More heat on the killer 777 series... this time, man of the moment JEREMIAH JAE (Warp) shares lazy minutes of 7"space with another exciting L.A. talent, ZEROH...as before limited edition silk screen sleeves.......!

Rapster/BBE is thrilled to announced that the forthcoming edition of their Beat Generation series will be handled by none other than the legendary Madlib.

Fitting comfortably into a series whose previous contributors include the late Jay Dee, DJ Jazzy Jeff, and Pete Rock, Madlib delivers one of his most straight forward neck snapping hip-hop outings to date. WLIB AM: King of the Wigflip will feature Talib Kweli, Murs, Guilty Simpson, Oh No, MED, and many more, and will be out September 30th on Rapster/BBE.

Düstere, kratzige Beats treffen auf clevere, unkonventionelle Inhalte. Die gemeinsame Platte von Sylabil Spill und DJ Ara, "Miami Vice Bescheid". Sylabil Spill thematisiert die geistige Versklavung der heutigen Gesellschaft durch die Medien oder die Industrie. Der Titel ist eine Anlehnung der 80er TV-Serie "Miami Vice", in der zwei Protagonisten im Neo-Noir-Stil Verbrechern und Drogenhändlern den Garaus machten. Die Produktion übernahm DJ Ara, der durch seine EP "DJ Ara macht Negabass mit...." sowie als Teil der legendären Wuppertaler Rap-Gruppe Walkin' Large eine feste Größe innerhalb der Musikszene in Deutschland ist.

Mr Selfish himself gibt sich die Ehre: Lance Butters eröffnet auf dem Splash! Festival am 12. Juli, mit seiner neuen "futureshit" EP, das Feuer. Wie schon in der "Selfish" EP, ist ein Blunt das einzige Blatt, dass Lance Butters vor den Mund nimmt. Auf "futureshit" treffen harte Beats auf harte Texte. Die EP will mit dem Kopf durch die Wand, scheiß drauf, ob das ganze Haus einstürzt, "es geht um Geld, Drogen, Groupies und Sex".

CMC & Silenta are back with another remix EP from their album "Get it on Now". The EP, released on vinyl, includes three hot club tracks from the original album plus three remixes on the B-Side.
The remixes are starting with "Yeah That's Right" from new uprising stars: The Phunk Junkies. Kotch, one of the Junkies, gained massive attention last year with his Buccovina glitch-hop styled remix that was played by every DJ in the scene. Label boss for Skanky Panky Records, William Breakspear, whose known for his K-Lab remixes and collaborations with Ashley Slater, shows us his interpretation of "This is How We Rollin''. And Funk Ferret, from world of Ghetto Funk, took "Big Up Booty" and transformed it from a deep bass rocker to a funky breaks monster.

Eight weeks on top of the Junodownload charts and three weeks on top of the Beatport breakbeat charts, CMC & Silenta's album has certainly made an impression on the breakbeat community. It has been featured by all big radio stations in Germany & the UK, including BBC1, the Graig Charles funk and soul show on BBC6, Das Ding, Corso @ Deutschland Funk, Radio Fritz and all big collage radios at Germany, UK, USA, Canada and Australia. It's also been written about in iDJ Magazine in the UK and Spain, Playboy Magazine in Hungary, Backspin, Subculture and other national magazines in Germany.

The third ep by the Durian Brothers is called "Cubs" ep and completes the trilogy of first recordings by the Brothers to express their unique vision of a rough and direct club music that has its roots in minimal techno, noise and ethnic trance music. Like its precursors, it comes in a foldout silkscreened cover; the cover artwork is again taken from a medicine book of the 1920s and reflects the durian brothers
aestheticsof dense, analogue black and whiteness.

Als Gäste sind Havoc (Mobb Deep), Jazzy Jeff, Big Pooh (Little Brother), Blu, Raheem DeVaughn und andere dabei. Die Produktionen stammen von T3, Young RJ und Focus.

MAGNA CARTA HOLY GRAIL ist JAY-Zs
Beim neuen Album arbeitete er u.a. mit Rick Rubin, Timbaland, Pharrell und Swizz Beats zusammen. Als Feature Gast ist bereits Justin Timberlake bestätigt. Die Fans können es kaum erwarten, denn die ersten Beats, die Jay-Z in einem Trailer zum Album vorstellte, haben es in sich!

Der erfolgreichste Rapper der letzten zwölf Monate haut wieder auf den Putz. Ohne übertriebenenes Waffengelaber. Gold- und Platin-Platten, zwei Echos, den Bambi, die 1Live Krone, fast zwei Millionen Facebook Fans, ausverkaufte Touren und Konzerte in [L] CD 12 | 000er Venues. Das alles innerhalb von einem Jahr und independent. Hands down. Was sagt Cro dazu Whatever. Genau 1 Jahr nach Veröffentlichung des Albums "Raop" (am

Platz da, hier kommen Hade und DWFL mit ihrem ersten Album, das den schönen Titel "The Healthiest Man In Chicago" trägt. Die beiden Superproduzenten aus Köln machen nicht Aerobic, sondern Beats und Basslinestepper. Und man kann sagen, dass sie das ziemlich gut drauf haben. Hade und DWFL (kurz für Dumpwater Florida) sind so etwas wie die schwarzen Schafe der Kölner Beatszene. Während es die meisten ihrer Kollegen staubig mögen, ziehen die beiden ihre Beats durch den Fluxkompensator und brauen eine obergärige Mischung aus Juke, Footwork, Chicago House und britischer Bassmusik. Trotzdem (oder genau deshalb) haben sie alle lieb. Vielleicht auch weil bei Hade + DWFL jede Menge Rap in der Metaebene liegt. Ziemlich sensationell ist auch das ebenfalls selbstproduzierte Video zur Single "The Healthiest Man In Chicago". Als weitere Referenz sei auf ihre Remixe für Hafti, Mieux und BRZZVLL verwiesen. Ansonsten gilt: Platte auflegen, Volume aufpumpen und steil gehen!

"Video is ILL. Track is ILL." - Ta-ku (Australia)
"Great stuff. That video is bananas too. Love this!" - Lefto (Laid Back Radio Show, Brussels)

Superb record. Dancefloor and musical, melting abstract Dub with Ragga and Blues, coming deep from newstyles and Peng Sound Familly... At least something really good comes out :! LUV THIS !

Ein neues Ohrbooten-Album steht in den Startlöchern. "Alles Für Alle Bis Alles Alle ist" heißt es. Was für ein Motto! Da wird aus den Vollen geschöpft. Die Ohrbooten haben die Erfahrungen und Eindrücke der letzten bewegenden Jahre fein säuberlich gesammelt und das gemacht, was sie am besten können: sie haben sie zu Liedern verarbeitet. Nach dem Motto, keine Wiederholung - was Neues wird gemacht, haben sie schon immer gehandelt. Und es ist erneut ein außerordentliches Vergnügen, so eine volle Ladung Ohrbootenmusik zu tanken!

Second release on UpMyAlley's whitelabel offshoot, first release for Crack Ignaz (Hanuschplatzflow) who delivers 2 disturbingly fresh tracks that should do well with fans of Lil B, A$AP Rocky, Main Attrakionz or Clams Casino. Production by Lex Lugner, comes with Vocal & Instrumental Versions.

Retrogott (Retrogott & Hulk Hodn / Huss & Hodn) lernte den in Santiago de Chile lebenden Brous One über eine Musik-Internetplattform kennen, auf der man sich über Beats und Samples austauschte. Bereits kurze Zeit später steuerte der damals erst 14-jährige Brous One einen Beat für den Track "Keiner hat's gesehen" von Huss & Hodns erstem selbstgebrannten Album "Unprofessionelle Musik" bei. Die Freundschaft der beiden wuchs und während eines sechsmonatigen Aufenthalts des Retrogotts bei Brous Ones Familie in Recoleta, Santiago de Chile nutzte man die Zeit und nahm eine Reihe von Tracks auf Retrogotts mitgebrachtem digitalem 4-Tracker auf, die nun auf "Mote Con Huesillos" zu finden sind.

FREDDIE CRUGER's debut album under his RED ASTAIRE alias originally out in 2007 now re-mastered and re-issued. Some of the classic reggae inspired, hip hop and R&B sampling songs first released on G.A.M.M. (all long out of print) plus several exclusive to this LP. A downtempo classic is back!

Supported by Gilles Peterson, Benji B, Rich Medina,
With a reputation built on his original style and refusal to hop on any industry bandwagon, Ty is best known for his lyrical frankness and honest portrayals of everyday life, setting him aside from many mainstream hip hop acts and allowing him complete artistic independence. This has led to the release of four successful albums and a Mercury Prize nomination, among many high profile plaudits.
After gaining notoriety on the London underground scene Ty signed to Big Dada records in 2001, the same year his mighty debut album 'Awkward' was released. The union between the artist and label
saw a further two albums - 2003's Mercury-nominated 'Upwards' and 'Closer' (2006) - released over
five years.
Since his fourth solo album, 'Special Kind of Fool', was released in 2010 via BBE records, Ty has featured and collaborated with many artists stretching from America to France. Closer to home, Ty
features on a tribute to the late Amy Winehouse, released in early 2012, and most recently recorded a track with former Radio 1 DJ and producer Kissy Sell Out.
A lifelong love of hip hop has seen the honest speaking South Londoner gain skills in sound
engineering and producing, the latter leading to work with Scratch Perverts, Talib Kweli, Blak Twang
and Arrested Development.

Ty is also known for his work as a spoken word artist. Earlier this year he was asked to perform
and host workshops for the British Council, which culminated in the conclusion of a 35 year halt
on international performers in the Sudanese town of Port Sudan. As well as this, his spoken
word efforts have seen Ty put in performances at The Big Chill Festival and The Royal Albert
Hall. Alongside his work with the British Council Ty is also a member of The HipHop Shakespeare
Company, running workshops with young people, showing the influences and works of Shakespeare
in today's music scene.

From humble origins in Detroit, raised on a healthy diet of Motown, Jazz, and Early Hip Hop - Terrel Wallace (aka Tall Black Guy) has become a standard bearer for the current hip hop beats scene. Through a steady stream of productions filled with incredibly clever sample flips and deft production chops, he has won fans across the world, including Gilles Peterson (who included him on one of his Brownswood Bubblers albums), Lefto, Anthony Valadez and countless others. With the tangible beginnings of worldwide recognition, Tall Black Guy has established himself to be one of the most influential producers working today.

8 Miles To Moenart has literally brought Tall Black Guy full circle. Detroit was where he started making music, and it's to his hometown he returns to draw inspiration for his debut album. Taking in low-slung hip hop, downtempo house and jazz-tinged street soul, it's a record of rare focus. It encapsulates the musical heritage of Detroit, through the looking glass of Tall Black Guy's own signature sound.

Dope D.O.D. is a Dutch hip-hop crew that puts strong vocal lines on heavy aggressive beats. The name originates from Mc Dopey Rotten (DOPE) and Skits Vicious & Jay Reaper (Duo of Darkness). These three outspoken characters teamed up and they stand out by being their remarkable selves. Language is clearly no barrier for Dutch hip-hop collective Dope D.O.D. For the past year, they have been at the forefront of a budding European hip-hop scene. Their sound can be described as 'a new realm of hardcore hip hop with classic styles and European electronic sound thrown in the mix.'

Blaues Blut ist Battle of the Year mit rotem Faden verteilt auf die 16 Tracks der Standard, bzw. 20 Tracks der Blue Magic Edition! Produziert in den Hitschmieden von Produes, Bo Diggler, MMinx u.a.! Featuring Silla, Jihad & Animus!

Mit dem letzten Album "Hinter blauen Augen" leitete FLER die Ära des "BLU MAGIC" ein: Ein neuer Sound , ein neuer Look ein neuer FLER!
Diese Ära wird nun fortgesetzt um Deutschrap und seinen Fans zu zeigen was Rap im grossen Sinne bedeutet. In einer Zeit in der die eine Seite der Szene, sich in der peinlichen Popwelt Zuhause fühlt und die andere Seite im Strassenrap gefangen bleibt, beschreitet Fler neue Wege im Hiphop-Business. Gegen den Neid und Hass der deutschen Gesellschaft , gegen die Vorurteile der Medien und Internetforen , gegen die Gerüchte der Hater und die Intrigen der Ex-Freunde , lässt Fler auf diesem Album keine Fragen mehr offen. "Blaues Blut" wird im Jahr 2013 jedem geben was er verdient hat und damit Maskulin auf das nächst höhere Level hieven.

Limited, hand-stamped jacket, colored-vinyl release

'Fragile Things' is the Ubiquity debut by French producer Dandy Teru. As part of the burgeoning 'Beat Scene', in France, and with inclusion in fellow beatmaker Tall Black Guy's 'Tempo Dreams Vol.1' for Bastard Jazz, Dandy Teru's signature, cinematic production style has established himself as a producer to take note of, and one that's to be 'watched'. Featuring British rapper Ty and vocals by Sarah Gessler (Beatspoke) as well as a remix by his production partner Quiet Dawn, this limited 12' single provides a great 'taster' of what's yet to come.

The fifth volume in our Luv N'Haight Edit Series is a certified 'BANGER' with re-works of Luv N'Haight's legendary Darondo by beat wunderkinds Tall Black Guy and Dandy Teru.

Producer Tall Black Guy is already well-known in the 'beat scene', gaining notoriety for his remixes of James Brown, Al Green and the Jackson 5 being the most notable. With tons of followers and love from tastemakers such as Gilles Peterson, TBG was the perfect pick to edit Darondo. His take on 'Sure Know How To Love Me' is reminiscent of his work on James Brown's 'I Feel Good', taking the slightest of vocal and melodic samples from the original and crafting a backbeat and bassline that can be best described as 'bangin'. The result is a head-nodding, classic, soul-sample hip-hop tune.

Dandy Teru's remix of Darondo's 'True' showcases a similar ability to TBG in the sense that they both take absolutely minimal parts from the original and use them as 'texture' and craft the essential rhythm on their own. Teru's smooth style is 'dirtied up' a bit as he uses drums taken from the original and adds Darondo's sparse vocal samples to create a hip-hop tune that's more 'new beat' than classic but bangin' nonetheless. With his 'Fragile Things 12' and a full album on it's way from Ubiquity Records, 2013 will be Dandy Teru's year so be on the lookout!

Jonas Schiefferdecker, known by the stage name of Joney, is an experimental multi-genre music producer, drummer and laptop musician from Hamburg, Germany. He took his first drum lessons at the age of five, and started playing in bands and orchestras by the time he attended high school. His musical influences range from the old jazz masters to the latest bass music producers. Since 2010, Joney has been releasing a broad variety of productions and remixes, ranging from jazz influenced drum and bass, to garage or glitch and trap influenced bass music, to house and techno club tunes. His close association to the Golden Pudel Club and the hanseatic crews named Eat The Beat and ill, both still gaining momentum with their involvement in any kind of underground activities, is seen as seal of quality by many of the cities punters. In December 2012 he released 'oh Allright' as the main title on Pudel Produkte 18 and a split single with Rampue on Audiolith as well as the digital 'illowhead' on Saturate!

North Sea Jazz, Sonar, SXSW, Popkomm, Soul Nation, Capetown Jazz). Auf einer ihrer Tourneen durch Europa traf Melodee auf das spanische Produzententeam von Cookin Soul, die sich nicht nur in ihrer Heimat mit über 200 Produktionen für Mac Miller, Redman, Dom Kennedy oder Pusha T einen Namen gemacht haben.

Shuko is a German producer, born in 1981, who has been making music since
1999. He lives and works in an old factory buildingin a small village near
Frankfurt unless he is in Paris, Berlin or New York working with your
favorite artist. Shuko has produced music for a broad and impressive
selection of artists such as Talib Kweli, Lil Wayne, Sexion d'Assaut, 1995,
Cro, Kollegah and Casper.

2013 started off great for the experienced Producer. Having released his
well-received instrumental album Sleepless, the title seems to be a
characterization that perfectly applies to Shuko. With help from California
native Blu and the young lyricist Kidaf out of New York City Shuko is ready
to drop a vocal version of Sleepless called The Awakening EP. The
record lists five tracks with a perfect mix of lyrics as well as
instrumentaltracks and therefor meets the needs of a large audience. Dope
lyrics to vibe to and fresh tunes that ensure enough freedom for MCs
looking to be creative.

Fear Of The Unknown
They are afraid of new ideas
They're loaded with prejudices not based upon anything in reality.
But based on: 'if something is new I reject it immediately because it is frightening to me'
What they do instead is just stay with the familiar You know, to us the most beautiful things in all the universe ...Are the most Mysterious...
Led by heavy wobbly basslines and pulsing synth pads, 'Fear of the Unknown' exhibits a dark yet airy approach to beat-driven electronic music, injecting each song with an unmistakable groove and flow. Striking atmospheric breakdowns facilitate transitions among the infectious beat movements, while subtle glitches and echoing snares accentuate the overall flow of each song. Sometimes brooding, sometimes wondrous, Atiq & EnK's '
'Fear of the Unknown' manages to hold the listener's attention throughout with a steady and cohesive tapestry of expansive beatwork, contorted melodies, and enveloping atmospheres that all seem effortless and natural to these talented new Dutch sound designers. A remarkable and impressive debut, 'Fear of the Unknown' burrows deep into the subconscious and ascends into an unknown inner universe. They proved that electronic music is a never-ending universe of possibilities, but some are just wandering in it and others are experiencing it. Their album 'Fear of Unknown' is the perfect example of it.
Are you afraid of the unknown, or will you embrace it
