Beat Cruise

Tuesday, October 1, 2013

Ladies and gents, beatcruise was a fun project to have and work with, but It has run its course and no longer serves us the purpose it was once intended to. As of October, 2013, the beatcruise project will be wrapped up indefinitely for a newer, greater creation that is already in the works.

This new platform will feature a larger network of interactive websites, visual media, social connection, and most importantly, new musical and artistic content. All 12 beatcruise releases will continue to remain hosted, for free, here, with the option of physical purchase still intact.

Thank you to those who have reached out, showed interest, or collaborated over the last 3-5 years and took the time to check out something different, your words of support, purchases, and downloads mean a lot to a small label doing tapes and digital releases out of our bedrooms.
Peace.

Keep an eye out for our next project entitled "Skull-Base Metro"

The Pluto Moons - Mannequin Legs

Hometown homies, The Pluto Moons, dropped this huge new release recorded in New York City, and if you're in the area you might just catch them at one of their shows. Mannequin Legs is available as a pay-what-you-want digital download with the option to buy a handmade and printed CD.

Check out the unbelievable track BlkPPLSellingWhtPPL#Food

The jazzy drums and vocal performance really make this one.

Broke & Repeat Pattern - Badminton Club

I just picked up a vinyl copy of the newest Cascade Records release "Badminton Club" by Broke & Repeat Pattern. Broke handles the vocals and Repeat handles the production.

I fucks with this release hard. A definite recommendation to pick this one up. I've been hoping for this project for a while and I was hyped to see when it was announced.

Broke and Repeat Pattern form an unstoppable duo. They clash the old school hip-hop vocal styling of Broke; packed full of smooth flows, urban & hip-hop culture references, with the forward thinking, steady knocking, jazzy slop-hop grooves Repeat Pattern is known for.
Clocking in at just under 20 minutes, this release may be short but it is TRULY sweet. There is a special depth and thought present. I have to note that it is some wonderful mastering by Barry Gardner, super clean. Hyped for the next project from these two. +++

(GPC005) Grappapproved Sampler No. 2

A bit late on this post, but nonetheless, Grappa Frisbee label boss Ohsaurus has been kind enough to publish a real old unreleased track of mine titled "Feel" on his new cassette compilation.

I'm really pleased just to be putting more and more stuff out there in peoples actual hands, as a physical product that will be around even if hard drives crash.
