The innovative & creative, Norwegian producer "Torb The Roach" teams up with "Floppy MacSpace" for their second album and 8-bit video game, "Square Wave Adventures".

There are strains of underground hip hop that predict the mainstream's future or find themselves in conversation with its present. Then there's the one that branches out from the rest with something mystifying, creative, unusual, avant-garde and ingenious to create an uncanny character, "Floppy Mac Space".

The dramatic events leading up to the making of Torb and Floppy's 1st album, "Tape Echo: Gold Floppies", were chronicled in a film released with the album. WATCH >>

In the new "Square Wave Adventures" game the drama continues and this time you can partake in the action! The game is pure 8-bit video game madness. The plot is set in a futuristic retro dystopia. SuperMonster has captured Torb The Roach and, with him locked away, deploys his weapons of mass production to enforce a terrible reign of uninspired musical excess. As the last hope, Mac Space disembarks on a heroic quest to free Torb and save the universe from eternal monotony. Urged onward by the thumping rhythms and hypnotic basslines from the soundtrack, Floppy battles his way through SuperMonster's minions and agents of evil towards an inevitable final showdown with SuperMonster himself!

The album, which is the soundtrack to the game, showcases the duo's signature sound combining 12-bit drum machines, samples & classic synths, such as the Minimoog and Yamaha Dx7. Square waves have been tossed into the broiling brew of sounds as well, resulting in a full palate of new and surprising acoustic flavors!

The 10 level, 8-bit video game, made in collaboration with programming whiz Nils "Nilski" Nordmark, can be played online for free at Squarewaveadventures

A monumental Ibizan anthem and one of the biggest releases on Hot Creations to date, Back & Forth is the next collaboration from the indomitable duo of DJ Sneak and Jesse Perez. The release also features vocals from KE with colossal remixes from the mighty Ricardo Villalobos and rising talent DJ Lukke.

Back & Forth is a number reminiscent of the 90s with its broken drum beat and spoken word lyrics. Speaking of the release, Sneak himself says that he wanted to create 'a street smart dance floor track with powerful latino sounds and all the right ingredients for a club banger'.

Young Brazilian talent DJ Lukke is first to remix, co-produced alongside Blakkat aka Mark Bell, he adds a percussive tribal twist and rumbling bassline. Ricardo Villalobos takes his version to a whole new dimension like only he can, with weird and wonderful soundscapes enhanced by glitchy, distorted vocal hooks. A video of the Chilean maestro playing the original recently went viral, building further hype around the release.

House gangster DJ Sneak has been at the forefront of dance music since the early 90s. He's had records signed to highly esteemed labels including Classic, Snatch! and Magnetic, as well as running his own influential imprint I'm A House Gangster. Miami playboy and Mr Nice Guy Records boss Jesse Perez has released an abundance of music on labels like Edible, Toolroom, BPitch Control and Do Not Sleep. Ricardo Villalobos needs little introduction. A firm favourite amongst DJs and club-goers alike, his career has seen him play countless notorious parties and festivals, with prolific productions seen on seminal labels including Perlon, Dekmantel and Mosaic.

Inspired by Ultraman and Norwegian nature, Torb the Roach and Floppy McSpace joined forces and cooked up their instrumental debut. The result, Tape Echo Gold Floppies. It tick-les your senses with low fidelity rhythms, time warping space echo, rare world spices and psychedelic field recordings.

Along with the project they've also released a 15- minute motion picture revealing the ex-traordinary story of how the record came to be, a dramatic piece involving ski accidents, black coffee magic and brutal fight scenes.

The album is a combination of beats from the SP1200/S950 combo as well as dubs & ef-fects from the Roland 201 Space Echo. Torb collects rare, obscure, world funk and rare groove records from India, Thailand, China & Japan. There are a bunch of dusty loops on the record made from his digs.


The cover design is a mix of hand drawn illustrations, pictures of equipment and a picture of Floppy McSpace by Ocht & Torb.

‘Friday Forever’ is the second album from multi-artist project
Everything Is Recorded, helmed by producer artist Richard Russell.
This follows the critically acclaimed and Mercury Music Prize
nominated debut of 2018, ‘Everything Is Recorded’ by Richard
Russell.
 ‘Friday Forever’ takes on a multi-lensed perspective of a classic night
out, followed closely by the sobering reflections of the next morning.
 The album features an array of new collaborators - in British rappers
Aitch, FLOHIO and Berwyn, Irish singer songwriters Maria Somerville
and Kean Kavanagh, the inimitable voices of A.K. Paul, James
Massiah and returning vocalist Infinite Coles - as well as established
names like Ghostface Killah and Penny Rimbaud.
 Also released in April 2020, via White Rabbit, Richard Russell’s
‘Liberation Through Hearing’ - available in hardback, ebook, audio - is
a spiritual journey through music by the Mercury Prize nominated
musician and the man behind some of the world’s biggest recording
artists including Adele, Dizzee Rascal and The Prodigy. ‘Liberation
Through Hearing’ sees Richard Russell telling the remarkable story of
XL Recordings and their three decades on the frontline of innovation
in music; the eclectic chorus of artists who came to define the label’s
unique aesthetic and Russell’s own story; his highs and lows steering
the fortunes of an independent label in a rapidly changing industry,
his celebrated production work with Bobby Womack and Gil ScottHeron on their late-career masterpieces and his own development as
an artist as Everything Is Recorded.
 Always searching for news sounds and new truths, ‘Liberation
Through Hearing’ is a portrait of a man who believes in the spiritual
power of music to change reality. It is also the story of a record label
that refused to be categorised by genre and in the process cut an
idiosyncratic groove which was often underground in feel but
mainstream in impact.
 “Writing this book was an opportunity for me to reflect on the last
few decades. I hope people will get something from it. I’ve tried not
to compromise in anything I’ve done, and that includes writing
‘Liberation Through Hearing’” - Richard Russell

The Diggin In The Crates collective has dropped a new album titled D.I.T.C. Studios Volume 2. The project is produced entirely by longtime member Showbiz.

**Double LP - 180 GRAM** Already Platinum. Impeccable design. Although this is one of the more talked about records of his career, there's no doubt that this is a testament to JAY Z's diligence, entrepreneurship, and artistic vision. Picking up where Watch The Throne left off, Magna Carta Holy Grail is JAY Z's twelfth studio album, and a portrait of an emcee embracing fatherhood, marriage, and striking a balance between a past spent coming up and a future shuffling around the top. The LP also includes a limited edition flexi-disc postcard of exclusive non-album track ''Open Letter'' hidden under the artwork on the back cover. Production is helmed largely by J-Roc, Timbaland, Pharrell Williams, Hit-Boy and others, while featuring performances by Beyoncé, Rick Ross, Justin Timberlake, Frank Ocean, Nas, and more. With MCHG, JAY Z understands that hip hop is starting to enjoy the same clout as fine art and, even better, hip hop is alive, a part of the world, evolving, and not cordoned off in a museum. Play it forward and grab a copy now.

THE SECOND IN THE SERIES OF 7” SURESHOTS!

Stankonia is the fourth studio album by André 3000 and Big Boi, known together as OutKast. While OutKast's previous albums were considered to be laid-back, mellow efforts, Stankonia contains faster, more high-energy tempos, partially to reflect the chaotic times' and drug-related incidents at the turn of the 21st century.

B.O.B', So Fresh, So Clean' and Ms. Jackson' were huge hit singles. Ms. Jackson' became the group's first single to reach number one on the Billboard Hot 100. At the
2002 Grammy Awards, OutKast won Best Rap Album for Stankonia and Best Rap Performance by a duo or group for Ms. Jackson'.

The vinyl edition is limited to 300 copies and comes in a sealed heavy old-fashioned cardboard sleeve. A free download code plus a BJINT logo sticker round up the packaging. We are super excited to welcome Brous One with his new album "Juslikedat" to the BJINT roster. Expect nothing but mellow vibes here like the introduction on the title track says: "Juslikedat now chill". Feature guests include Retrogott, Hulk Hodn & Greco Murillo and the photography on front shows Brous' deep love Vero. Enjoy!

The compilation album is a rite of passage for elite hip-hop producers. We rightfully revere the classics: Marley Marl’s In Control Vol. 1, Pete Rock’s Soul Survivor, Hi-Tek’s Hi-Teknology, J Dilla’s Welcome to Detroit, and The Neptunes’ Clones. Or in more recent years, the gems reaped from the Mello Music Cinematic Universe: Apollo Brown’s The Reset, Oddisee 101, and L’Orange’s The Ordinary Man. In that timeless lineage, you can add another one with Elaquent’s, Forever is a Pretty Long Time.

As with all brilliant producer compilation albums, the Guelph, Ontario-based Elaquent vividly constructs his own world. It’s the hip-hop equivalent of that old question: who would you want to invite to your dream dinner party if you had the chance? But instead, it’s the lab, and the visitors include a murderer’s row of underground MCs including Oddisee, Blu, Chester Watson, Cavalier, and Guilty Simpson. The curation is impeccable, but more than that, it creates its own orphic sense of magic. After all, art is closer to voodoo than science, and here, the rappers sound legitimately inspired by the productions. It’s an album possessed with smoke-wreathed jazz cool and urgent immediacy -- as though as soon as the artists heard the instrumentals, they immediately set pad to pen.

“I’ve always wanted to do this type of record, but it never felt right to do until now,” Elaquent explains. “Most of my instrumental albums would feature only one or two collaborations, and only then for a change of pace. But this time, I really wanted to challenge myself to do something a little different and showcase what I can do with a number of my favorite artists.”

First up is a reinvention from Coby Sey - the Lewisham, South London musician who's founded the Curl collective alongside Mica Levi and Brother May and collaborated with Babyfather, Klein and Tirzah, noted as one of the 50 best new artists of 2019 by the guardian. The tone and atmospherics of the original’s combination of synthesiser and woodwind are sliced into ghostly, mesmeric fragments and refitted in layers around loping, propulsive rhythms with something like UKG's steppiness - languid despite being uptempo, bright and almost gleeful despite the inescapable mournfulness of the source material.

Who’s The Technician? of Ireland's Wah Wah Wino label - turns in a remix that wrestles with the original over seven- and-a-half-minutes of relentlessly captivating deep digi-dancehall, less of a remix than a rebirth cycle, with the latent soul-splitting lament of Kolida Babo’s duduk copy-pasted onto a delirious mercurial lead rotating through hedonistic ecstasy and burnout, a snake-eating-its-own-tail of a version cracking open the third eye with a crowbar, plus a post- apocalyptic, ruthlessly space-invading dub that blasts the remix’s scale out to the starkest retreats of the universe in search of...

Kutmah closes off a series of 10 inches started back in 2010 from the cream opf L.A. Beatmakers. ... He was supposed to be on that batch of releases but for reasons well documented he had other priorities during that year.

We're delighted to finally welcome the esoteric beat wizard on board with "New Appliance" - as expected from such a singular talent this is a super strong ep, a diverse fusion of his classic beat styles and a signpost to a new departure using all his wave, noise & punk influences.

Early Independent Hip Hop, Electro And Disco Rap 1979-83!!

Soul Jazz Records' new Boombox 2 is a new selection of early rap music from the period 1979-83, with barely a household name in sight. Featured here are some the earliest hip-hop records that came out of New York City following the enormous commercial success of the first ever rap record, 'Rapper's Delight' by the Sugarhill Gang, in September 1979.

Artists and producers alike tried to jump aboard the new commercial possibilities of hip-hop. By the end of the year there were 30 hip-hop singles, all released by independent New York labels. The following year there were over 100 more, and so on.

Boombox 2 tells the story of how hip-hop went from its evolutionary roots in the Bronx through DJs Kool Herc, Grandmaster Flash and Afrika Bambaataa through to its second phase where veteran music producers - Paul Winley, Peter Brown, Joe Robinson and others - all based in Harlem, began to put rap on vinyl for the first time.

Harlem is also where the separate worlds of disco and hip-hop met through the styles and influence of earlier 'uptown' DJs - DJ Hollywood and Eddie Cheba. In similar fashion these veteran Harlem-based producers instinctively tapped into a long lineage of African-American rhythm and blues, soul and disco.

Boombox 2 is a triple-vinyl set (+ download code) LP and double CD pack that features extensive text, exclusive interviews and stunning photography by Jamel Shabazz, Martha Cooper and others.

Parallel zur Veröffentlichung des neuen Albums "Todesverachtung To Go" über Grönland Records, erscheinen auch vier Klassiker der legendären Hip Hop-Formation Kinderzimmer Productions nach langer Zeit wieder neu auf Vinyl: "Die Hohe Kunst Der Tiefen Schläge" (1998), "Wir Sind Da Wo Oben Ist" (2002), "Irgendjemand Muss Doch" (2004) und "Asphalt" (2007).

Jetzt erscheint mit "Todesverachtung To Go" das siebte Album der Kinderzimmer Productions, mit dem sie ihren sehr früh und eigeständig entwickelten Ansatz weiterverfolgen. Teil des Plans ist es, planlos schier endlose Räume zu bauen, in denen sich Bassläufe verirren können, durch die Orgeln spuken, Stimmen abheben und Drums wie Heuballen rollen. Nur hier hat Textor genügend Platz, sich durch ein Niemandsland zwischen Gymnasiastensprech und Battle-Rap zu assoziieren. Es geht um Mehrdimensionalität in Text und Musik, also nicht zwingend, was man sagt, sondern "die Art, in der man Scheiße labert". Und am Ende ist das Rap, wie es immer schon Rap war. "Die Leute dachten, ich mach smarten Rapp, doch ich bin – dödum dödum – 'Shark Attack'!" So rappt es Textor in "Es kommt in Wellen", der ersten Single, einem brummenden, smarten, funkigen, unterhaltsamen Brecher, der anrollt wie zugekiffte Deichkinder und zum "Arsch versohlen mit Badeschlappen" lädt. Als Gäste surfen mit: Fettes Brot, Flo Mega und Fantasma Goria.

Nur hier hat Textor genügend Platz, sich durch ein Niemandsland zwischen Gymnasiastensprech und Battle-Rap zu assoziieren. Es geht um Mehrdimensionalität in Text und Musik, also nicht zwingend, was man sagt, sondern "die Art, in der man Scheiße labert". Und am Ende ist das Rap, wie es immer schon Rap war. "Die Leute dachten, ich mach smarten Rapp, doch ich bin – dödum dödum – 'Shark Attack'!" So rappt es Textor in "Es kommt in Wellen", der ersten Single, einem brummenden, smarten, funkigen, unterhaltsamen Brecher, der anrollt wie zugekiffte Deichkinder und zum "Arsch versohlen mit Badeschlappen" lädt. Als Gäste surfen mit: Fettes Brot, Flo Mega und Fantasma Goria.

Parallel zur Veröffentlichung des neuen Albums "Todesverachtung To Go" über Grönland Records, erscheinen auch vier Klassiker der legendären Hip Hop-Formation Kinderzimmer Productions nach langer Zeit wieder neu auf Vinyl: "Die Hohe Kunst Der Tiefen Schläge" (1998), "Wir Sind Da Wo Oben Ist" (2002), "Irgendjemand Muss Doch" (2004) und "Asphalt" (2007).
