Benjamin One hit us with a new MPD routine today. It’s recorded live, one take, one shot and is straight dynamite. The resulting track drifts between raw electronic drumming and a more mellow flow, starting off at a head-nodding 92bpm the routine then switches up to double that. We want to know when the album is coming out..

Credit for the video goes to Tuskegee Cadet, and Blazin put the tape together.
Produced by Edinburgh based Sci Fi Stu, Venomous2000 The Most Efficient features CyMarshall Law, John Robinson, El Da Sensei. Big line-up right? The track hits you with enough boom bap to make your head nod like it’s a 90′s joint but the production’s smoother. The Most Efficient is track number 3 off the album “A Moment To Reflect II” now available for download at http://www.venomous2000.bandcamp.com/
Make sure to check Sci Fi Stu’s other production work on his soundcloud and website, he’s put in his work and if you ask us – it’s time he got some well deserved wider recognition. There are a couple more of his tracks below, One Dimensional has been on rotation since we heard it about a month ago.

More homegrown beats, this time from Ghost Feet based in Olympia, WA. Hobbes and Qloq assemble tracks using guitars, drum pads, synthesizers and field recordings, and can pull it all those Wires and Chords into an ill live performance. They just dropped a 4 track EP called Wires and Chords on Dropping Gems ( check the Holodecker EP while you’re there ) ..
We’re really stoked to see a continuation of the new music tradition from our home-from home Oly, and Ghost Feet twist it producing shimmering layered electronic beats. Did someone say Boards of Canada?

Along with artists like Nosaj Thing, Flying Lotus, Hud’ Mo’ and Afta-1 we’ve been listening to this a fair bit since it dropped. Hayzee’s Next Level beat tape flips sampled electronic sounds to produce really well effectuated beat tape. Just let the track below bump – when the beat drops it all makes sense. Just nod your head!
