Mute Group Parlay


a tape dedicated to playing with mute groups, the function that keeps samples from overlapping, instead one sample interrupts another . in my opinion this is the soulful expression if the producer making it sound like a record skipping in perfect time.

ILLingsworth I didnt ask for this

Really enjoying this record. Mostly known for his beat tapes and live beat sets. This record is a vocal reminding us of his wordsmith capabilities. Also available on cassette with bonus beats.

H∆SHTAG$ - Don't Call It #Beats - Episode 4

Found this Gem over the summer:
 For the fourth episode of H∆SHTAG$ - our web series 
chronicling Internet-based music - we take a deep dive
 into the fledgling beats scene. Flying Lotus, TNGHT, 
The Gaslamp Killer, Shlohmo and XXYYXX are just a
 few of the artists that talk about how a small LA club 
night and circle of friends turned into a truly global 
phenomenon and transformed both electronic music 
and hip hop along the way.

Previous Episode: http://youtu.be/x8cA5Qqmqbs

H∆SHTAG$ is a new series of mini-documentaries

 from the Red Bull Music Academy, shedding light 
on some of the most fascinating themes emerging
 from the web in recent times

Not a Beat, Not a Scene



Not a Beat, Not a Scene is a short documentary covering the diversity, roots, and promise of the beat scene, for lack of a better word, in Los Angeles, California. Special shouts to
Daedelus for the extra insight and inspiation.

14KT - Five & Ten (Official Music Video)



From the 14KT album "Nickel & Dimed"
https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/nic...

About the song: "This is one of the few times that I've written most of the verse in my head. I was reading ECCLESIASTES 2:17-23 and that scripture was right in alignment with how I felt as an artist at the time. I wrote this off of the frustration of releasing instrumental projects in my profession. I've been approached/treated MANY times in very unprofessional and disrespectful ways. I wanted to be a voice for all of my producer peers who deal with this frustration and to serve as a notice for up and coming producers/beat makers."

Animation by James Reitano & TFU Studios
