Accidentially, I was pointed to a real gem yesterday - 7.1.6 Label. This is a netlabel for experimental music that currently includes different styles e.g., Abstract Beat, Experimental Hip Hop, 21st-Century-Beat-Music, Glitch or IDM. One can not really much find out the mysterirous background of the label, only that it is based somewhere in the Russian Federation. The new music promotion, catalogization and consideration web site Far from Moscow wrote recently an article about 7.1.6 to bring some light into the darkness.
The different artists e.g., Bass + Space, DelMaind, Deep Play or LeOnid_US, often use quotations from famous persons to articulate some of their thoughts. They are really interested in centering the music and not where they come from and who they are. That's why, you can also find some of their artists on SoundCloud e.g., Bass + Space, DelMaind, LeOnid_US, Nesq and an own label site.

He did it again. Vlooper released a new album with the name AnaloG LovE. As always with little to no further information about it. Although, the vocals are again from his wife Gabrielle Modlee. It is a beautiful journey of very soulful and relaxed beats and Modlee's voice as icing on the cake.

Highly recommended!

San Francisco based Beat Scientist Mark Aubert made recently a guest mix for BTS radio show. However, he released also some Beattapes digitally, which where before only available as limited cassette releases. You can find them on his bandcamp site. I would say: this is a massive beat massaker. Boom Bap!

Welcome to the New Beat Music side blog of elbklang. This should be a place for Bob Ferris and his buddies to represent, discuss and illustrate music they like.

So let's do the beginning ;)

This is a beattape from circle vs. square a.k.a. Repeat Pattern that really blows my mind. Nearly all tracks are recommendable, especially "calculation error love", "drunk driver", "do the twist", "yay!" and "light bender". Also his other beattape is hot.

Enjoy listening!
