Lo-Fi Scientists - Jazz Baby (MP3)
Lo-Fi Scientists - Ego Trippin' (MP3)
Lo-Fi Scientists - The Trunk (with Cheese, 34 Pro, T-Pick & LR-60) (MP3)

It is nice to see how a transatlantic musical collaboration can work so well. Mr. Moods is a canadian beat veteran, who has released several albums freely on the internet. One day he stumbled upon Le Rêveur, a french jazz sample master, and Lo-Fi Scientists were born.

The practical result of that? Four tracks of scratch and sample wizardry, that should be enjoyed with the “repeat” button on. Sweet jazz with a hip-hop layered structure,“vinyl cuts and crispy phat beats”, not so lo-fi as their name suggests.

Ok, so it may not be a perfect record, but it's definitely worth the time you take to listen to it all. Over and over again. And if you need to take a break, don't dismiss a soundtrack like this!

Black Era - "your own purple" (MP3)
Black Era - "martyr (reason)" (MP3)

Black Era don't only produce gloomy music, they want to make a statement against fascism, suppressing people and all other ugly people... Unfortunately I don't understand italian, but I suppose that's why on the release page of  "Third eye guerrilla EP" they linked people like Enrico Mattei, Pier Paolo Pasolini or Giovanni Falcone who where used with their voice to make a statement.

Great release!

Telafonica - "Angels We Have Heard On High" (MP3)
Eliza Magill - "Joy To The World" (MP3)

Actually, this compilation is only four songs and one musical collective:

Sydney-based Telafonica start with their version of "Angels We Have Heard On High". Absolutely intriguing, the band contrasts their coldish Trip Hop / Electronica sound with the heavenly "Gloria, in excelsis Deo" hookline of the traditional carol. Wonderful voices (Magill/ Elmer), wonderful trumpets.

Second is Telafonica songstress Eliza Magill. Her version of "Joy to the World" is far more traditional, but nonetheless skilful and beautiful. In duet with the male vocals (Adrian Elmer), the whole version sounds like a light-hearted version of Low (who must be names when it comes to Christmas carols of course). Fully acoustic, intimate recording, a heartbreaker.

The Lessons in Time hails from New South Wales and deliver the lopsided part of this compilation. Pretentious on first listen, a revelation at repeated performance! Blake Wassell, the lad behind the moniker, delivers an emotional lo-fi version of "O Holy Night" and raises the hymnal potential of the original to higher power. The Australian Liger? Oh, he plays in Telafonica as well!

Eventually, Telafonica join for a last hymnal. "Good News (Sing for Joy)" I wasn't able to identify properly, but who cares? Trip Hop and electronic music-influenced Popmusic, only the female vocals fit the concept better.

Thank heavens to nethymnal.org for the spiritual guidance!

Velure - "Walk Home" (MP3)
Velure - "Resonate" (MP3)
Velure - "Birdy" (MP3)

Just open up and open your ears for the extraordinary "Walk Home". Roy John, Lachlan Carrick, Dan West and Christopher Hale did a great job to accompany their stylish songstress. Together we nod to their heavy beats, the grumbling bass and the melancholic sounds. Or get freaky to the dark vibes of the drum'n'bass "Resonate". Delicious!

What I like so much about "Songbox", is the fact that you discover all these reminiscences to different styles of music. Be it Dub, Reggae, Hip Hop or Drum'n'Bass: the australian Trip Hop Band manages to mix their influences smartly together and it works. It's a little miracle how all these influences come together to present us a delicate EP from beginning to end.

The only downside of "Songbox" is that we still miss a follow-up. These five accurate tracks just make my ears thursty for more. Let's be patient and digg this EP. Rewind!

I love heavy beats. And Niteffect enjoys building slow but complex downtempo beats. Each rhythm of his tracks was build with care. His heavy beats consist of slow TripHop-armory combined with atmospheric sounds of all kinds. Sometimes his beats trash loud like on "crack on the head" , sometimes they deliver a more intense feeling like a meditating buddhist like in "sleeping sickness" or "black mack". Original and excellent is the fact, that the whole album has an inner core like a magnetic field. All tracks fit together very well.

PS: "Fragments" is available in FLAC and HiFi-MP3s. Thumb up!

"Urban Netaudio Mixtape Vol.1" is p3t3r's first netaudio mix and for a debut his mix is a magnetic mix to come down, lean back and enjoy some wonderful grooves. I think, you'll agree, too, after listening: every bit a hit! Thank you p3t3r for this one :)

On "Soda Fountain" you'll find wonderful TripHop with an edge of jazz, electronic sounds and on top Twizzles voice. Her vocals let you imagine her dancing in an old and smokey jazzclub. Or singing in a bar with a humpty-dumpty piano. Every song is a little hit and if you like music by De-Phazz, Portishead or Goldfrapp, you sure dig into this wonderful netlabel release.

Flux and Vega is the creative encounter between Gabriela Vega and José Rendón with the aim of producing TripHop with more experimental genres. Every track of their project is lead by the sweet voice of Gabriela Vega. With her pop-orientated voice she leads us through seven melodic songs bouncing on 2-step-beats, leaning back on downbeats or some hopping on house-inspired beats. When Massive Attack or Portishead live in a land of dark melancholy, Flux and Vega relax on a sun-flooded beach. You can give your soul a rest too. Just join their music-trip.
