The classic, finally back in print on LP! The roots of Kool Keith's abstract poetical style are in evidence here in all it's brilliant glory, properly displayed without the smug hipster irony that makes so much of his latter day projects so off putting. Plus, the Ultramags had that amazing production by Ced Gee. This is still one of our all-time favorites late 80s new school hip hop albums. With "Watch Me Now", "Ego Trippin", "Ease Back", "Funky", "Kool Keith Housing Things", "Feelin It", "Ced Gee (Delta Force One)", "Traveling At The Speed Of Thought" and more.

Soulful hip hop soundscapes from Parisian beatmaker and producer Hazel – nice stuff with the beats and bass nice and prominent in the mix – with spacier, more atmospheric elements floating over that solid backdrop. The instrumental atmosphere carries the vibe, but there's a couple tracks with vocals by Drake and Slakah – and the titles include "Lightmares", "Lunchpack McQuack", "Share" feat Drake & Slakah, "3AM", "My Show", "Ninety Eight", "Piano Boy", "The Walk", "Eyes In", "The Mint", "Situation", "The Run", "Can't Get You", "Stevie", "Bosquito", "Love Letters", "Carriacou" and more.

A nice little one-sided flexi single from producer Hazel – a avant hip hop instrumental with a hypnotic sound! It's got a thick beat clapping underneath some echoey keys, sampled vocal atmosphere and a layer of electric guitar the floats in and out – courtesy Slakah The Beat Child.

A damn strong 3-track 7-inch EP Versis & Bagir-Ba – the former on the mic and the latter laying down the beats – on 3 tracks that are reminiscient of the classic craft of Tribe Called Quest, Stakes Is High era De La Soul! Charismatic rhymes, prominent funky beats and sunny keys in mix. 3 solid tracks: "Barista", "Amanita" and extra soul jazz-inspired "Naima".

This one's for the DJs and producers: drums, drums and more drums from team Beatdown – credited to Drumbreaks – and it's got whole lot of 'em! 56 funky drum breaks and pair of drum solos for good measure on 2 sides of 10-inch vinyl – open demonstration breaks with various syncopations.
