The 1 st edition of A Stoner's Guide on Beats to Blaze to , featuring mostly hip hop, was a major failure, so I said fuck it for the second edition the following year... well, it was a failure up until StumbleUpon got a hold of it about six months back. Apparently, there's a whole lotta stoners on StumbleUpon because that shit shut down my site several times. So in tribute, I decided to start it back up and go from a hip-hop theme [...]
Rapt by the melody. Emancipator, known to his friends as Doug Appling, is a talented young artist whose style could only be equivocated to an emotional electronic symphony. The 24 year-old producer's first two releases, Safe In Steep Cliffs and Soon It Will Be Cold Enough , employ an orchestra of organic sounds that evoke an atmosphere of inquisitiveness and wonder. Entwining original recordings of guitar, mandolin, violin and banjo into his music, Emancipator cultivates a natural cohesion between acoustic and electronic harmonies. His work often leaves the listener adrift in their own thoughts; whether you're [...]

Looks like I completely missed this release back in mid December but better late than never. Emancipator dropped this free track to celebrate reaching 30k facebook fans, pretty impressive maybe we'll get there one day.

A lot of free downloads on his website too that are for sure worth checking out. Emancipator- "Elephant Survival"

So I decided to create a rather unconventional music post today. Get ready to be INSPIRED. I've recently helped some friends of mine launch a clothing line called the ADAMO Collection. The whole idea behind this company is to provide a platform for rebelliously creative young people to pursue their passions, collaborate with each other, [...]

Click image to download full album Song: Foster the People - Black Lake (Emancipator Remix) "Foster the People - Black Lake (Emancipator Remix)" What's so good? One of the best artists that I've discovered in the last few years is Emancipator. His music won't blow you away with thumping bass or shredding guitar solos. Rather, it's an ambient trip hop in the vein of Bonobo and Boards of Canada - the perfect type of music to listen to when you [...]
