Al Lover - Woodsist Remixed Free Download

This is a project I threw together over the last few weeks. Woodsist is a great label out of Brooklyn, NY that is really doing some interesting stuff right now. Everything they put out is worth a listen, if not really good. I feel like this is the kind of stuff Hip-Hop producers will be looking to sample 20 years from now. Anyhow, I like the music and decided to remix some of the best tracks from a few of the releases on the label. Super low-fi, off-kilter, distortion heavy, weirdo shit. This is definitely an experimental approach to beat making for me.

Track Listing

The Fresh & Onlys - What Goes In Circles

Ganglians - 100 Years

Kurt Vile - Breathing Out

The Art Museums - So Your Baby Doesn't Love You Any more

Woods - Born To Lose

The Mayfair Set - 3 of Me

Moon Duo - In The Trees

Meneguar - The Morning, The Night
Fergus & Geronimo - Last Letter

Meth Teeth - I Was Wrong

Wavves - Vermin

Real Estate - Black Lake

Woods - Til The Sun Rips

This is a totaly unlicensed project, and the Woodsist folks have nothing to do with it. Who knows if they would even like it.

Download the project HERE.

Here's the whole thing if you want to peep it out.

Dusthead Mixtape Vol. 6, Contemporary Freak Out Free Download

I wanted to switch things up a bit, so this is a mix of all current bands. There is so much good Rock 'n Roll out right now it's retarded, especially in the Bay. Most of the stuff on this mix is Bay shit, also a couple Asheville, N.C. groups. It makes me happy that people are out there making un-slick, throw-back Rock, so I gotta give 'em some props. This shit is just great, feel good music. Download it for free HERE.

Micah Aza "Micah and the World" Free Download

Yo, check the technique. Micah Aza's got a new album out that's super tight. A low-fi, psychedelic beat reel guaranteed to have your head noddin'. This dude's been at it for a while, and has been a big influence for me as far as producers go. Dude's the illest. Peep the free download HERE.

Dusthead Mixtape Vol. 4, Fuckin' Country! Free Download

I love Country Music, I don't care. It's Amazing. You know, even some modern stuff is pretty entertaining. It's full of witty songwriting, no matter how much the record companies have drained the music of soul. That being said, the old stuff is where it's at. This is a little mix of some good old... old country. It's kind of all over the place in terms of regional sound, but still all the songs are really good. There's even one tune reppin' Spruce Pine NC! Oh yeah, I took it upon myself to draw the cover too. I hope you like it. Download it for free HERE.

Dusthead Mixtape Vol. 3, Kids These Days Free Download

New Mixtape, 60s Garage and British Invasion stuff. It's a pretty good range of straight blues influenced tracks to more R&B inspired ones (way to steal black music, fellas). Super Dirty, I hope you like it. Download it for free HERE.

Height with friends Druid Hill Lake E.P. Free Download

Yo, my man Height has got a new E.P. up for free download, and it's sick! Don't sleep, these cats are making some of the best shit out right now. Plus, I got a co-production credit! Just waitin' on the check. Look out for their new record "Bed of Seeds" out soon on Friends records. Download the E.P. for free HERE.

Dusthead Mixtape Vol. 2, Heartache is Old Free Download

New mixtape! Just a few early 60's soul 45s lamenting the loss of love. What else is there to sing about really, other than killin' your woman of course? I for one don't have a clue. Download it free HERE.

Dusthead Mixtape Vol. 1

This is just a little mix of some good soul 45s recorded from the old portable turntable. Dirty and grimy just the way I like it, I hope you do as well. Download it for free HERE.

Chaos Theory E.P. Free Download

With this project I really wanted to do something dirty, and sloppy (That's what she said). Anyhow, I wanted it to sound as raw as possible. All the sequencing is done live, and I think it gives it a kind of an organic feel. It makes me think of a band practicing, and tightening up as they go. It's an ugly thing, and thats my favorite part about it. I toyed around with some new styles of drum programing. I did less sampling, and all the beats are really minimal. Plus, you can never get enough tambourine. I hope you like it. Download it for free HERE.
