Tommy Guerrero is one of the most influential musicians for my development as a creator. He manages to blend his guitar with hip-hop beats in a way that clearly bleeds west coast and latin grooves. 

here's to a beat that aims to follow that lineage:-

Suzanne Vega - Tom's Diner (Metic's Mr. Guerrero Bootleg)

Moodymann - Misled (Cheap Kidz Remix) // Free Download

This unique band (pronounced: oh-wee-nee si-go-mah) is made up of 3 Londoners: 
brothers Louis and Jesse Hackett, and their school friend Tom Skinner and 2 gentleman from Kenya, Joseph Nyamungu and Charles Owoko, both masters of traditional Luo instruments, the Nyatiti and the Nyidoungue Drums respectively. 

The 28th of August will bring the release of their 3rd album ’Nyanza’, for which the group were invited to the Nyanza Province of Western Kenya, the Birthplace of Luo music, and homeland of Joseph and Charles, to record and craft the record closely with the roots of Owiny. 

The creative process of the Owiny Sigoma Band in the past has been crucially intwined by localities, memories and stories, as well as an element of spontaneity from their jam sessions. ‘I Made You / You Made Me’ sung by Jesse is a track inspired by the birth of his daughter. Stirred by hearing “purely happy” African popular music on the radio and taking early morning walks with gospel emanating from the churches Jesse challenged himself to write a joyous pop song.  This track beautifully reflects the ambience and energy of the environments in which it was made, and as well as Owiny Sigoma Band’s raw and organic collaborative process.

Riccio - Everything's Been Changed

June 17th 2016

“I just do what comes , i don’t limit myself when i’m in front of the mpc, just put the power on and fiddle shit with it.”

The words of Lyon based artist and new Robsoul Jazz signing LB aka LABAT, a producer on the rise and a young man who’s already caught the ear of MCDE. With a devotion to jazz and hip-hop it's no surprise that both genres heavily influence his own work, but House music? Well, that’s more a means to an end. 

“First and foremost I love to DJ. I’ve discovered how much I love that feeling of sharing my music and whats the point of a live show if it doesn’t  make your hips shake? Thats why I produce house music.”

2014 was the breakthrough year, when his track ‘More Kindyness’ was included on the ‘Le Sampler Des Copains’ vinyl release on Face Records. Since then his soulful, groove-heavy productions have impressed and lead to the current 2016 pinnacle of ‘Disques Solaires’, his debut album release on Groovedge Records. 

A new chapter now opens with his debut Robsoul release. An impressive five track selection that sashays through styles and sound to present a perfect picture of LB aka LABAT. House, Soul and Hip-Hop feed our soundtrack, powered by a sublime sample selection. Swing Ghetto Vol.1 … Enjoy!

FRAK - Project Digitalis

New no-fuss label from Pessimist focussed on (yep!) his own productions and collaborations. This first outing offers up two droning, paranoid breakbeat dreadnoughts that are unmistakeable Pess. His signature numinous drones and all-pervading sense of DREAD are present and correct, but rhythmically it’s a decisive step away from drum ’n bass into more of an Isolationist, industrial hip-hop zone - most obviously on ’SPRTLZM’, which feels like part of the same chilling-with-the-wrong-b-boy lineage as DJ Scud and I-Sound’s Wasteland gear and Scorn’s mighty Gyral. ‘SCIFI’ strips things back to a kind of downtempo gangsta techno - bombed-out and blunted but with a grim unstoppable It Follows momentum. Proper!

<2019 UPDATE> 
Six years ago, i released this bootleg right before i embarked on the Mongol Rally, a 37-day long journey from London to Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. The fact that this song is still relevant in 2019 is more than I ever could've hoped for, and for those still listening to this today I'd like to say thank you from the bottom of my heart, and that your support means the world to me. 

As for me, 2018 was a momentous year for me for I have come out of a long hiatus from releasing music. I released an EP under @horizonterminal with a buddy @lam_chop and also have been doing steady releases on my Spotify and Instagram channels. 

For those that would like to follow along, please come along to my Instagram (@meticmusic) where I am more active and we could connect! In the meantime, I've rambled a lot, so let's chiiiiiillllll - to the next episode :)
</2019 UPDATE>

was in the middle of working on a follow up to The (Sonic) Chronic when it dawned on me that it was in the same key and almost the same bpm as Nuthin' but a 'G' Thang. Couldn't resist this rework. No rights intended or reserved with this bootleg. 

here's to a summer to remember-
