Really relaxing sounds, love this album a LOT.

"Andy Cato, on hiatus from Groove Armada, releases THE MAGIC DRAGON under his alias, Caia, on the respected Guidance label. While the Groove Armada influence is definitely present (the laidback rhythms, easy-breezy melodies), there’s also some more beautiful moments that the Armada abandoned by their fourth album. “Remembrance,” for example, is a gorgeous piece of chill-out with an angelic choral sample. “Summer Lightning” has a light Afro-Caribbean vibe to it, enough to add flavor and not so much to be overwhelming, while “La Telecabine” has some shimmering synth hits that sparkle like broken glass in the street. But fear not, there’s still plenty of funk to go around: “Mr. Gone” and “Heavy Weather” swim in it. “Afterwards @ the Bar” goes for jazzy, with delectable results. Let’s hope that Caia revitalizes the Groove Armada boys, but if not, I suspect Andy will do just as well on his own."

"Singularity is a soulful blend of hip-hop and jazz, and the distillation of the transformativeness of much in my recent life.

the style of the album is inevitably a synthesis of all my big inspirations: nujabes, yngwie malmsteen, motoi sakuraba, yoko kanno, and the list goes on. for those unfamiliar, the album carries some serious overtones of both jazz and hip-hop (big nod to nujabes), though i've injected much of my own flavor into the mix. there is a touch of electronica. and the gratuitous guitar solo."

"The idea behind the Visioneers is fucking awesome - started by Marc Mac (of 4hero, look them up if you don't know), it's a bunch of UK studio musicians paying homage to their favorite U.S. hip-hop producers such as Jay Dee and DJ Premier. In effect, these guys "resample" their samples, turning them into extended instrumentals. They have a really sweet organic jazzy sound - the drumming in particular is too dope. Great to work/chill to."

01. Bias & River Nelson - Strange Things

Free Download

Normally we don't share seperate mp3s, but over at The Find Mag they share a free track by producer Bias and Brooklyn raised emcee River Nelson exclusively for free, and it's a great one!

"Bias and River Nelson bring together their respective talents to create the boundary-pushing 5-track EP ‘While We’re Young’. Highlights include the hooky, defiant ‘Wherever We Go’, the perspective-inducing ‘Different At Night’ and, of course, the prowling title track, whose pitch-perfect blend of both US and UK hip hop utilises synths, samples, head nodding beats, and evocative lyrics: “I stare into the glare while I’m still in my youth.” Oh, and don’t miss the ace animation for ‘Strange Things’." - The Find Magazine

In most parts of the world the sun is gone and we bet that many of you reminisce back to the hot summer. Unfortunately we can’t bring back the summer, so that’s why we hooked up with BCR Music’s Dandy Teru to make your cold, rainy, grey autumn a bit more bearable.

Dandy Teru: “It’s about hip hop, it’s about trip hop, and nu-soul sometimes as well… But it’s more about autumn, and this chill-out mood I love to feel in this period of the year. I hope you will enjoy these tunes and spread a lot of love to the artists tracklisted in the ‘Autumn Mix’. Never forget to support labels and artists you love, and you will save our world for real!”

Thanks to Jon for this one! Great downtempo album. I always find it hard to label releases like this with genres, but hopefully you get a view of what this is. If not, listen to the preview!

"In comparison to Blackfilm's self-titled debut album, most other so-called cinematic peers fall short. This stuff simply defines cinematic. Its orchestral nuances and muffled piano ("Interference"), spectral voices and effective interlude transitions ("Eastern" and "Untitled"), among other elements, serve to elucidate this formative strategy. Blackfilm" reflects a promising musical direction and, more significantly, astute artist selectivity."

Thanks Fats!

"The Japanese style beats will be familiar listening for fans of The 49ers as they frequently surround themselves with such talent, however the unique musical vision of LEMS together with the whole production collective makes for some highly enjoyable listening as they perfectly execute that fine balance of organic beats and soulful backdrops. Keep your attention on WIB for updates. Special shout out to kaede!"

Many of you were eager to download this jazzy EP when we shared it a month ago, but unfortunately it wasn’t available on Bandcamp as download anymore... But, The Hop allowed The Find Mag to exclusively upload their EP for free on TheFindMag.com!

There are hints of ?uestlove in the tight percussion style throughout, recreations of horns in the style that Pete Rock would love to sample and the seven tracks are peppered with sounds. From the Ahmad Jamal-esque keys on ‘Dreamland’ to classic talkbox effects on ‘Le Rap Me Porte’.

I stumbled across this little gem when I was rolling through bandcamp. I emailed Beat Attic for some info about himself and is from San Diego and has been making music for years apparently, but just started putting stuff out. I think he has a very "schizophrenic" style as his two projects sound nothing alike. This DUB ATTIC project sounds very much like something Madlib would put out, but his other album (which is also available for free download) sounds more chill and laid back. At any rate, enjoy the album! Peace.
