Bluntone "Space Is The Place" (Instrumental Album)

"Space Is The Place" is the latest instrumental offering from the Budapest, Hungary beatsmith, Bluntone. The project is released through Blunt Shelter Records, which considers itself "a safe spot for talented beatmakers, beat junkies and people who seek daily meditation in music along with healing vibrations." Well said... that's a nice dose of what's offered on Bluntone's 10-track instrumental release. Definitely give it a full listen below and hit the labels below for more releases.

Peebs The Prophet "Ills of the Earth" (EP Stream)

Peebs The Prophet dropped his gem of an EP, 'Ills of the Earth,' in early 2015 with production by Bluntone, who I've covered twice on the site, as well as the ever-talented, Phoniks. It's a short project, only 6 tracks, but it packs considerable content and sharp production. Unfortunately, by now the limited edition vinyl has sold out, but you can still order the CD, which includes instrumentals and/or download a copy of the digital EP with the 'name your price' option on Bandcamp. Does Phoniks do the dope artwork for the label, too? My favorite track on the EP is 'All Day,' but the entire EP is highly recommended, so give it a listen below. What's next, Peebs?

Bluntone "Lost & Found" (Instrumental Album)

As promised, here's another one from Hungarian beatmaker, Bluntone: 'Lost & Found;' an instrumental project with 21 tracks from the producer's archives. These instrumentals are jazzy, lo-fi flips with dusty drums and plenty of head-nod. If you've been following, I posted about his 'Blunted Remixes LP' in a previous post. That project came out in 2015 and was my introduction to his work. Due to the fact that I haven't had a blog to discuss music in some years, I'm circling back to cover a lot of these projects even though new releases may be available, such as 'Orbiting Rawbits,' which features Awon, Peebs the Prophet, Moka Only, Tableek, and more. Let this instrumental project play out, it'll put you in a good headspace to get through the day. Dig into it...

Bluntone "Blunted Remixes LP" (Album Stream)

I'm gonna come clean right out the gate, it was the artwork for this project that caught my eye. The dusty clouds and orange haze, I knew it was gonna be some filthy boombap material. I was spot-on with that prediction. Bluntone is a producer from Hungary and his 'Blunted Remixes LP' delivers 14 well-produced remixes of familiar tracks by KRS-One & Das Efx, Redman & Method Man, AZ, Wu-Tang, Big L, Kool G Rap & Nas, Biggie, Lord Finesse & OC, Sean P and more. The info on the release says these are various remixes from the last 3 years, so I'm guessing he must have an active Soundcloud; I'll have to check that out. The vibes are mellow, but the drums are hard and he reworked these tracks very nicely. This is only the first project from Bluntone I've heard so far, but I know it's from his back catalog (2015), so I'm certainly gonna go do some diggin' and see what else I've been sleeping on. You can stream the LP below. Look out for more from Bluntone coming soon.
