Get it? Delicious Gutter? It's like Delicious Vinyl and gutter music combined... because it's Bmore remixes of... oh, you got it the first time, ok. Bmore stalwart Debonair Samir and compadre Aaron Lacrate take on two tracks from Delicious' deep catalog. First...   click for more

Someone really put the gorilla gloves on those congas, much heavier than the usual spindly electro slaps (though Awesome Foursome's "Funky Breakdown," "Planet Patrol" etc- are saved by reverb). That's Spyder D on the Vocoder, using a different alias due to some...   click for more

A succinct 6 track sampler drawn from Blockhead's Uncle Tony's Coloring Book album. Although Block has been delivering the goods to indy emcees like Aesop, Cage, Slug, and Murs, he always seems to keep the best, most forward stuff for himself. His...   click for more

Damn, I remember when we got a couple of these singles in a few months ago. Before I could even ask how it was doin' - POOF! They were gone! If you missed it, no worries homie. This is the full album...   click for more

C.R.A.C. (pronounced "Crass") is the new duo featuring two hotly tipped Sound In Color affiliates, Detroit beatmaker Ta'raach and LA MC Blu. "Bullet Through Me" is their first outing and it alternately calls to mind the trippy fuzzy guitar and melodies of...   click for more

Full length album from French rap supastar Dabaaz featuring production from some of Disque Primeur / Institubes' most trusted names. A-Trak scratches all over an obscure Clipse sample for "Regardes Les," Drixxxe tinkles the ivories on the jaunty, piano-driven "En Plein Effet,"...   click for more

One of the bigger tunes from Dabaaz's full-length and a banger (even if you can't understand it). The Drixxxe-produced "Tu Veux La Guerre?(2)" brings to mind the term "Eurocrunk" (which kinda makes me wanna shoot my face), but this is pulled off...   click for more

The Gaslamp Killer put me onto these beats, so you know it's gotta be good. He played it at our LA store, and I knew it was something special. Whereas most Indian influenced beats sound like loops from Bollywood records hastily pasted...   click for more

On "Dillagence," Spinna mixes mid-nineties drums and late seventies synthesizers for what hip-hop should sound like in 2008 (but sadly this breed is rare). In tribute to the late great J.Dilla, the bassline is a reworked version of the one from Phat...   click for more

Spinna tributes to Dilla. Need I say more? Just listen to "Dilla Is The G.O.A.T." and be prepared to press the add to cart. Imagine the suave space sounds of Dilla be flipped by master Spinna. It's hip hop, but wait -...   click for more

Had to consult the Mr Fresh bible on this one (our trusty spiral-bound promo version, bien sur, suckas and japanese), and of course there is both a label scan and a "highly sought-afte" tagline. What else makes these things happen these days?...   click for more

"Be cool. The fuzz is your cuzz." Once said the Watts police officer to the grizzled scrapyard dealer who wore a mottled maroon cardigan. Edan has become a fuzz farmer. It's all over his beats, his head and his toadstools. Humble Magnificent...   click for more

I've been so into Sprain Your Tapedeck that I'm thinking in Edan phrases all the time: "Let's buy some cats. Stealing is the way. TGI Fridays"; Thus, I copped this 12 looking for the Bob James instrumental to do my best Edan...   click for more

Hip-hop's #1 retro '88 specialist is at it again. Believe it or not, his upcoming Beauty and the Beat isn't all odes to Percee P, but you'd be forgiven for assuming that based on "Fumbling Over Words That Rhyme" a song that...   click for more

Our favorite white boy emcee/producer is back and he hasn't changed a bit. People who still haven't taken a bite from this forbidden fruit, take note. Yes, Edan is from the unabashedly "old school" camp, but while that usually equals eject on...   click for more

I'm the mental motivator, the dialogue demonstrator, the principal professor in the province of pen and paper! I thought this was gonna be one of those classic indy singles that would never get repressed, but lucky for the have-nots, we get this...   click for more

I cut records in morse code. I'm mentally retarded but I choose my own wardrobe' I jerk off in my cereal. You couldn't even fuck with the grand imperial' I love this shit. A tour de force by producer/dj/emcee Edan. The debut...   click for more

This three song 12" showcases the contained madness of Edans world. The real treat on here is the amazing 12" re-recording of "Syllable Practice." Over a bouncing guitar hook he dumps about 5 rhymes per line, doubling up words and painting convoluted...   click for more

Among a myriad of other talents, Edan has a major knack for two things: mastering outdated production techniques and writing some of the most oddball hilarious songs we've ever come across. The kid has also got genuine microphone and turntable skills, but...   click for more
