You may know of beatmaker Charlie Mac through his involvement in Ramson Badbonez & Twizzy’s recent album The Good, The Bad & The Ugly (check our review here) and his link to the Abnoxshuz Entertainment label, but whether you do or not, his new instrumental album is definitely worth a listen. Whether you’re an MC [...]
Kista, a Scarborough based producer and connoisseur of that classic sound, has been bubbling under the surface in Hip Hop and repping hard for the underground for a while now, having made a bit of a name through his Organic Pulsation in 1998 and going on to collaborate with overseas MC’s such as Jan Whitfield [...]
Three piece hip hop crew Strangelove (Freedom, Chango and Jakaboski) are one of those names that have frustrated me slightly in the past, popping up to deliver ill vibes on various producer EPs and featuring on albums, doing everything to make you want more without actually delivering an EP or album of their own. From [...]
UK Hip Hop producer Mankub and Dephect’s DJ Getz just released a really dope project, Tales of the Lost Breed. Featuring just over an hour of Mankub beats, Getz has expertly chopped them together with classic (generally US) accapellas over the top. The beats rep that classic boom bap sound and do a great job [...]
Oxford based Hip Hop producer Freddie Wiltshire, otherwise known under the alias Fredo, has been entertaining my ears through his Soundcloud for a while now with a variety of mellow beats that stand well on their own as instrumentals as well as remixes of tunes such as Juicy and The Delusionists’ Poison. After further demonstrating [...]
Remember during my review of Cutta Chase’s Tonguestrung project I touched on how ridiculous his work rate is? Well, as if to back me up he’s dropped the second part, a 19 track LP called Wisdom Teeth barely a month later. A similair vibe to Tonguestrung, it’s generally laid back and contemplative, but tracks such [...]
It’s fairly rare that Broken Culture and Radio 1′s Giles Peterman cross paths, but there’s so much soul and such a heavy hip hop influence in the music of Jesse Futurman, who he’s been plugging, that it’s definitely not to be slept on. A boiling pot of electronic sounds as well as traditional instruments with [...]
The fact that Alix Perez’s debut LP 1984 is by far the most battered piece among the permanent residents of my record bag says a lot about just how special that album is. At the time of it’s release it was fresh and helped define d&b’s sound for a good few years; The Cut Deepens [...]
You may remember Benaddict from his recent Cat Suit Tony Ep or any of the ridiculous ammount of mixtape tracks and dubs he put out last year. He ranked highly for us in 2012′s newcomers to the Hip Hop scene and it appears hard work is paying off, earning him a trip to LA where [...]
Keeping up with the demos in the Broken Culture inbox is like a full time job nowadays (out to the heads who send completely irrelevant shit in; a little tip, don’t just spam sites like mad but pick the ones that are actually on your vibe), so it’s always nice when something unexpectedely dope from [...]
