FUTURES Vol. 5 (Various Artists)

FUTURES Vol. 5 (Various Artists / Inner Ocean Records)

Die schon sehr sportliche Anzahl von 62 Beatschmieden und 62 Tracks von FUTURES Vol. 4 hat das Label Inner Ocean Records jetzt noch mal locker getoppt. Für FUTURES Vol. 5 hat das kanadische Label 73 Produzenten ins Rennen geschickt, die ebensoviele Tracks gebastelt haben. Hamma! Verteilt wurden die Instrumental Hip Hop Tracks auf zwei hübsche Kassetten, Red Crystal und Blue Crystal. Ich habe heute die Compilation 2,5 Stunden am Stück durchgehört und mich hat nichts gestört. Da hat der gute Mike mit seiner Auswahl ganze Arbeit geleistet. Ich bin schon gespannt, ob FUTURES Vol. 6 die 100er Marke knackt ;-)

Ach ja, kleiner negativer Punkt aka Schönheitsfehler: beide Kassetten sind mit „Tape No.1“ beklebt. Zum Glück ist aber beim Inhalt alles in Ordnung.

Viel Spass beim reinhören!

„For a 5th time around the sun we gathered the beat maker tribe together to make FUTURES Volume 5, the ultimate community made beat tape. On this edition we have 73 tracks by 73 artists showing off their best ability to craft beats with that funk/soul/jazz flavour. Spanning over 2.5 hrs, dubbed onto limited edition double tapes, this is our most ambitious FUTURES album to date.

The FUTURES series was created as a conduit for community to link together, push each other and unite in a common direction. We couldn’t be more proud of the results and positive atmosphere that has been created within the music. Keep spreading the love.

Free download for maximum freshness.

Enjoy.“
