Jazzstrumentals

A new genre I have been digging lately called Jazzstrumentals. Hip-hop drums over smooth jazz melodies.
Cincinnati producer with some smooth jazz remakes of classic hip-hop tracks and other instrumentals. Download
UK rapper turned producer who has worked with some big names throughout his career. This is vol 1 of Funky DL‘s crispy jazz instrumentals spanning his career. Download
18 year old out of Brooklyn with a couple of more uptempo jazz beats, with some vocal samples. A little more progressive style, look for more to come from this kid. Download

The New Deal – Live Covers
June 29, 2011 Leave a comment
Here’s a New Deal show that Rusty and I were lucky enough to see in person. This was at the Highline Ballroom in New York City, on the first night of Phish’s NYE run. Leading up to the concert, the band took a poll on their facebook page asking fans which songs they’d like to see covered. You end up with some Eddy Grant, Chromeo, MGMT, and Deadmau5. It’s a shame these guys are retiring, they brought incredible energy every time I saw them.
Gramatik

If you love hip-hop instrumentals, you need to check out Gramatik. Born in Slovenia, this guy grew up listening to American funk, jazz, soul, and of course, hip-hop. By the time he was in his early twenties, he had developed a rep as one of the top producers in the Slovenia rap game (yeah, they have a rap game). Apparently, people in America have also started to feel his stuff.
Recently signed to the newly established Pretty Lights Music Label, his first album drops on July 12. From what I’ve heard, his new shit will have live instruments to spruce up his raw, hip-hop style into something that will make you want to dance. I can’t wait for that, but if you’re a hip-hop head, his earlier mixtape series, Street Bangerz, is something you gotta have in your library. This is the type of stuff that will keep your head nodding for hours.

Tripped out, downtempo electronic. It’s the opposite of dubstep, get it while you can.
“Dictaphone’s Lament”
