Jesse Futerman

If you like your beats chill and you're not on this Jesse Futerman, you're doing it wrong. This is his newest on Jus Like Music, but there's a whole catalog of gems out there on the interweb. 

"Ascension"

New Tycho = Boards of Canada throwback with a chunkier bassline and plenty of pulse. We're all just floating in the universe. 

eXquire

Stay gully. 

"Hemlock"

Every song should sound like latter-60s Serge Gainsbourg covering Ennio Morricone's rendition of a Beatles tune. 

"In the Dark"

New GLK is bananas. Guard your face. 

Lord Quas

You can't catch up with Madlib no matter how fast you run. New Quasimoto album, Yessir Whatever, is up for pre-sale. 

Hanni El Khatib

This is the raw, loose garage rock of summertime. And what better metaphor for summer is there than a bunch of topless (NSFW) Japanese people racing on motorcycles. He's on tour with the Black Angels starting now. God bless America. 

"Get It"

If I went back in time to 2003 (which was probably right around the time when El-P's Fantastic Damage was in constant rotation) and told myself that 10 years later Killer Mike and El-P would be one of the hottest collabs of the 21st century, I would've told myself to fuck off. Here comes Run the Jewels

"Silver Dream"

This new Man Mantis track is really nice. He's got a knack for ethereal-yet-beat-driven tunes. Reference the "New York Biotropes" video that used a tune of his for the soundtrack.  

Grab a copy of "Silver Dream." 

"Anuk Karakatau"

Do remember those Deeper Concentrations turntablism compilations that came out about 10 years ago? This is like a 21st century addition. 

Atlantics Vol. 3

Astro Nautico is mentioned fondly by future beat fanatics on a regular basis because the label's releases represent with quality and variety. That matters when it comes to the deluge of beats being produced these days. Their newest compilation doesn't disappoint.

Check out the whole album, which is a free download. 

"Bookfiend"

Clams Casino x DOOM is what you'd expect, but cooler.
