Producer Love – Boards of Canada
Okay so I’m gonna start off by saying that Boards of Canada aren’t by any means an underground producer(s), but I feel like they don’t get the level of recognition they deserve so here they are. Credit where credit’s due, I have listened to their music for a long time but recently re-found my love…
Producer Love – Nae Sano
Nae Sano is a cloudy trap producer from Sweden, known for his collaborations with Tag Shai Nae Sano’s beats are airy, melodic and heavy hitting, they put you into a zone and never fail to impress. Nae Sano also occasionally sings, but we’ll get to that later. I shouted out Nae Sano on Instagram last…
Underground UK – Cult of The Damned
The UK deserves some love for its underground hip hop scene with drill, bashment and grime being the more dominant genres in urban UK music. I feel dirty using the word “urban” as a categorisation term but grime fans get weird when you put grime and UK hip hop in the same bracket (even though…
Oldies – An Appreciation Post for Daft Punk
R.I.P. to Daft Punk, a producer duo consisting of Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo & Thomas Bangalter that I can comfortably cite as a personal influence of mine. Daft Punk have been going since the 90’s and the iconic masked French duo have made generation defining songs. Not only have they made songs, but also movies as…
Underground Overlords – Tag Shai
Now, I would go as far as to say that Tag Shai is one of my favourite hip hop artists of all time, period. I love his laidback delivery and dreamy beats generally produced by Nae Sano (article on him found here), but he has had beats produced by a few other producers over the…
Producer Love – Blank Banshee
Producers do not get the recognition they deserve and I get it, vocals are exciting, but I tend to find more listening pleasure in synths and instruments. Now, without further ado (and to prevent me sounding like a pretentious music nerd), I present to you… Blank Banshee. Blank Banshee makes music that falls under the…
Oldies – Mavis Staples
Mama Mavis, the auntie of music turned 81 last July. To my knowledge, she is the oldest artist still recording full length albums to this day. In an interview with NPR, she stated that “We need a change. And every chance I get I’m going to sing songs of change”. (full article can be found…
Underground Overlords – CANCEL CULTURE
A deep dive into the vortex that is underground trap music allowed me to come across CANCEL CULTURE. CANCEL CULTURE is an underground hip hop collective operating through the internet. I was mainly put on to these guys through one of their members ‘Masked Man’, who I have followed for quite a long time, but…
An Introduction – Mike
Hello, and welcome to my music blog. I have a lot of opinions about music and I need an outlet for these thoughts as to not bore people around me. A Little About Me: As of 02/03/21 I am in my second year at university, studying Music Business at London Metropolitan University. Prior to this,…
