**** DIZONORD DEADSTOCK ****Right after the opening of Dizonord we bought a huge independent French rap collection from an old distributor. Pablo, a friend of ours, recommended this one to us, some copies come with a CD too !

Based near Nantes & just 30 years old, Dj King Flow has almost 20 years of beatmaking under his belt, with numerous trips back and forth between France and the USA. His many travels have enabled him to network with a large number of independent MCs.Today he presents Halftime, his first project on vinyl, which speaks volumes when you see the many names of hip-hop legends such as Rase Kass, O.C., Tragedy Khadafi, Goodie Mob, Shabaam Sahdeeq and other lesser-known but equally talented names!The osmosis operates on King Flow's beatmaking style, with a mix of 90s, Sudist and boombap influences!A new vinyl bomb for all lovers of good hip-hop music !!!!

For some, it takes years to find their true calling...… It took Dal-Gren ten years to find his. Even if his first beats came flying out of his Playstation, he already knew exactly what direction he was moving in.MC and beatmaker extraordinaire, his musical culture bounces from jazz to rock, soul, funk, hip hop and electro. Passionate about his craft, he lives in tune with his machines, forgoing clichés and fashions to create his very own staple of moody and timeless hip hop… seemingly stemming from another planet, he's anything but an earthling.A word from the artist about Cut Basic…: "To me, Cut Basic marks a new era in which an unexplored side of the brain is slammed into, hence a strong sense of déjà vu… The music brings back hazy memories from a childhood that hasn't been completely deserted yet, it brings the basics flooding back … but where do those basics come from ?"

Following previous ventures with The Funk League and production credits for Large Professor, Diamond D or Gift of Gab, french producer Hugo LX returns with a new collective project under his KenJaNai’ alias.The debut album “Faceless Heroes” (coming out in October 2014) showcases a radical shift for the young beatsmith, as the production style leans towards futuristic beats, 80’s synths and also some downtempo - sometimes ambiant - jams influenced by Japanese electronic and new funk legacy.KenJaNai is not only a producer effort, but a close collaboration with fellow musicians and top shelf vocal artist: the mighty Elzhi (from Detroit very own Slum Village) and indy star Oddisee supply classic verses, while Canadian songstress Amalia (known for her tremendous work with Opolopo) brings her Nu-Funk trademark and soulful vibe in the mix, alongside Kandisky Effect' bassist Gael Petrina and turntablist DJ Suspect.Cruising through atmospheric layers and hard hitting drum patches, “Faceless Heroes” expresses nowadays producers’ ability to navigate from a place to another on the musical spectrum, in order to keep the music vibrant.First 2 tracks single coming out in a limited 300 copies 7inch and including an exclusive remix of “Playin’ (Feat. Amalia)”.
