Picked this up while diggin' at Play De Record last weekend! Most of these Instrumentals were only available on the Show Vinyl pressed up by ATCQ themselves so I'm not sure whose behind releasing these? If I had to guess I would say these were all taken off the Show Vinyl from their first 4 albums and repressed up on Vinyl & CD! All good tho, it beats paying a few bills at least for one of the actual Test Pressings if your lucky to ever come across one. I've saw The Low End Theory Show Vinyl on Ebay but only Side C & D and it went for a few hundred. Sometime later I saw Aaron from The Tune Up who had the Beats Rhymes & Life Show Vinyl that was given to a friend of his from Ali Shaheed Muhammad. That didn't even last a day on Ebay so I assume he received an offer he couldn't refuse for it. Let's hope there will be a Vol 3 as I still need the Buggin' Out, 8 Million Stories & Keep It Rollin' Instrumentals...
Mr anal hooked us up with his new tape.For those who liked that new vlooper dont mis out on this analphat, He even provided his own fast download server, nice!!

Vlooper sends us his new beattape,I dont think this guy needs a introduction.
This is what he said about his new tape: "Water planet is a collection of water samples gathered from Motherland. Therefore, you might want to hydrate yourself adequately before listening to those vibrations that have been merged together at very high altitude"

So, we have lost a truly unique individual in the instrumental music community. Jun Seba AKA Nujabes was one of the first instrumental artists I heard that gave me no idea on how to classify his music. Hip-Hop? Orchestral? Ambient? Chill? All Of The Above? Haha, he touched on all those thing's. As far as I can tell, it seems like he pretty much set the stage for a long line of asian producer's that followed in his style: Nomak, Uyama Hiroto, Woodblue, Blazo, etc... Way back when, DJ Krush was honestly the only asian producer that I knew about, then I learned about Nujabes, and the rest of the asian roster followed. Honestly, some of my favorite tracks EVER were produced by the man, and his music continues to take me places calm & far away even after multiple listens. He is a master at summoning emotions within his music, almost every track of his paints a clear picture of something in my mind... & This little compilation of 10 Tracks are some of my personal favorites. They paint clear pictures & summon just the right emotions. I hope you enjoy this quick mix, take a moment to listen & imagine the place's Jun was going in his mind when he produced these tracks, & when you see him there, pay due to one of the greatest instrumental producer's ever.
Fresh off his recent collaborations with D. Julien (Live.Love.Learn Mixtape) and XO (“She Spose To” – One.One.Ten), DMV producer Soulful! has returned with his new beat tape, The Mellow Life. The album features a blend of melodic mixture of instrumentals and guest features from IhsAn Bilal, Cayan, Shaka and K-Beta.
"Damu The Fudgemunk’s latest project, How It Should Sound Vol 1 & 2 will be released in April 2010 on Redefinition Records.
Prior to the release date, we’ll post a free EP version to hold you over until the full project is available.
This 27 track instrumental album is, hands down, the best instrumental album of 2010 (at least until Damu’s next release…).
It will be available digitally as well as physically on CD (digipak) and Limited Edition Vinyl (separate records w/ full color covers for each volume) via Redef & Fat Beats Distro.
Please stay tuned and check this page often as it will be updated with plenty of audio and visual content as the release date nears and long after it hits shelves. For the most up to date info, also be sure to visit our blog check our blog wonkabeats.com "
As always, we appreciate your support and interest.
also he's just finishing up a new instrumental album and working on other stuff that i will be posting as soon as he sends to me, check it out and enjoy
new instrumental album will be posted here on the 29th or close to that date of this month.
I know, I Know, I won't stop with the Pretty Lights hype... & Yea, I WON'T stop with the Pretty Lights hype! Haha. This team is SOOOO Legit I really can't put it into words. Derek is the fucking MAN, and Corey wrecks things. For real, when it comes to Derek & his production I can't think of a single other individual that even comes remotely close to dropping anything nearly as Banging & Refined as what Derek does. TRULY. Who else is making beats this dope?? NOBODY. The guy is true musical mastery, and he's the fucking man. After every show he's out chilling with the crowd partying with everybody, no ego to be found. Also, he's added a new piece of equipment to his arsenal, the APC40. He used to have 2 Laptops at one side of the stage, stacked, with the MPD32 & The Monome holding down the rest. Now, he has both laptops on either side, with the MPD & the APC next to those laptops, with the Monome still remaining front & center. It's like the new DJ Set of our generation. FUCK having 2 Turntables & a Mixer, I'm sorry but those day's are gone. I still love watching a DJ rock out a set using some old analogue gear, but with today's technology & machinery, it's time for a change, & PL is one of the master's of the new that I'm talking about. I'm going to stop ranting about the dude, but for real, ALL of you need to listen to his shit, and especially GO SEE HIM LIVE! Seeing him perform is when his music truly sets in to your soul, I PROMISE that you will feel differently about the team after you see them. EASILY the best live music performances I have ever seen. I just returned from his 5 day Colorado tour, saw the opening night in Fort Collins, and one of the nights in Boulder, and I filmed both with my little cam. Here are both show's from Start 2 Finish, detailing the best parts of each track. Watch the vid's & see what it's like to experience a PL show firsthand, and GO SEE THEM LIVE!!!! Peace...
I heard 3L's track 'Without Destination' in the SS Instros march episode, So i did a google search to find more of his music and et voila here is a 2010 beattape
I recently got put on to Spencer Doran by a freind of mine.
Unfortunatley, I dont know a whole lot about him except that I really like his music. Two of his note worthy projects include "Puzzles" and "Styles" both of which are Japaneese releases.
Ohrackraim is based out of Chile. If you like soulful/jazzy style beats definatley give this a listen. In addition to the beat tape I also decided to post a remix project he did. As some of you may already know I am a "Huge" Kev Brown fan. The Kev Brown remixes Ohrackraim did are amazing in my opinion and I just wanted to share them with everyone.... Enjoy!

I was cyphering with some homies and after I was showing off some samples I had but explaining I couldn't find a proper producer for them, so my friends were giving me all kindsa links of different producers to check out, this dude is from CA and has some pretty nice stuff, check him out - InsightfulOne:
If you dont already have this album make sure to give it a listen at the very least. I originally posted this a few years back but decided to re-post it again in order to "Spread the Love" sort of speak :-) This album is a classic in my book!
Enjoy! Bomboclottttttttt!!!!!!!!! LOL!!!!!!!!

Sup again Fam. Gonna be as quick as possible here. New Pretty Lights EP "Making Up a Changing Mind" just dropped today, and it's just about what you would expect. BANGIN. Go grab it for FREE, and make sure you listen to "Understand Me Now" & "Future Blind" as many times as you can, along with the 4 other tracks of course. The opener track "Still Rockin" is as fiery as they come, prob my 3rd fave. Listen & Learn.
Next up we have some BRAND NEW stuff from "The Biz" who just released their debut album today. Also based in Colorado I believe, they are a live audio/visual group, and their stuff is pretty damn good! I just barely came across this yesterday and have been enjoying most of the tracks thus far. Peep the entire album here, or follow the link to purchase it at a price that you decide on. Pretty dope concept. Check 'em out.
Thought I would add this to the post real quick, some love from "Fresh Hats Tight Beats" out of Nashville I believe. It's on the same tip/wavelength as "The Biz", I'm pretty sure that one of the producer's from FHTB also works with The Biz crew. Pretty similar sound and I'm really enjoying all of the work put out by these 2 teams. I would recommend "The Summer Sessions EP" as I preferred that album over the other EP they have for download, but they are both good and also FREE. Follow the link & check them out!
Finally a couple vid's filmed by yours truly. Emancipator just passed through my city along with STS9 and I must say it was one DAMN GOOD show. Emancipator opened & killed it, except I wish there was an extra hour of that dude jamming. I can't wait until HE is the headliner, because watching & listening to him is a great experience. STS9 was dope also, it was my first time seeing them and I was definitely impressed. I didn't know much about them going in, and was pleasantly surprised. They have a cool sound & the light's accompanying the noise was what brought it all together. Check the vid's & try to go see Emancipator on tour if you can. He's doing 5 shows WITH Pretty Lights, one at the end of the month, and the other four right at the beginning of April. So if you can make it, DON'T MISS THAT SHIT!!!
