Figub Brazlevič - Oldschool Future




Figub Brazlevič - Oldschool Future




Figub Brazlevics Oldschool Future comes along with, believe it or not, 42 Tracks. With this album, you are sent on an exciting trip through Figub’s musical repertoire of the last 3 years while making music in Berlin. Always keeping the idea and the spirit of Oldschool HipHop reflected in his music, he offers a wide range of both elegant, atmospheric and really strong, intense beats. The whole masterpiece that consciously lacks a mastering, was created during the last 3 weeks, when Figub worked on the beats giving his old loops a new sense. Finally, this collage of beats finds its way into the collection of albums published via Sichtexot. 
Figub Brazlevic likes the unconventional. This is why he chose a name for his album that somehow seems to be a contradiction. He wants to bring the old into the future. The artists, however, wants every listener to interpret the title in his own way. A special highlight on the album are the shouts by diverse people from Figub’s surrounding (eg. Torch, Nico Suave and Suff Daddy) that introduce each track. Altogether this album offers a wide range of tracks that all have the potential to provide an interesting variety in the HipHop industry.

DELA - TRANSLATION LOST

DELA - TRANSLATION LOST - LP 2011



It's tricky coming up with a sophomore album. One could say it's about taking the essence of your past work and bringing it to another level, without doing the same thing twice. With that in mind, Paris/Montreal based producer Dela teams up with Drink Water Music to deliver Translation Lost, the follow up to 2009's Changes Of Atmosphere. 
It started as a simple beat tape. Freshly installed in Montreal, where he was planning to put music on the side for a little while, it only took a couple weeks before Dela felt the need to put together a small setup (a MPC 1000, a turntable and computer speakers) and went back to creating. Beats quickly accumulated. Most were used for side projects that have yet to be released. Some had a special feel : Dela decided to put them together to create what would become Translation Lost. 
Most of the album was composed in Montreal in 2009 and 2010. The sonics of the album were shaped by the vinyls Dela would come across, constantly visiting record stores throughout the city. Jazz, Funk, Prog, Quebec music being the styles he sampled the most. His love for melodies and beautiful chord changes has remained intact, but an accent is made on the drums, probably the most important instrument in Hip-Hop music. 
While Changes Of Atmosphere had guests on every track (Talib Kweli, Les Nubians, Large Professor, Elzhi to name a few), the new album is half instrumental. Reach, a Kansas City based MC who appears on most Dela's projects, opens the record with Go On, an ode to the working class. Californian super MC Blu, who has been a regular guest on Dela's mixtapes & album as well, blesses us with Lucy's&LooseLeafs and WhatUWanna. Sowlie, a young talent from France, lends her wordless vocals to the laidback Chunky Monkeying while Long Island born & raised MC Kemizt, who's currently working on a whole project with Dela, speaks his piece on I Will. 
But the main theme of the album is declared by Aliya, a friend of Dela who also had a little cameo on Changes Of Atmosphere. Her introduction sets the tone : Translation Lost is about love stories gone wrong. It's about that very moment in a relationship when two people can't understand each other anymore. Even though Translation Lost is not to be called a concept album, the theme is indeed omnipresent and defines the mood of the whole record. Another huge inspiration is Louis Malle's movie Ascenseur Pour L'Echafaud. A passionate cinephile, Dela does not hesitate to dig in his favorites movies for samples and ideas.

Diggin' In The Crates

Diggin' In The Crates

This is the debut release of UK producer, Pings.
The title track is soulful, jazzy and uplifting and features Rob-O formerly of INI on the vocals. Rob-O’s classic flows roll over Pings’s chopped up piano sample and boom bap drums nicely.
The ‘You & Me’ vocal hook is dripping with soul and complements the content of Rob-O’s reminiscent raps. He describes the vibes and the highs and lows captured in the group INI and tells a story of the groups progression.

The B-side features an instrumental song called ‘Fly Away’. The track is centred around string samples and a bouncing bass-line with guitar & piano samples throughout.

Billie Holiday is my muse. Her creative vision and stylistic integrity have influenced both my music and my writing. When I decided to work on this project, I wanted to approach it with respect for her music. I wanted these remixes to be both inspired by and dedicated to the life and craft of one of the most innovative and soulful singers of all time. Each track is designed to represent a significant part of Billie Holiday’s life.
