Introducing: Galo. A 17 year old kid with an ear for crazy beats and a hand for perfect mixes, giving ya’ll his salute for his favorite beats that’s been running around for the past few years (and some 90′s highlights).

First single out of A7 & Plusga’s upcoming EP.

Soon available for Digital purchase and silk-screen printed 12″ vinyl purchase.

This is the second video directed for Raw Tapes, and the first one directed by one of our artists. It’s a brilliant video and all, but let’s just hope Plusga won’t ditch us for some big shot fim production company…

Bajka is the people’s voice, searching for the truth in a confusing reality where people don’t ask right questions but want the right answers.
But let’s take it about 365 days ago-

Rejoicer moves to Berlin to start a new life, little does he know he is about to meet Bajka, a strong woman with an even stronger voice who is on the look out for fresh producers.
2 minutes is all it took for both to realize it was a heaven made match, Rejoicer’s ambient yet powerfull synths and Bajka’s mesmerizing, almost hypnotic voice, half rapping half preaching for a bright new world, fit together perfectly, pushing the boundaries of soul music into new soundscapes.

At a time when no one works strictly with MPC’s anymore, we have put out for you a pure, hardware-only, true-school, Hip Hop beat album.

A few years ago St. Svenson & MC Ayatolla, two longtime friends who had been messing around with MPC’s and mic’s ever since, have put together a compilation album of beats and rhymes, “Sounds of Victory”, which instantly became a local classic. 5 years have passed and the beats kept piling up in endless memory cards laying around Svenson’s room.
One clear afternoon, MC Ayatolla went through all the beats that were laying around and picked the chosen few to represent the works of 5 years of Table Knights.

The results are right here – 30 minutes of beats that will sock your knocks out.

This is the Raw Tapes sampler mix for 2012, showcasing some of the upcoming sounds for 2012 that we have in store for you. Obviously, more music shall come as the year goes by.

Some of the upcoming releases:
-Table Knights (Svens & Ayatolla) – Gutter Cats LP
-Bajka – Just the Truth (Prod. by Rejoicer)
-A7 – Blasphemy (Prod. by Plusga)
-Buttering Trio – Tired Love
-Luq@DaSinez LP
-And more fabulous, fresh new sounds from other Raw Tapes artists – so keep your eyes opened

We’re not quite sure about the meaning of the name Raamses, and either does Radixx. Probably high doses of Sun Ra and SG-1 as a child made the connection between Egyptian Pharoas, music and electronics. He did say something about a series albums named after Egyptian Pharoas “Mainly because the names are def unique, like the ish I’m trying to put out”.

This is Radixx’s third release on Raw Tapes.

Soon available on iTunes, Juno, etc

Rejoicer, Plusga, Dubz & Mesh will be warming up DOOM at the 26th of November 2011 show. To celebrate the occasion, we have released a quick DOOM remix compilation, for ya’ll to enjoy.

“I had this style ever since I was a child, I got this other style I ain’t flip in a while, it goes…”

We are pleased to announce Luqman’s debut EP – Altered Thinking.

A jazz guitarist, coming from a musical background of punk and jazz, Luqman came across some Dilla and Madlib beats which made him drop the strings and pick up the drum pads.
1 year later, and this 21 year young cat is grasping the beat movement by the balls. As a guitarist Luqman was always dependant on his fellow band members to create a whole song and be able to fully implement his visions – but now he’s calling the shots. And thank god he does.
Some jazzy, 8-bit chords, some phat saw waves, drums so raw they almost sound acoustic.

All tracks produced and mixed by Luqman except track 7 produced by Luq@dasinez.

Following the success of Mad Steve’s 1st album – “No”, comes the MC friendly, intelligent, totally emotionless – “No 2: The Threshold of Liberty”.

Contrary to the last release, which was more of a collection of beats, this is a much more wrapped up album with a certain concept behind it. In this album Mad Steve manages to capture a very vivid and warm image, yet keeping the instruments pretty minimal – saying no to exaggerated texturing and excessive emotions. That’s Mad Steve for you – trying to hide his emotions.

If you’re an MC, you’re probably going to love this album.
If you hate music, well, you’ll probably love this too.
Actually we can’t think of people who might not like this album…maybe deaf people.

All tracks produced and mixed by: Mad Steve

Mastered by: Bunny on Acid

Citizen Kane - B.A.B.O.B

Back in 2010, this album was actually supposed to be a mere beat tape consisting of about 8 beats, just to let the people listen to some music by the Citizen.

But fact is, Kane is one hell of a perfectionist. Not a single frequency slips his ears, not a single hit slips the groove.
This means deadline postponing, but this ultimately means one hell of an album, debut, for Citizen Kane.

Please help yourself with some space synths, soulful swing and perfect sound.
