The New School: Day Ten - Jon Phonics

Last up on the New School (and by no means least) is another member of the Den familia Jon "Ill Clinton" Phonics. I first got put onto Jon back in '07 ,he had worked with a buddy of mine English and was up for collabin, after the postman stole the first copy I was hit up with a beat tape (which sounded more like a dope instrumental album) and after a few false starts (1) with joints getting scooped up (2) before I could claim them (3) we eventually managed to lay a track down (4)!! (and hopefully more in the future!!), anyway if you dont know then get to know, but following Louis Den I got no idea how you've slept on the kid! onwards with Luigi's write up/

Pump - Jon Phonics (THE NEW SCHOOL: DAY 10)

Since the release of 2008's Half Past Calm 1, 23 year old London based Producer, Jon Phonics has progressed into one of the most versatile talents from across the pond.

His latest release on YNR Productions 'Half Past Calm 2' is a showcase of his production work ranging from rugged boom-bap beats, smooth,melodic soulful records to progressive electronic heaters and featuring some of the UK's most notorious rappers. More of which can be heard on his 2009 instrumental release 'Jonathan's Beats & Piece's'.

Although having released 2 full length LP's, in less than 6 months, be on thelookout for more projects from Jon Phonics in 2010. Including productions with fellow Louis Den heads Jeekay, Beat Butcha, and Jaisu, and an LP with YNR label mate, Jyager. Jon also has productions on future releases from Jehst, Skandal, Black The Ripper, Verb T & hungarian rapper 'Speak', to name just a few.

Keep your eyes and ears open for this man and be sure to peep his music available for free via jonphonics.bandcamp.com.

The New School: Day Nine - BUG

BUG BUG BUG, what can I say...beast on the boards, constantly evolving and winner of the 2009 league; 2010 marks the year he's out to leave a mark with his few releases surfacing!, check LuigiBo's write up..

Indica - BUG (THE NEW SCHOOL: DAY 9)

By keeping up with the 2010 Louis Den Online League's Beat Battles, I stumbled upon this insane producer by the name of BUG.

BUG has definitely earned the title "Producer" in my opinion. He is able to create atmospheres with his beats as well as make something that just plain knocks! No matter what style he's displaying, he never falls short of being dope. I don't believe it was a surprise to anyone when BUG was crowned the 2009 LDBB League Champ seeing as he was consistent the whole way through.

BUG also has recently been included in a few compilations such as "Jus Like Music Records: Oscillations" and even was kind enough to give away his debut single "Cosmic Lab/20 winks" for free on his own bandcamp. Being only 24, he'll definitely be around for a while and you will want to keep you eyes and ears open for his work.

The New School: Day Eight - Myke Forte

Myke's a good dude!!!, he first came to our attention back in the first Beat Cypher from October 2008, what was crazy was he came to the night armed with beats and his MPC2500 just in case there was an opportunity to get down; since then he built with myself and Kela and even took a trip down to London (solo) after work (he was based in Milton Keynes at the time) just to play some beats with us a the producers event "Beat Shed".

He quickly started being a regular in the Den sessions and is now a permanent stay in Louis Den, here's Luigi's take on his beatmaking talents!

The ComeUp (Hunger) - Myke Forte (THE NEW SCHOOL: DAY 8)

Unfortunately, I didn't find out about Myke Forte until the tail end of 2009 with the release of his Zodiac : Aries beat tape. Once I gave the tape a listen I was instantly blow away and found one of my new favorite producers.

Listening to Forte's beats, you can definitely sense a strong Pete Rock influence. Myke is excellent at crafting mellow beats that sure to soothe your soul. Also being a member of the Louis Den movement, it's only a matter of time before Myke gets proper recognition.

Be sure to catch up on his Zodiak series of beat tapes and keep a look out for future volumes as the continue to get better and show different sides of Myke.

The New School: Day Seven - S-TYPE

I've had the pleasure of knowing S-TYPE for a minute now and its sure as hell dope to see a whole bunch of heads all come up and begin to break in on the industry and yep S-TYPE is one of em check out LuigiBo's write up below as yet another LDBB head is featured on his New School series..

Award Winning - S-Type (THE NEW SCHOOL: DAY 7)

Scottish producer S-Type released his infectious jazz influenced debut hip-hop 12", 'Soul For Your Stereo' featuring highly respected Detroit rapper Finale, at the ripe age of 18. Since then the 2008 Louisden league champion's beats have developed and progressed, drawing inspiration from all coasts and genres of hip hop as well as the myriad sub genres of electronica, leading to a powerful yet musical sound constructed from perfectly chopped samples and creatively played elements.

This has led to recognition from respected sources, such as Dart Adams'selection of S-Type as one of his 'producers to watch' and his invitation, along with fellow Louisden alumni Jaisu (also his Tartan Bully cohort), Bug and Kelakovski, to appear at Red Bull Music Academy's recent Glasgow showcase.

S-Type's beats definitely hold a lot of replay value and, with a beat tape due out soon along with production credits for Laws, Reks, Joe Scudda, Jay Rock and the forthcoming Grind Wit Me featuring Sheek Louch on Tek's Autumn album released on Duck Down, plenty more soul for your stereo is guaranteed.

The New School: Day Six - Inphy


* the following post is a summary/swipe of "THE NEW SCHOOL" series penned by LuigiBo87 and posted at hiphophypedog, Louis Den are covering the articles as LDBB fam are also featured!.




Inphy - Jay Z 99 Problems Remix (Instrumental)

This guy is the best kept secret out of everyone on this list; banging out all the way from the Czech Republic we have Inphy.

With a great ear for samples and drums you're sure to love his sound! Inphy is most definitely a graduate from the school of Pete Rock and is definitely going to be one of the torch carriers for the "classic boom-bap" sound in Hip-Hop.

His remix of Little Brother's "Life Of the Party" sounds like it easily could have been the original. From the drums, to the samples, all the elements hit the mark and it compliments the accapella perfectly in my opinion! At the young age of 19, Inphy is only going to get better from here! Get familiiar now!

The New School: Day Five - Jaisu





Jaisu - Kosmos (f)/(st)ans will recognise it from his opening blap in beat cypher 2!

Aite well continuing on LuigiBo's New School series (which he is running over at hiphop hypedog and we're dual posting here). Its the first of a few Louis Den residents that made the list in the form of Edinburgh heatmaker JAISU!. Lets see what they had to say about dude! - kos.



* the following post is a summary/swipe of "THE NEW SCHOOL" series penned by LuigiBo87 and posted at hiphophypedog, Louis Den are covering the articles as LDBB fam are also featured!.


This time we head across the pond to Edinburgh, Scotland to hear Louis Den regular Jaisu. If you're like me, you were lucky enough to randomly run across Jaisu's beat tape series on Youtube. If this is your first time hearing of him you're in for a treat!

Jaisu's deft, creative chopping skills, neck breaking drums and deep warm basslines combine to give his beats a unique, captivating feel which will appeal to both boom bap purists and fans of a more modern, forward looking, sample based hip hop sound equally.

The shooter and editor of Jaisu's beat tape series, ab0181, and the founder of Louis Den, Kosyne, featured him on their production DVD magazines: BCD 1 & 2. These DVDs, along with his production work for Sha Stimuli, Marvwon, Punchline, General Steele and on his fellow Beat Fanatic member Slopfunkdust's 'Smoker's Choice' project, are great starting points while you wait for his forthcoming, highly anticipated, beat tape to be released.

The New School: Day Four - Nameless


* the following post is a summary/swipe of "THE NEW SCHOOL" series penned by LuigiBo87 and posted at hiphophypedog, Louis Den are covering the articles as LDBB fam are also featured!.





Nameless - Emerald Dreams

Nameless comes from Flint, Michigan. Nameless is an extremely versatile and talented producer who gives another reason for me to believe that there really is something in the water in Michigan.

Nameless can do it all, from soul samples, video game samples, and originals that bang! Nameless even is dope in the fields of art and graphic design. I strongly suggest that you go to his Bandcamp site and just download everything. He has tons of bangers on all of his beat tapes, you won't be disappointed!

Also, be on the lookout for his new tribute project "Don't Hurt Em Teddy P" dropping this Summer! On top of that he also has, "CORDLESS" [B. Corder + NAMELESS], and "16-Bit: Bonus Stages" and "HellCassell" planned for this sumer also.

The New School: Day Three - J.Bizness

J. Bizness - Why

Championing a West Coast vibe; Ontario, CA's own J. Bizness is finally getting the shine he deserves.

J. Bizness has been making beats for 13 years and has scored placments with Trek Life, Little Brother, Buff 1, and Jimetta Rose. If you're looking for beats to just vibe out to, look no further than J.Bizness.

You may have heard some of Biz's productions recently thanks to his 3P series with FWMJ.

The New School: Day Two - B.Lewis


* the following post is a summary/swipe of "THE NEW SCHOOL" series penned by LuigiBo87 and posted at hiphophypedog, Louis Den are covering the articles as LDBB fam are also featured!.



Hurt Hurt Go Away - B.Lewis (THE NEW SCHOOL: DAY 2)


Lewis is a producer from San Jose, California and 1/3 of the group Alora along with RU and Insightful. Lewis started making beats about a year and a half ago and has picked up pretty fast! With a forte in sampling dreamy doo-wop and classic jazz records and his hooks that have that "Take em to Church" feeling to them.

As a heads up, Lewis' new one is dropping in a couple weeks its called Mercury Backburner.

The New School from LuigiBo87

Music head and blap aficionando LuigiBo87 has been dipping his toes into producer centred blogs/releases/compilations via the hiphophypedog blog and twitter, bringing you his Best Of Beats 2009 compilation at the top of this year to his Dust Of The NES compilation which featured 8-bit / chiptune inspired beats.

This time round (in association with hypedog) he plans to bring you 10 producers to watch for 2010, with some of the list containing Louis Den affiliates we figured we'd may as well mirror his posts here and let you know who else you should be watching out for and hopefully put you onto some new producers!.

lets goo.
