It’s always cool to be one of the good guys. The good guys stand tall, they win and then later on, over port and cigars on a white sanded beach beneath the glowing sun, they get to feel all righteous and validated. At least that’s how I imagine things going […]

[bandcamp album=1199402859 bgcol=FFFFFF linkcol=4285BB size=grande3] Not my usual cup of tea but a nice enough dose of Electro Indie nonetheless.
In fact Klezmer + pretty much anything = success but that’s just stating the obvious. Anyway, an old track from an old Budabeats (home of Suhov and others) release for you today. Technically not a massive innovation but if you can listen to this and not find yourself starting to […]
As the first release from the newly created Don’t Flop Records, a new appendage from the ever busy Battle League of the same name, it’s easy to have some high expectations for Just Assume, I’m Everywhere and a bit of optimism before the first listen won’t be disappointed.
[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fYZ2JDEbOk8?rel=0] In memory of all the fine beats lost buried beneath the effluence of disappointing MCs and the fine work the producers of the world do (barring those making bad capital ‘E’ Experimental music).
(Purple Bird Music : 2010) It’s the usual Hip Hop idea that death is good for business, in fact as Goldie Lookin’ Chain once devoted a song to- whatever genre you’re in an unfortunate demise is likely to make your career. Amidst the cynical profiteering the mainstream so gleefully indulges […]
[bandcamp album=2872814051 bgcol=FFFFFF linkcol=4285BB size=grande3] Normally I limit myself to frowning disapprovingly at glitchy Electronica for having too many disjointed, discordant beats for my more refined tastes. Add to that the penchant for self indulgent meanderings from the producers who throw themselves into it with more than a handful […]
[bandcamp album=1071822468 bgcol=FFFFFF linkcol=4285BB size=venti] The beats drift and swing in a manner most pleasing, although not necessarily in a particularly spectacular way. Still well produced though and a nice ebb and flow of beats which are a bit more subtle than the norm and have a slightly deviant […]
[bandcamp album=1244112383 bgcol=FFFFFF linkcol=4285BB size=grande3] Some nice spacey beats on this predominantly instrumental album from Brainchild although I’m less impressed with some of the lyrical contributions which at times don’t do justice to the depth of said beats. Still there are enough well produced tracks to be worth a […]
[bandcamp album=3700813001 bgcol=FFFFFF linkcol=4285BB size=grande3] Some meandering beats, intelligent lyricism and some nice ideas with this Dub tinged Hip Hop album from Ogmios. There’s a good range of concepts from track to track, all in the Conscious Rap (a relatively pointless term I know) vain but clever enough in filling […]
