Flower Petal Downpour - FDP EP

Stoned (again!), sticky beats with great dub bliss underneath from the Portland based hip-hop producer Gavin McFarlane under the moniker Flower Petal Downpour. Even though the name and the album cover might bring to mind calm hippie folk imagery to mind, Gavin is dealing with something much more modern here - which isn’t free of some influences from the forefathers of psychedelia. Great album to chill out to and a must-have for all fans of totally slowed down, smokey beats.

LooseScrewz - 20,000 Years From Tomorrow

Fat fuckin’ stoned beats from Outer Space with a seriously atmospheric, slowed down and ambiental atmosphere somewhat akin to the Brainfeeder catalog and the work of FlyLo himself. Perfect for the bike or walking trips during the clear, pure and crisp cold winter day, like today (at my place anyway). Also, great use of vintage samples and some glitchy weirdness. Highly (wink wink) recommended!
