Guest Mix: Handbook – Restlessness (2011)

Handbook’s new album ‘Celebriteeth’ is released a few hours ago, but in all hectics the producer from York (United Kingdom) was still kind enough to compile a brand new mix for us! It’s called ‘Restlessness’, because according to Handbook that sums up his past few days pretty well. The mix contains songs by Eric Lau, J. Dilla, Action Bronson, Malefique, Pete Rock and Handbook himself.

So ‘Celebriteeth’ is out. And it’s free. And it’s pretty damn nice! I think this album will almost certainly hold something excellent for your ears if you enjoy smooth jazz and soul infused hip hop instrumentals.

If I had to quantify my enjoyment of ‘Celebriteeth’ on a numerical scale, I would score it somewhere close to full points but not quite there. I don’t like numbers though, so let’s just say I think it’s real dope and leave it at that. There are several fantastically wonderful songs on the album. Here’s ‘James Coburn’, one of my favourite tracks off Celebriteeth:
