As 2013 draws to a close, we re-cap some of our favorite releases this year. In random order, our first pick is…

Today we travel to the UK, bringing you the sounds of
Random P and his full-length release, ‘
Butterfly Kid’. Produced by Shift K3Y the album dropped June 13, 2013 and is available to listen and download for free
here.
A bit of a shift from our normal repertoire, Butterfly Kid is where smooth beats meet honest rhymes. Describing his style as ‘organic soul/liquid groove from the depths of Northern London’, Random P is definitely not one to shy away from mixing elements. Butterfly Kid is a testament to this, featuring songs driven by deep bass, lyrical rhythm and a healthy dose of sampling. Needless to say, Random P keeps things interesting. Personal favorite track? Best Friend.
You can follow Random P on Facebook to keep up with future news.

Dalle Ombre was released today by producer Gaszia, and the ep had our attention from start to finish. Exemplified in the track “Hakor” Gaszia’s music is clean and dynamic.
The sonic elements of Gaszia’s songwriting seem to take influence from a lot of currently prevalent electronic music genres, while still remaining exclusive to any one of them. Crisp drum and bass content, well sampled melodic material and balanced atmosphere really lend variety to this release, and it consequently holds the interest of it’s listeners.
With five diverse tracks, Dalle Ombre presents a nice duration of great material. You can download the album free at Gaszia’s Soundcloud page here (http://goo.gl/82p7hg).

NT has been with us since the beginning; a producer from the Netherlands that made up half of our first release Kintsukuroi. We’ve worked together on a number of tracks and I’ve watched his sound develop over the year. Never have I been more excited to announce an “up and coming” producer on SBMRSD. NT has settled into a coherent, clean sound with seamless combinations of electronic and acoustic material.
Today we’re announcing NT.MMXIII as NT’s full title, and featuring his first release under this moniker, an edit of “The xx - Angels”.
With plenty of new material due out later this year we’ll be following up on NT soon. You can keep up with him here:

This year I’ve discovered a true love for funk and disco music. There’s no feeling quite like cruising through San Francisco with 110 beats per minute blaring through your headphones. Almost single-handedly supplying this new love of future funk, is Keats Collective and their quality selection of artists.Yesterday KC released a split album between Crowns, Dinosaurus Rex, Saint Pepsi and Harrison.
I would adamantly recommend checking out any one of these producers releases; a ten track split release featuring all of them is an absolute must-listen. You can stream and purchase the album on the Keats Collective Bandcamp page here: (keatscollective.bandcamp.com/album/choice-cuts).
