Oh No Nuno! - Dusty Gentle Insides EP

netlabel - dog eared records
genre - instrumental hip-hop, electronic

Proudly bearing its loopy plumage from the get go, Oh No Nuno! (a.k.a. Ian D. Hawgood) tackles the hip-hop/electronica genre like a kid playing hop-scotch over an oversized map of the London Underground. He jumps and twirls, skips and zig zags, over a sharp and dynamic abstraction of the city. The beats are tight and often quirky, the hooks are bright and always memorable, the ambient washes have the colour of treasured polaroids. If you're familiar with the genre you wont be surprised by the build-up technique of these songs, the self-assembling clockwork which gathers layer upon layer and then sheds them off to leave the bare heart of the music beating over the twilight colours ...
Thanks to Miklos - Niteffect.

Matam - Good Netlabels vol.2

genre - trip-hop, nujazz, instrumental hip-hop, mix
release date - 2008

Matam is the author of the next release from the series of Good Netlabels sets. The style of the content has changed a bit in comparison with the previous mix. This time a more aggresive, trip-hop oriented music prevails, though there is also plenty of nu-jazz bits and sounds bordering on hip-hop and electronic. In this 47 minutes long set Matam has stirred 15 excellent tracks from the world's undergound of contemporary music.
Special thanks go to blondas, a skilled Polish photographer who has done the cover art for this work. Many thanks also go to: nowa muzyka, 80bpm, vombat radio, independent and mixotic.
You can find more info about Good Netlabels vol.2 and Good Netlabels vol.1 on the GNs SETs website.
