DON’T SLEEP: AstroLogical “Far Far Away” [INSTRUMENTAL ALBUM]

Vancouver producer/beatmaker AstroLogical recently surfaced with his instrumental opus via Jellyfish Recordings titled simply “Far Far Away” with a mellow, relaxed vibe to it. If you don’t need to hear incredibly hard beats all the time & could use an infusion of some Jazz inspired melodies & etherealness (is that a word? Google it for me and tell me in the comments section) implore you to give it a listen right damb now. Don’t sleep…

One.


DON’T SLEEP: Egopatterns “Blueberry Genie” [BEAT TAPE]

DON’T SLEEP: Them Fighting Words x Scrambled Crates 10 [INSTRUMENTALS]

 


As I previously stated back in June, one of my favorite production based features on the entire internet is Them Fighting Words‘ Scrambled Crates series. The last edition was #9 and it featured 26 producers and beatmakers flipping, chopping and reinterpreting the same sample provided by the lovely Jillzworth differently. The Scrambled Crates 10 Soundcloud set below so you can all hear it and now only the top 10 beats get posted on Soundcloud.

If you’re interested in being a part of Scrambled Crates 11 then hit up Jillzworth with” SC11″ as the subject @ ScrambledCrates@gmail.com. Please keep in mind that only the 10 best jawns will be posted to Soundcloud with the exception of 5 bonus honorable mentions on this one as well. Please don’t waste Jillz time by asking for the damb sample and failing to send it in by the deadline or MINE by making some wack earbleed shit with weak ass baby arm drums. Guess who’s gonna be judging this jawn? ME. Let’s get it!
