new beginning is aptly titled because its the first time for wordsworth and donel smokes to collaborate on an entire project. the outcome is bliss, from wordsworth’s graphic, storytelling style, accompanied by the scenic sounds of donel smokes, you get pure, no filter hip-hop music. with songs like f.u.(fingers up) featuring blu, or another day featuring masta ace, or do good featuring chali 2na, you get perspective of life, social issues, and ways to rejoice through it all. songs like hate and test of test will definitely spark discussion of reflection, while believe will give you a sense of optimism. this album is a great listen from new beginning to end.

with production credits for pan, ppu, and future times, it’s been a busy year for dawit eklund, winding up to this fully-fledged debut on the label he co-founded. litchi juice is funk-laced ‘gully club music’, channelling inspiration from theo and pepe. on the flip, the psychedelic menace of lies are chic is influenced heavily by herbie hancock and tony allen records. ace, warmly recommended.

vinyl only release! the cough & drop ep is a various artists reworks ep with a ronnie turner and edgar moon collab on the ace robertas slack single and then ronnie digs out two killer cuts, the first being chucks back reworking chuck brown and the soul searchers borrero e sombero and the second is the very rare ashphalt jungle track freaky time which has been tweaked up a bit strictly for groovers. we are sure this ep will be doing some serious dance floor damage in the months to come

first part of the ace new a made up sound double drop on his own label. two pieces of his signature stutterfunk with the machines slowed down to a midtempo drift. stumbling on the a-side, slamming on the b-side. highly recommended.

droid behavior’s luis flores comes through with a 2-track ace for the label’s 20th vinyl release, static forces. negative pressure (a1) starts off with a brewing undercurrent of bass and hypnotically builds into a dizzied cavern of competing sonic forces and reverberant whispered utterances. surface tension (b1) takes an alluring shaken groove and reveals its drive as its elements make their way to the front, slowly pushing the track’s rhythmic intensity. two tracks for long play and lost minds. silk screened jackets on black sleeves.

having produced one third of nas generation-defining illmatic, large professors place on the pantheon of hip-hop heavyweights is already etched in stone. when you add in his groundbreaking debut as a member of main source - or the fact that he has collaborated with luminaries like pete rock, a tribe called called quest, busta rhymes, mobb deep, masta ace, and big daddy kane - it is crystal clear that the mans influence towers high above the history of the hip hop.
with fat beats records’ release of re:living, large professor builds on his already impressive discography with an entirely self-produced record that delivers all the crisp drums, razor-sharp scratches, and innovative uprock grooves that define his signature sound. *i m moving forward,* large says, *but i went back to an earlier formula. with this project i feel like it is the closest that i take it back to that main source style.*
featuring roc marciano, inspectah deck, cormega, g-wiz, fortune, and lord jamar, re:living shines a spotlight on new yorks best voices from the golden era to today. but above all, large professor lets his production do the talking - and with a legacy like his, beats speak louder than words.

culminating the cycle of drone logic, daniel avery releases new energy, a collection of remixes including six new reworks. token records’ ace in the pack Ø phase reshapes naive response into a beautifully psychedelic techno trip whilst conforce turns the previously reflective simulrec into a militaristic stomp aimed squarely at the floor. further out still, ruthless noise experimentalist powell takes a typically esoteric approach to water jump, leaving it just as catchy in disarray as when it was first conceived.

2015 repress ... willie burns and entro senestre team up for their second release on l.i.e.s. under the daywalker + cf moniker. big things on here! picking up right where last year s release left off, the title track supersonic transport turns out to be their most dancefloor driven effort to date. doing exactly what the title states, it moves in beautifully epic territories throughout its almost 8 minutes long course, taking you where you need to go. the b-side turns the floor vibes down a notch, as both tracks are left alone to breath in their own worlds, each with equal space and unique sonic character. ace release from these guys.

khandoits hypnotic 100 bpm stomp does not adhere to genre or fickle trends, it simply bangs. the track begins with a sturdy kick and piano glissandos which recall alice coltranes most transportative work. as the beat picks up, a creeping, filtered arpeggio enters its journey between rhythmic and downright nasty serving as the track s primary drama. its a stunning intro to the new label grimy trax, a musical chameleon that can be dropped at the beginning, middle or end of the night. to complement the epic a-side, grimy returns to the endlessly talented midwest and emerges with lulu, an original track by deejay/edit ace bruce ivery. the track seamlessly combines the chicago acid sound with the clever vocal sampling of early 90s nyc house. the result is pure peak-time heat. towards the end of the track, ivery arranges brief melodic elements into a propulsive disco facsimile. this unexpected turn summarizes the philosophy of the new label and the way this small group of artists selects and makes records. it doesnt matter if its house, disco, or techno, just make it grimy!

the artist occasionally known as simon rufdug mcruff al-duggleston steps up to the collectable porn wax series with two lustful, lingering looks at 80s electronica. sorta rican is all soft skanks and twinkling keys. think ace of bass but with added balearica. mv look , meanwhile, is a psychedelic storm where bold blasts of synths overlap like crashing waves on a new beat shore. mesmerising and masterful, ruf dug is one smooth operator.

h a ll o h a l os first release and it is 001 for revno records also ... off to good start we think! h a ll o h a l o is a stockholm based anglo swedish unit formed when jon dasilva (hacienda/rush hour/ellum/soma) met inventor and multi instrumentalist jonas nilsson in the first week in his new home, stockholm. apparently nilsson and dasilva became best friends sharing their more nuttier studio obsessions… here h a ll o h a l o serve up some killer italo - flavoured disco and deep house with the doubleheader tuff beat / yessir. this is electronic music of the highest order…muscular and inventive and, dare i say, very future…in a blade runner kind of way! which brings us neatly to the name, which, according to the pair, is a pretend title for a philip k dick novel. there is no pretending with the music though ... ace deep house - incoming!

french fries delivers two originals on the cutting edge of modern bass. “space alarm” is right up in your face but artfully holds back right when you think it will go over the top. the inside “smoke wine” is more in the vein of last years smash “yo vogue,” yet more understated and deep which is rare for the genre. when i play these at the right time they always solicit an audible “ooooh” from the crowd at thedrops. remix #1 is by justin martin who really blows it up dirtybird style with almost a breakbeat old school electro beat. remix #2 is by dirtybird newcomers goldffinch via belgium who also deliver a really funk laden club version. both remixes are ace and the full release brings a very fresh sound to the label.

12 inch vinyl only. the first entry into the templar sound white label series comes via sydney savant dro carey. careys n.r. beat is the centrepiece of this vinyl-only release. the track is a menacing hybrid of rapid-fire martial 808s and uncompromising sub-low bass, indebted in equal parts to black ops and mobb deep.grime don j-sweet forges his own uncompromising version turning the instrumental into a brutal piece of 8-bar weaponry guaranteed to cause damage in the rave. the a-side of the record is reserved for a vocal of the n.r. beat by south londons merky ace with the mc riding the track with ease, his vicious flow effectively kept in check by carey’s brooding instrumental.
