Looking for a flat generally sucks. You so want it to be easy and perfect, yet this is almost unimaginable, let alone feasible. Oh well the trials and tribulations of shifting house, it is the kind of crap we all have to take sometimes, so why not see the funny side. Good luck on your next flat or room hunt. Here are some cool beats to play once you shift in.
French hip-hop producer Onra successfully undertakes the difficult task of making instrumental beats and pieces sound good without the raps. This almost Pete Rock-esque cut oozes is available on his recent Long Distance LP for Dublin label All City/Download: Onra-Send Me Your Love
Maryland based Maxmillion Dunbar makes beats that blend several genres but manage to retain a certain underground finesse. Check his new EP for the exceptional Ramp Recordings label here, and get a taster from his last release with this tasteful sample based cut/Download: Maxmillion Dunbar-Wouldn’t Matter
Belgian outfit Aeroplane are a duo no more, with one half apparently continuing to record under the name, while the other forges a new solo career. Fortunately the good news is that the final recording as a duo is one of their best, a slinky bit of new disco for fans of Lindstrom and Prins Thomas. Available now from Eskimo Recordings/Download: Aeroplane-We Can’t Fly
Two talented Brooklyn based producers on one tune, remixer Brenmar and songwriter Blondes are two worth keeping a close eye on as 2010 progresses. Check the Blondes EP Touched, out now on Merok Records/Download: Blondes-Spanish Fly (Brenmar remix)
Stunning remix from German deep house maestro Motor City Drum Ensemble of Domino Recordings group Archie Bronson Outfit, this reminds me of Basic Channel meeting Theo Parrish in the studio. Full of backwards beats and shuffling cymbals, it is a cut made especially for those very early hours of the morning/Download: Archie Bronson Outfit-Hoola (Motor City Drum Ensemble remix)
