MPM BEAT45 comig in February. YEAH!MICHIGAN NIGHTS EP (now available - limited to 250 copies in unique silkscreened covers)Hamburg producer Block Barley comes with his first vinyl release on his own label WE AINT MUSIC. This record is the follow up to his critically acclaimed album „Dead at the Control“ which was released by Hong Kong recordings in 2007. Block Barley once again delivers avant-instrumental-hiphop to the fullest and he ..s taking the next logical step forward on his evolutionary beat sciences. The EP..s wide-ranging sonic palette is a natural result of combining analogue oldschool drum machines with obscure samples and some digital goodies. For the EP..s title track „Michigan Nights“ he teams up with Detroits MC heavyweight and ex-Dilla protege Guilty Simpson (Stonesthrow records) to create some classic material. This song is also featured on the Audio CD of Germanys biggest HipHop magazine JUICE, issue july 08. From heavy drums and deep basslines to soulful melodies and disturbing noises – it..s all there. ............................................................ ............................................................ ................Label bio: Founded in Hamburg in 2008, WE AINT pushes the boundaries of adventurous music to establish a plattform for a diverse range of musical styles: From gritty drum loops to futuristic, synthed –up sounds.
