Gaslamp Killer
Gaslamp Killers [Mixtape]
Self-released 2007

Call it downtempo, call it hip hop, call it dirty-as-hell drum funk. If you love early Mo' Wax drums a la Malcolm Catto or the Stones Throw's Curse of The Evil Badger record, you'll absolutely love this. Gaslamp packs sick instrumentals and drum tracks, all beautifully sequenced and mixed, with your occasional hip hop instrumental thrown in for familiarity. Expect heavy beats from Krush, Radiohead, Mo' Wax's Now Thing compilation, Dr. Octagon, Peanut Butter Wolf, plus more than 40 ill tracks and breaks too obscure to name. Plus, it makes a great appetizer to Gaslamp's first Money Studies release on the Secret Hideout EP (coming very soon). The funk is real strong with this one. Over an hour. -TTLab

First mix in a while here after DJ Mitsu's 28 Roses; fucking stellar too, no two ways about it. This guy's full-length debut should be out soon - in the meantime you can check his MySpace for some tasty samples of his own productions.
