Music: @ErrorBroadcast by @sr_aye

This post was originally written by Sr. Aye, someone I have the honor of knowing personally and the man behind the Miga Netlabel. Sr. Aye is himself an authority in music and when he told me I had to check out Error Broadcast, I did. After I listened to it I could understand why he felt the urge to write a post about it and, because I subscribe to all of his words (yeah me, the guy that doesn’t appreciate hip-hop that much) I decided to translate it.

21st Century Beat Music is how Error Broadcast’s founders  define themselves and the truth is that they are right. After listening to their very interesting catalog, I have reached the conclusion,that Error Broadcast has been able to differentiate themselves from other labels and have a spot of their own, by releasing good music.

Error Broadcast is an Italo-German project run by Sven Swift y Flip that has released 8 references and 3 mixtapes. Contemporary beats, of (still) unknown artists that bring freshness and new sounds. There are other netlabels that I follow like Budabeats or Dusted Wax Kindom that release high quality hip-hop, but much less risky in format and with a more classic cut.

Error Broadcast’s first reference was the compilation [ebc001]V.A “Bag of Nothingness” that is a declaration of intentions with tracks from Comfort Fit + Prortformat (Tokyo Dawn Records), Lambent (Project Mooncircle), Apes on tapes and instant hits like “Juno Had a Rough Day” by Great Mundane.

The following 4 releases allowed me to get to knnow AEED, Swede:art x A-rec x Fuer.steps, Shlohmo and Pixelord.

AEED is synthetic and full of good taste. Shlohmo is a man from the future, minimalist and fresh that reminds me a bit of Dilla and people like Stones Throw. Swede:art x A-rec x Fuer.steps have really authentic themes and overall the whole thing sounds fat while Pixelord distinguishes himself in the use of his 8 bit synths and his analog arsenal.

After this Error Broadcast released Pixelord remixes and some days ago two new releases from Kenlo Cranqnuques and B-ju of which they have pressed some copies in 7″ vinyl that are almost sold out. Error Broadcast is offering some of these and you still can make an  entry to  their competition by following this link.

The mixtapes are also high-grade material and there is a lot of music to get to know. The selection and the mixing itself are really well done. They call it Wonky, some other say it is post-Dilla… to me it sounds like good music that I invite everyone to listen to.
