DON’T SLEEP: Beat Train Recordings “Urban Sampler Session #3” [BEAT COMPILATION]

Here’s the thing. I saw this jawn more than an hour ago over @ Bugseed’s blog Independent Beatcasting and I decided to immediately press play. Jeebus Price! The slaps that comprise the “Urban Sampler Session #3” were all created in a 48 hour time period during a Japanese sampler beat convention. This beat featured producers with diverse sounds such as Bugseed, Ichiro_, ILL THE ESSENCE, Osurek Bertop, Jazim, RADAx39, CAI-BEATZ and several others over 36 slaps. DON’T SLEEP!

DON’T SLEEP: Broke/ “Another Lost Summer” [BEAT TAPE]

Nice summer themed California beat tape I ran across a while back (probably a week or so) but I forgot I found it when I first switched laptops. I was just over @ Bugseed’s blog Independent Beatcasting & I saw he posted it. Now I know why I couldn’t find it…I kept forgetting the /. “Another Lost Summer” isn’t to be slept on so stop doing it, folks!

One.


DON’T SLEEP: Gudamanss “Chain Smoke” [BEAT TAPE]

This was another good call by Bugseed’s Independent Beatcasting blog. Japanese producer Gudamanss’ beat tape “Chain Smoke” is a winner. It’s only 7 beats deep but they all bang so it’s all good. Literally. Good lookin’ out, Bugseed!

One.


DON’T SLEEP: Ill The Essence “Live a EP” [INSTRUMENTAL PROJECT]

I’d term this Ill The Essence jawn an instrumental project more than a beat tape, especially since it was created live using an SP 505. This project comes courtesy of Japanese label Beat Train Records. Shoutout to the homie Bugseed once again with the assist. Don’t sleep…
