Lanzarote

This season tends to be emotionally heavy for me. Even when good things are happening, there’s that quiet, strange feeling like something’s off but you can’t quite name it. You want to open up, but the words never land quite right. You feel misunderstood, not just by others, but by yourself. And sometimes, you just need a break from people needing you because you need you.

That’s what this playlist has been for me. A space to feel, to process, to breathe.

I’ve been making these for over 15 years. Each one marks a chapter. Where I was, how I felt. Music has always been my way through.

So here it is. A reflection. A companion. A soft place to land when the words don’t come.

Find a park to sit in. Let the grass touch your feet. Take a bike ride. Go for a long walk. And press play.

We are alive. Like really alive.

like you ever asked me to

Out now everywhere: fsx.lnk.to/body-slam

Beyond a long time coming, one of our oldest friends in music since our earliest blog days – Sxlxmxn now officially breaks bread with us as a label for his first solo outing.

Those who have paying attention should already know of him by now, if not from theHOMETEAM single he produced for us a while back (https://soundcloud.com/freshselects/thehometeam-crash-dummies), then for his extensive work over the years with damn near everyone in the Portland rap scene (Milc, T.$poon, Illmac, Donte Thomas, Bocha, Cassow, Epp... you name 'em, he's got something with him), or for some of the high-profile collabs he's produced with Mick Jenkins, Westside Boogie, Guilty Simpson, Iamsu!, Jason Martin, and Ruck of Heltah Skeltah.

If not – we got you.

On this first single for Fresh Selects (of many more still to come), the perpetually-prolific Portland producer brings together two of the Midwest's best to the Pacific NW, with dueling verses from Boldy James (Detroit) & Vic Spencer (Chicago) – with Seattle's own Na'ki bridging it all together on the hook.

"Big Screen Body Slam"
