Marinate Media Premiere:

Restless is stacy--18 year-old producer from Portland, Oregon--his debut EP. The six track release features a collaboration with Potholes Music producer, Black Noi$e (World's Fair, Boldy James, Roc Marciano) and a jarring remix of Alexander Spit's "Facemelter". Stacy is an up-and-coming producer with projects in the works with San Jose emcee, Main Attactionz affiliate, Antwon and Alexander Spit. 

The EP is a combination of well-placed percussion elements (clicks, shakes, delayed snares)  and atmospheric environments. His sound is reminiscent of Bruiser Brigade's skywlkr, Black Noi$e, Keyboard Kid and Nem270. With a unique 'cloud rap' sound stacy is sure to be an artist we'll be hearing associated with some of our favorite artists.

Restless EP

Marinate Media presents: 

Shadows is a 14-piece showcase of artists and producers from around the country who're making phenomenal music. Many of these producers are under the age of 18 and making sounds beyond their years. Others, (Black Noi$e, Do$age, CONTACT LENS, etc.) have established they're here to stay for a long, long time. In 2013 look for these producers/artists to step out of the shadows and into the spotlight.

Duke Hugh, hip-hop producer/musician/alcoholic, is a master of flipping soul samples and turning them into golden-era-esque beats. It's awesome. I had to ask for a Marinate Mix. He says, "When I got home I got the decks and some vinyl out and just went with the flow hope you like it, it's a lot of different stuff." His mix is 40 minutes of chilled-out hip-hop jams from Common's "Interlude #3" to funky favorites like, Tom Browne's "Come for the Ride". Do yourself a favor...kick off your shoes, pour a drink and soak in this.

Antonio // Marinate Mix

Hi folks, this one is from 2012. Right when Sweater Beats signed with HW&W he provided Marinate Media this mix. I'm so happy to see his fan base grow. His music has always been produced at an elevated level, really an other worldly level and he continues to grow as an artist. Let's take a trip back two years ago, I know you'll enjoy this. Boogie down beats over everything.

SWEATER BEATS - Marinate Mix

Creature in the Woods is a solo music venture by New York producer Tyler Morrisette. He builds energetic beats with crafty drumwork, thoughtful synth patterns, and he collaborates with some extremely talented vocalists. His (debut) self-titled EP is truly one of the best short releases of 2014.

His mix offers up some of his original tracks, remixes, and also features some of his favorites from FLYamSam, Cypress Hill and BBNG, among others. This mix captures the best of different genres and styles that have influenced Morrisette's work. This mix is a great introduction. Keep an ear to the ground because Creature In The Woods is an emerging talent and we expect him to do big things in 2015.

Premiered on The 405: http://thefourohfive.com/news/article/abadabad-all-the-bros-say-stacy-remix-listen

After being given the stems to ABADABAD's hit "All The Bros Say", Stacy decided to turn their surf rock ballad into a gauzy, dark production. The track's subtle percussion elements and vocal manipulations make it a hauntingly beautiful rework. 

Stacy has produced for up-and-coming rappers Alexander Spit, ANTWON and has collaborated with producers Caleb Stone, Froskees of The Shadowrunners Click and Black Noi$e (World's Fair, Boldy James, Roc Marciano, Joey Bada$$,) among others. Earlier in July he released his debut EP Restless with Marinate Media.

Nefarious! isn't just a great producer; he's also the head of The Soul Dojo. He's helped put out releases from LAKIM, Abjo, Trebles and Blues and Scrabbles, among others. He's one of the best advocates for hip-hop out there.

His Marinate Mix highlights his successes as both a producer and label manager. He says, "This mix has some of my favorite joints from various The Soul Dojo releases, music from our homies, and unreleased tracks from our artists and friends." This is a must listen.

Check out the Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yLIJ6xlNSEU  (seriously...it's dope.)

VHS Logos, a Brazilian “post-internet” producer, gave us a 10 minute mini Marinate Mix and it’s wavy y’all. They’re all original tracks produced by him…pure funk. Think tracking VHS tapes and rewinding cassettes with a pencil. Think ’90s fashion. Think neon. Okay. You’re in the right mindset to fully enjoy how awesome this video mix is. It’s curated by editing guru El Famoso Demon who weaves in old pop culture references and doesn’t ease up on the tracking fuzz. You’re going to want to check this one out.
