Stockton's Resonate crew put together a fresh comp as a thank you for their 2 year anniversary. A compilation consisting of Jonwayne, Mndsgn, Dibiase, Boom Baptist, Benito, Joob, B.Lewis, Al_pd, Jermski, Aly, AWBLZRD, & Mr. Muddbird!
Tucked away just south of the Californian capital, and a few hours north of what is widely considered the intercontinental beatific beat science capital that is Los Angeles, is a crew of cats who have been quietly stacking bass bins, and banging that sought after sound, featuring the very visitants who are pioneering and producing the greatest Californian export since the iPod.
German homies over at Rhapohnelizenz have just dropped their first beat compilation and it is chock full of heavy hitters in the production game. Brand new material from the likes of Xperiment, J Bizness, Jon Phonics, Bugseed, and more! Don't sleep on this one, if for no other reason Bugseed's "Break Of Dawn" is plain nuts!

Well there's been a chill in the air recently but it's not autumn yet! So it's time to catch up on a couple of assortments compiled by our French peaceniks over on Musique Large that're funkier than three week old yoghurt, and should help you hold on to the last vestiges of those good Summer vibes just a little bit longer..
When he's not playing to 8,000 people to save Los Haitises national park, he's bringing the smooth vibe to Santo Domingo (via local label Stereoptico), let Cohoba Funkalize it for you!

Next up is D.C. Recordings legionnaire Kelpe, a favourite ever since he compiled the Death Before Distemper albums which were a downtempo mix of beats ranging from dub to krautrock (Imagine Tom Baker on a disco excursion and you're half way there...)
Kelpe's work usually takes the sub 100bmp cosmic disco route with muscular flow riding appregiated basslines and unspooling synthlines incorporating post-Dilla snare slaps and though this little snippet is a toned down taste it's still Lardier then a battered cod chip pan!
