The Gift is a series DJ House Shoes started to spotlight under the radar producers. Pressed in a limited edition of 300 copies.

Cream Of Beats plays a very basic style of jazz, a genre
that has gone largely untouched by post-Bop advances
(at least not by many beyond those of Horace Silver
and the early Sonny Rollins) and which is informed
almost exclusively technically and inspirationally by
the essential sources: gospel and the blues. The scope
and breadth of its expression is restricted pretty much
to the experiences and emotions which these sources
are about. On this basis, and by the standards of
2015, it is probably valid to call Cream Of Beats’ blaps
“primitive”. But this is not meant to imply a derogation of
either the music or the man who is making it, rather it
is intended to define both in their relationship to other
contemporary jazz forms and contemporary beat
culture artists.
