I've been on a serious Electronic and Hip-Hop instrumental kick for the past few months, and have come a cross a few really great Artists/Albums. Today I'd like to shine some light on "Chrometrails" by Vanilla (Hugo Harrison), who hails from Oxford, Southeast England (Yea, they have Hip-Hop in England). I've been bumping this for about a month now, it it still hasn't gotten old (Beta Blocker and Second Guess/Low Density stay on repeat). Here's the producers description of the album:
Chrometrails is the culmination of months of hard work, taking the final form of a 13 track instrumental hip hop album entirely created and produced by Hugo Harrison (a.k.a. Vanilla). Drawing from influential alternative hip hop producers such as Madlib, J Dilla, Flying Lotus and Prefuse 73, infused with his own particular brand of production, Chrometrails is a showcase for a range of conceptual and compositional ideas and production techniques. And hopefully it will have your head nodding.
I'd highly suggest you give this album a listen or two. It can be downloaded here (legally) for free. And if you're interested in checking out his other stuff, he's on MySpace, Soundcloud, and Tumblr.
This is my musical area of expertise. Good call.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe Vanilla still has fans after the "Cool as Ice" debacle.
