Man, Uyama Hiroto and Haruka Nakamura need to collaborate again, because they make some wonderful sounds when they do..
Faure is one of the smoothest jazz-hop songs I've heard...
Meanwhile, Island is one of the most heartfelt.
That, and Uyama Hiroto needs to make another album already!
It's been four years, and his album still remains as one of my favorites.

agreed so very hard. I love Uyama Hiroto (great picks, Jaroof! i think i have 81st summer as my ringtone too, haha), wish he'd do another LP as well.

honestly, i know so little about these hydeout guys i adore, its kinda why i keep checking back on the Eternal Soul docu (still no real updates...) in hopes of learning more. most of these dudes barely even have wikis...i'd jump at any chance to see them live, even just substantial & parse rock.

One of my favorite jazz-hop songs has to be Ribbon in the Sea by Uyama Hiroto.. hands down.
But yeah, it seems that after Nujabes died, Hydeout's fallen apart.. :/
I want more from them!
I recently got into Kenmochi Hidefumi's stuff, too. He's really good!

Hidefumi's my fav member of Hydeout, without a doubt. I actually like his output a tiny bit more than I like Jun's.

Jazz-Hop, I love you but really now:

You guys should know A) Don't post links to complete album downloads or even song downloads (even if the links were soon broken or useless) and B) Don't ask where you can download things for free.

aww, poor jflex..RIP man, my bad for encouraging you. let's try to stick to bandcamp & other streams from here on out, guys!

also yeah, Ribbon in the Sea is right up there with Another Reflection for my personal favorite, they're just so soulful and both can turn my mood completely around, it's amazing.

There are albums/songs/music where they're given out for free. Obviously download links for retail albums, digital and physical, are not allowed.

just recently went to an aesop rock show and before he went on was a guy who called himself edison who went up with basically a 256 button drum machine, he's worth a look into but it gets old quick watching unless you're really into it.

I'm looking for some good cratedig-like mixes/compilations (preferably whole songs, without cuts and nonsense) like Gaslamp Killer's It's a Rocky Road.
Anyone got some recommendations?

Vanilla - Soft Focus

Upbeat instrumentals here. Nice vocal samples and overall pretty polished.

Highlight: Still Love U

KYU - The Pressure Drunk EP

A couple more:

mikedecline - MOOD SOOP

Rob Viktum - Progress 2

Progress 2 is a sequel project to the original Progress album I made to raise awareness to the atrocities the Khmer Rouge cast upon the people of Cambodia. The Cambodian people have a rich collection of music that really inspires me so I created a second album to further the awareness. All the song titles with dates are important time stamps to the history of Cambodia. Do a little research and learn more about Cambodia and how amazing the people to be bouncing back after such a genocide.

Seems like Marcus D doesn't get much love here. Really loved Melancholy Hopeful and Bop Alloy and now he's got a kickstarter where he wants to make a hiphop album using game samples.



Marcus D Kickstarter said:
I started this project because above all else, the samples used, created so much influential nostalgia that it reminded me of the reasons I started making music to begin with.

Before I ever started making beats or even learned to play piano, my older brother was given a SNES. From the first moment a controller was put in my hands, a defining impact was stamped into my ear for music.

I am not alone. And this project is for the millions who were raised on 16 bit. This is for the millions who have heard the incredible compositions, created on less than capable technology (but nonetheless brilliant songs) and have kept them in a special place in their memory.

This is for every butchered video game theme that has been disappointingly held hostage with sub par production, by even lower "artists".

Here's a Protoman mix he did a while back.

Since there haven't been too many updates recently(I check this thread on the daily), I've gotta go ahead and recommend Ronald Jenkees again.

I hadn't listened to this guy in quite a while, but I went back and listened to his stuff recently, and man... he's so good!

If you haven't listened to his stuff yet, do yourself a favor and try his music out.
He's still one of my favorite instrumental artists.

Here's his YouTube channel, where he jams out on his keyboards. It shows how he makes his music.

I highly recommend both of his albums.
Here's a link to his albums.

I hope Marcus D's next album gets kickstarted. He's probably one of my favorite Jazz-hop guys. A whole album using snes samples seriously sounds awesome. He needs 1575 more in 4 days.

djtiesto

is beloved, despite what anyone might say
Would Pretty Lights fall under this genre category? I've been digging some of the sounds on his "Tha Hot Shit" SiriusXM radio show.

Need help finding a track/artist I found in this thread (or Nujabes thread) a year or so ago.

It was in a 'recommended musicians if you like Nujabes' post, and was an instrumental track. I remember the album cover/youtube art was an asian guy's head in on a scroll-sorta background with a raspy texture. Maybe some japanese characters on there somewhere.

The tune was like a hop hop beat with an old asian melody sound overtop. Sorry if that's not much to go on, haven't been able to find the artist or song since.

Thanks for any help!

Sorry for the double post, but Little People's EP came out!




The only thing is, you have to have a Facebook page already.. and Like his page to get access to it.

Edit: There you go, sorry about that :p

I think Irish accidentally added the suffix to the beginning of your name, Jaroof-san.

Also, I think Jazz-Hop would get a kick out of this. Been packing up my stuff (moving fucking sucks), and I came across my Samurai Champloo OSTs.
