Must bump this thread with moar Joseph Jacobs:

Joseph Jacobs - In the Early Hours

My God, man...

yeah that's his first album MAN look at his you-tube channel bro has got some bomb classics on there.. Mostly definitely my favorite new artist this year by FAR..lol I'm listening to him right now:p
Most on his tube channel are on his three albums but I'd say he has about 25+ unreleased tracks begging for a official release
lol posted this earlier in the thread this is my fav track on that album sooooo fucking amazing. Something Like Love - Joseph Jacobs

Yes @ new ESNO. I hope there's a new album coming soon. Visionary was amazing.

Edit: new Senpai is so melancholy!

Nice, didn't realize he had his own label and was also producing for other artists. Digging First Impressions.

As for Kenichiro's other albums, I actually prefer ESNO's Visionary album over the 3 I've heard -- but yea, they are definitely all solid releases. Do you know who the female vocalist is on some of the Visionary tracks by the way? Perfect fit for that album.

god, so far outta the loop i missed Illuminus by Kenichiro Nishihara - so, so good. few tracks in, hope it ends up giving Humming Jazz a run for its money!

also:
Edit:
Found this page on Facebook called "Chillhop", where they're dedicated to Nujabes-like jams. They have their own website, and even started their own radio station recently!
I might have to start listening to this..
http://www.di.fm/chillhop

Their website: http://chillhop.com/

Edit2: lol huh.. I spoke with the creator of the chillhop website, and it turns out he checks out this thread frequently.

been meaning to follow up with you & this guy as well, how's it been so far man?

Just finished a Samurai Champloo rewatch last night. First time I've watched it through in like 5 years. Still an incredible show (that ending...so many feels) but man the music is so good. Fat Jon and Nujabes (RIP) just killed it.

I remember importing all the soundtrack albums back when they first came out. Going to have to put that shit on, haven't heard any of it in forever.

Fat Jon's contribution is just as good, if not better, than Nujabes' on the soundtracks.

Wouldn't go that far... but Tsutchie and FORCE OF NATURE never get any credit they made some BOMB tracks for that masterpiece of an OST...

Jaroof i signed up to your site but didn't get an activation code or something it needed to authenticate me, man! no idea what to do now, haha

there's admittedly a few days i go back & forth on this - lean heavily Nuja but i'd not really argue this point, looking back at that collection
