090 / Yoeri: Deep Mono Breath
Kicking off 2012 as we mean to go on, Yoeri brings us Deep Mono Breath, a ten track album featuring soulful groove easy-listening instrumental hip-hop, served with a side garnish of the odd. Blissful pads pulse in and out whilst off-kilter wonky beats pin the whole thing down with a massive groove.

053 / Total Cult: The Psyche-Hop EP
tOtALcULt’s Psyche Hop EP began life as a series of collaborations with three MCs from across the globe. However, a hectic schedule of “pounding 40s”, “blowing trees”, and “keeping it real” meant the international vocalists had no time to actually record any vocals.
So, here is a collection of instrumental tracks which sees spacey melodies sparkling over rolling hip-hop beats while elements of slo-mo disco and psychedelic rock drift in and out of focus.
Download it and prepare to venture where no rapper has dared to spit.

Includes remixes of artists including Arctic Monkeys, Lyrics Born and Per Byhring and three bonus instrumentals for DJs and MCs.

As Oscar Wilde once famously observed: “It’s on like Donkey Kong, yo. Time to kick it old-school.” tOtALcULt and the Womble-Sound Orchestra present an album of cut-and-paste funk, trip hop and breakbeat music. Fusing influences from electro, drum n bass, bigbeat, disco, dub and hip hop, ‘Boom Bap’ takes you on a toe-tapping, booty-shaking trip to Funky Town. This ultra-rare Japanese import version of the album includes the tOtALcULt remix of Kerry and Casio’s old skool stepper ‘B-Girl Original’.
