Gold Panda - Clarke's Dream

If you've been following Digital Drop you'll know that from time to time I like to hit you guys with something that isn't Rap/Hip-Hop well today is one of those days. You guys also know how rare it is that I post instrumentals at all, so with all that in mind enter "Clarke's Dream" from UK producer Gold Panda. I won't get into the details of way I like this track, I just do, simple as that. This is just here for your listening pleasure as a suggestion from your favorite anonymous blogger. I do want to link it all back to Hip-Hop though, I only know who GP is thanks to Pitchfork and more importantly Curren$y all because of this legendary piece of footage here. 

"All I know is..."

Suncaste - Knight Ryder ft Ciscero

I don't know much about D.C.'s Suncaste other than, that he is a producer and a damn good one at that. On "Knight Ryder" he links up with Maryland's Ciscero who delivers an impressive verse full of witty wordplay and alliteration over the excellent experimental electronic/hip-hop production.

I checked out Sun's Soundcloud after I heard this track to see if he had any other material and sure enough he did, a decent amount of instrumentals with electronic, trip-hop and traditional hip-hop bases and a few with all three elements effortlessly fused together. If you enjoy Flying Lotus or the music featured in Adult Swim's bumps I'd highly recommend you check out his other work. Great stuff.

Manuel Fresco - Andromeda

Producer Manuel Fresco is back with his latest track "Andromeda" and as you can probably guess from the title it features a space theme. I have to give props to dude he sent me this track a while back before it was finished and I definitely didn't think it would end up sounding like this. This honestly might be my favorite track from him. Fresco remains to be one of the few producers I actually enjoy listening to and a promising one at that. Every time I hear something new from him it's always an improvement over the last, not too many artists I know can do that. Be sure to check out his debut project 19 and look for more material from him in the future.

20syl x Kendrick Lamar - Sing That Shit

French producer 20syl takes Kendrick Lamar's excellent verse from Game's "The City" backs it with some original production from himself to create "Sing That Shit", a pretty interesting combination to say the least. 

[Submission] Timmie - Aura

Arkansas producer Timmie recently dropped his album Aura and while short in duration it is an enjoyable listen. Aura's best quality is the trance like state you fall into listening to it, all eight tracks really flowed cohesively together. Credit to Timmie for that. I normally don't enjoy purely instrumental albums but this one is really nice.
