DJ Slow - State of high (2015)

DJ Slow in one the most influential hiphop producers in Hungary. His essential beats made Akkezdet Phiai vocals unforgettable for a generation of mine and this May he just put another cool work on the table. This monster album called State of high has 27 tracks, and if you are familiar with beatmakers you know you can get full length - ca. 3 minutes long - tracks and a lot of awesome one-minute-long sample tracks. Of course I won't write of the tracks one by one, I just highlight my favs.

You can listen to fat beats with some Hungarian folk music samples in the first track Worldizmine. Then Pastone part2 is myterious. Biolin is a crazy mix of beats & classical violin (it is a well-known piece, but I'm sorry I don't know who conducted this sample). Go to Juan and you'll get a lobby music of a hotel in Florida from the 80s - nice guitars. :) Fullaza is a high class beat with a groovy bass guitar, while Sand brings you to the sea shore and it can remind you Gramatik's Portoroz in July.

Slow is on the same side in the hiphop area like Suff Daddy and other German hiphop producers at Melting Pot Music. If you liked my blog post about Beat Power or Souleance, you will definetely love this material as well. Unfortunately vinyl edition has not been released... soon I hope fine records will be pressed with some of these tracks because it would really deserve that format. You can download the album for free, or you can buy on cassette too (again, back to the contemporary German hiphop culture! :) )
