Première sortie du label Content, "Loop Extensions" est l'œuvre de Dday One, metteur en son californien proche des activistes allemands d'Offbeaters/Subversiv. Collection d'instrumentaux soignés jalonnés de sonorités tribales (que l'on doit certainement aux origines nigériennes du monsieur), l'album est un recueil de samples habilement choisis et arrangés, imbriqués dans des compositions évolutives et feutrées qui rappelleront tantôt les travaux d'un Omid ('Distant Memory' et son sample de voix), voire d'un DJ Shadow ('Dust Ritual' et son breakbeat grignoté par de discrets accords de piano). En mêlant l'acoustique et l'électronique avec dextérité, et en utilisant le sample vocal comme un instrument à part entière (l'exercice de style 'MC's On Strike'), Dday arrive par moments, à s'affranchir de ces prestigieuses références précitées. C'est notamment le cas sur l'unique morceau rappé de l'album. 'Unstable Material 2', qui fait suite à une première version présente au tracklisting de la dernière compilation Offbeaters, est le point d'orgue du disque. Non seulement car il met en scène quatre canonniers bien connus de l'ouest mais aussi parce que cet instrumental digne d'une B.O. de série superficielle des années 80 est d'une rare efficacité.

Sans réinventer l'art du sampling comme peut le laisser entendre le communiqué de presse qui l'accompagne, "Loop Extensions" est une belle galette d'un rap instrumental cinématographique et évolutif qui devrait ravir les amateurs de M.Fusion et autre Deeskee. Du joli travail.

Un album conceptuel d'abstract hip hop tout ce qu'il y a de plus banal , qui nous surprend à nous faire dandeliner de la tëte .
Simple , efficace , Willie Green nous embarque dans les aventures des "Héros et Vilains" litéralement .
A découvrir , en plus c'est gratos ! Merci l'artiste !
by DJ DemonAngel

...Of Heroes & Villains is born out of Willie Green's childhood love of cartoons. In his words, the premise of this instrumental narrative is "the ultimate battle between good and evil. He-Man vs. Dangermouse's Baron Silas Greenback". The album pairs Green's agile beatmaking with a keen ear for samples pilfered from some of his favorite cartoons. As an extra bonus, Green has included two exclusive non-album tracks featuring billy woods of SCFB and Nasa of The Presence, respectively.

Slouch est un Dj producer de Brookyln. Son travail est super interessant et son album "Viva" est sorti un peu anonymement en 2006. Des sonorités et des samples très travaillés qui rappellent le meilleur de shadow. Le tout agrémenté de touches accoustiques. Une bonne découverte pour ma part.

Slouch is another trip-hop artist who has slipped under the radar while artists that are not as good get plenty of attention. This album is definitely a diamond in the rough. I have pretty high standards for trip-hop, and Slouch meets/exceeds these standards. Very recommended for fans of trip-hop.
