After recording a joint for their album, they all decided to collab on an album with the Waxos handling the production duties. After a week of recording they ended up with 10 songs, and though the plan was to record more, life pulls people in different directions. They thought that the project was way to dope to keep in the vaults, so they decided to bless the world with it…"

Slumgullion is a group of young creatives who produce and compose music for almost 6 years. It all started when SirOJ and Kid Nap decided to make music together after making beats and stuff for a couple off years. SirOJ did more hiphop related projects while Kid Nap was doin’ experiments with genres such as electro and techno. Later Dok joint the group and the trinity was born.

Pretty cool beattape from this group from Holland.

Mad boring album title, but very interesting music. Discovered while discussing The Sound Providers on Facebook. Way too late, I know, especially since Halftime and Meccanized (Are you still around, Mecca?) posted The EP and The Album on MS a long time ago. Oh and Bob42jh also uploaded material of Day Blues on his Youtube channel in 2009.

So here it is in case you missed it or if you're late as me, Day Blues! Download it for free or support by donating a little something-something through Paypal.

"Seeing as the 21 singular tracks on Down 2 Earth add up to 36 minutes of run-time, listeners can guarantee a stimulating aural experience from the get-go. When artists employ this kind of unconventional album structure, they tend to lose musical cohesion. Down 2 Earth avoids even the slightest slack in unity thanks to Ras’ almost scientific technique. Confidently marrying what Ras himself dubs ghetto sci-fi” with African forms of music and touches of Asian percussion, the resulting beat brew reaches a new level of musical spiritualism."

"Beastie Boys have released a new remix EP featuring new versions of 'Don't Play No Game That I Can't Win'. The track was a highlight of the recent album, with Santigold adding some vocals. A remix from Major Lazer emerged a few weeks ago, with the full seven track remix EP released yesterday (July 27th).

Opening with an edit of the original track, the full EP contains guest production work from French electro boffin SebastiAn, Bangladesh, K. Flay and Z-Trip. Alongside this, Beastie Boys have included an a capella mix which is designed to allow fans to construct their own remix."

Frankly, everyone saw it coming. But that doesn’t take away the fact it was a shock to hear that soulful singer Amy Winehouse passed away at the age of 27. Today she’s cremated after a funeral ceremony for friends and family. To show dedication to Amy, DJ Devastate from Sweden did this tribute remix of ‘Stronger Than Me’, made available exclusively for The Find Mag.

Her beautiful voice combined with a minimalistic groove makes this tribute remix a great surprising result compared to the original. Thanks to DJ Devastate.

This isn't an 'ultimate collection' in the sense that this is everything Epsilon Project ever dropped, but with 65 tracks it's fair enough to use that self-acclaimed title. Good hip hop with features by Verbal T, J-Pro, Wildchild and others. Thanks to Linus for sharing this on the forum! Or Periscope, not sure anymore who did so...

"Epsilon Project consists of seven MCs and producers. Their official debut album features production from Kankick and appearances from Wildchild (Lootpack), DJ Romes (Stones Throw), Oddisee (Low Budget Collective), and Stacy Epps (Stones Throw). Scratches and cuts by DJ Romes and DJ Armani. Don’t let the guests overshadow the album; the seven man crew can hold it down on their own both vocally and musically." - Site

Big thanks to Shamim Ahmed for e-mailing us with this recommendation! Always nice to discover new young talent.

"This is hip hop at its most beautifully simplistic: ineffably fly beats that recall the sticky-sweet heat of a glorious summer’s day and raps that sound less like insecure boasting and more like two confident, hungry young artists volleying playful rhymes back and forth like a basketball." - Golden Age

K-Def - Times Change (B-side)

01. Times Change

Free Download

We rarely post seperate mp3s (should we post more tracks? Or not? Let us know!), but this is a great new one by producer K-Def. He's worked with artists such as Marley Marl, Lords Of The Underground (classic), LL Cool J, Ghostface and others, in case you didn't know..

"‘Times Change’ is the B-Side to K-Def’s upcoming 7″ single ‘For Def’s Sake’ on Redefinition Records, which marks the start of the collaboration between the producer and label." As seen on TFmag.

Thanks Fats!

"Willie Evans Jr. is the physical manifestation of Hip-Hop and one of the funkiest cats to ever touch a microphone and MPC. You see, not only will Willie rap circles around your favorite rappers, favorite rapper, he can also craft a beat, so funky that Clyde Stubblefield himself would be proud."

This is music made with a Hang, a beautiful percussive instrument designed in Switzerland. Hangs are really hard to get and expensive, only one company makes them and you have to contact them to get one made for you apparently. A few years ago I got a chance to play with one, it was soooo awesome, such cool noises, had a fckin blast with that instrument :)

I'm looking at the beatmakers around here... samples? samples? samples?

Thanks to Fats at the forum!!

Off to Dour Festival!

Really, I've been anticipating this festival for a loong time, glad it's finally time!! Four days of great music, good people, too many drinks/food and overall a good time... Flying Lotus, Electric Wire Hustle, Public Enemy, Gold Panda, Joker, Ghostpoet, The Gaslamp Killer, Noisia, Ice Cube and way more...

So that means MS is most likely a little inactive the upcoming five days. But, since 'Can't Stop Won't Stop' is our motto, here are a few places so you can keep digging for good music anytime you want:

- Search the tags/archives in the right sidebar of Musical Schizophrenia, right underneath the comment box. I don't know how many, but enough to dig through! 3 years and counting...
- Go to Mixcloud to enjoy new (guest) mixes in any genre, excellent to discover new artists or to stream mixes
- Follow the The Find/MS crew on Facebook to share music with 2.104 other music fanatics, to 'find' music or just to get your daily dose of goodness. No spam, just good music!
- Speaking of which, hopefully http://www.thefindmag.com/ is already in your daily routine. Same musical taste as this blog, but stuff you can't find on here (also free downloads!) and more in-depth content
- Join the official Musical Schizophrenia forum to share, discuss, have fun and dive into the goldmine of downloads.

Happy digging!

So this is fantastic! I asked Cloud. if he would hook us up with a short mix and he did just that!
Ever since Bjorn on the forum let me know about Cloud. he has been one of my fave beatmakers. In this mix we have some great unreleased beats, old classics, and basically just hella dopeness. Christmas in July indeed!

Dig it :)
