All Of The Lights


Some songs were simply made to be remixed. I remember getting excited about Stac’s Turn That Light Out album a few months prior to it’s release last year, but eventually not really being taken by it, even though it sure was a nice album. But those songs deserved more, not to mention Stac with her sweet vocals and great delivery. And so I was very happy when later that year Wah Wah 45s released The Remixes Vol One, which was exactly what I was missing.

But that was not all. Another six months pass, and yesterday a new remixes album, Vol Two, was released, and I think it might even be better than the first one, I mean, any album that opens with a Kidkanevil tune is already on the right track as far as I’m concerned. With other remixes coming from Alex Patchwork, Scrimshire, Hint, Blue Daisy and Ashley Beedle, plus some more lesser known but equally as talented producers, this album covers a large grooveful spectrum of beats, soul, broken nuggets, deep house and lots in between, maintaining a very smooth and relaxed feel, warm and gentle, quite dreamy and a bit trippy at times. Big up to all the producers involved, and to whoever was in charge of the selection and compilation of both remixes albums. Head over to bandcamp to buy yourself some digital sugar.

Boombaptist - The Creamixes


 

I was first Boombaptized sometime last year, when Boombaptist released his Boombaptism beat tape. I ain’t a Christian, but my Boombaptising was a spiritual experience non the less.

Boombaptist (when producing) aka Thesaraus Rex (when rapping) aka Andrew Thaggard (when being human) hailing from Austin, TX, has possibly been my favourite upandcoming beats producer since the very first note I heard from him, and lately it seems he’s starting to draw the attention his beatcrafting skillz desreve.

His brand new EP The Creamixes is a collection of some of his favourite remixes he produced during the last year, seeing him flipping beats and lyrics by Pharoahe Monch, Erykah Badu, D’angelo, M.O.P and more, with his unique melodically rich fat beats and signature bump’d up sound. Being a remix EP, there are way more vocals and rhymes being spat on these beats than we’re used to hear from the Boombapster, but that don’t mean the quality doesn’t stay high throughin and throughout.

It’s a free DL (though you can pay too if you’d like!) that comes complete with a smashing cover art, and you’d better get a move on it and cop these jams before his split 7” with Dibiase drops, featuring his official Guilty Simpson remix, afterwhich you’ll be able to say you were head nodding to his beats way before everyone else.
