It has been a minute but the music keeps flowin and the newest addition is Freddie Joachim newest EP Charcoal. If you aren’t familiar with Freddie Joachim, go check this guy out. He has some of the smoothest beats around, it is like you are traveling on a cloud when you are listening to his music. Charcoal is no different, it has a jazzy feel with some fluid percussions. I think May is my favorite track with the layered vocals, but the whole EP is solid. Check it out!
It is always a nice surprise when Freddie Joachim drops a new release. He teases you with some singles and some vines on his Facebook and then unexpectedly drops a full EP. Leaves is the new release, while his signature jazzy HipHop style is still present, I think he expanding his sound with different instruments and drum arrangements. I think he is master at layering his tracks, each time you listen to a track you hear a different layered sound. Again, Freddie Joachim comes correct, highly recommended!
2014 here you come, I started a little late but I needed some re-charge time. But getting back to it, I think 2014 maybe a highlight year in music, already there has been some crazy releases and we are only day 4. The Mellow Orange crew released two dope releases in the new year and one super close to Christmas. A super plus is that all these releases don’t hit the bank.
Freddie Joachim comes again with his signature chilled out hiphop beats. The Begonia EP are a little extra beats that he has been holding on to. Freddie Joachim has the Midas touch, I want to hear all the beats in the vault.
Question, drops his Favela EP. It is cold out there, cop this release and warm up with some flipped Bossa Nova and Samba beats. You are transported to a beach while listening to these tracks. Question’s digging and straight up music knowledge is a real treat.
Chloe Martini, a new addition to the Mellow Orange roster, the female beat smith comes correct with her first release Reborn EP . The Poland native layers these chillin drum patterns laced with jazzy samples. She is one producer not sleep on!
Mellow Orange is one of the most consistent record labels out there, always dropping quality music. I can’t wait to hear more from them in 2014.
