Khing Kang King - Metal On Oxtongue
Old Apparatus member LTO (disguised this time as Khing Kang King) and (oc)cult rapper Mowgli joined forces to create a subterranean ride to the twilight lane. Metal On Oxtongue is a harsh, toxicated tone of grey with all the glitchy percussion and abstract breaks enlightening the blackened hip hop of Mowgli’s tinge while the hazy ambiance is circling the electric atmosphere like a smoke…
IAO EP is out on Sullen Tone on April 8th.
Clear Blue - Vienna
”We feel there is huge similarity’s between the Avant-Garde/Free Jazz movement of the 50’s & 60’s & the beat movement of Today. As both movements attempted to break down, extend & alter the conventions of their original genres (Jazz & Hip Hop) & were never afraid to experiment & improvise to create something that wasn’t accepted commercially at the time.”
Cosmic Compositions put up a neat compilation with abstract hip hop producers strictly sampling Pharoah Sanders. Below is a gorgeous example of what’s going on in there from the beat-hands of Clear Blue.
Cosmic Compositions Avant Garde Series Vol. 1 [Pharoah Sanders] is available for purchace/streaming over here.
The Fugees - Ready Or Not (nknwn Remix)
Ok, i haven’t heard this song for a long time now and there was a time that this song was stuck in my cd player for ages. Now, nknwn came with a brilliant rework/remix and some harsh and screwed mdnight bombs placing these different (!) Fugees in the top of my playlist!!! Yeah, it’s soooo good!!!!
WaMoo Papez - Milk
This guy has been making music for some time now but i did’t had a clue about him until today where his new release magically dropped in my inbox! New York citizen producer WaMoo Papez let himself to go crazy on ”We Float”, balancing somewhere between Brainfeeder sounds and the instrumental psychs of J.Dilla! This is something to make you happy…
You can have a taste by listening the brilliant opening ”Milk” and then run to his bandcamp page to download ”We Float” LP for free.
Giganta - Rhythm In My Heart
Grecian female music producer Giganta should get ready for big things! By the time i heard the magnificent ”Rhythm In My Heart” shivers went down my spine as the production skills coming from this girl should be noticed by anyone. A danceable, uk/funky, ’80s synth and sampled electronic track that is sending some groovy vibes through your system!
.message are an electronic duo from Athens, Greece who are producing some scary, dark and bass heavy experimental music with only one purpose. To make the hard times we are all live in even more surreal, to make you think that this is only just a nightmare and that you’re about to wake up! All this scenery is backed up by an excellent, futuristic production and especially on the track ”Under The Gun” where it makes you wanna hit the roads of a bustling city at midnight, carrying nothing else but yourself and your ipod! That’s a nice feeling!
Phantomass returns with a new track just a breath away before 2011 burst into flames. On ”McFly On A Delorean’’ the grecian producer makes woozy beats with a chilled out vibe that somehow brings together Ibiza and Los Angeles, while nostalgic ’80s synths are prepping up a road trip with the Delorean….. Beautiful.
P.S: Happy New Year!!!!!!!!!!! Happy 2012!!!!!!!!!!!
Το ”Flash & Yearn” των Tooth Ache είναι από τα πιο όμορφα pop άλμπουμ που άκουσα τελευταία! Η υπέροχη φωνή της Alexandria Hall δένει απόλυτα με τους downtempo ήχους στους οποίους κινούνται και οι ακαταλαβίστικες, μυστικιστικές λέξεις τονίζουν την παγανιστική, ηλεκτρονική ατμόσφαιρα που κάποτε είχες βιώσει μαζί με την Fever Ray! Ακούστε τις ατμοσφαιρικές μελωδίες του ”Guilt” και πεταχτείτε μέχρι το bandcamp τους για να ακούσετε/κατεβάσετε όλο το άλμπουμ….
Αυτή η κολεκτίβα που ακούει στο όνομα Ontask Family κρύβει μέσα της πραγματικά κάποια διαμάντια! Στο ”Purdy” ο Body Cheetah συνεργάζεται με τον Ahyve (τον βλέπω παντού τελευταία!) και το αποτέλεσμα είναι ένα υπνωτικό, abstract hip hop κομμάτι που βαδίζει στα χνάρια της Anticon! Ακούστε το και έχετε τα μάτια σας ανοιχτά για το καινούριο LP του Body Cheetah προσεχώς!
Και μετά ακούστε αυτό το sampled soul hip hop σε παραγωγή του Ahyve!!!
