Lando Kal – Maneuver/Run It (Rush Hour)

One half of the bay area future hip hop team Lazer Sword, Lando Kal’s solo work is an altogether different kettle of bass.

Dense instrumentation, analog synth and drum machine work, complex melodies, and creeping basslines are pooled from his musical obsessions with 90’s RnB, classic house, freestyle, garage, Detroit Techno, early synthesizer music, Timbaland, and… to be honest, everything in between.

Check out this innovative release on Rush Hour Records. Vinyl well worth a space in your collection!

Also peep this – a sick collaboration with london MC’s the Foreign Beggars. It’s tracks like these that put Lando Kal amongst the most innovative of his generation.

You can download a free track by Skism and listen to a preview of the EP at the fastforwardandrewind blog. Buy the full release on download from Juno here.

Qualmsound – Genesis EP


Manchester based producer Qualmsound is devleloping a deep and atmospheric signature sound evident on his new release entitled ‘Genesis EP’ out on Soulstep Records. Uplifiting soundscapes with a dolly mixture of synths and heavy subs make this a release not to be slept on. ‘Breath’ harks back to early dubstep vibes while ‘Etheral’ has positive and bright vibes to carry you through. Breath then gets the remix treatment by Blynk. Hearing is believing. Bag it now from Juno Records.

As well as this release there are a couple of choice freebies on Qualmsounds Soundcloud. Be sure to bag them whilst they are still free – quality like this should not be taken for granted!
