Ohhh. That explains it!
And nice.. I want those! Must've been pretty expensive.

On another note, I just checked this album out by Esbe..
There's a whopping 40 tracks on this album!

Pretty tight. Some good down-tempo beats in there.
I noticed his name because of the Nujabes tribute that was done by him and Jenova 7.

Wow.. just found out Esbe and Jenova 7 are on the same label. Even more of a reason to check out his stuff.

I don't think they were that expensive, bought them YEARS ago, so I forget. I'm pretty sure they're bootleg copies. Pretty good looking ones, but not the original.

This is great, reminds me (obviously) of A Mixtape About Nothing by Wale, which I love.

This is largely instrumental. It's also fucking wicked.

'Electric Mud' and 'The Howlin' Wolf Album' are pretty much perfect to me. I could happily sit and listen to both on rotation for longer than would be considered regular or healthy. I have done just that on many occasions, in fact.

So with this in mind, my instinct to dissect and forensically examine the music I truly love was too hard to resist and ultimately, this led to what you have here. These are two albums that to me, if I may put them in a modern perspective, bang relentlessly and thoroughly in every way and I love them so hard. It felt like it would be too easy to just snatch straight up loops from them (although that would sound wonderful of course), and I had the thought of making some re-edits in some way or another, but I decided on reconstructing them both and blending them together in that way.

This is produced from well over 750 chops of both albums combined.

If you haven't yet heard 'Electric Mud' by Muddy Waters, or 'The Howlin' Wolf Album', I cannot recommend them highly enough. Try and find them on vinyl if you can- trust me. If not, get yourself the CDs. If you are already familiar with both albums, I hope you enjoy what I've created from them.

Every chop made with care and respect.

Every step programmed with love.

Please spread this around if you enjoy (with a link to this page), I would really appreciate that.

You're the best. Thank you.

Come on, man.. there's so much music by so many different artists in here, it isn't even funny.. Listen around a bit before you throw that out there.
If you still think it all sounds the same after listening to what this thread has to offer, it's just not for you.

Although the album is now Free we highly appreciate if you could donate as much as you possibly can to Global Giving and their Japanese efforts: www.globalgiving.org

&#8220;Hope For Tomorrow&#8221; is our humble idea to make a difference. We are reaching out to YOU to support our efforts in providing help for those struggling in the aftermath. Our friends at Kevin Nottingham have come on board to assist in the release of a charity album. We are grateful to be in a position to use the talents of some of the undergrounds most respected hip-hop artists.

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.

Alright GAF, lemme introduce you to some additional jazz-hop stuff you might not know.
There is this incredibly talented polish rapper by the name of O.S.T.R. who since his career started over 10 LP's ago he was producing his own stuff and was ever since a big jazz fan. I'll start off with an instrumental that is a bit older. O.S.T.R. - Jazz Nocnym Rytmem
This guy puts instrumentals of all his tracks on a bonus CD for each Album, which is a pretty neat bonus.
Call me crazy but i think this guy is the polish FlyLo when it comes to talent. this whole track is panned out so great: O.S.T.R. - Flow Virus
Now for people who aren't bothered by spoken words in languages they don't understand the next tracks might be of interest
O.S.T.R. - Jazz w Wolnych Chwilach
Alright I'll wrap up with a classic rap track where anyone will know the sample, nonetheless great. Fisz - Polepiony
Oh well, let's have one more: Tworzywo Sztuczne - Instrumental 3

Yay someone else who acknowledges Marcus D! I can't wait for Retro'd to come out!

I ordered his Melancholy Prequel CD, but I don't think he's going to send it anytime soon. I think the dude is in Japan. Melancholy Hopeful is one of my favorite albums though.

Not gonna lie.. after you recommended his stuff, I checked out Melancholy Hopeful, and damn, what an album. I'm officially a fan.
I also saw that you loved his Bop Alloy stuff.. any album in particular you'd recommend?

Regarding the Melancholy Prequel CD:
I also ordered it about two weeks ago.. and it took like a week to get here. So he'll definitely send it out. For some reason, I got two CDs, though o_O
They both have the same packaging, with the same artwork.
I don't think there's anything different on them..

I think Bop Alloy only has one album out and Marcus D doesn't seem to have that many albums. I think there's one called shoshin but I have only heard a few tracks from that.

There's this thing too, but haven't listened to it yet...

catchup post! no updates on Eternal Soul yet either, sadly...last update was mid-July, but at least the shot was in Shibuya so hopefully that means filming is coming along.

my man Rebel brings quality....wow this is nice. im glad the page mentioned Howl's Castle, idve been stuck trying to place that one otherwise.
verses arent bad (remind me of one of the hydeout MCs, i forget the name) but ill prolly rock the instrumental more.

Tall Black Guy - Brazilian Chronicles

I was inspired to create this album. Incorporating chopped, remixed and flipped samples of various Brazilian artists.

Even though there hasn't been any updates lately, I still find gold that I had skipped over in the past.

Love.
This.
Thread.

Another little update on something I've found:
For those of you that remember Kinack, I found out that there were some unreleased tracks on his soundcloud that you can download for the low, low price of for free!

His stuff is so atmospheric. Love it.

Kenichiro Nishihara of Life and Humming Jazz has a new project out called ESNO - Visionary. More electronica, but definitely jazzy.
Click to expand...

i am so here for this, Humming Jazz was one of my favorite non-Hydeout finds, still go back to that constantly.
the YT tracks were great too, i love it. Visionary trips me out because it kinda belongs on a Katamari OST in my head, haha.
