After I saw a guy walking past, wearing a “J Dilla Saved My Life” shirt (yea they still sport those. . .) I remembered a release from last year that I want to share with you. Not to diss the lost US prodigy but to show that the world holds more great beat-creators. This time it’s a little compilation from my neighbouring country Belgium:
 |
Infiniteskills (Eric P., LuiGi & Pat Gonzalez, the laid-back.be inhouse production team) collected a total of 12 tracks from 9 Belgian beat-producers including themselves, and put out a 12″ through Rush Hour at the end of 2007. With most of the physical copies gone they decided in 2008 to release the mp3s for free!
If you want to take a break from all the glitchy cut-up electronic stuff, you’ve got 37mins of chilled out bliss right here. Soulful sampled loops and drums with the occasional fat synthy bass is what these Belgians are all about. Don’t mistake the smoothness of this package with softness, the drums keep rolling steady all over the sampled foundation.
A lil’ extra is also included in the package: a promo video containing some nice diggin’ footage stylishly put together and a couple of US cameo’s!
Tracklist:
Eric P. – Is this the end?
Versatell – Clap ya hands
Ame – I Hope that I
