Blue Sky Black Death - Nujabes - Tycho - Skalpel - Shameless Self Promotion...

Yea People, firstly a little self Hype. I just won a Design Contest for Akomplice Clothing! Really surprised about it, and really amped they thought my work was Hot. The contest was hosted at >> bnqt.com and you can see the Results page here >> Results Anyway, you can head over to my Design Blog to see all the Designs if you're interested, I'd like to know what everybody thinks of them...

Alright, got that out of the way and now onto some really Hot stuff. Blue Sky Black Death. I can't say enough about these dudes, their sound definately does not fall into a single genre, it's just Great Music. In my opinion, I feel that they should start doing soundtracks for movies, this Podcast fits PERFECT with a Slow Road Trip through some Farm/Desert Country,(just like the Cover Pic) and it brings imagery like that to mind while listening... Anyway, check it out and comment, it is definately worth discussing.


Blue Sky Black Death - Gifts In Jail Vol.1

Now some New-jabes... Their latest album "Modal Soul Classics", I've seen it posted in the C-Box a few times but wanted to get it up on here because it is Bangin. Some true orchestration on here. Get it.

And now a new single from Tycho (Scott Hansen) out of San Francisco... This guy is one Dope Individual, Epic Musician & Great Artist. I am always waiting to see or hear more from the man. Check out this track, it's really similar to his others, and as always dope. Pretty sure he has an album due for the Fall. Check it:


Tycho - Adrift

Then, just came across these dudes from Scott Hansen's Design Blog. Skalpel, a duo from Poland on NinjaTunes, they sample a lot 50-70's Polish Jazz. I only listened to one track, but it was nice. Really dusty and laid-back shit, it reminded me of DJ Cam. Alright people, hope you enjoy these, and once again don't hesitate to comment. Peace


Skalpel

Andrew is right... MONSTROUS.

Nujabes is just one person, and that Modal Soul Classics is just a compilation CD.

somebody call stones throw, we have another donuts clone. chopping samples into 90 second loops, using the same ol' drum kits ... is anybody getting sick of this shit yet?

pimping this dude on your site says a lot about the current state of hip-hop. this kid's no producer -- he just copies them on youtube.

to all of you madlib/dilla 'fans' -- bring your own shit.

Seriously, this kid is way over-hyped. The chops don't even go, he just put a hard drum kit behind it. He needs work.

Unknown said...

Yeah I'm not sure I feel this very much. I'm gonna have to agree that putting a hard drum beat over a chopped soul track is pretty played out at this point. This is a classic Barbara Mason song. It deserves a little better than 90 seconds worth of effort.He could at least drop the bass out & put his own bassline on it or something. Not trying to hate, Iv'e just heard this done about 8 million times before. I'm confused, what does this have to do with BSBD?

BSBD - Gifts In Jail Vol.1 is just a compilation of different Post-Rock bands. BSBD didn't put any production in this album.

yall r right, but guess what sells.
& honestly, it still sounds good though, it sounds great, i'd listen to it. Because of what u said about little work, i'd get tired of the sample a lil 2 quick, but i'd luv it 4 a day, and another if i lv the track alone 4 a while. Plus, he did sum decent sampling. I mean som ppl take a whole song or half a verse sum instrument solo and put drumz on it.
I never really ever considered sampling that much work though.

shit is dope.
got my head bobbin' and dreaming of being a fresh mc all over again. lol
doesn't matter how easy it is to do,
or how many tracks/layers it took,
as long as it bangs.
if you have a certain preference, that's different.. toucheeeeee
