TRACKLISTING
In August 1996, a Brooklyn duo consisting of MC Outloud and DJ
P.F. Cuttin, better known to the world as Blahzay Blahzay, released
“Blah Blah Blah”, their one and only album, on Fader Records. The
album’s 13 tracks proudly waved the flag of the East, featuring hit
single “Danger”, as well as other bangers such as “Pain I Feel”, “Good
Cop/Bad Cop” and “Danger - Part 2” (featuring Smoothe Da Hustler,
Trigger Tha Gambler and Wu-Tang affiliate La the Darkman). The
combination of PF Cuttin’s polished beats and Outloud’s aggressive
lyrical style made this album a classic for all underground hip-hop
heads.
Twenty-one years after its original release, Blahzay Blahzay have
teamed up with Italian independent record label Tuff Kong Records
to bring back their legendary “Blah Blah Blah” LP. This spring, Tuff
Kong Records will be releasing the album on 2LP, re-mastered for
vinyl and featuring the original artwork, as a limited edition run of
1000 copies.

TRACKLISTING
We’re seeing red! Promnite’s absolutely mental Snake Charmer EP
gets the physical edition it deserves. This ain’t no Soundcloud special
— Snake Charmer is a four-track dive into life itself, showcasing the
collaborative songwriting chops, elevated sound design and always-
funky approach that makes Promnite one of the most exciting young
producers in the game. This Cali-via-NYC producer (and co-founder
of LA’s beloved Athletixx DJ collective) eschews run-of-the mill
bangers for the bittersweet turn up of “Gunsmoke,” featuring Denzel
Curry, Nell, J.K. The Reaper and Twelve’len, and short-story worthy
clubland tales on “Ride Around” with Adam Vida. Meanwhile, Prom’s
smooth stepper “Call Me” with Mark Johns nuzzles up against
the space-age trunk rattle of “Cruise’n USA,” featuring LaDonnis.
Promnite is bringing the love back to club music. For all their futuristic
thump and sonic precision, the tracks on his Snake Charmer EP are
wonderfully, messily human.

Austin-based musician Eliot Lipp delivers “Skywave”; an album Lipp has been working on for the past several months. With influences from sci-fi soundtracks and 70s and 80s funk, he channels a collection of weird, high-definition, melodic beats. In these nine songs Lipp feels he “might have everything I want to say in one moment.” Recreating key musical moments in a current and relatable way was the goal in producing Skywave and giving himself permission to take some risks as well. With a versatile approach, Lipp has created opportunities to connect with some of the artists he first looked up to, playing in cities across America and abroad always returning to his hometown in the Pacific Northwest. Collaboration plays a role in all his albums. He’s been a fan of Emancipator for a years now and was beyond excited to get his “Not Quite Awake” remix. He asked DMC champ Chris Karns to scratch on ‘Joyride’. In addition to doing cuts, Chris ended up playing live drums and layering unique vocal samples.‘Reflection’ came from a jam session with Gibbz and Cherub in their Nashville studio. One of Lipp’s biggest musical influences last year came from a group of producers from Seattle that call themselves Fish Tank Friends. Most of them had a hand in the early stages of ‘Spiders’. With monthly trips planned from Texas back to Washington, he anticipates more evenings surrounded by friends, fans, and new listeners where he brings everyone together through the touch of a button. “Skywave” is released by Detroit label on Young Heavy Souls. Available on vinyl, CD and cassette.

TRACKLISTING (Click Tracks In Blue To Preview Audio)
Under the glow of moonlight, Zak Damundo has arrived on the Cold
Busted label scene with his fantastic debut album 3am. The alias
of San Francisco DJ / producer Zach DeVincent, Zak Damundo
presents 18 original and sampled beats that are mixed continuously
in the physical realm, but also available digitally as individual cuts. An
underground dance music veteran, DeVincent is the host of SWIM
on Digitally Imported Radio, an affiliate of the Bay Area’s independent
hip-hop TV program Distortion 2 Static, and has released tunes for
the likes of 5 and Dime Recordings, Acryl Music, Looq Records, and
Open Bar Music.
3am is aptly titled as the tracks transmit a dead-of-night vibe, with
loose rhythms, spacey samples, and lush melodic constructions.
The continuously mixed version shows Zak and the album in their
element, as a solitary evening journey motoring through city streets
is sonically intimated. Individually, the album’s cuts are prime movers
for the crafty selector, perfectly elevating the after-hours lounge DJ
set. 3am opens with “Soul” which draws from ‘quiet storm’ 80s funk
in the low end and dreamy, ambient 90s electronica through its
swirling pads. The stylistic combination is infectious and continues
throughout this evocative album. Other highlights include the echoed
guitar chops and rising pads of “Comedown”, “Drift”’s pristine, laid-
back jazz-funk textures, the dramatic strings and piano over a
boom-bap beat in “Say Goodnight”, and the lovely, immersive hip
hop soundscape of “Venice”. Zak Damundo is on point, and 3am is
recommended for any nocturnal hour.

TRACKLISTING (Click Tracks In Blue To Preview Audio)
In 1999, the duo of DJ T-Rock & Squashy Nice formed in Atlanta.
Squashy Nice is an accomplished beats producer, and DJ T-Rock
is a scratch-master responsible for battle records on the likes of
Bomb Hip-Hop Records, Stereo-Type, and Replicant Music Trading
Corp. Together they released three party-ready instrumental hip
hop albums for New Zealand’s Why Records label. Now based from
coast-to-coast (Squashy Nice in New York and DJ T-Rock in Los
Angeles), the duo has joined the Cold Busted family for their fourth
album, the satisfying seventeen track Back To The Essence.
Showcasing the variety and breadth that Squashy Nice’s beats and
samples and DJ T-Rock’s scratches can provide, the tracks on Back
To The Essence swerve from party rockers to soulful, thoughtful
numbers featuring vocals from New Zealand vocalist Miss Glue.
Among the standouts are the opening “Hit The Breaks”, combining
harmonica, ’60s style fuzz guitar, heavy beats, and some crucial
vocal scratches; “Let Them Be”, with Miss Glue’s lovely vocals
providing a counterpoint to acoustic guitar cut-ups; and “Watch The
Clouds”, featuring gentle piano, a loungey string section breakdown,
and wistful vocals from Squashy Nice. Back To The Essence should
be ingested whole, as its plentiful tracks radiate fun, funk, and good
vibes. It’s like a virtual block party dropping down wherever its cuts
are playing.

Will Sprott, former frontman/songwriter for the Bay Area cult indie/
soul/folk act The Mumlers strikes out on his own for this two song
limited 45 release. After two LP’s on Galaxia Records and a national
tour with Black Heart Procession, the Mumlers eventually disbanded
and Will moved about the West Coast using different recording
avenues to put together his first solo record, the eclectic, spectral
“Vortex Numbers.” A super limited handmade cassette and CD
release, “Vortex Numbers” proves Will’s progression as a songwriter
and singer. The two songs chosen from that record to be released
here showcase his range of writing styles. The A Side, “Psychic
Lady” is a surf-beat-shuffle with a murky lo-fi vibe. The flip side, “Little
Bells” is a haunting swirling moody cut full of beauty and tension.

URBNET proudly signs Japanese beat maker/producer duo
BudaMunk & ill Sugi and launches their latest album entitled Spirit
of the Golden Era. The release will be available on limited edition
cassette.
Budamunk & ill Sugi - Spirit of the Golden Era The 90s were, in
many ways, the golden era of Hip-Hop music—a time when its
expression was still pure and raw. BudaMunk is one of the rightful
heirs to that golden era, and together with the younger Nasty Ill
Brother Sugi (who has also studied Hip-Hop’s lineage) the two
artists form an intergenerational sound that honors the soul of Hip-
Hop’s remix legacy. Excavating beats from the dusty depths of Hip-
Hop’s past, the duo refashioned forgotten beat-styles (like the “boom
bap”) to vibrate once again in a manner that is very different from
contemporary offshoots of the sound. The “boom bap” was never
truly gone—it just fell out of style. But it has returned and found a new
home in the aesthetic spirit, vision and composition of BudaMunk
and Ill.Sugi. These beats will surely put the diaphrams of your audio
equipment to work!

TRACKLISTING (Click Tracks In Blue To Preview Audio)
The time has come for BadboE to return to once again rock the floors
across the planet with an explicit 4-track party breaks EP. The Ghetto
Funk Testament is BadboE’s interpretation of the sound of ghetto
funk that has been causing so much hype over the last few years.
The 4 funky bangers on this double A-sided EP is taking it back
to where it all started – as sample-heavy – upbeat party smashing
music!
This is the first major release from BadboE since his successful
second album Pump Up The Funk that dropped in 2012. Followed by
an instrumental EP and a remix album, which very much celebrated
the ghetto funk sound with tunes from the very best in the scene.
Making a full Ghetto Funk EP was a natural next step for one of the
pioneer players in the funky breaks scene, who has been one of
the go-to sources for all funky DJs for the last 10 years. BadboE’s
approach on ghetto funk however is not taking itself too serious, but
focuses on the good samples and heavy beats and just enough bass
to keep it ghetto without losing the soul of the music. All 4 cuts on
the EP keeps up that happy funky vibes and the b-boy flavors that
BadboE is known and loved for.
Breakbeat Paradise Recordings is now one of the last labels to be
releasing funky breaks/ghetto funk on vinyl and we are proud to
continue to provide the very best this scene has to offer. This EP will
remain exclusive for vinyl DJs for the next 6 month before dropping
on digital.

Da Buze Bruvaz are a hardcore rap duo from Philadelphia. Both
are also longtime members of the legendary NY posse the LoLifes,
founded by Thirstin Howl 3rd.
Known for their outlandishly over the top non-politically correct, razor
sharp lyrics and aggression. They’re a throwback to the early mid-
90s underground hip-hop peak. Though they have released limited
collectors edition vinyl in the past, this is their first official LP. It has
the rawness of a season of OZ in rhyme form and should be taken
with that type of entertainment context. It should probably be rated
at least R if not X. Definitely not for kids, maybe not even for some
adults.

TRACKLISTING
The musicians comprising Halo Orbit represent three different
corners of the map, literally and figuratively. The group consists of
Grammy Award-winning bassist Juan Alderete (The Mars Volta,
Deltron 3030), guitarist/synth player suGar Yoshinaga (Buffalo
Daughter, Metalchicks), and drummer Mark Guiliana (David Bowie,
John Scofield, Brad Mehldau). Each member brings a distinctive
style and musical pedigree to the proverbial table that gels in every
instance on their debut. Their debut album features contributions
from guests such as Del the Funky Homosapien, Lisa Papineau,
Money Mark Ramos-Nishita, Adrian Terrazas Gonzalez and Marcel
Rodriguez Lopez.
With Alderete based in Los Angeles, Guiliana in New York, and
Yoshinaga in Tokyo, the group effectively exists in three places
at once, a mindset that, not surprisingly, finds its way into their
vigorous, evocative music. Drawing comparisons to peers as
disparate as Battles and Portishead, Halo Orbit mold their own breed
of futuristic rock, a volatile landscape of overdriven dub punctuated
by textural nuances and delicate arrangements. They capture an air
of unpredictability that is charged through a fluid state of connection.
Alderete and Yoshinaga first met in the late nineties when Buffalo
Daughter toured the U.S. supporting Girls Against Boys. Well over a
decade of mutual admiration later, a musical collaboration between
the two finally began taking shape. During the winter of 2012, they
convened in Los Angeles with drummer Guiliana, writing nearly an
album’s worth of tracks that they immediately recorded with engineer
Robert Carranza (Beck, One Day As A Lion, Blackalicious, Jack
Johnson).

TRACKLISTING
California future funkster, Diamond Ortiz, is back with his take on
‘90s R&B with this super limited EP Baby Lotion. Baby Lotion is
thirty minutes of laid-back 90s jams seasoned with some vocoder,
squelchy bass lines, and sexy interludes. It’s smooth & funky yet it
also captures the feel of sensual slow jams that were so ubiquitous
not so long ago. Baby Lotion is a modern slow burner essential
with standouts like “Courvoisier”, “Im’a Rock Yo World”, & the catchy
“Hennything Is Possible” featuring LA’s Polyester The Saint. Ortiz
acts a one-man band— producer, songwriter, & engineer on this
largely self-produced project. Ortiz continues on his path to be one
of LA’s most essential modern funk forces. A must own for fans of
Ortiz, Baby Lotion won’t be around for long!

TRACKLISTING (Click Tracks In Blue To Preview Audio)
Magic in Threes are releasing their first double-sided instrumental
funk 45 on KingUnderground.
Hailing from Nashville, Tennessee the smoked out instrumentalist
trio Magic In Threes are highly influenced by library records, old
film soundtracks, and hip hop tapes. They were formed in 2010 as a
side project to their work with DeRobert & the Half-Truths. Following
a long line of solid and well-received releases on Nashville’s own
G.E.D Soul Records, KU then started their investigation into the
chances of signing the group.
In 2016, Magic In Threes members; Dave Singleton, Nick DeVan,
and Mark Spain set a goal to record and release a new track every
week. You are about to hear two of them. The a-side “At Jody’s”
was recorded at flautist Jody Douglas’s house in the Sylvan Park
neighbourhood of Nashville, Tennessee. “A Breezy Day” was
recorded at DeVan’s Poor Man Studios in Madison, Tennessee. We
think you’ll agree, it’s quite blazed out.
