There's a Surprise in Every Box

A taste of the Buffalo, NY producer's forthcoming album. Groove Cereal has got those stone cold soul flips. [Update] Surprise in Every Box is out now (Pay What You Want).

Breakmaster Cylinder

S/O to Babyshoe for putting me onto BMC. This guy has been consistently winning the Stones Throw forum beat battles and hails from Denver. Chops like these it's no wonder how he's a crowd favorite. But it's crazy how deep the city is getting with producers. Every time I think I've found everybody, someone new pops up. 

"Hidden Basement"

In the low-key, jazz-sampling beat idiom, there are few doing it more proper than Jesse Futerman. His new project, Hidden Basement, is up on Bandcamp now.

"Our Secret"

Sweatson Klank gets his 80s R&B flip on with stellar results.

"Hemlock"

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

Sample Origins #62

Booker T. & the MGs provided the backbone for Gravediggaz "1-800-Suicide"

Then speed it up and loop it. 

MHz "World Premier"

One of El-P's favorite sample flips. Super smooth'n'easy take on the Stones' "Monkey Man." 

MHz = Copywrite and Camu Tao.
