Hungary goes "cinematic": New netlabel Budabeats
-
Artist:Crookram
-
Album:19/76
-
Track:Tomorrow All Right
In the last few days I discovered a lot of music blogs outside from MOG, and two of the most enjoyable musical discoveries were Crookram and Kovacs, who publish their tracks through the newly founded Hungarian netlabel Budabeats. I found them through a post on the German music blog "New Urban Music Blog":http://www.numblog.de/
Crookram produces a kind of instrumental HipHop with a strong tendency towards cinematic sounds, wich remind me a bit of Ennio Morricones style. One song named "Balboa" is consequently and obviously an innuendo to the well know Rocky movies. I like his style a lot, though the rapper on the track "A Day In The Life (feat. INC)" IMHO could be a bit better. But as he probably is Hungarian and therefore a non native English speaker, I'm not cross with him. Actually I would have been interested how rapping in Hungarian would be like, but he chose English.Kovacs is more jazzy and bears a strong resemblance to the Cinematic Orchestra, at least that is my perception.You can download both albums for free, which are the first two releases of "Budabeats":http://www.budabeats.com/, "here.":http://www.budabeats.com/ The albums are released under the Creative Commons licence. That means, if I got that right, that if another "physical" label is interested in their work and releases their albums on vinyl or CD, this label will take over the rights and maybe stop the gratuitous download. So get it, while it's free and spread the word, if you like what you hear. So, if you're into cinematic sounds and/or DJ Shadow, RJD2 , The Herbaliser or other producers from Ninja Tunes, this could be definitively up your alley.P.S.: "Tomorrow All Right" begins muted, so wait a few seconds.
