I’m going to keep this one short and sweet, because of some formal education imposed time constraints. Two of the most talented producers in Seattle just released one of the best instrumental releases the city has seen in sometime. WD4D (member of the Stop Biting Crew, more to come on them later) and Suttikeeree (formerly Dead Noise) released the After School 2 EP on Fourth City Records earlier this week, and boy is it great. It reminds of Hudson Mohawke’s most recent Satin Panthers EP, not so much in its sound (although the two do share some key characteristics), but in its range tempos and sounds. “Quest For Fire” transitions between dubstep basslines and sped up vocal samples, while “Ride-By Music” features a chopped Cool Kids sample and sound about a million times better whippin it down the freeway with two 16’s in the back than on my shitty macbook speakers. After School 2 is one of those perfect synthesis of experimental hip hop and bass music with a maximalist ethos. If you cop any new music today, make this it. It’s free, but only through tomorrow.
