“Bugseed is a common name that can refer to: Corispermum, Chenopodiaceae // Dicoria canescens, Asteraceae”

A little over two years ago Bugseed made his own name with the release of Bohemian Beatnik, a beat tape straight out of the Hip Hop heretage of Japan. Since then the beatsmith has gone from strength to strength (to the point he was featured on Wiz’ Taylor Allerdice tape… even though that was a kinda whack situation…) and become a real favourite on Word is Bond. Known for raw, fat beats, straight neck snappers, it’s boom bap at its most fundamental but remaining utterly unique with unmistakable heavy jazz flips.


However, Bohemian Beatnik still remains one of the best underground instrumental albums to come out of Japan and to mark it Bugseed is releasing it on 2 Vinyl LPs. There are links to purchase the Vinyl here as well as more information – including announcements of fresh releases to come soon. As a huge fan of the guy, I’m real psyched to see this re-release and goes to show how far he’s come. Here’s hoping we hear many, many more…
