I‘ve been listening to Trae‘s third album „Restless“ a lot the last couple of days.
Great Southern Hip Hop album from the early 2000‘s!

Other than DJ Premiere, Pete Rock and RZA, Q-TIP and Ali Shaheed Muhammad from A Tribe Called Quest are my top producers for creating unbelievable sounds in hip hop.
My Dad was a DJ and hearing so many familiar and new to my ears pieces in hip hop have just opened my ears throughout my life. Good stuff.

Amoeba’s What’s in my bag? is one of my favourite things to watch on YT, really top notch stuff.
 
WAKE UP FPV MIC...



... Job done. Thank you Leo and Hannah 🤘

I was going to say that it's been far too long since I've fired up his YouTube channel to listen to his new stuff... but he doesn't seem to have anything new. Which is a shame.

And every one of his videos deserves more views. The amount of work and the quality of the videos he makes is crazy.

I still go back through it now and then and I agree, he does deserve more views/likes. It's such an oddball list of songs that there's always something for every (metal) mood.

With all the touring he does now, a family, and his studio to keep him busy I suppose he could only keep up with the one a week for so long... unfortunately.
 
Over 2 decades ago a couple of Brits, fed up with the state of dance music, were sure that dance/EDM could be so much more than it was. They started a band called Hybrid to explore this idea.

Since then they have gone on to create music for and score various films and videogames, as well as release a multitude of albums. While the original Wide Angle album is host to what is arguably their most popular song in Finished Symphony, I present one of their more recent tracks for your consideration.

Flashpoint by Hybrid.

Coming off of Hybrid/Flashpoint, put me in the mood for something different.

A handful of years ago while browsing Netflix for a new anime to watch, Netflix suggested Sound & Fury. Seemed to fit my interests - protagonist wearing a Samurai helmet/Oni facemask and a classic American muscle car. Should be interesting. I watched it from start to finish and it was not what I expected. It turned out to be one of my favorite albums that year, for Sound & Fury is not an anime...

Sturgill Simpson at the time was a rapidly rising Country music star. Carving his own path and gaining a lot of fans along the way. While touring, he decided his next album should be different from what came before it, so started writing Sound & Fury.

The music is a mix of electronica, funk, soul, rhythm and blues, with a country lyric. To accompany this and again to be different, Sturgill enlisted various anime and manga artists, giving them specific tracks to create anime for. The result of this was a 40 minute anime movie/anthology that was released on Netflix along side the album.

A lot of his fans were not pleased. Lucky for me, I didn't know Sturgill Simpson prior to starting Sound & Fury.
