Miqi O. - Untold VI


 

My french homie monsieur Miqi O., a true beatman, with a tendency to the extremes, has been releasing his Untold beats EPs series for nearly 2 years now, and the time has come to end it all in big fashion.

Enter Untold VI, a full album of remixes by many a beatcrafts, playing around with the originals and putting in their own sound and feel to each beat. Some rather big names from the scene are featured here, the likes of Fulgeance, Leonard Dstroy and Professor Ojo, and not a few lesser known ones. There’s quite a lot of different sounds and vibes going on here. I must admit I find myself lately moving a bit away from the 8bit kind of thing, but there are beats here that go to different directions too.

The biggest jam here, the standout track by far to my ears, is B-Ju’s contribution, a percussive and rather upbeat affair, although not in your face whatsoever. It slowly evolves and engulfs you, with lush keys and chopped vocals, and just when you think you love it, it takes a bit of a twist and a turn, and becomes simply grand. Really loving this one. Was feeling Zo aka Le Chauve Souris’s remix too. Both are right down here, and the entire release is a free download over at bandcamp, so go grab yourselves a copy on your way out.
