OL - Kurilovo EP

This is an interesting little feller, a 7" from Moscow hip-hop producer and skate obsessive Oleg Buyanov. When he's not shredding the sidewalks of Moscow this lad is working on a new vision for Future Funk which, in my opinion, is an excellent way to spend your time. This one's totally out of the blue. Not only do I know nothing about the record or the artist but it's an absolute gem! Think of O.L as a slightly darker, twisted version of the new stuff from the likes of Onra, Flying Lotus and Dam_Funk and you'll get some idea what to expect here. The beats are skitterish and light on their feet, the bass lines a total wooze inducers and bonus sonic touches give this a unique spooky flavour all of it's own. Definitely worth a listen if you've been digging that whole scene lately. Always been curious as to how records like this are produced. It's like a weird reverse compression thing going on. If anyone knows how it's done e-mail Business Lad at Norman HQ. Ta.
