Bits of Beats for December 5, 2012

Freddy Todd

The new set from Detroit’s own Freddy Todd, Sick In The City, Alive in The Woods , delivers thick bass goodness you need to hear. The release is out on Adapted Records and available as a free download from his website, freddytodd.com

Nick Wisdom

Vibe Guru is the sophomore solo release from Vancouver producer Nick Wisdom. Sticking with his signature brand of organic mellow synths and samples, he touches on a few different styles while maintaining his sound throughout. Compositions are complimented by vocals lent from Panther, Claire Mortifee and Ohio based emcee/producer, Maggz. It’s a name-your-price download at Bandcamp.com

Astrological

Fellow Vancouver jazzy-beatmeister, Astrological, brings a new EP full of that hip-hop/jazz/R&B blend he’s known for. I do wish the songs with vocals by Claire Montifee were fuller and longer on this recording, because he’s got some solid foundations for a pop single or two. On the instrumental tip, take a listen to “Gangdu ft. Dave P”.

Wave Hands Like Clouds

Hear a snippet of the new project coming from Austin-based ambient/experimental duo, Wave Hands Like Clouds. Their new project is scheduled to be self-released as limited-edition cassette album on 12/21/12.

Tarik Sabar

From Oklahoma, Tarik serves up soul samples for your hip-hop cyphers. To create his music, he works with the Roland MV8800 hardware workstation and a MIDI keyboard. His latest offering is LOVE fractions, available at Bandcamp. Take a listen.

Uio Loi

Billows of thick pad chords infused with rhythmic clicks and cuts is what Minneapolis’ own Uio Loi (formerly known as Smoke Room) is serving up, teasing you for his new release in early 2013. Check out “Cane”.

IDestiny

Taking you out with a little pop music today. Dubstep pop fans will devour this grimed-out chorus on Jason Derulo’s hit, “Whatcha Say”, as delivered by Dallas, TX-based producer, IDestiny.

That’s all for now! Got beats? Hot tips appreciated: groovelovesmelody[at]gmail.com.
