Razoof - 15 Years of Dubby Downtempo

Razoof, dub master DJ and producer, constantly selects great downtempo, dub and reggae tracks for his mixes. This mix - 15 Years of Dubby Downtempo - is exactly as the title says. It's pure dub through the years. Timeless for sure, and forever the perfect chill.

New Track: Monophona - Thumb

Monophona duo (or trio?) released a new single called Thumb off their upcoming LP, to be released at the end of January. It's a beautiful acoustic trip hop track that immediately caught my attention. Check it out here, along with the rest of Monophona's library.

Haywrye - Glitch Hop and Chilled Dub Sounds

I basically listen to anything Gramatik posts or recommends on Soundcloud, and I'm never let down. This is another amazing share - Haywyre - a producer/artist from Vancouver, Canada who does glitch hop with the best of em. If you like Gramatik, Glitch Mob, early Pretty Lights family then you'll like this.

AMBUSH - South African DJ mixes amazing dub, reggae and jungle

If DJ Ambush is in town you have to go see him, and if you come across his mixes, you just have to listen - i'm loving all of his sounds, an amazing mix of dub reggae and jungle sounds. Not too crazy, and just downtempo enough that you can really get into this however you want, channel the energy however you need.

Henry Pope - Heat Waves Mix

Henry Pope... you complete me. I really dig Henry's mixes. I gotta travel to LA more to hang and eventually DJ with this guy. His mixes are such a funky mix of modern electronic grooves combined with organic and natural rhythms - think mixing downtempo trap with soul or calypso music. Ahhh listen for yourself!

Yasiin X Gaye: The Return ... 'nuff said (FREE DOWNLOAD)

Wow, Yasiin (Mos Def) X Gaye (Marvin) mashed up and mixed - hell yeah. Please get this and spread the word! Here's more info lifted direct from Amerigo Gazaway's Bandcamp page:

"Amerigo Gazaway's *Soul Mates* series continues the theme of his previous work in creating collaborations that never were. On the series' latest installment, Amerigo unites Brooklyn rapper Yasiin Bey (Mos Def) and soul legend Marvin Gaye for a dream collaboration aptly titled "Yasiin Gaye". Building the album's foundation from deconstructed samples of Gaye's Motown classics, Gazaway re-purposes the instrumentation into new productions within a similar framework. Carefully weaving Bey's tangled raps and Gaye's soulful vocals over his new arrangements, the producer delivers a quality much closer to an authentic collaboration than a lukewarm "mashup" album."
