SOUL JAZZ RECORDS: FUTURE BASS




This new release from Soul Jazz Records is the record I have been most excited about for ages, and I haven't even heard most of it! The first single from the album is a 12" from Four Tet and Mala (a record most people would buy without hearing). Now the Ramadanman track has also been posted on the SJ soundcloud. Listen to these tracks below and then when the release comes out, buy it!

Ramadanman - Bass Drums (Future Bass Exclusive) by Soul Jazz Records

PAPER TIGER


Paper Tiger is a new find for myself and what a find they are!! Perfect for the end of a heavy summer. Their beats are identifiable for their incredible piano melodies, dark string lines, and crisp drum programming.'Made Like Us' is his best work to date. If your a fan of Bonobo and Aim then 'Paper Tiger' is a definite for you. Make sure you check out thier earlier work, 'False Hopes' available also from their bandcamp.
