Stuff I Like (that you might too)

Second Time Round

Genevieve

In celebration of Hip Hop's 50th year, we've teamed up with London based ‘Classic Material’ to present a chronologically themed series of mixtapes celebrating the history of recorded Rap music, mixed by Chris Read. Alongside the Hip Hop series this companion Breaks series takes our re-cap of Rap History a level deeper, this time reconstructing the classics of the Hip Hop canon from their constituent sample material. Arranged chronologically of course, this fifth volume pieces together popular Hip Hop tunes from the year of 1990, utilising only the Funk, Soul and Disco tracks from which they were originally constructed. Artwork pays homage to Paul Winley's iconic 'Super Disco Brakes' compilation series.

#HIPHOP50: Classic Material The Breaks #8 (1993) mixed by Chris Read

This month’s Carhartt WIP Radio show features the New York-based producer, singer-songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist @keiyaa. 

Born and raised on Chicago’s South Side, keiyaA grew up singing in the Chicago Children's Choir, before studying the alto saxophone. Today, she combines her jazz training with stirring vocals and neo-soul sensibilities to create richly textured, yet introspective music. Her sound touches r&b, hip hop, and jazz, while also venturing into IDM, ambient, and experimental realms. 

For this episode of Carhartt WIP Radio, keiyaA has created a mix that features unreleased music, remixes and collaborative works, creating a deep, spiritual flow of experimental grooves, bouncy bass lines, and fourth-world rhythms, all combined with her signature mix of song, rap, spoken word.

As ever, we caught up with this month’s host to learn more about her musical upbringing, the collaborators who have helped shape her sound, and what the future holds. Read the interview via via www.carhartt-wip.com/journal/music.

Cosmic Dust Radio Show #043 ft. SKOR72

“MIRALUNIS” flows like moonlight scattered across wet stone, a reflective pulse at ~72 BPM shaped in G minor shades. Its stereo field (Side/Mid ~0.42) creates intimacy while keeping a cinematic depth. A dynamic range of ~19.5 dB allows textures to swell and recede like slow tides, while spectral energy around 2.9 kHz glows gently before rolling off near 7.2 kHz, giving the sound a luminous but never piercing edge.

Lo-fi warmth grounds the track with cozy grain, while cinematic ambient layers open a vast space for imagination. Subtle neo-soul chords and jazz undertones flicker like hidden lanterns in the night, perfect for deep focus, introspection, or dissolving into a midnight walk beneath aurora skies.

Technical Notes: ~72 BPM • G minor • Stereo width ~0.42 • Spectral centroid ~2.9 kHz • Rolloff ~7.2 kHz • DR ~19.5 dB • RMS ~-17 dBFS • 48 kHz

Genres:
Primary: Lo-Fi Chill / Cinematic Ambient
Secondary: Neo-Soul / Jazz-influenced Downtempo

Fusion Breakdown (%):

Lo-Fi Chill 40% / Cinematic Ambient 30% / Neo-Soul 15% / Jazz 10% / Experimental 5%

MIRALUNIS

    Rift Between Realms is a cinematic journey that blends lo‑fi glitch, analog warmth, and neon‑saturated beats to explore the boundary where digital pixels meet human soul.   

    Tracklist
    1️⃣ Pixel Soul – A glitchy introduction into a neon dreamscape.
    2️⃣ Analog Lullaby – Intimate reflections in a warm, vinyl‑rich sanctuary.
    3️⃣ Neon Eclipse – A cathartic climax that unites pixel and pulse.
