Buddy Peace - 2009 - Late Model Sedan
Cat#: sfr-bplms
Format: Digital
Date: 18 Aug 2009
Style: Instrumental Hip-Hop, Abstract, Experimental
Turntable genius and mixtape maestro Buddy Peace returns with his first official digital long-player, released on the Strange Famous label. Blending together supremely artful drum-sculpting with snippets of more abstract sounds (as well as a wide-ranging palette of vocal samples, this makes for one of this year's more interesting and organically experimental hip hop instrumental suites. More so than on most albums of this ilk, Buddy's music really takes you on a journey of some sort, but better still, along the way your travelling companions will be a dazzling array of beats, ranging from dark and jazzy, off-kilter figures (as on 'Hawkstring Corpse') to heavier, hiss-laden break treatments ('Arcade Murderflash'). Expertly put together and inventive throughout, Late Model Sedan comes recommended to all open-minded hip hop heads.

Para - 2009 - Fallen on Def Ears
The debut album from the man billed as "the South West's answer to Cut Chemist", following on from a slew of mix CDs and scratch tools he's released. Fallen On Def Ears ignores current dominant trends in hip hop production and instead opts for a more vintage sound, full of cuts, scratches, reconstituted funk breaks and soulful vocal snippets. Obvious reference points would be... well, much of the Ninja Tune catalogue, although on a song like 'Save Your Breath' it gets even more Freshers Week-circa-1996 with a shameless nod towards big-beat, coming across as being a bit Norman Cook. Productions like 'Rescue Me' and 'It's The Hornet' are arguably more successful for sounding more like old 45s in their own right, and when it comes to stitching together samples in a classic cut & paste fashion, Para's clearly got a real craftsman's ear.

Lambent - 2009 - Smoothness Extract (Deep Night at Ishigaki)
Cat#: PMC047
Format: CD
Date: 2 Oct 2009
Style: Instrumental Hip-Hop, Downtempo, Abstract, Breaks, Experimental
‘Smoothness Extract (Deep Night At Ishigaki)’ is Lambent’s third full-length, and his first on Project Mooncircle, following previous albums more rooted in experimental ambient electronics for Insine and Expanding.
This record presents his sound in the context of instrumental hip hop, with strong elements of electronica still present. You could group it with the recent wave of Dilla-inspired beats, but equally it could sit with Autechre when they’re at 90 BPM. The album came about after Project Mooncircle heard some of Lambent’s tracks and fell in love with the calmer and smoother parts of his often intense sound. Hence, Lambent compiled these seventeen extracts from the gentler side of his repertoire.
This album is made as his dedication towards a small Japanese island, named Ishigaki. Berlin-resident Lambent is originally from Japan, but he has never visited this place… ‘Smoothness Extract’ is the soundtrack to a summer night trip around the island, visiting the many different aspects of the scenery, nature, feelings, emotions, sights and sounds as Lambent imagines them.

Lord Newborn & The Magic Skulls - 2009 - Lord Newborn & The Magic Skulls
Label: Ubiquity Records
Cat#: URLP256
Format: 2xLP
Date: 8 Sep 2009
Style: Jazz-Funk, Soul, Prog Rock, Psychedelic
Lord Newborn and the Magic Skulls is the collaborative project of esteemed sound scientists Money Mark, Shawn Lee, and Tommy Guerrero. In the winter of 2008 they locked themselves away in Money Marks Los Angeles-based studio for two weeks. A tasty three-way meeting of the minds resulted in this funk-inflicted collection of beats n’ breaks, wrapped-up in a sunny West Coast musical tortilla that’s smothered in as much jazz and prog-rock as it is in soulful psychedelia.
