Cohoba to drop new EP on UK Label Crackling Claps |
|
 |
We’re always happy to make new friends, specially friends with our same taste in music. Crackling Claps is a fresh new imprint based in London founded just last year. An art based record label, the project is seriously focused in providing quality music without having to worry about the latest sub-genre or fad sweeping some trendy scene. Their philosophy is that as long as it sounds good, anything goes. That, and they’re pretty committed to showcasing sounds from young new artists that are doing their own thing. And guess what? That’s pretty alright in our book. ‘$lu$h’ will be Cohoba’s first full-blown EP outside of his home crew of Stereoptico, and his first release in quite a bit of time. However, you get to sample some sounds from some other crew members, as featured on this release are his long time studio partner n6el, as well as Ronald K, each lending their talents to a track. The overall vibe is very Cohoba, ranging from footwork to downtempo, experimental to very damn danceable. The EP drops this April 29th, 2013, but in the meantime, you can check out some snippets in the player below, as well as browse around the rest of the Crackling Claps catalogue. |
SCDDALTA – Sound n3t EP |
|
 |
Sound n3t EP For our very first drop of 2013, it makes sense we’d go with something fresh, a new member of the crew who’s got his own way of making sounds and rhythm that we’re really into. We made some noise a while back for his banger ‘UHHU’, so now we’re happy to give you the full-on release. Grab it, jam to it, share it. We hope you enjoy what this young Puerto-Rican producer brings to the table, as we’re sure you’ll be hearing more from him in the months to come. 01. Storm Days

Introducing… SCDDALTA |
|
|
On this occasion, we’re extremely happy to introduce SCDDALTA, a new addition to the crew. Hailing from Puerto Rico, this young producer has crafted and polished his own take on some of the sounds we’ve been going crazy over. He has a 5 track EP that we’re dropping in the next few days, and we wanted to give you a sneak peek at the goods.
This top-shelf piece is titled ‘UHHU’. Keep your eyes peeled for more from SCDDALTA. If listening to new and unique music is your things, we’re sure he’ll have something that’s up your alley.

STOP_2X2_006: XK / Moduloktopus |
|
 |
The 2X2 series is alive and kicking harder than ever. After a bit of a hiatus, we bring you back a nice batch of beats cooked up by 2 very creative Dominican producers. We have XK, a guy who’s tried his hand at this whole beatmaking thing and can show off some of the fruits to his labor. You know we’re ones to always try and showcase talent, so enjoy 2 very special cuts by this new friend of the fam. Then we got Moduloktopus, the eclectic multi-styled project of one of our boys who we know from way back. He’s a producer, guitar player and Berklee graduate, that from the looks of it is trying to get every single genre out there under his belt. We’re proud to bring back the 2X2 series in a beautiful fashion with “Drip”, so cop these bass heavy tracks and enjoy.

BREAK IT DOWN |
|
|
We got a couple of things in store, the first of which is an upcoming Marvin Marlyn EP. The chilean funkster is at it again and shows no signs of having slowed down. Just to warm you up, we bring you this serious demonstration of the art of refunking at the hands of our boy so you can get a feel for where his funk is at.

‘▲ (Remote Locations)’ New Video |
|
|
Hyping up our most mysterious release to date, the Datawaves EP, we present to you this audiovisual collaboration featuring the talents of Francisco Escarfullery, a close friend of the fam who studied film and digital editing at the Miami International University of Art & Design, and is currently undergoing more training in cinematography in Buenos Aires. No doubt you’ve heard of Frank before, as he was nice enough to throw something together for STOPCAST #010, so if you haven’t grabbed that, there’s no better time than now. But first, watch that cool vid. |
STOPCAST 017: Tornadu |
|
 |
This whole Stereoptico project started out as a way to showcase some local talent. To get some Dominican beats out in the world. We keep on meeting new people and making new friends, down here and all over the place, but we haven’t forgotten what it’s all about. Tornadu is a friend of the fam, a young musician who has tried his hand at a few different genres and has recently taken a dive into more electronic sounding territory. Check out the selection of records he put together for the STOPCAST.

TURBOTAPE |
|
 |
So we’re doing this thing called TURBO >> in a couple of days, and its a thing we want to try and do often. The idea is to keep the vibe going all night, playing great tracks to party to.
So why not some music while we wait? We present the TURBOTAPE. It’s a promise of things to come. In just 16 minutes, we’re gonna give you an idea of what we have planned. But just because it’s a short mix doesn’t mean we played just a couple of records. This time it was 23 tracks, mish-mashed, cut-up and mixed together.
We’re also going to be dropping these as our new series in the mixes section. 16 minutes max, all the music you can play and keep the groove going.
