Greetings. Haven't posted in a while so here are a couple things in the bag
as of late for those that might be interested.
4Hero - Escape that (remixes) : If it says 4Hero on it, it can't be anything
short of mindblowing. These 2 remixes (been out for a while) are a hip hop
beat speed and kind of in a head nod vibe but the beats (of course) aren't
your everyday. violins and cellos and the like. Beautiful.
4Hero - Two Pages Interpretations (remixes) : Almost as essential as the
original. The Jazzanova remix of "We who are not as others" is lovely. The
remix of "the Action" with Butterfly (?) i like better than the original.
Another highlight is Azymuth's remix of "Star Chasers" in which the
percussion takes over and puts jaws on the floor.
Tom Tyler - Fusions and Illusions [DC Recordings] : Dope experimental beats
with a Pharoah Sanders, Fredrique Galliano kind of a spiritual vibe tossed
in there. Real jazzy. Flutes and harps. Anyone with a lead on anything
similar to this stuff i'd appreciate hearing about it...
Mathar - Indian Vibes : Beats and Spookyesque electronic atmospherics with
sitars and the like. Pretty cool.
Misterjon - Sea Change EP [Ultimate Dillema] : Fat sharp beats with a badass
piano. In a minor key, i think, like that Jeru "D.Original(?)" joint.
Sonny Face 12" [TummyTouch] : The Sonny Cha Cha is a funky break beat Latin
flavored thing. Silly French voices and a lounge vibe mixed with sharp
chopped up break beats and trumpets.
Home Entertainment Vol.3 [Liquid Sky] : Most of this stuff i hear in this
series is a bit electronic and experimental. This however has fat beats and
is jazzy. recommended.
Manotronix - Needle to the Groove 12" [Sleeping Bag] : Found a gem from
1985! Great cover art. Markered graffiti style B-Boys a'la Beat Street
stylee.
Roots - Things Fall Apart : Can't stop playing it!
