Javi – Loops, Circles, And Revolutions Vol. 1 [Beat Tape]

Sometimes, all it takes is the right nudge to steer you in the right direction in life, even when it comes to finding new music. For me, that happened this evening when Potholes Music’s own vhvl shared a link to…

ChrisAre – Cult(ure) [EP]

Philadelphia is about to play host to what should be one hell of a night of music on Friday, Jan. 18. The Altered Ego Collective is taking over the Gunners Run venue and the entire crew, including F.L.O.T.E. and ChrisAre,…

Adjaman – The Pen Mightier Than The Blade [EP]

Back in December, Parisian beatsmith Adjaman dropped off a pair of projects, Aether and Sound Particles, that were outfitted with some serious instrumentals and sample flips. And he’s back again with another stellar EP, The Pen Mightier Than the Blade, a quick-fire release…

Do$age – The Greener Side [Album]

Durham, N.C.’s own Do$age continues to impress with his latest project, The Greener Side. This mostly instrumental album highlights his abilities to combine cloud rap’s haziness, boom-bap’s grit, and jazz-rap’s steady grooves. He even gets some choice vocalists, most notably…

Tumtums – Smutmut [EP]

You know why I love the weekends? Because it allows me to catch up on a lot of the music you see here at Potholes on Saturday and Sunday. This includes that Clear Blue project I just posted and this new…

Brock Berrigan – Pura Vida [Album]

It’s been a minute since we’ve heard from Brock Berrigan, a mask-loving producer who hails from Englewood, N.J. But he returned earlier this month with a rad new album, Pura Vida. It boasts 21 instrumentals filled with deftly chopped vinyl, dusty…

Ohbliv – Up [Album Stream]

Last fall, Virginia producer Ohbliv took a trip out West to meet up with his then-new cohorts in the Huh What & Where crew, which includes Bahwee, Ta-ku, Elaquent, and other Potholes mainstays. Since then, Ohbliv has released a slew…

tryezz

Tryezz – Night Driven [EP]

The good folks at Soulection just dropped their 16th project. And it finds the collective moving away from the beat and sample-minded efforts we’ve come to expect for something, well, FUNKY. Night Driven is pure unadulterated funk from Tennessee’s Tryezz, who…

lying-floaters

Simbrula Nox – Lying Floaters [Album Stream]

Simbrula Nox is the ambient-loving alter ego of British producer Starchild, who previously impressed us with his Cold Turkey Leftovers project. While that was a more “traditional” instrumental release, Lying Floaters finds Nox embracing his love for acts like Flying Lotus, Zero…

knxwledge-grainy

Stream Knxwledge’s ‘WrapTaypes.Prt3′ & ‘Koapastetik’ Albums In Full

It’s been a minute (or about a month, really) since we previously heard from beat connoisseur Knxwledge. But that doesn’t mean dude’s been quiet. At all. In just the past few weeks, he dropped two vastly different full-length projects. First, there’s the…
