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! :) )

Adventures in hiphop - Mixtape (January 2015)

This time I selected my favourite hiphop tracks into a mixtape that I've listened recently. The tracks are free on SoundCloud or on Bandcamp pages, and of course you can download this mixtape as well, if you're so pervert. Most of the artists are German hiphop producers, there is an Austrian guy (Mono:Massive) and you can see some North American guys too (Marco Polo, Kevin Kool). All of them are great beatmakers.
I know, the mixtape collapses twice - I just couldn't keep it in one piece but I hope, you'll like it anyway. Here it is:

I also made a playlist of those tracks, so you can download them separately. (Tracks from Hubert Daviz and Mono:Massive are on Bandcamp.)



If you like some of the artists, follow them on social sites or order their music, or just go to a party where they play: Hubert Daviz, Twit One, Fulgeance, Melting Pot Records (for Betty Ford Boys and Carpet Patrol), Melodiesinfonie, T&A Records (for The Rub), Mono:Massive, Darker Than Wax (for Kevin Kool & Phoniks), Figub Brazlevic, Bruce Missile, Bluestaeb, Klaus Layer, Feelin' Music (for S. Fidelity. These guys deserve any supports!
