“Suff Sells” is his third album after “Hi-Hat Club Vol.2 – Suff Draft” and “Gin Diaries”. Features by Miles Bonny, Elzhi, Phat Kat, Fleur Earth, Vertual Vertigo, Twit One and Hulk Hodn.

Suff Daddy songs have been used in Adidas commercials and can be heard in the UK cult series “Shameless” and tv programs like the German science magazine “Gallileo”.

Suff Daddy has produced and remixed artists like Gulity Simpson, Phat Kat, Sola Rosa, Flo Mega and Morlockk Dilemma.

On “Suff Sells” he is giving the fans what they want: 29 brand-new Suff Daddy joints in a drunken boom bap style. Fueled by crackling old records, weed and sick micro korg licks. A couple of vocals cuts are thrown into the mix too but it’s all about the beats and the vibe here.

Step into the world of Suff Daddy…

Life can be easy when you are Suff Daddy. You get up late and roll a phat one. You switch on your MacBook and chop some samples. Pour yourself a drink and twist the Micro Korg. Upload the track on the MPM server and let it marinate there for a minute. Miles Bonny, Elzhi or Fleur Earth may add some vocals later on. If it is a tuesday night you pack up your gear and head to Beat Geeks, the producer hang-out in Berlin Kreuzberg that you host. If it is a Friday or Saturday chances are good that you jump on the ICE train and head to Cologne, Hamburg, Vienna or Zürich for a gig. You play Splash Festival, Beat BBQ, Hip-Hop Kemp and the Hi-Hat Club and do tours with Miles Bonny. No matter where you go, people welcome you with free weed and liqour. You hang out with your producer friends Brenk Sinatra, Twit One, Dexter, DJ Day or Hulk Hodn and talk beats, rhymes and life. When your new record is ready, HHV pre-order a 1.000 + copies and produce a free t-shirt. You sign sponsorship deals with the San Diego Padres, Tanqueray, Carhartt and Louis Vuitton…

Greeen Linez - Things That Fade CD (DISKOTOPIA)

Written By 1 - September 18 2012

Available here on CD

Greeen Linez is a collaboration between Chris Greenberg (from the British electronic pop band Hong Kong In The 60s) and UK-born/Tokyo-based DJ/producer A Taut Line (aka Matt Lyne, co-founder of the Diskotopia label). The project combines the '90s dance music and R&B that soundtracked Chris and Matt's childhoods with the '70s/'80s jazz-funk and synthesizer soundtracks that they have obsessed over in the years since. All of this is filtered through the cocktail of retro pop, fusion and supermarket muzak that Matt has been exposed to during his time in Japan. Following last year's self-titled EP on Diskotopia, as well as remixes for Mau'lin (also on Diskotopia), Darkhouse Family (on Earnest Endeavours), BD1982 (on B.YRSLF Division) and Mi Ami (for a Japanese 100% Silk compilation) , Things That Fade is the debut full-length release from Greeen Linez. The album is a cinematic journey through a fantasy world of music, both familiar and unreal, and as perfectly suited to bedroom dreamers as it is to nightclub dancers.

Various - Spiritual Jazz Vol. 3 (JAZZMAN)

Written By 1 - September 17 2012

Available Here on 2LP

‘Esoteric, modal and deep jazz from the European undergound, 1963-72′

At the end of the ’50s, Miles Davis’ Kind of Blue heralded the revelatory arrival of modal jazz. As the vibrations of these giant steps resonated across the world, European jazz musicians reassessed their bearings and began to steer a new course. Across the continent they sent roots down into the rich soil of the European folk and Christian liturgical traditions, extended their music along ancient routes of communication and trade to the Middle East, and reached across the crumbling ramparts of the European empires to the music of Asia Africa and Latin America.

The music collected here follows the richly tangled threads of meditative, modal and religious European jazz. Picking up where Spiritual Jazz 2: Europe left off, with volume 3 continuing our excavation of private releases, underrepresented artists and visionary one-offs that stud the European jazz landscape like standing stones. Just as it had waxed, so the cult of American jazz waned, and these recordings are the compelling documents of a musical world in imaginative transition and virtuoso transformation – a second trail of determined footprints on the pathways of European jazz.

THE MUSIC Sublime choral jazz in an ecclesiastical setting, revolutionary sounds deep within the USSR, radical modal experiments inspired by excursions to the Asian continent and Latin America, advances in rhythm and sound where modern jazz combines with Balkan and Scandinavian folk traditions. This is Spiritual Jazz – European style.

Tracklist with sound clips:

A1 Jef Gilson – Untitled A2 Hermann – Gehlen Kyrie A3 Palle Mikkelborg – Mongolia A4 Michel Roques – Le Temps A5 Babs Robert – Pro Forma I B1 That’s Why – Udoyeleg B2 Binder Quintet – Vasvirág B3 Crescendo Quintet Variations on the Azerbajian Mugam ‘Chargiakh’ B4 Dusko Goykovic – Macedonian Fertility Dance B5 Albert Mangelsdorff – Sakura Waltz C1 Yoki Freund – Aisha C2 Jan Allan – Odins Oga C3 Dennis Wiley – Barrio Chino C4 Full Moon Ensemble – Samba Miaou D1 Louis Xavier – Suite D2 Antithesis Haze’s – Dance

Häzel - The Lost Tapes (THE BEAT DOWN)

Written By 1 - September 14 2012

 

Available here on CD, here on LP

Following the success of his debut EP “Playground” on Onra’s imprint, Catblock Records, Parisian producer Häzel is back with The Lost Tapes, a 21 track beat opus compiled from his extensive catalog. With collaborations from Drake, Slakah the Beatchild, & Ebrahim, The Lost Tapes is far from a simple compilation of instrumentals and features, it’s an album in the truest sense of the word, crafted with painstaking attention to detail. Longtime collaborator & friend Ebrahim selected, arranged and mastered each track to blend seamlessly together, creating an album deserving to be experienced in its entirety by the listener. Combining punchy basslines with crisp snares and deep kicks, Häzel’s music gives a nod to the signature style of those who inspired and came before him, Hip Hop producers who breathed soul into their sound. The incredible artwork was conceived and developed by Mikael Colombu (videographer & director for Bilal, The Weeknd, Cee-Lo, Onra & more) The Lost Tapes is the debut release from Brooklyn record label The Beat Down. To learn more about the artist, listen to the release and view upcoming projects from the label visit www.the-beatdown.com
