“Heres Laineet’s debut - Odotusta On EP! Instrumental hip-hop and mellow electronica mixed with wonderful Finnish vocal samples. It’s a delight!”
“Old Strikes New releases his Arcade Awake EP after a lengthy period making final production tweaks and the results are simply outstanding. The title track is a 9-minute centrepiece of hip-hop beats and free jazz noodlings that blends the experimental sounds of Tortoise and the Anticon label into a fluid audio collage. This is surrounded by six pieces of deep, moody electronica that combine lulling piano, pensive dialogue, jittery beats and an overall sense of stark, aesthetic beauty.”
“Renu has greeted us with his latest release ‘Hello How are You’ which delivers beautiful melodic electronica with an urban twist. Deep bass, hard beats, and chilled melodies are a reoccurring characteristic of his sound.”
“The Community Cut, first EP of dj.noizcut, has been in production for a long period of time. First tracks were written in the beginning of 2006, but soon the work stopped due to some Noizcuts’ personal problems. When it was reopened, whole bunch of new tracks has been done, but they were also replaced many times… Even covers were changing often (well, not SO often..). In the summer 2006, EP was finally mixed and ready to master, but… It’s probably some kind of curse that Noizcut keeps changing things at last minute, so some new tracks appeared, but this time they were brought to final stage. Only track that survived since the very beginning is the ‘Dopey Afternoon’. Mix took some time, but the master was done in quite a hurry, otherwise the Community Cut would be never released :) This EP is a soft one, there aren’t any hard beats, it is rather somewhere between the abstract hip-hop and downtempo. Seven tracks, lazy moods, noisy cuts and similar stuff, enjoy it!”
“Remixes of Rapbot Malfunction from mfm01. The styles vary from calm trip-hop & minimalism to heavy synthesized hip-hop jungle. Mad props go out to the remixers who delivered their killer beats. If you liked their work, click their name on the artists page @ memoryformat.com & pay a visit to their websites to find out what they’re up to. Special thanks to Mark Murphy for the artwork & to anyone who devoted time to help make this release.”
“For Betamod’s first release of 2007 we bring you The Twlight Division’s Dream Master. Dream Master is The Twilight Division’s 3rd EP here at Betamod. The Sound continues to evolve. Blending the Boom-Bapp Hip-Hop beats with inspiring 8-bit synths, Dream Master fits into the scene perfectly. Be sure not to miss The Title Track, sure to have Italian Plumbers bobbin their heads.”
