Scrimshire - Home feat. Faye Houston 

label: Wah Wah 45s
released: 24 October 2011 
style: folk afrobeat jazz chill soul beats 
format: 320kbps mp3, FLAC,.... 

Singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, producer, DJ and erstwhile Wah Wah 45s label boss, Adam Scrimshire, with the debut offering to be taken from his second album "The Hollow". "Home" is a good place to start for this latest opus, representing as it does a trip back in time to the roots of this young man's music, with a more contemporary electronic edge. Stunning harmonies come courtesy of our very own Faye Houston from dub reggae favourites Resonators, and bass worrying dance floor interpretations are taken care of by U.S. heavyweight Captain Planet and those young turks from Leeds, Paper Tiger. But if time is needed for reflection, look no further than Scrimshire's own acoustic 're-version', with the man himself laying his soul bare on vocal duties.

Parker - To Eternity


Parker - To Eternity 

label: Rocstar 
released: 1 September 2008 
style: funk soul beats hiphop breaks 
format: 1411kbps WAV 

If Knighthoods were given out for contributions to crowd rocking, Parker would be curtseying in front of the Queen come New Year. As it is, plaudits range from Massive Attack to DJ Yoda. Royalty indeed! 
First starting his rise smashing chumps via DJ battles, Bristol's Parker soon turned his hand to production gaining "lofty comparisons to the marvelous RJD2". The luscious beats and driving Funk of his 'To Eternity' LP garnered rave reviews and wide critical acclaim. Lead single 'Sugar Coated' was MTV-playlisted, while 'Western Soul', featuring San Francisco legend, Rasco, devastated dance floors. Proving he was no flash in the pan, Parker followed the album with a series of club-rocking bangers, finding homes at such heavy hitting labels as Bombstrikes, Goodgroove, and Jalapeno.

B.DURAZZO - Beats Vol. 1


B.DURAZZO - Beats Vol. 1 

label: self-release 
released: 29 September 2011 
style: instrumental electronic hiphop beats 
format: 320kbps mp3, FLAC,.... 

When I first took a look at a video of B.Durazzo playing a beat live on two MPCs, I thought to myself, “Damn, this isn’t just some kid playing around with Fruityloops and a sampler. Dude’s talented.” Over the course of the video, Ben played each machine like it was a part of a larger instrument. This is something which defies the notion that most hip-hop isn’t “real music” because of the lack of live instrumentation involved in the creative process. Sure, The Roots have been playing live instruments for to make their music for years, but the vast majority of people that make hip-hop do not. Even the turntable has been questioned as a legitimate instrument but if you’ve ever watched a DMC level DJ, you can see that there really shouldn’t be much of a question. Is Ben using other people’s music to make his? Yes, but you could argue that any musician does the same through their influences. As they say, “There ain’t nothin’ new under the sun.”
