virgil howe - "b-boy bounce" (download) This is from a collaborative digital 123 from drummers Virgil Howe (Killer Meters) and Malcolm Catto (Heliocentrics, Quantic Soul Orchestra). As you can expect, it's heavy on the drums. The A-side, "B-Boy Bounce" features only Virgil, while the B-side features both drummers. buy
After growing up surrounded by hip-hop, in my late teens I moved to a place where underground hip-hop heads were scarce, and I primarily had to rely on myself to find under-the-radar emcees and producers. Without much in the form of exterior stimulation, I used mixes as a way to listen closer to new musical finds. I made a number of mixes in the tape era, but with the first CD-burner I purchased in '98 or so, hip-hop mixes for myself became routine. They were quickly assembled and provided with no tracklist; simply labeled in numeric order starting with "Mix [...]
Musician. Illustrator. Professional tea brewer . Mr. Scruff is no doubt Manchester's quirkiest renaissance man. And dilettante he is not. Prolific creator of jazzy breakbeats he's got no less than 6 albums (5 of which on the mighty Ninja Tune label), numerous singles and countless mixes under his belt. He's no slouch in the drawing department either. Besides branding himself with his signature badly drawn jazztastic potatoes (gander here and here ) his illustrations also routinely turn up in fancy coffee table books like Booth Clibborn's who's who of street art tome [...]

PRO BALL If Quantic owns a wallet, it's the one that says Bad Mother Fucker. He is one of the most talented musicians in the world. The British DJ and producer Quantic (Will Holland) is in a league of his own. Think the Meters meets the JB Horns meets St Germain meets the Dap-Kings meets Budos Band. His music draws upon elements of salsa, bossa nova, soul, funk and jazz. Holland plays guitars, bass, double bass, piano, organ, saxophone and percussion. My musical love runs deep for this guy. Don't buy everything from his [...]
Quantic is preparing to drop his upcoming album Quantic Presenta Flowering Inferno "Dog With A Rope," out July 13th via Tru Thoughts. Many are familiar with his solo work, or his various group projects like The Quantic Soul Orchestra and Quantic and his Combo Barbaro, and this particular Flowering Inferno project for "Dog With A Rope," aims to draw similarities between Latin and Reggae rhythms, blending and fusing various Tropical, Caribbean, African, and Latin styles. Recorded in his Sonido Del Valle studio in Cali, Colombia, Quantic continues to make his mark as one of the most prolific [...]

There are only a handful of albums I have ever really anticipated like Quantic 's upcoming album, Tradition In Transition, due July 14th. This album could be truly amazing. "The Dreaming Mind" is the song in the video teaser for the album below and it's featured on Quantic's myspace page as well. It might be one of my all time favorites. Between the string arrangements and the funky percussion, it's a cinematic-style masterpiece that just kills me. If I like half of the songs on the album as much as I like "The Dreaming Mind" [...]

Yep, you gets a bonus post today... not because I'm feeling especially generous, but rather because I had picked out 5 songs for this week, but then, like a truly lazy American, didn't feel like blogging on Monday, my day off... I think I've spoken before of my love/hate relationship with Mr. Will Holland, aka Quantic . Love because he makes such good music... hate because he's made so much good music at such a young age, making me feel like the underachiever I am. I mean, in addition [...]
