Most of what nyc producer Cloud is making sounds like new-age beats for early hip hop. These Eyes, however, is a twinkly, daydreaming loop; one musical thought explored a couple times and left for you to lay back with.
Both lazy songs for sleep, and back beats for your rhymes about the new and emerging crack epidemic, It’s all pretty great and downloadable.
Monster Rally makes some really gosh darn pleasant music. His music is sample-based, hip-hop influenced, laid-back and tropical-sounding. Unfortunately, he only has about 20 minutes worth of music available right now. Both EPs clock in a little over 10 minutes. So, hopefully there is a full-length in the works.
You can download “Palm Reader”, his other EP “EP” and his remix of MF DOOM’s “Vomit” for free at his Bandcamp page. And if you’ve got a cassette player, you can get his split tape with Dunian at Sweatlodge Guru.
Baths is a 21 year-old beat-making prodigy from California. Normally, I wouldn’t mention the artist’s age – but this kid is younger than me, plus leagues beyond anyone I know in terms of musical talent. He does really amazing things with drum loops and the way his synths and samples sound. Great job, Baths!
Baths’s new record Cerulean is awesome and available here.
There’s something instantly gripping about this Bonobo track. It manages to be hauntingly beautiful while simultaneously cracking you upside the head with a fat beat. I think it’s this contrast that won me over within seconds.
His Black Sands LP came out last month and it’s well worth your time.
Flying Lotus has really outdone himself with his new album Cosmogramma. I loved his last one, Los Angeles, but this one just feels fuller, wider and overall nastier. Also, what’s a Cosmogramma? Cosmo Gramma – like grandma in space? (Not funny? Ok.)
Preorder Cosmogramma here. It comes out May 3.
Lone (aka Matt Cutler) is a producer out of Nottingham, known primarily for his warm and woozy hip-hop beats– falling somewhere between Boards of Canada and Flying Lotus. With its laid back airy vibe, Karen Loves Kate sounds like a something you’d hear at J-Dilla’s pool party.
