Tha Silent Partner : Platters, Act 5: The Silent Anniversary (10 Years Of Tha Silent Partner) [BSOG0031]

“Anniversaries are always a good way to demarcate your progress or development, whatever it is that you want to keep track of. For a creative artist, anniversaries can be especially important. In this day and age when to be one, it means that, unless you’re one of the few who the mainstream deem marketable, you’re more than likely doing so without the expectation of monetary gain… mostly for the love of the art. Ten years as a completely independent artist is one hell of a feat and Tha Silent Partner has reached that milestone! What better way to celebrate 10 years than with a new album… another installment in his excellent Platters series, Platters, Act 5: The Silent Anniversary (10 Years Of Tha Silent Partner). In my opinion, it’s the best one yet!”

Tehbis : Luckdaw EP [GRV004]

“Following releases from LA’s Depakote, Manchester’s Kuartz and the well-received Groovement // Volume One compilation featuring a plethora of beatmakers, LabelGroovement is extremely proud to present music from Tehbis as our fourth digital release.

London-based Tristan Williams, aka Tehbis, first came to wider attention with the inclusion of his track Higher on Kutmah’s 2012 Brownswood compilation, Worldwide Family Volume 2 – and Kutmah is a man of impeccable taste when it comes to beats. This led to Tehbis joining the big K on the much lauded Boiler Room twice: initially in April 2013 with Slugabed and Mo Kolours and again in June 2013 with fellow underground producers/DJs Esgar, Jo Def and Tim Parker. To top this off, in September FACT magazine named him as one of ten breaking producers to watch in 2014.

The Luckdaw EP (for in this day and age, 3 tracks doth indeed constitute an EP) sees Tehbis in full on stomper mode, with a little introspection thrown in for good measure. Opener Deww straight up slaps you in the face with a variety of sonic implements in its brief two minutes. With Saturday Cartoons Tehbis teams up with the don Kidkanevil to deliver a collaborative magic carpet ride smacker, while closer Bristol Way quickly builds up into a ridiculous riff that should mash up the club / living room with ease. All tracks are layered with Tehbis’ trademark offworld chords and carefully-unfettered drum snaps, with just a hint of sublime vocals to ground the sounds.”

Mported Flows : Three Pronged Fork [BSOG0029]

“Over the past couple years, C-Doc has brought with him an incredible group of releases that he’s been involved with. Mported Flows’ new album is no exception. Originally set for release back in 2007, for whatever reason it never officially saw the light of day. It’s a shame, too, because it deserves an audience.

It’s truly a pleasure for me to finally be the one who brings you Three Pronged Fork. Unlike what mainstream rap fans have come to expect, Mported Flows is an MC with plenty to say. Whether it’s about the state of Hip-Hop in ‘Gangstas, Guns, Liquor’ and ‘Mic Drones’, providing advice in ‘Advice’, speaking about the love for his son in ‘Sonny Morning’ or getting deeply introspective on ‘Last Track’, there’s no question about whether his lyrics spring from his soul or not. Add to that the solid production throughout and you’ve got a must hear album.

Hip-Hop never went away… I know that… but still… Hip-Hop IS back. Bump this.

Thanks to Mported, C-Doc and everyone else involved in the making of this album. Incredible work.

Of course, thanks again to you for downloading and listening. I hope we continue to deliver the music you love. Please spread the word about blocSonic, if you enjoy what we do. Remember… everything we release is cool to share! Always keep the music moving… share it… blog it… podcast it! If you’re in radio… support independent music and broadcast it! We don’t stop.”
