Producer Gensu Dean has been quiet for a minute after his collaborative album with Planet Asia (Abrasions) and then his production work for 7evenThirty (The Problem). As summer starts he wanted to let his fans know where he’s been musically by offering up an all new instrumental album for free. The 25 track record is meant to be a warm up to the new material Dean has coming late in 2015 and early in 2016.

A 121bpm House flip of our Pharcyde “Runnin” remix. This was something we usually only played in our live sets, but enough of you asked about it so here’s a download! Shades of classic Chicago House over all this one…
Every day I wake up with a song in my head. Sometimes it’s the same song for days and days. Today’s Wake Up Soundtrack comes courtesy of People Under The Stairs, from one of my favorite hip hop albums of all time, “O.S.T.” Great drums, great sample, fun content.

1/3 of the now defunct Little Brother. From his new solo debut album, Phonte does what he does best, rhymes. He’s honest, he’s brutal, and he’s consistent. His humor isn’t too over the top and I relate to everything he says with ease. This one stuck to me, especially after listening to a new Drake track where Drake’s complaining about people saying he fell off (c’mon son).
