Entries in Cold Busted (36)
Krystian Shek - Android Funk
Taken from his forthcoming album 'Destroy & Rebuild V1', here is a track which opitimises everything that Krystian Shek is about. Funky samples, head-nodding basslines and a sexy groove, all of which are brought together to create the very best Trip-Hop you could wish to hear. Cold Busted, baby.
ES-K - Summer x Throwback 80
'Summer' and 'Throwback 80' are the two standout tracks from ES-K's latest LP 'Spontaneous Grooves: Episode 03', which is set to be released August 1st on Cold Busted. CB usually deal with Trip-Hop instrumentals, so it's nice to hear them bringing out a full Hip-Hop instrumental album, and a really sick one at that.
Thai Ragga Collective - Rain Vs Sun
Not necessarily because it's the best, but more because of how fitting the title is for the weather we're experiencing, here is a track from the forthcoming Cold Busted compilation album 'In Dub'. The album will be released August 22nd, and as you can probably tell from the title, is packed full of Reggae Dub instrumentals, which will no doubt put a smile on your face.
Akshin Alizadeh - Woman
My favourite track from the new Akshin Alizadeh EP, which is called 'Desert Man' and is set to drop August 15th on Cold Busted. Massive sample, wonderful use of instruments and a generally sick piece of Trip-Hop. Vibes...
ESK-1 - Keep It Clean x Msg
Two of my favourite tracks from ESK-1's new instrumental album 'Spontaneous Grooves: Episode 02', which is another cool as hell Trip-Hop release from the impeccable Cold Busted. Out July 4th, so get yourself a copy if you like forward-thinking music with an old skool twist.
Poldoore - Industry Of Love x But I Do
Following on from Gramatik's 'Street Bangerz Vol. 1, 2 & 3', Krystian Shek's 'Vol. 4' and Slabofmisuse's 'Vol. 5' - Poldoore steps up to bring us 'Street Bangerz Vol. 6', which is set to be released May 30th on Cold Busted. This series has been absolutely flawless thus far, and I'm pleased to say that Poldoore has kept up the trend, opitimising everything that's refreshing about this label - fusing together Trip-Hop with Soul, Funk and many other genres to create a forward-thinking outlook on making music. Below you can check out two of my favourite tracks from the album - if you like them, please be sure to support when it drops. Amazing music.
Liberty Klaud - Urban 60's
'Urban 60's' is my favourite track from Liberty Claud's new album 'It's All About You T', which is forthcoming on Cold Busted and will be available on April 18th. A grumbling piece of funky Trip-Hop, from what is still my favourite instrumental label in the world. Lots more to come in 2012, but for now, enjoy this...
Astro Raph - Da House Dewn Boots
The title track and my favourite track from Astro Raph's forthcoming Electro-infused EP, which is set to be released February 1st on Busted Beats. A bit different to his usual work, Astro fuses House and Dubstep to create this simply stunning piece of music that you can't help but fall in love with. The whole EP is on repeat, but this track in particular has blown my mind.
Vitamin D - Love May Come
Here is the new single from Vitamin D, which is set to be released 25th January on his incredible label, Cold Busted. The signature Cold Busted sound is of course present, but with the uniqueness of D's sampling technique and forward-thinking style, this is another CB special to add to an already incredible back catalogue. Listen, and lose yourself in the music.
