Mike Gao - Quadruple Entendre 

label: HW&W Recordings 
released: 05 August 2013 
style: instrumental hiphop lofi beats electronic 
format: 320kbps mp3, FLAC,.... 

Coming in hot is Mike Gao’s Quadruple Entendre, which is the official follow up to Beta World Peace. The master of eclectic and progressive beats goes where a majority of beatsmiths is afraid to go. Throughout Quadruple Entendre, you’ll experience Gao’s complicated layering which emphasizes the harmony between chaos and organization. He also takes dynamic looping to the next level by utilizing unorthodox song structure, that is highlighted among the many effects that pulsate in and out of each song. Quadruple Entendre is full of attitude, so tighten your jimmies. Most of the beats are on the quick-fire status, though each is a powerful straight jab. A straight jab right into your musical soul.

Dusty Crates - Tafsiri EP

Dusty Crates - Tafsiri EP 

label: Duzz Down San 
released: 11 October 2013 
style: african instrumental future hiphop beats electronic 
format: 320kbps mp3, FLAC,.... 

In the spring of 2013 Dusty Crates members Simp & Shawn The Savage Kid (STSK) have put themselves together and started to work on a new release. And here it is, "Tafsiri". The title “Tafsiri” meaning interpretation and/or translation in swahili and gives quite a hint on what Dusty Crates planned to do. The idea is quite simple: take dusty samples from African countries like Ethiopia, Senegal or Namibia, isolate the musical magic and mix it into a hybrid fusion of modern future beats and sloppy rhythms. The outcome is a seven track EP full of diverse sounds and melodies - a mixture of both experimental and conceptual “Post Genre” which tries to preserve the genius of all African musicians sampled on this EP. 

tracklist: 
1. bati (STSK) 02:37 
2. miriam (simp) 03:41 
3. de femmes (STSK) 04:06

5. sigala (STSK) 03:03 
6. bella (simp) 03:18

Ta-ku & Raashan Ahmad - Low Fidelity, High Quality 

label: Jakarta Records 
released: 05 July 2013 
style: hiphop instrumental electronic rap beats 
format: 320kbps mp3, FLAC,.... 

In the end Raashan found it on an old hard drive and I was a fan of the album instantly. It's raw hip hop in the truest sense. None of the songs are longer then 3 minutes, quite some are around the 2 minute mark. Nothing but dope beats and raps with some unreleased Ta-ku instrumentals sprinkled in between.
