***GIANT PANDA returns with an anticipated new EP. The drums still bang, with snares and kicks dominating the forefront of a large portion of the production, however, the melodies, chops, and loops aren’t “traditionally” jazzy or funky. Rather, thick, electro-fused samples are laced deep in the cuts of this record providing a much more futuristic but very present musical landscape.
LP $13.75

***A brand new joint from one-half of Los Angeles hip hop duo PEOPLE UNDER THE STAIRS, and a teaser to the upcoming Lifestyle Marketing album. With its rich vocal samples, classic boom-bap drums and strolling bassline, “Target” is pure ethereal funk. The B-side, “Grain Belt Bee,” contains head-nodding beats and a filtered vocal line.
