Mar_io : Twilight Of Ages [BRQ135]

“At a time when our memories of sweaty club nights seem to stem from a parallel universe, it seems just fair that Mar io’s latest broque EP dedicates it heart and soul entirely to atmospheric downbeat electronica. Twilight of Ages is full of reminiscences of the 90s, but rather than telling tales of dancefloor hysteria, it takes the turn right into the adjacent chillout rooms. Any many may recall that the chillout of the 90s has been the time and place where soothing ambient spheres combined with an unhindered drive towards experimental electronica have made a long-lasting impact on contemporary music by constantly bending and blending genres and sounds. […] the EP as a whole resurrects the heyday of dubby athmospheric ambient sounds and playfully broken downbeats across seven diverse and enchanting tracks. As such, the charms of Twilight of Ages will delight and embrace everyone, by no means limited to those who have experienced the escapism of the 90s in chillout rooms rather than the dancefloor.”

Various : Bust Free 21 [BUSTFREE21]

“Ten years ago, Cold Busted launched a compilation series that’s become a trademark for the label. Bust Free spotlighted Cold Busted’s staple artists alongside new names, and, as a free download, was a gift to the label’s fans. Over seven years Bust Free produced an impressive 20 installments, charting the course for Cold Busted’s distinctive brand of laid back instrumental hip hop.

Now, after a three-and-a-half-year break, Bust Free is back. Bust Free 21 has the widest scope yet, with producers from nine countries representing Cold Busted’s growing international influence. Among the 16 artists on the comp are label favorites like Emapea, The Deli, Es-K, Mister T., and saib. And over the 15 tracks, they’re rubbing shoulders with newer names such as Mr. Goldenfold, West MAAD, Sebastian Fraye, and B0nds. The selection is diverse and strong, coming together in a sonic ride that will equally please DJs, beat-heads, and the ‘music for studying’ crowd. These vibes are exceptional, top to bottom.

Like others in the series, Bust Free 21 is available as a free Bandcamp download. This installment of Bust Free is also issued on cassette and vinyl, each format limited to 100 copies.

Tracklisting was put together by Key. Side A was A to G. Side B was F to A. It’s flows nicely.”

Surfin’ Bear : Bearstrumentals Vol 1 [none]

Surfin’ Bear is a guitar player who produces his own tunes rather than a producer.

Heavily influenced by early funk and other American boom bap producers, Surfy B also takes great influence from other Edinburgh producers who prove that you don’t need to be from a certain place to make a certain type of music, you just have to be a fan. That’s how it all starts.

Edinburgh born and raised (although now living in Montreal) Bearstrumentals vol 1 was made in Motionless Mama Bears spare room. The Album came out of frustration that most of the best samples have already been taken.”
