Epigram – Gramatik (Lowtemp) Shay Z Alternating between braggadocio rap tracks and glitch-step, Gramatik offers much variety on his newest release. Gramatik shines here in his collaborations with vocal artists. While his solo tracks are solid glitch-dub-house tracks, he backs on some phenomenal vocal features from Raekwon, ProbCause, Orlando Napier, and others. Incredibly catchy and jazzy beat work from the Swedish producer on this LP-length EP. If we could get some FCC editing up in here, this album is radio ready even for the most popular radio stations. Genre: Glitch-step, jazz house, brag rap RIYL: Deadmau5, Rustie, Daft Punk FCC Tracks: 2 Favorite Tracks: 2, 4, 5, 8, 10 1. (1:29) Tempus Illusio – deep rolling bass lines, instrumental intro 2. (4:27) Satoshi Nakamoto** (FCC: Lots) – Some awesome braggadocio rap, trappy trumpet beat, swaggery bass line, and solid final guitar solo 3. (3.47) War Of the Currents – Standard dubstep track, Skrillex-esque, nice woblly synth war, cool second drop with solid chopped vocal samples 4. (4.00) Native Son* – Sultry bass line, plucky lead guitar, velvet fog, lovin it. Great conscious verses from Raekwon, discusses hard street life and crime 5. (4:14) Native Son Prequel ** - Even better than the OG! Napier killing it with sexy vocals, super catchy chorus 6. (3:00) Room 3327 – dramatic, violin laden intro, ghostly vocals, thumping electronic beat carries track along, thundering deep synths in the distance 7. (4:09) Eat Liver! – Glitchy, dubby beat, haunting “Eat Liver” vocals reminiscent of Bowie 8. (3:00) Back to the Future* – Swaggering, spacey beat, confident rapped vocals, scratchy old-school vocal sampling and mixing (awesome!) 9. (4:25) Corporate Demons – Repurposed Daft Punk synth line (), cool build at 2:30 10. (3:41) Anima Mundi* – Oh shoot! Is that a forlorn saxophone I hear!? I’m sold. Jazzy, slow, groovy track to close. Instrumental, weirdly nostalgic, elevator music for a jazz lounge. | ||
