Havelok Grim- Hoof years

   Wicked Instrumental Hip Hop with an experimental edge. A compelling album/ EP by UK Beatmaker Havelok Grim- is where you should turn to if you like your Electronic Music warped, claustrophobic, and frazzled. Fans who can't get enough of abstract producers like Daedelus and Flying Lotus, or just craving some sonic variety, should defientely give this album a listen. It may take a couple tries to grasp- with the confusing interludes and scatter-shot song structures- but once you lock in, the Hoof Years turns into a pretty fascinating listening experience that you can discover something new on with each listen. DL for free Below or on Bandcamp.

Scuba- Personality

         A slightly more direct, dance oriented approach to bass music and UK dub, HotFlush records head honcho Scuba is back again- to  (hopefully) bring on a new wave of dubstep releases. Heading in a new direction after the excellent Triangulation, Scuba trades in some his Sliced-up minimal tendencies, and plunges into synthesizer nirvana.
       Incorporating old school, Kraftwerk sounding keyboard loops into his songs, while conjuring swirling masses of ambiance and eerie, mind-altering  sound fx and vocals- to combine and  form a dense and constantly shifting sound. Suited for both the club and dark basement listening. It may take a while to really delve into, but once you finally "unlock" Personality, you're in for a rewarding dub experience you can get lost in.

Mista 93- Da Boom Baptizum

          If you haven't heard of them, you should definitely check out The Dusted Wax Kingdom- a Bulgarian (donation) based Web Label that sports a huge roster of producers specializing in Ambient Breakbeat and Dusty Instrumental Hip Hop. New-comer to the label, Mista 93 drops Da Boom Baptizum, which  comes off sounding like old beat tape of 90s hip hop production left forgotten in a gloomy basement for years- aged to perfection to have the chilled, smokey, and caverness feel of the past. This is a must-hear for fans of Early DJ Krush, Amon Tobin, and Da Beat Minaz - Dig This Vibe and don't sleep. You can stream this album or download for free on their website
