yeah i know we already did a write up about this release, but we received a new Afta1 track..so you might also want to read this again..in case you were sleeping on Afta…

Afta-1 is one of the biggest talents amongst today’s beat generation. Born in California and now based in Brooklyn, Afta-1 is drawing inspiration from Sun-Ra and Flying Lotus alike, but speaks in his very own language. The best fitting label for his music is probably “cosmic”. His debut album “Aftathoughts Vol.1” was released on Circulations (Japan) and enjoyed heavy support by Benji B. Space is till the place when it comes to Afta-1. Or as the good folks over at Dusty Groove put it: “Cosmic keys and splashy beats, but all taken at a pace that’s much more laidback than other artists of this nature — not really hip hop, not really cosmic soul, but a uniquely isolated space that’s all its own!”

Go and get Aftathoughts and MPM Beat 45 #4.

2008 is a huge year for singer/songwriter Peter Hadar, that was kicked off by his surprise recognition as one of URB Magazine’s Next 100 Artists; calling him ,“the next, next big thing in R&B”. He was then featured in Billboard Magazine’s ‘Now Hear This’ section, both praising his style and determination for greatness. On June 3rd, Peter released his sophomore album ‘Well Dressed for the Art Show’ which further separates him from the pack; delving deeper into his Electronica, Glam, and Experimental flavor. His background in fashion extends his versatility, style, and influence. Nothing can stop this Cool Weirdo’s International TakeOver. Peter Hadar’s album “Well dressed for the art show” is available here.

Painted was produced by one of our favorite producers who goes by the name of Afta-1. If Aftathoughts-Vol1 isn’t in your daily playlist already, go cop that over here!! Also listen to the rare Esthero-Superheroes (Afta-1 Remix) on MoovmntDOTcom.

AFTA-1
Just got a hold on this instrumental album Aftathoughts Vol.1 from Afta-1. This guy makes Flying Lotus’ 1983 sound like a bunch of noise. Well you know we love Flylo, but Afta-1 will definetely be played till “Secret Formula” drops.

“With his instrumental album, Aftathoughts Vol.1, Afta-1 gives you an opportunity to hear the music again. These aren’t backing tracks, this isn’t a beat tape: this is the soundtrack to your life.
You can find Afta-1 eight hours in the future. He’s sitting on a supernova, shooting down Pluto moons with love; then running back and laying the track in your lap. Brush the moon dust off your clothes and plug in your speakers for a shape-shifting, time-collapsing, body-breaking, heart-merging experience.
Press play
Afta-1 beats leave your speakers to travel through the universe and give black holes new heartbeats. They’re playing this on Venus, they eat this for breakfast on Neptune, they live by this on Saturn. The love hums in the stratosphere, vibrating right back to your ears. Let the bass line touch base with you, down-deep. Fluff pillows for sleep and recline in the melody. Give way to drum patterns that change pulse patterns. Imbibe these rhythms and keep them for the journey. Pack these wavelengths in your suitcase, pour them in your flask, keep one in the car.”
Be a part of history. http://www.aftathoughts.com/

You should just buy this album for only $6, you will never get a better deal in your life. If you are questioning if it’s worth it. Listen to this….
