FREE DL: JHAS – Random Selection

September 29, 2013March 8, 2021 by Luke Alex Davis

Sweden’s JHAS threw some “unfinished” beats together into a gritty 8-track EP called Random Selection. Having a bunch of beats on your computer just sitting there with no real purpose is something I can identify with. They could have been made for a scrapped project or just for the sake of it.

Happy 22nd Birthday, The Low End Theory!

September 24, 2013January 13, 2021 by Luke Alex Davis

It’s been 22 years to the day that A Tribe Called Quest released The Low End Theory. I’m gonna tell you a secret. When songs overwhelm me with their greatness, I get goosebumps and I well up. Sometimes it’s due to a sentimental association; happier times when I didn’t have a care in the world. …

September 21, 2013April 17, 2020 by Luke Alex Davis

We take a look at five albums made using the MPC1000. I was fortunate enough to come into a large tax rebate a couple of years back and decided it was time to progress my production into a more hardware based set up. Until that point, I was strictly a LPD8/LPK25 guy with Logic, CDs …

Vancouver, Washington’s Gloam marks a return from duty with new track Alloyed Shuffle.
