Providence, R.I.-based producer Falside met up with Boston-based turntablist DJ Emoh Betta, of The Deck Demons, for an afternoon of Pad Thai, caffeine, and brainstorming. Meet’n Veggies is the result. It’s a free five-track EP that blends Falside’s boom-bap elements with DJ Emoh’s ridiculous skills on the decks. If this is anything like what I have heard from Fal in the past — yes, I haven’t had a chance to listen yet — this is sure to stay in the rotation for at least the next week or two. Enjoy.
A humble, slender man carrying an old and tattered lunch pail to work used to be a strong image of blue collar America, but, Edison, an up and coming hip hop instrumentalist from San Francisco, California is forever changing that classic picture of patriotism. Equipped with a concrete scarred yellow lunch box that was morphed into a 64 button monome, Edison carries his calling with talented fingers that crawl over its body like a crystal meth cooked arachnid.
When we think of “Edison”, we think inventor, innovator, incandescence– and music’s version of Edison embodies just that. With his canary colored instrument that glows incandescently, Edison innovates foggy foundations draped in dark drums. These traits can easily be heard in his latest record, All the Information at Hand, which was released two weeks ago on Kid Without a Radio. This record was graciously let loose as a free download and can be yours here.
London, England based producer Jon Phonics recently released a free 28-track instrumental album showcasing beats he constructed over the last two months called, Jonathan’s Beats & Pieces. The album turned out to be a dope inside look on what this talented beatsmith has to offer, especially considering it takes a year or two for other producers to whip up a beat tape like this.
You can expect spaced out foundations, dirty electronic stabs, trippy samples, blunted bass lines, and yet another solid beat showcase from an overseas up and comer. Don’t sleep.
Rob Viktum, the man behind so many excellent free projects like An Audio Tribute To The Cambodian People and AmericanDONUTShop hits us now with Volume One of his Snack Pack instrumental series. I can say in the utmost confidence that Rob Viktum can bang with the best when it comes to production. Time and time again he blesses the internet with polished, high quality projects that sets himself apart from the clutter of free online releases that you get on a daily basis. If you have yet to delve into the work of Rob Viktum, this collection of 14 smooth, soulful instrumentals is a damn good place to start. Check it out and as always, let us know what you think!
As promises, It’s A 6th Sense Beat Yo!! has arrived free for download. 6th Sense is one of the hottest beat makers right now, and this releases explains it all. 33 tracks of straight beats for your ciphering pleasure. Check it out, and let us know what you think!
San Francisco’s DJ King Most just put together a nice Mega Mix of the instrumentals to Illa J’s Yancey Boys LP. Not only do you get the instrumentals on here, but Illa J also provides some excellent commentary over the tracks. Stay tuned to Potholes In My Blog over the next few weeks as we will be featuring Illa J in an exclusive interview on Open Mic Presents…
