iGotBadNews: May 2012

From Bastard Jazz Recordings comes this brand new release featuring a group multi-talented beatmakers from around the world: Teru, Evil Needle, Apple Jac, Tensei, Jeriko Jackson, Monkey Robot, Buscrates, Floyd Cheung, Ta-ku, Chief and Doc Illingsworth, who were all hand-picked by Tall Black Guy to be a part of this compilation.

"Things kick off appropriately enough with French producer Teru’s “Time To Reinvent” a summer-y joint filled with lazy keys, stuttering drums and delayed effects. Chicago duo and recent Plug Research signing Tensei make an appearance with the tropical cosmic of “Space Colony,” while Australia’s Jeriko Jackson delivers the incredibly smooth “Only Just” with it’s ghostly vocals and flowing keys.

Things move a little towards the uptempo side of Brussels based beatmakers MonkeyRobot deliver “Basement Infusion,” a deep slithering piece of bass-quaking of future-House, while Pittsburgh’s Buscrates adds a shimmering edge with “Horizons.”

Tall Black Guy Presents Tempo Dreams Vol. 1 is available to buy on LP, CD and digi June 19th.
