I’m on a beat LP kick lately and came across this on Bloggerhouse. After seeing the dope cover art around the net for a few weeks, I pulled the trigger and thought “what the hell.”
As the story apparently goes, these two producers live in Bed-Stuy (hey neighbors!) and sampled exclusively 70’s records from one of their enormous record collections. The result was this. I love the minimal added percussion, but the beats all carry a very infectious groove. To me, that means these were extremely well composed. Often times, if the drum beat goes too hard, it’s usually making up for something that isn’t there. That’s not to say I don’t love me some drums, but hey, you get where I’m going; I just love the way these beats groove all based on the way the samples were flipped.
Enjoy it! And donate to them if you feel so inclined.
