Kings says, “The name Endless Fog comes from a journey home in a car with my team, TRXJVN family, DTM. On our way back from Bristol all we could see was pure thick fog surrounding everything, we could barely see anything hence the name Endless Fog. It also represents the thoughts I used to have about wanting something to happen so badly but it never would, a foggy sense of hope without realistically thinking.” You know what I think? 

That’s a whole lot of mumbo jumbo to accompany an album that’s filled with electro/trap beats. I get it. As an artists there are these “moments” and you’ll try and describe these “moments” in your art (or in terrible -pseudo-philosophical paragraphs). Kings, producer from Swindon, UK, should just say it like it is…Endless Fog is five track traptastic EP, no frills, no foggy outlook on life—just trap shit.

I’m not sure what kind of running BEWILDERBEAST engages in, but it’s not from this world. At least, not from this decade. Running is definitely not catered for those sad sober people who like their running to be “exercise”. It’s getaway music—cool escape music for criminals who like walking away from explosions in slow motion. Maybe this kind off brand dance music was the norm around jogging and inline skating circles back in the ’90s, but today it stands as a funky glo-fi release. I can’t lie, this shit is pretty dope. Think Com Truise-ish (Truise-ish sounds Russian and translates to: dope shit) music with this drop. Dope. (‘Dope’ count: 4)

It’s always a good idea to use Times New Roman on an album cover. Just ask NC producer Constrobuz and he’ll agree. So posh. So snooty/business class like. Yeah…. Honestly, I love this Japanese bootleg look—it’s a statement dunk. It’s a, “Yeah, these are some dope jazzy hip-hop beats. It’s so good people are dubbing it on tapes and selling them at street markets/bazaars. Fuck the industry!” Constrobuz is best known for the producing Mr. Muthafuckin’ eXquire’s “Lou Ferigno’s Mad” and a collabo track featuring Danny Brown. This tape takes a step away from his usual oddball, quirky, muffled sampling work and turns it way down. Way down. Rain and Dust is so chill you’ll have to drink coffee while listening to avoid frostbite. Start brewing and press that sideways triangle all day long.

Awwwwww yeah, I like it dirty. Ta-ku—Australian producer extraordinaire, Red Bull Academy alum, hip-hop aficionado, yadda yadda—dropped the second volume to his D U S T Y beats series today. Let me just say, you can’t spell beats without beast and Ta-ku is a beast on this release. He’s manipulating these old soul records into static heavy productions. If you’re a fan of Apollo Brown, Knx, bugseed, Handbook…D U S T Y Volume 2 is on par with almost everything they’ve put out. Basically, it’s 16 instrumentals deep and it has soul. Shell five bucks on this and don’t look back. Also, look out for Ta-ku’s Marinate Mix MAY 5th. DOPE.      

I’m a big comic fan, but I prefer real life superheroes over those who shoot spiderwebs, fly faster than bullets, etc. Why? I guess I think it’s cooler to see Michael Jordan soaring over his peers, hear war stories and general everyday badassery than reading about caped crusaders kicking peoples’ asses. (Is there a point to all this?) Yeah! Alphabets Heaven isn’t a hero, but he makes some beats that punch. He’s no caped crusader, just a producer from Brighton who creates audible collages. Like the title to his album suggests, Boosh is a smack to the dome. Its seven tracks stutter and robotically march forward stomping out bad vibes as it plays out. You’ll definitely want to peep this release if you’re into spastic glitch-hop. (Insert superhero quip here).
