AEED - Synesthesia





I have played quite a few singles from AEED on the show, which is why I'm stoked to be able to post this freebie.

The music is kind of like a mix between those lofi paddy synths that Tobacco uses, with a really broken but heavy Dilla drum break. Also uses samples in a cool kind of Madlib way, as long as I'm making comparisons.

Of course, it comes away sounding nothing like any of them.

It's really different, but not in an alienating way, I really REALLY like this release is basically what I'm trying to say.

Free Album: The Are - Iran (Insturmental Hip-hop Protest Album)




When I stubbled upon this Instrumental Hip-hop album, I was going to post it straight away before I'd even heard it, simply as solidarity for cause.

Just in case it wasn't hardcore gangster rap/pro-censorship I ended up giving it a quick spin, and damn, this is completely dope.

Seriously, if you like your sample based instrumental hip-hop raw and heavy (don't we all?) then this is most definately for you (/all of us).

Words from the artist:

"I started this project a while back but got side tracked with other projects. After I returned from NY a few months ago, it was one of the things I wanted to finish. After the Iran election went down and I saw the press and protest, I thought not only did I want to do this project but that it HAD to be done."

Free Album: Two Bone Giants - The Lost Art... Revamped



Some really cool, darkish downtempo instrumental hip-hop. A bit experimental, but should still get your head moving. Definately deserved of a couple of "repeate all"s.
