It's the Supersound

X first appeared on our radar last September, serving us a medley of crunk slunked Hip Hop beats - check the post here. Now he's back with early summer crops, varying the tempo from 123 bpm all the way to the top of 134 bpm. There's plenty of drunken African drums, with a strict regime of shuddery sub bass. Old school vocals make the grade, with an unexpectedly clean set of rave stabs in tow. The tracks are reasonably short, yet this is to be expected due to X's hip hop roots, as the late snare rattles off the end of each bar. I will definitely be dropping some of X's bass weighted tribal chops at our up and coming Pelski vs Jackmode party. Get the remaining tickets here!

Talented producers like X, refuse to reserve their talents for just one particular genre, and why should they? It's slightly archaic to stick to one's single barrel gun these days, all be it loyal to your singular cause. So to see a producer depart from their comfort zone, bringing a fresh cross fire of diversity and flavour is always a pleasure.

X Gets The Crest - When African Drums Ring Out

Let me introduce you to an undercover post glitch hop renegade that goes by the name of 'X Get's The Crest'. It is unbeknown to me just exactly what he get's, and I can only hazard a guess of what's on the crest, but he sure brings a new age hybrid to the backbone of hip hop's clustered set. However I sincerely hope that my shameless DMX reference doesn't put his clan on my case, as I wouldn't like to be on the back end of his cross fire claps and bitch slap melodies. Come forward X and make yourself heard...

The Scandinavians display a sublime talent for creating lazy experimental synth-tronica. Whether it's the stark kaleidoscope of their ice blunted homeland, or their penchant for recording the local creek running downstream on the sampler, it just always runs smooth through the speaker cone. Posttod are no exception to this cause.
