Highly Recommended: Sampled Through Love



SG hip hop at its finest. The .XS Collective dropped a free compilation in conjunction with V-Day earlier this week. Unlike those highly priced roses you would usually find (over-priced and withered within a day), this is one hella quality release. So show your support. They don't need your money, just 80 odd minutes of your attention. And like what they want and what we are doing, spread the love!

Autre temps, autres mœurs


R.E.D presents us with yet another fine release titled "For Another" over at bandcamp.

Suffice to say the randomly, emotionally deformed textures defining the EP is a result of an obscure brain math technique(presumably). The explosion of drones here is hardly an overstatement.

Here's an excerpt lifted of his site -

"Take a tour through hell, but remember, no promises of R.E.D bringing you back. Madness in the middle of nowhere or we predict him as music of his own nature desire & depressing post-cancer life"
