Pragmatic Theory: Lightworks

Here are 29 flavorful tracks to help your work day, or at least an hour of it, go by a little smoother. Some of the top names in the underground beat game have contributed to this collection. Big shouts to Pragmatic Theory for making this all possible. I look forward to more good music from this collective of artists. By the way, you can have the whole collection as a courtesy to take along with you.

Le Flah featuring Khaderbai [Dec.7th]

Days ago I received an impressive press release from the Le Flah crew who throws a monthly beat showcase in Zurich, Switzerland that started in Septmber and has already featured beatsmiths Sterneis, Melodiesinfonie and the Tru Comers! thus far. For the month of December, they will feature the hot sounds of Khaderbai. The following is an excerpt from their press kit that describes the event...

Le Flah celebrates the beat in music, on every month's first Saturday. In the rather familiar atmosphere of the Piccolo Giardino in Zurich, beatmakers play their favorite creations for a enthuastic audience, released or unreleased pieces, neatly finished compositions or works in progress, on MPCs, SP1200s, laptops or turntables: headnodding guaranteed! Responsible for swinging hips and stomping feet is the SMK-DJ-Duo (SLM & Khaderbai): WHOOP WHOOP!

The beat playing in the video is "Gymnobéatie #2" that's available to stream or download on his Soundcloud and Bandcamp pages. Check out the promo video, then go get that goodness. Enjoy!

Digital Moods: Fall Edition v.1 (Podcast)

Recently, I did this mix to kick off my new series of mixes for the four seasons that will feature indie electronica producers and artists. I plan to do about 2 mixes per season. Since fall is presently here, I crafted this one to have the sounds reflective of the way I think autumn would sound like, as do some of the artists who do tracks with the same thought. This one, like the others will have a full tracklisting and links to the artist's pages or websites. I would hope that everyone who listens will be supportive of these artists and buy their material. Music is valuable!

Melodiesinfonie: Wärme

The weather is cool, but Melodiesinfonie warms us up with another fantastic track from his beat arsenal. His latest, "Wärme", will surely set the tone for you to sit back and relax. With rush hour about to kick in at any moment, it's your option to bump this on the trek home or wait til you slip into something comfortable and unwind. ENJOY!

Melodiesinfonie: Bathroomdance

As the sun sets on this lovely Sunday summer evening, this is the perfect soundtrack from Swiss producer Melodiesinfonie for the occasion. He's uploaded his "Bathroomdance" bump for free by way of his Soundcloud page. Pay him a visit, follow and say thanks. Don't forget to support!

Melodiesinfonie - ∆ove

Don't know much about this cat Melodiesinfonie, however, he is dope with his flavor of production. I was browsing users on Soundcloud (again) and came across this youngster from Switzerland. I listened to a few of his tracks and like his crunchy snares. Also the way he pays homage to golden era Hip-Hop by using classic drums kits and styling to make his tracks. In light of how things are these days, we need some "∆ove". Enjoy!
