"Dirty Talkin'"

Oh so smooth... This track is off of a nice UK comp, but keep an eye out for imprintafter's new album on Shoeboxx Recordings this fall. 

Grande Marshall

Smooth like G-Funk era with some down South in it. GM from Philly, backed by A-Trak and them.

Smooooth. 

Ski Beatz

Not a household name, except among hip hop heads, Ski Beatz did a bunch of production for Jay-Z's Reasonable Doubt. Yeah, it's like that. He's been busy lately. This project, Endless Summer, with Tabi Bonney is slick, and there's an EP with Camp Lo he just did. I'm really feeling the opening tune, "On Jupiter." 

Time "5th Horseman"

Digging this on the smooth and introspective tip. Time is from Denver. Beat by Tall City.

Watch the Couch

I can't remember whether I posted something about this at the time, but if I didn't shame on me, and if I did, then you know it's worthy of some more love. This "Watch the Couch" project dropped the same week as the slightly better known Watch the Throne, thanks to Superbuddah, a collaboration between ATL underground heads Ethereal and Spacebar. The second cut off the EP is a favorite of mine recently - it's got this ATCQ vibe translated into a post-Madlib hip hop aesthetic. This is a smooth classic. Don't sleep. The whole thing is solid from front to back.

Jesse Futerman

This Canadian producer keeps it smooth and funky. His EP got a significant endorsement from BBC 1's Gilles Peterson. Great organic feel to Futerman's Super Basement EP.

Soda Pop

If you want to get your retro-lo-fi pop groove on at some point...or you're a fiend for smooth french girl music sung in English...or you know who France Gall is...then you'll be into this track from Soda Pop.

Hackney Colliery Band

Check out this dose of smoothness from across the pond.


Get more info on their label Wah Wah 45s and check out a 7" they have for sale. There's also a more extensive explanation of the band's background.

S.A.M. - Swag Shop

Maf and Smooth collab as S.A.M. and this track "Swag Shop" is just about the most Cadillac-ready piece of slickness I've heard in a while...Go ahead and drive slow to this. Creases so sharp you'll cut yourself.

Video: Numaad "Now"

This joint is soooo smoooooth.

Flying Lotus "Heave(n)"

Just take a deep breath and marinate on this hazy groove, a lost and found track from Flying Lotus that he dropped seemingly at random, unrelated to any sort of album or whatever. Thanks for sharing.

I found this thanks to Fader.

Reggie Watts

Looping and layering live beatboxing, then singing on top of it. This is an excellent way to start the day. Reggie Watts is a smooth operator.
