I’ve drawn on my musical influences for this edition of the Deceast Mix Series and pulled together an hour’s worth of hip-hop, downtempo, instrumentals, and additional odds & ends. There’s plenty of classic songs and deep cuts from the 1990s with a good bit of newly released music that I’m really into. The vibe is soulful and deep as usual, so download a copy, kick back and enjoy!

It looks like promotion for Breakage‘s upcoming album “Foundation” is starting to ramp up — two new videos for songs on the album have been posted by his label Digital Soundboy to YouTube. The first one, posted about a month ago, is a single featuring Roots Manuva titled “Run ‘Em Out” and is the first single off the new album. The second one is titled “Hard” and showcases Newham Generals and the legendary David Rodigan. If you’re familiar with Breakage’s back catalog, you’ll probably recognize the beat on “Hard” as the previously released “Together“, which came out on Digital Soundboy back in April of this year. The original release of “Together” featured a great track on the flip side called “Rain“, one of the few songs that samples Led Zeppelin and does justice to the original — in this case, a vocal snippet from “Since I’ve Been Loving You” from their 1970 album “III”.
