The second “tape” in the UpMyAlley Beatnicks Series is online now for free download!
The man behind Vol.2 is Powell straight outta Paris, already known from his “Dimension X” track on Beatnicks Vol.2 with more releases to come later this year on UpMyAlley.
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.

A 22-year-old hailing from Glasgow, he has been perfecting his craft since the age of 12. After only releasing a handful of productions and painstakingly hard-to-find vinyl releases in the last few years, Hudson Mohawke has managed to become a much talked about producer.
He’s responsible for spearheading a movement of next generation beat music that has exploded from Glasgow this year (also see Rustie, Wireblock, LuckyMe, Numbers). It’s not just a Scottish thing either – these last six months have seen Hudson set off touring America, Australia & all across Europe!
With an ear for a pop hook and a forward thinking production aesthetic, our bets are that 2009 will hold an awful lot of action for this young producer. If you don’t believe us yet, wait for this killer first EP on Warp – with his debut album in the pipeline. warp. Get it now on Rushhour.

Last weekend I was Twittin’ it and stumbled upon this Suff Daddy track I hadn’t heard before. I thought it was about time we did a write-up about this producer from Berlin so here it is. He produced music for Kissey Asplund and on his EP “EFIL4FFUS” (Melting Pot) he teamed up with the likes of Kev Brown, Oddisee and Miles Bonny. Suff sent us some exclusive joints and we wanted to share LOTTAHYDRO with ya’ll.
Hopefully he will drop his new EP this april or may and also be sure you check out his free mixtapes on his myspace!
Support this artist and buy his music HERE.

Just a quick post for the hell of it. We were at Rushhour a couple of days ago and Nevill and me checked out this Grooveman Spot track we hadn’t heard before. The a-side “2 Things” with John Robinson didn’t really snap our necks, but when we heard the b-side “Down To You” feat. Muhsinah we knew we had to post this one. This 12inch was released late november, but since we don’t buy a whole lot of vinyl I guess we missed this one. Buy this record or the mp3’s and support these artists!

D3 is a collective of 3 MC’s: Emer Gea, Kwame and Vestat & 3 beatmakers: Tayreeb, Gea, Zebon.
They made a mixtape as an homage to Detroit artists like J Dilla (R.I.P.), Black Milk, Phat Kat, Guilty Simpson and Slum Village. The reason why they made the mixtape is because they want to introduce the Detroit sound to France. Amsterdam-based producer SirOJ also did a production on the album (U&I) so get this one on iTunes when it drops!
