It won’t be fair not to show love to the cats that work behind the boards. Cats whose soundscapes help push hip-hop to loft heights. So in the same vein, this weekly list sheds light on budding and even established producers who continue to push the envelope for the culture. So sit back relax and get familiar with these producers.
Remember, don’t forget to support them by sharing their works.

Fool Parsley – 1060.

We start off this week’s top 10 list with a debut jam from Philipp Sánchez aka Fool Parsley. The Vienna, Austria based producer takes us to his humble beginnings on this beat he calls “1060”.  Crafted using only analog gear, Fool Parsley blends lush synths and keys in solemn tones to really drive home the nostalgic effect of reliving the past. The multi-instrumentalist used an EKO P200 synth, bass, piano over mellow drums and the result is solid from start to finish.

Lexisugar – You’re Beautiful.

Lexisugar (real names Alexander Akpan-Ita) delivers a dreamy reflective beat he calls “You’re beautiful” on our list this week.  The track has more of a laid back R&B fused with some hip-hop vibes.

 The song/instrumental can be streamed on all platforms, and/or can be leased to any interested artist for partial ownership. Visit HERE for more info.

 

 

DefByMisadventure – no.5.

DefByMisadventure returns with another beat for us. He calls this “no.5” and it starts off pretty nifty. We hear a lot of percussions on this one which serves as the backbone of the beat a sit switches every now and then from the guitar riffs to obscure vocal samples. Being a benevolent producer that he is, he also gives us an insight into the origins of the beat by proving the sample source courtesy of Gypsy Kings. It’s quite engaging so hit the play button.

“no.5” is off his upcoming  EP called ‘Fuck La Mancha‘.

Radicule‘s works have been a staple on our site and his new collaboration with Dweeb carries on the tradition. Titled “Schooter”, the track carries this innocent, nostalgia-inducing vibe with its layered instrumentation and laid back drum groove. The concept behind it is a hot summer day with kids going gaga when they hear the sound of the ice cream truck to fire hydrants flowing free into the streets, and heat wafting off of MTA buses amongst other things.

“Schooter”  is off the album  ‘Sesame Kids‘. Get it on Spotify

Rotterdam based producer Glimlip’s newest release “Katana” sees him working with a handful of instrumentalists from guitarist/keyboard player Yasper to Saxophonist Soul Food Horns.

Hania Obeah – “Goldfish Ballet”

“Goldfish Ballet” is Paris based multi-instrumentalist Hania Obeah’s newest release that showcases a plethora of styles. Blending jazz, lo-fi elements and hiphop, “Goldfish Ballet” takes the listener through the emotions with its enthralling keys and dynamic chord progression.

Tieran – Golden Hour.

MC/Producer Tieran makes his way on our top 10 list with his new instrumental titled “Golden Hour.” A smooth alluring jam that is nostalgic and relaxing at the same time. The Columbus-based artist delivers a lo-fi gem that is built on smooth keys, snappy drums, and a throbbing bassline to match. “Golden Hour.” is taken from his new lo-fi inspired instrumental album titled ‘Sunday’. A befitting tribute to the first day of the week.
