Soledrifter is a new name to me (I think) but his track “Let Me Sing” is the secret gem on a diamond-studded release – a stripped down funky jam that could have been hiding in Cajmere’s closet all these years:

Check out the entire EP featuring tracks from Lombard Street and Melodymann here. This is vinyl-only and will be released (by the latest information we have) in early January 2019; pre-orders are up in a variety of record joints, including deejay.de.
