DOPE BEATS: Side Brain - On The Second Moon of Earth


LA-based with Israeli roots, Yeuda Ben Atar aka Side Brain makes bouncy, highly video-game inspired beats. Fits in nicely with the LA beats sound, extremely reminiscent of Free The Robots, and Dutch producer Hayzee. Lush synths, punchy beats, bleeps & bloops make for a sweet sonic combination. Check out this video of him using a Nintendo PowerGlove to control his live set, and stream/download his excellent beat tape "On the Second Moon of Earth" below.

FREE MUSIC: Amerigo Gazaway - Bizarre Tribe


This might just be one of the best mashup projects ever (in my humble, golden-era hip hop loving opinion). Producer Amerigo Gazaway mixes up beats from a Tribe Called Quest with acappellas from classic Pharcyde tunes, bringing together the best of the east and west in a way that makes them feel like they were made to be together. So good, so funky, so smooth like buttah. Stream/download below.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand we're back!

So it's been about a bazillion years since I've put anything up here...  Well I've been settled in Paris for a while so I figure it's as good a time as any to start throwing dope free tunes back up for your listening pleasure.

So this is another excellent free release from my good friend Mark Rubin AKA Crazy Fingers, truly introspective, psychedelic beats with interwoven melodies and evolving atmospheres as only he can deliver. Stream & download it below.
