The Garage, House & Bass movement is more serious than what us North Americans might expect. Once you get digging deeper into the clouds Euro stars it becomes quite clear. It’s all of the sounds that have been dominated sound waves for two to three years now, it’s what #Vancouvers own sound has been reaching toward, at least similarly. It’s delish, now, ‘I’m On You’ by Portugal’s / Phoenix Arizona’s Lewis M.

A new Canadian series makes it’s debut with artists spanning this vast country. At times it does feel like Footwork is a forgotten form. Good to see Canadians keeping yet another genre moving and growing. Of course the Philthkids have a place on the compilation. They may be the West Coasts latest and greatest contribution to Footwork. The release as a whole is made available for a modest seven dollars.

It must be cool down time for somebody out there now. It is certainly here. And as it so happens Nizhny Tagil, Russia’s Moscillate has just the right stuff for such an occasion. Presumably a he, holds expertise in Future and Hip Hop Instrumentals. Definitely get familiar with this one. I’ve included a couple extras as ‘A Sense Of Calm’ will tide you away from bed.

What was most displeasing about the 0 To 100 drop was the two separate but attached tracks. The first six minutes (0 To 100) was strong enough on it’s own. Others were quick to realize this and thus, remixes ensued. Amongst these artists were San Diegos ALL GOLD. Trap is the direction they took.

What I love most about the Gold Coast’s Paces is his genre melding. We’ve got the Jersey with his always tasteful touches of Tropical xylophone. The remix is an offical and appears on the ‘Carry’ EP of Sietta and can be purchased on iTunes.

Ough, a real jem came through a few days ago. A dark, “atomospheric”, trap drum riddled remix of one of the years early on Deep House hits. The mood is so thick through and through it’s deserved of it’s own visuals. Mood collectors and setters should consider a download.

Throwback OG status. Many of us know the Space Jam OST in and out, these Rnb times have brought it back for many. Half of St. Louis’ KReam Team went back for a re-visit to Quad City’s most successful. This choo-choo is all Future. Hit dem switches.

“The idea behind this album is letting go of some unwritten rules, personal and musical, in order to evolve. I got inspired by some of my favorite graffiti writer’s books.”
Astral is Norwegian instrumental hiphop producer 16 knapper’s first full length album. After years in the graffiti and skateboarding lifestyle, he’s found a new creative outlet through his MPC and extensive stash of vinyl. Fans of J Dilla and DJ Shadow should be happy with this release.
