest does a blindfold record pull from Heron’s collection to cook up a beat for them to spit to on the spot. This new episode features the gritty n abstract Money Mogly whose pull of a 1976 Melba Moore LP is the blueprint for the resulting crime-flick sounding “Death Wish 4” single.
This is not the only collaboration between DJ Heron and Money Mogly to manifest this year. Heron’s Spanglish boom-bap trio Grupo HNE (also composed of emcee DJ Exes and multi-instrumentalist Nando) featured him on the recent single “Big Pictures.”

The last episode of House Of Heron actually featured Grupo HNE, who concocted a Billy Joel and Dr. John LP cook-up resulting in the single “Golden Tone.”

Returning with his second studio album, “Pure and Simple”, Norfolk-based singer-songwriter Ervin Munir impresses! Following his first album, “Broken Compass”, Ervin does not fail to enthral with a sound which is uniquely his own. Moreover, he emphasises love, grief and loss in this album which will take you on a trip to remember.
One of the highlights of “Pure and Simple” is its many collaborations with a versatile list of musicians, which give the album depth and edge. Tina Blaber’s vocals on “King and Doors” add extra dimension to the album and Aeron Z Jones’s contributions on bass, electric, and slide guitar bring newfound energy.
“Pure and Simple” finds the perfect mix between grandeur and intimacy right from beginning to end. ‘Felixstowe”, is one of the album’s best and it captures its emotional depth and employs a strong drum solo to accentuate its poignant delivery. It is stripped-back but very touching and it is a magnificent distillation of Ervin’s musical vision. “Doors” highlights Munir’s adaptability as his delicate piano playing accentuates Blaber’s harmonies and it produces a very personal feeling.
“Pure and Simple” is evidence of Ervin Munir’s musicianship, honest candour, and engaging songwriting. For everyone who values sincere narrative via song, this album is a must-listener providing times of contemplation and pure musical enjoyment.
