Hashquatch Truly heralds that classic beat styling we all know. Lengthy beats with enough space to let the groove really settle in and get ya fanny movin.

EddouXL keep it going mane!!! Favorite track: Seabright Strut.

It was the first time that I have listen to Boom Bap and I got surprised from this fantastic Artist. I want more.
And now I will relax. Favorite track: Candied Yams.

Saul Karnovsky
Here is a master beat smith at work.
His loops are equal parts meditative and groove driven. You’ll find yourself lost in their rhythm, head nodding as each track breathes languidly along. Can’t wait to here more from a very talented dude. Favorite track: Take 1.

YallDontHearMe UPDATE: this still bangs!

Absolutely immaculate. Those candied yams are something else. Seriously rich just listen to hibiscus. Favorite track: Timbouktou.

about

Creating in accordance with the tenets of boom-bap music, Eddou XL is known to marry loops and breaks with certain aplomb. His new album No Mistakes in Jazz finds him, instead, bringing deep crates to the musical proving ground commonly known as “the woodshed.” By applying the improvisational techniques of acoustic musicianship and ensemble practice to electronic samplers, Eddou XL is able to reimagine the time-honored music of the jazz canon through a delicate mosaic of raw, appropriately dusty and sometimes obscure jazz samples. Tailored to uphold hip-hop’s long-standing relationship with breakbeats, No Mistakes in Jazz is a soundscape where methodical drum patterns reinforce buttery melodies and dissonant chords alike with requisite funk. Found sounds mingle with crisp, hyaloid phrases and a murky bottom register to a surprisingly ethereal result. Each track on No Mistakes in Jazz is sourced from recordings that demonstrate the diverse range of eras and styles encompassed by the jazz genre. The album produced using the SP-303, vinyl loops and 808 accents, is the first full-length release from Eddou XL to feature this linear, free-form approach to recording programmed beats with “on-the-fly” edits. The end product is a dynamic and aesthetically unique body of work that stands as a much more forward, playful and contemporary take on a sound that has featured prominently throughout his catalog since the very first release. The genius of No Mistakes in Jazz is Eddou XL’s decision to align his own creative process with the creative freedom inherent in the culture of jazz. In doing so, he discovers a brilliant universe, as with the aforementioned tradition, in which no color is incorrect.

Shitao is only charging a dollar for a whole album of evocative, precise, lovingly-produced hip-hop beat-making. The tracks do tend to be a little funereal, but when they work, they work well. I'd like to hear Shitao push the tension and funk in future releases because the skills are definitely there. spatchcock
