GRiZ - Rebel Era


GRiZ - Rebel Era 

label: Liberated Music 
released: October 16, 2013 
style: electronic funky hiphop soul breaks beats 
format: 320kbps mp3 

In a time where words and phrases like the occupy movement, personal freedom, the NSA, riots, elections, and war are on the tips of everyones tongues, I can feel a shift in global energy. This is a time where classism and competition is tearing a rift in society. A time where imperialist democratic capitalism is fighting its way to dominate cultures and seperate people into selfish consumers. A time where people are turning against the powers that be and are speaking out against these values. A time that is inspiring people to seek change. Its the time that we live in, an age that we created. I wrote this record over the past year in many different states and phases. From tour busses, to bedroom studios, from green rooms full of friends and scenesters, to planes thousands of feet flying through the sky. I've met and worked with so many new people through the creation of this album and pushed my limits as a producer to create something challenging and dynamic. Taking every single moment that I wasn't on stage and dedicating it to developing ideas of sound; at times, left me breathless and laid out on the floor of my room with songs on repeat - anxious thoughts melting away into space. But thats the thing. I've found that music sets me free. Its up to us to use that which is most compelling and manifest a new reality. One free of apathy. A world of compassion, empathy and cooperation. A world of action of and love. 
This is Rebel Era.

Somepling - Finally Lost


Somepling - Finally Lost 

label: self-release 
released: 03 September 2013 
style: instrumental experimental hiphop beats 
format: 320kbps mp3, FLAC,.... 

Consider this short album as an experiment. After the two "self-released" vinyl projects i did this year, i wanted to escape... Just try new things, work freely without restrictions. I truly think the MPC sampler is "Only Built For Escaping". It's not about the trip or the destination, it's about getting lost... "Finally Lost".

style: instrumental hiphop indie beats 
format: 320kbps mp3, FLAC,.... 

What Comes To Mind is the Potholes Music debut of the U.K.-based producer duo of Handbook and Cypria. Frequent readers of Potholes will no doubt recognize both names, as we've long admired the sample flipping, chopping, and layering ways of these two. While both have dabbled in a variety of production styles over the years, they choose to stick to their roots of dusty crate-diggin', sample-flippin' beats.

Pretty Lights - Live Studio Sessions From A Color Map of the Sun (Disc 2)


Pretty Lights - Live Studio Sessions From A Color Map of the Sun (Disc 2) 

label: Pretty Lights Music 
released: July 2nd 2013 
style: electronic funky hiphop glitch beats breaks 
format: 320kbps mp3 

On July 2, 2013, not one but two new Pretty Lights albums were released: A Color Map of the Sun and its essential companion, Live Studio Sessions From A Color Map of the Sun. The first PL efforts to be sold commercially after a series of acclaimed free-download albums and EPs, the Color Map project represents a turning point in Pretty Lights mastermind Derek Vincent Smith’s artistic growth. A self-professed “sample collage” artist, Smith decided it was time to create his own. “Before, I’d combine 25 samples into one song,” he explains. “This time, I was going to create my own original sources, retaining the timbre that spans the great musical era of the last century – from modern classical and jazz, to ‘60s soul and beyond.” 

tracklist: 
01 Reel 15 Break 5   03:36
02 Reel 5 Break 3   03:37
03 Reel 9 Break 6  03:18
