In years past, I would have said something provocative like “Toro Y Moi is making better hip-hop music than most actual rappers” about a track like this. Not sure that’s actually the case here but this track is super solid!
Sven has the music to get you off your feet and busting move. You do not hear these kinds of bleepy bloopy sounds from anywhere like Sven does it. Raw, but not like ahi tuna like some suckers, but raw like you scraped your whole knee off and got on your bike again.
That was the brief PR blurb that accompanied this track in my inbox. I didn’t know what to make of it at first but as it went on it totally sucked me in. If Krautrock/Can/post-rock type vibes are your thing, you might could wanna give this one a chance. If you normally trawl this site looking for the latest Trap 40 and hipster chillwave electronic sounds, you can either step along, nothing for you to see here, or open your ears a little and try to take this in.
Really liking the post-punk/no wave-meets-beatbox vibe of this Melbourne, Australia group’s just-released debut double sided 7″ vinyl single on their own Psychic Hysteria Recordings. This one is worth paying attention to. A full length album titled, Contact:Light is due out in October. I suggest you keep an eye out for it.
The late, great Big Pun‘s son, Chris Rivers (briefly formerly known as Baby Pun, I believe) demonstrates yet again that the apple don’t fall far from the tree and he got a little flow in him as he spits over this classic (Big Daddy) Kane beat.
Posted on the back of the recent Wimbledon finals (Go, Serena!) and for the Sean P feature. Did he help write One Dae‘s rhymes maybe though ‘cos the flows seems mad similar? Love the John McEnroe vocal samples too. Those were the days.
