    Sonic adventurer Flying Lotus has dropped a new track from his forthcoming album, Until the Quiet Comes, and it features the terrific Erykah Badu on vocals. I also suspect Thundercat may have something to do with the bassline. This album will be the followup to 2010’s well-received Cosmogramma, and

    Using the sounds of West Africa as inspiration and sampling material, the hip hop-influenced beats Débruit produces are uniquely colorful. The foreign flavors on his new album, From the Horizon, definitely give his music an otherworldly quality, but what ultimately makes this album so intriguing are Débruit’s production chops.

    I’m not single. I actually haven’t been single for around three years now. Still, this new beat from xxyyxx still brings out those “forever alone” feelings everybody’s had at one point or another. A beautiful and pitch-shifted vocal sample loops against a beat that’s interesting for

    Spirrows by Tortilla Pass A collection of rough and lo-fi beats that push the ambient envelope. It’s something I’m sure fans of that new Shlohmo album would be able to appreciate. The title of this album is Spirrows, and its comes from New York beat producer Tortilla Pass.
