ProleteR – Rookie EP

Beatmaker based in Toulouse, member of Dusted Wax Kingdom label, ProleteR started performing in bands as a guitar player. He gradually fell into production and released his first EP « Curses from past times » in late 2011.

3 years, 3 releases, and hours of sampling later, ProleteR just dropped Rookie, 4th EP full with warm and dusty samples and cigar smoke, introducing Breaking Mad Records.

As lyricist TaskRok on the track Throw it back, Vega (one of our turntablist stuntmen and part of the Retro Future radio show’s crew) shares the credits for this release.

Sister – Dolor

Dolor is one of the most discrete artist that i know and even if his debut EP was released on Ninja Tunes. Proof is he hadn’t really communicated about this brand new Ep Dolor. Probably cause he doesn’t care about posting useless stuff and he probably prefere working on his music and between you and me (and all internet), it’s perfect like this even if he deserve more exposure.
This new EP is dark and deep and we clearly feel the Lorn’s touch (who has masterised this project).

Two weeks ago, we’ve posted Fade, the first part of a three part project by Thriftworks. We’ve also announced the release date of Fader which is obviously the second part. It’s the D day and once again, the Oakland’s producer proves that he’s extremely productive. This is a 33 tracks project with few amazing guests like Insightful, Ill Esha or Russ Liquid (who already was on Fade).

See you on December 1st for the last part of this trilogy Fadest.

Fade – Thriftworks

Two weeks ago, a bomb was dropped with the teaser of a new Thriftworks album. Two weeks of impatience later, the album is out and as usual, we aren’t disappointed.

His new album Fade is in line with his old projects but there are more guests on this one. Fade is glitchy and downtempo at the same type. In the pure tradition of Thriftworks productions. Good news, this album is the first part of a trilogy. The two other parts Fader and Fadest will be released respectively on November 17th and December 1st.

Keep an eye open around this dates. More.

Kuna Maze – Maze#1 Ep

Here’s a fresh EP to start the day. Maze #1’s intro starts like an echo to Ramsey Lewis’s track Dreams, a trippy melodic texture in which a discrete and grainy beat slowly emerges. Eventually, this beat will follow you all along this short but mature release by the french producer Kuna Maze.
