Handbook – Dustworks [EP]
U.K. producer Handbook has been a favorite of ours for some time. And before we get the chance to drop something special with him and another artist, he dropped a brand-new EP with the folks at Pragmatic Theory. It’s the Dustworks…

Potholes Presents: Ain’t That Good News: A Tribute to Sam Cooke [Instrumental Compilation]
In 1931, the King of Soul was born the son of a preacher in Clarksdale, Miss. Had he not been shot and killed some 33 years later at the height of his career, Sam Cooke would be celebrating his 72nd birthday today,…
Handbook – Titanomachy [Album]
I’m buggin’ out. And maybe it’s the coffee I’m drinking. Or maybe it’s the fact I just ate Corn Pops and the sugar is running through my system. Or—if you’re still with me—maybe it’s simply that Handbook‘s new album, Titanomachy, features…

Supreme Sol – “Adulterated Psychology” P. Handbook
Supreme Sol, I’ll be damned. Another bomb track that I found via my man Handbook‘s Soundcloud. Handbook provides the skeleton for this winner of a track, and Supreme provides the skin and organs, issuing the listener a challenge: to understand what…
Pragmatic Theory – Summer In The City [Compilation]
Compilations, mixtapes, playlists, they can all be bundles of serendipity.. It’s a lazy but rewarding way of discovering new music without scouring Soundcloud for the pages of producers from countries you thought disappeared when the Soviet Union fell. We’ve released…
Venomous2000 – “Analyze” P. Handbook
U.K. wunderkind Handbook apparently never sleeps. When he’s not dropping new solo material, he’s shopping beats to rappers across the globe. The latest spitter to snatch a Handbook beat is Venomous2000, who bodies the smooth, upbeat backdrop with slick rhymes. If…
Supreme Sol & Handbook – Higher Manifestation [EP]
The groundwork for Higher Manifestation was laid back in February when fire-spitter Supreme Sol hopped on a Handbook beat to create “Ungodly Etiquette“. The British beatsmith was clearly impressed and decided it was time for he and Sol to do a full project…
