Stream: DJ Iron – Classic Recipes Vol. 1

by Danny on May 23, 2013
It's almost safe to say that this release sums up the essence of The Find in fifteen tracks. Alright, that's an overstatement, but this first edition of "Classic Recipes" by Belgian DJ/producer DJ Iron is incredibly dope.

Video: The Doppelgangaz – Barbiturates

by Kamir on May 22, 2013
Bumping hip hop made by grimy New York hip hop duo The Doppelgangaz is almost like ingesting depressant substances. The hazed out beats slow down your senses and then lazy hypnotic flows take your motor skills and limit it to slow head nodding. "Barbiturates" is the latest single with the Read more » ...

Free MP3: T.R.A.C. – Sea Of Tranquility (MPadrums Remix)

Nothing beats the original. Especially in hip hop the impact of most reworked versions doesn't come close to the vibe of the original version; the artist's intention of how the track should sound. I often start listening to a remix, only to return to the original in an instant. However Read more » ...

The hip hop scene in Poland truly amazes us.
