New Copy

Genre: Hip Hop - Instrumentals

1. Mike Slott - Home
2. Dabrye - Walk

This is the first 7” in a series of 4 featuring tracks taken from the forthcoming Producer 2 album set for release in Autumn 2009. Producer 2 features a collection of new and resurfaced tracks focusing on the world’s finest and most invigorating beat makers. The compilation brings together all the most exciting elements around today from Hip Hop, electronica and beyond in the post - Dilla generation. Featured artists will include Dabrye, Mike Slott, Carlos Nino, Daedelus, Illum Sphere, Andy Votel, Bullion, Ras G & Low Limit.

This 7” includes “Home” by Mike Slott, one half of Heralds Of Change and known for his releases on All City. He’s recently remixed Flying Lotus and is in the proces of completing a collaborative project with Martyn. Mike is also the studio brains behind many of Rustie and Hudson
Mohawke’s recordings. “Home” is a reflective piece, incorporating clipped drums, fuzzed stabs and layered haunting melodic vocal sounds, all creating a complex and warmly satisfying groove.
Dabrye proabably needs less introduction. After releasing the album “Two / Three” on Ghostly Intl. he has been concentrating more on his electronic productions under his James T Cotton guise. But back to the hiphop here, with “Walk” he drops an unstoppable beat utilising extra wide drums that bound through the track interwoven with an almost choral flanged vocal and whipping filtered synth sounds. Initial pressing - and very possible the only one - of this 45 is 500 copies. Check!
