ONRA & QUETZAL - PRESENT TRIBUTE EP 2 (2008)

This 7" by Onra, released recently by french "Favorite Records" is for you who likes soul!

Onra & Quetzal have been working with a cd that's a tribute to the soul sound of the seventies. On this second 7" from the project they squeeze in four tracks. All tracks are worth the price of the record alone, so I can really recommend you to put your hand on this record as soon as possible.

First I thought this was a tribute to Dilla or something because they uses kind of a similar technique in chopping up samples as dilla did in the end of his life. Not biting though, this record has its own sound.

For you who like to buy cd's, get the full lenght album! (For us who don't there are two 7" waiting for our crates from the project)

J-LIVE - THE UPGRADE/THE UNDERSTANDING (2008)

Top 5 12" and songs this year and J-LIVE does it again! How I love the sound of "The Understanding". Simple beat created with some mellow keys and a soft drumline. Really good.

The Upgrade is produced by one of my american favourite producers nowadays, Oddisee. Sample based beat with some horns straight from the crate. And J-Live, as usual he kicks it real tight over theese two masterpiece beats.

If, you haven't got it yet, get it, don't download it. This shit belongs on wax and the artists needs your support.
