Mr Loop – Things from the Other Place Ever since I first heard Music From the Tannhauser Gate I’ve been something of a Mr Loop fan boy. As a producer he’s very good, with a knack for picking out the right sample and the right […]

[bandcamp album=1850183307 bgcol=FFFFFF linkcol=4285BB size=grande3] Well it’s UK Hip Hop old timer Syntax and Tom Caruana – variable but undoubtedly talented producer, with a new album which samples Edgar Wright’s work (Spaced, Shaun of the Dead et al) and is loosely related to his work. Although in practice that just […]
I don’t dislike Dizraeli, although starting a review with that may seem like a certain precursor for slating something.
It’s been a while since I reviewed ‘The Crow’ which featured the collective efforts of the Kojak Brothers (Humble Pious being amongst them) and despite my less than glowing opinions at the time I still find myself sticking it on from time to time because, doubts aside, there was some […]

[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 […]
