    I’m really not sure how Chairman Maf manages to output beats at such a rapid rate, and maintain such a high quality, but I’m glad he does…

  • Cuthead – Everlasting Sunday

    artworks-000059735333-e583m3-t500x500YESSSS! Very much looking forward to this 9 track EP/mini album from German producer Cuthead, discovered him about 4 years ago via last FM, and this release continues in his mixture of ‘the-kind-of-house-that-i-like’ on the A-side, and glitched out bass heavy hiphop on the B-side.

    Favourite of the bunch of snippets up on soundcloud right now has to be this one:

    Full preview here:

    Vinyl: November 8th 2013
    Digital: November 15th 2013

    There we go again. Finally, Cuthead returns with the long awaited follow-up to his “Brother EP”. His new record “Everlasting Sunday” surely fulfils some dreams as it is packed with no less than nine tracks. Three catchy House tunes on the A-Side and six Hip-Hop-jams on the B-side make for a very extended EP or a mini-album … the choice is up to you!
    Right at the beginning we start with the sample-heavy “Maputo Jam”, a tune in classical Cuthead-manner with its irresistible drumming full of stumbling blocks and layers of sweet synth-melodies. “Nautic Walking” is a straighter House track with a guitar line and clapping samples but that bass line quickly reminds you whom you’re listening to. “Minerals” starts off pretty deeply before evolving from a jazzy House affair into an almost orchestral tune with opulent strings.
    The flipside is an extensive expression of Cuthead’s inexhaustible love for Hip-Hop. There is feel-good material like “Everlasting Sunday” and “Deep Shadows” as well as banging joints like “Calculator Watch” with all the typical Cuthead-trademarks: sick bass work, stammering drumming and imaginative sampling.

  • FOOLS – Chairman Maf

    https://soundcloud.com/chairmanmaf/fools-chairman-maf

    Yet more gold from what has to be one of my favourite producers, Chairman Maf. If you’ve not yet done so, do yourself a favour and go get his 1976 album from Bandcamp. Seriously, it’s been the soundtrack to my summer..

  • Copycat – Pause Tape 1 [Mixtape]

    http://soundcloud.com/dj_copycat/copycat-pause-tape-1-mixtape

    =========================================================
    New Download Link: copycatbeats.bandcamp.com/

    It’s the ten year anniversary of the Pause Tape 1 [Mixtape]

    This mix was kinda done as a tribute to cut & paste dj tracks, mainly from people like Too Tuff from Philly’s Tuff Crew who was a major influence on a lot of people including me.

    It was also a throwback to the pause button edit mixtapes that most of us started our journey into sampling with.

    It’s a rough & gritty ride through battle breaks, dusty samples & heavy cutting.

    There are way too many tracks & samples to list. All I can remember is a hugh pile of records & a busted Vestax PMC 06 battle mixer at the end of doing this mix.

    The third installment of our mixes for triple j Mix Up Exclusives. Taking you chronologically from 1992 – 2002.

    Once again, using the Soundcloud time markers, we want to see you name:

    – The samples of major events in history
    – The original songs used to make the edits
    – The modern day songs that used the samples
    – The unlisted cuts of other songs we snuck in

    Just like the 72-82 mix and the 82-92 mix, there are plenty of Easter eggs to be found. Some more obvious than others. Get hunting…
