1995/1996 remastered demo from unknown Bronx duo called the Midnight Eez..any further info on this pair get in touch!

So this is how the story goes.. A long long time ago in a galaxy far away, that is to say pre-internet, 1995 or 1996 to be not very exact, All City co-founder Splyce found himself on one of his regular record buying sojourns to New York. Approached outside the Fat Beats store by two guys who had heard he was a DJ from out of town and were eager to spread word of their production work outside their homeland, he was given a mix tape demo of their beats. Named The Midnight Eez, from the Bronx, they were one of thousands of budding production units on Manhattan Island. The tape came only with a name and pager number, which hardly surprisingly now goes unanswered in 2011, but after relocating that same tape in a recent house move, in the spirit of musical altruism we have decided to give it the proper vinyl release it deserves. Hopefully this release will see The Midnite Eez them get some belated but deserved shine. Tracklisting is precisely as per the original cassette, with 30 minutes of hip hop music over the two sides..

The Midnight Eez - Childhood Memories (ACTMELPx1)

Dela  -  We Will All B Free

“The Obsidian Agenda” by ArtBeatFeastVerse is a full-length spy-noir concept album built like a secret mission file.
A cinematic story unfolds across obsidian-black jazz clubs, rainy rooftops, neon reflections and late-night New York backrooms.
Warm jazz ambience merges with cold, surgical espionage rhythms — scratching vinyl, vinyl dust, noir sax glimpses, coded signals, midnight tension.

Every track is a chapter in a covert operation.
From Fifth Avenue shadows to East Terminal chases to Hudson conspiracies, the album moves like a lost 1980s agent thriller revived in modern form.
Elegant. Sharp. Dangerous.
This is spy-noir for the underground.

Produced by ArtBeatFeastVerse.
Recorded in the dark corners of New York.
For headphones, night streets, and coded messages.

One of the underground's hardest-working young producers, Oddisee has built a thorough body of work with a steady stream of albums, mixtapes, collaborations, and instrumental projects. On Rock Creek Park, he breaks us off with 10 joints that are universally chill, loaded with jazz-drenched loops offering wispy flutes, funked-out bass lines, breezy guitar licks, soft horns, and earthy pianos. “Closed After Dark," "Beach Dr.," and the vibraphone-and-ride-cymbal-laced "Mattered Much" are standouts, though the ‘80s-influenced "Uptown Cabaret" and yU collabo "Still Doing It" are also impressive. Though many of the tracks are similar on the low-BPM head-nod tip, they all sound great and make an ideal soundtrack for just keeping it mellow.
