The Hoods’ phenomenally successful 4th album, The Hard Road, debuted at number 1 on the ARIA Album chart, and won them 2 ARIA Awards in the process.

Samiyam - Return EP(2008)




1. Return (3:07)
2. Trick Platform (3:27)
3. Moon Shoes (3:00)
4. Cheesecake Backslap (2:05)

Link

Hiphop pressure beats this week from Hyperdub's first US signing and Flying Lotus collaborator Samiyam. With only a small handful of releases to his name for everyone from Fat City recs to Ninja Tune the styles sit very closely to his production brother Flylo with a superbly squashed selection of downtempo hiphop all carrying that distinctive synthline sound and post-bump rhythms drawing from the legacy of Dilla mixed with the recent 8-bit sounds displayed on Hyperdub from Quarta 330, Darkstar, Rustie and the rest. Samiyam obviously shares Flylo's knack for unravelled slo-beats on 'Cheesecake backslap', but it's the first three cuts, and especially 'trick platform' that place Samiyam out on his own with a deftly melancholy melodic touch that will beg many repeated listens. Yet again, another reason to keep a very close eye on the ever evolving Hyperdub imprint, and a wonky killer.

Samiyam-Zomby Mix(2009)




Samiyam compiled this mix of new and old original beats for a Hyperdub showcase on BBC´s Mary Anne Hobbs a few months back. you might recognize some of the tunes but there should be a few cuts you haven´t heard. Also, towards the end of the mix you get a nice piece of Zomby´s BBC mix.

M.E.R.C.U.R.Y. - Because I Felt Like It EP (2009)




Link

"M.E.R.C.U.R.Y. stands for "Messenger Expressing Rhymes of Consciousness Unto Revolutionary Youth". He likes to be called "Merc" for short.
The Roman god Mercury was his favorite mythological figure because this character served as the messenger between Gods and humans. Merc felt it was the purpose of the poet/musician to be the communicator between the spiritual world and mankind. He's also a Gemini, who's ruling planet is Mercury, and he describes his rap style as being like the liquid-metal by the same name."

"Melbourne born and raised and being involved in hip hop since his own mum got a dubbed copy of "2 Live Crew" from some guy at her work for him back in 1993, the seed was planted at an early age. After close to ten years writing hip hop and earlier this year releasing the nine track 'City Landscapes' sampler (available for full download at www.micmaster.com) the time has come to put forth his thoughts and words into the ring. All that was needed was a blank canvas.

After hearing rumours of a beatmaker going by the name of Xcise at his current place of work it was decided further investigation was needed. This involved jacking one of his beats and recording a track over it (City Landscapes) to prove to the producer that they should be working together. It worked, and now Xcise & Dutch have blessed him with an array of production that draws on emotions, funk and plain ol hip hop sampling to create a unique soundscape that has formed the foundations for what will surely be a classic release.

Featuring Doc Felix, Maundz, A-Diction, Vida Sunshyne and SBX Legend Hunter, the line up is one the strongest ever seen for a first release."
