Sorry, these aren’t up for download yet, but here’s the first single, ‘My Guitar Whales’ taken from Paul White’s forthcoming album ‘Paul White & The Purple Brain’. A psychedelic stripped-down banger, it mixes an Eastern-influenced organ hook, rock hard drums, fuzzy synth bass and delirious chanting to mesmerising effect.

Released by: One-Handed Music
Release/catalogue number: HAND7007
Release date: Apr 19, 2010

The second ‘proper’ album from Paul White – ‘Paul White & The Purple Brain’ is all set for a June release and ‘ready to melt any mind that will allow it access’.

Being released in conjunction with Now-Again Records, the Stones Throw sister label, below is the first release, free for your listening pleasure.

Don’t forget you can catch Paul White playing at Droppin’ Science on May 1st @ Vibe Bar, Brick Lane. Keep your eyes peeled for the Facebook Event coming shortly.

My good friend Dj Khalil is kindly offering his newest mixtape out for free.

For those of you that copped his exclusive Hip Hop Connection Mixtape for THTC will know this one is worth a download, however don’t expect straight Hip Hop… this mixtape blends “something a little different”, expect beats, electronic, house, garage, touch of dubstep… nice.

“Kilowatt V2” is the second of three releases from Kilowatt Music’s producer series, and V2 sees Eric Lau bring the heat. Expect 2 vocal tracks, 2 interlude tracks and 2 intrumentals. Featuring Oddisee and Muhsinah, Eric continues to cement his role as one of the best soulful beat makers around at the moment. This is a great way to follow the stupidly dope New Territories LP, I can’t fault this one bit.

Snippets in the widget below, expect to see this in stores on 7 Inch and CD on March 1 2010.

Cold Legistics: After hearing some of their beats, I got in contact with Chris Brassard, one half of Cold Legistics, to get a bit of background on them and their sound. Cold Legistics started about 4 years ago, and consists of Chris Brassard & Teddy Rosenthal. Teddy goes by the name of Teddy Roxpin, lives in Boston, MA, and works with a lot of rappers in the Boston area. Chris, a native of Providence RI, currently lives in Portland Maine studying at Uni and started producing when at high school, at the young age of 15. Chris’s main influences are Dilla, Dj Premier, Pete Rock, Hi Tek, RZA, Kev Brown, and Bullion. Apart from the ‘Deeper Than You Think’ EP, Cold Legistics’ most recent release is an album released online last week called ‘Northern Star’, which can be downloaded at the link below:

Download: Cold Logistics – Northern Star

Deeper Than You Think EP: Cold Legistics uses clean, intricate drum beats and have immaculate use of sampling. Throughout the EP you can hear samples of Marvin Gaye, Gil Scott-Heron, Redman, Big L, David Axelrod and even The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, all used in moderation to compliment the beats. The album takes you on a journey through different tempos and sounds, from the laid back ‘Didn’t Want To’ with it’s Kev Brownesque guitar samples & vocals subtly echoing in the background, the Dilla inspired genius of Sampling Interlude’ and ‘I’m Gone’, to beats like ‘Coming Home’ and ‘Traffic Interlude’ which could be mistaken for 9^th Wonder produced masterpieces. This EP has a unique sound and is my favourite of what I’ve heard from Cold Legistics, but do check out the ‘Northern Star’ album too.

Future Releases: Apart from future Cold Legistics releases, Chris and a crew consisting of Maine locals O*zee, Shane, Reis and Essence, will also be dropping an album soon under the name ‘In the Attic’. I’ll keep you all posted on news regarding that one.

Big thank you to Chris for help with this post.

Hi, my name’s Rob & am proud to be the newest contributor to the Droppin’ Science blog. I’m very into my music, Hip Hop in particular, and am looking to put you guys onto some great music via this blog. Hope you enjoy the first post for 2010, some instrumental joy from Germany. Peace

Quiet is a beatmaker from Baden-Württemberg in the SouthWest of Germany. His beats are soulful, jazzy with warm, minimalist bass lines. His beats are sometimes reminiscent of Pete Rock or even J. Rawls, yet he still maintains his own distinct, unique sound. If you’re a fan of J. Rawls’ Liquid Crystal Project, Pete Rock’s more recent instrumentals or even Nomak (for those of you up on your Japanese Hip Hop), definitely give Quiet’s beats a listen.

Check out his MySpace page here, it offers free downloads of a couple of albums and EPs too.

Download Quiet’s 2009 album The Jazz Injection Vol.1 (Instrumental) here.

Brand new single from Bullion, ‘Say Goodbye To What’ b/w ‘Crazy Over You’. The 7” and download will be available on One-Handed Music on 25 January.

After Bullion’s ‘Young Heartache EP’ ushered in the dreamy days of summer, the young producer returns with a brace of wistful songs for winter in his singularly perfectionist style. ‘Say Goodbye To What’ is hook-laden psychedelic funk, a pop song brimming with intricacies and a beautifully-skewed production approach. It may well be the strangest singalong track of the year. Flipside ‘Crazy Over You’ is a melancholic headnodder, drifting through the speakers with a lovelorn grace while pummelling you with the bottom end. The life of the romantic is not always an easy one. Bullion’s previous releases ‘Get Familiar’ and the ‘Young Heartache EP’ have established him as one of the top players in his field. The West Londoner can count Zane Lowe, Gilles Peterson, Mary Anne Hobbs, Benji B, Mr Scruff, Gaslamp Killer and Goldie amongst his fans, and that’s just for starters.

Here’s a cheeky little taster of forthcoming mixtape from my man DJ IQ featuring the likes of Ramson Badbonez, Hey Zeus, Kashmere, Jehst, Stac, Joker Starr, Micall Parknsun, Professor Green, Gen, Sonny Jim, Pride, TB, Asaviour, Eva Lazurus.

Beats by DJ IQ, The Mighty Hoax, Joker, Hudson Mo, Samiyam & Kid Sublime.

Visuals by D.E.D (I think!).

Don’t forget about the mixtape launch party either on December 2nd.

Kam Moye (aka Supastition) has been consistently churning out high quality product for a while now. I’ve always appreciated his everyman, honest, day-to-day approach to his lyrical content, & he’s always had an impeccable taste in beats & producers to work with from the likes of 9th Wonder, Khrysis, Illmind & M-phazes etc…

In his latest re-invention as Kam Moye he’s also upped his lyrical game a notch or two - preview / buy his new LP “splitting image” here ..  Droppin’ Science approved!!
