RH 106CD
|
Released in 2007. Dutch beat-heads Cinnaman + DJ Jay Scarlett were brought together by a mutual love and appreciation of the electronic hip-hop sound stemming from L.A., Detroit and later, worldwide. The Beat Dimensions project was created to showcase today's most forward-thinking beat producers; some are brand-new and some are a bit older -- from the well-known to the almost unknown. New kids like Hudson Mohawke, Super Smoky Soul, Flying Lotus/Samiyam (Flyamsam) and Pursuit Grooves sit next to established artists like Black Pocket (Steve Spacek), Aardvarck and Up Hygh. The artists were selected on the merits of their particular tracks and there are many more already lining up to drop science on future volumes -- this thing is going to grow and grow. Amsterdam seems to be the perfect place to base a compilation of this kind -- maybe it's the worldly attitude of many of the producers, DJs and heads that are based there, or maybe it's the passion for hip-hop beats and way-out experimentation. Volume 1 includes liner notes by Rafael Rashid, the author of the book Behind The Beat (Ginko Press, 2005). Other artists include: Dimlite & Ill Dubio, J Todd, Mweslee, Morgan Spacek, Dyno, Byron And Onra, Tom Trago, Hearin Aid, Simon Muschinsky, VeeBeeO, Mike Tibbert, Slumgullion, O.Boogie, and Sepalot.

RH 109A-EP
|
First vinyl EP of the sequel to the original instrumental beats comp, Beat Dimensions Vol. 2 (RH 109CD), compiled by Cinnaman & Jay Scarlett. Danny Breaks & Adlib drop a solid banger, followed by newbies Mono/Poly, Nosaj Thing, Kenlo Cragnuques, and Dalt Wisney. They all push the right buttons, and between them deliver a great 5-track banging EP. Two years after the genre-defying Beat Dimensions Vol. 1, here's the long overdue Vol. 2.

RH 109CD
|
This is the second volume of Rush Hour's genre-defying Beat Dimensions series, compiled by Dutch beat-masters Cinnaman and Jay Scarlett. Volume 2 continues where the first left off, featuring 20 exclusive beats and instrumentals from forward-thinking producers such as Danny Breaks, Dorian Concept, Dimlite, Ras G, Samiyam, Exile, and Fulgeance, plus sick sounds from new kids Nosaj Thing, Dizz1, Low Limit, Tiago, Devon, and more. This compilation touches on many different angles of this type of music. From tripped-out and buzzing synth-scapes to full-on MPC-made party-thumpers, there's a lot in here. Beat Dimensions has helped set the tone for the developments in beat-oriented music, becoming almost a genre in itself. Other artists include: Zo aka La Chauve-Souris, P.U.D.G.E., Mike Slott, Mono/Poly, Erik L, Kenlo Craqnuques, Dalt Wisney, and Busy.
