Analog Division is a group consisting of Georgia based producer Nav, Virginia based producer Trey Hemingway and rapper Barz Vic from North Carolina. However their “A N L G | D I V” release is limited to beats from Nav and Trey, leaving out Barz who is currently working on his own EP. Being that Trey is the more seasoned producer out of the two, I must say I tend to favor his part of the album the most but Nav is definitely showing potential. Get the free download here.

My man Aeon just dropped this sweet instrumental project by the name of BETA MAX. 13 tracks deep, the Lessondary producer shows off his range as he goes from straight up headnodders to some laidback soulful stuff. Our favorite is “Da’ Waylay” which you can check out below. Visit Aeon’s Bandcamp to cop the full project!

Came across this beast of a Dza remix earlier by Dizz1, but when I saw Dave had uploaded the instrumental version to his Soundcloud I was like lets post this joint. Personally I wasn’t feeling the vocal version from featuring Non & Mujuice, but the instrumental kinda hit the “Bullseye”. Available via so act accordingly.

I remember the good old days when BBE released one of the best compilation series ever. All rare Soul and Funk tunes that you’d have to pay a fortune for to find on original vinyl. Great news…the “Strange Games & Funky Things” series is returning. Volume 5 is set to release later this year, but to get everyone’s attention they are releasing a limited 7-inch (1000 copies) first.
The S.S.O. Orchestra from Belgium released “Faded Lady” back in ’76 which later became a classic hip hop breakbeat. Enchanting strings and a killer bass line where more than enough reason for Diamond D to sample it on his debut album and more recently Busta Rhymes sampled it as well. August 30th is your chance to get a copy of this re-release with a very very rare instrumental version on the flipside.
