"When it comes to Hip-Hop producers, it's safe to say that M-Phazes is Australia's biggest export to date, having produced countless works for some of the biggest names in international Hip-Hop. That signature M-Phazes sound has landed on albums over the globe including Korea, Czec Republic, Spain, America, UK, Japan and South Africa.
M-Phazes is proud to release a compilation album featuring some of his all-time favourite collaborations from his back catalogue: "The Works" With over 300+ released songs to his name, "The Works" is comprised of 12 stand out songs from artists such as Talib Kweli, Pharoahe Monch ft. Jill Scott, Slaughterhouse, BIG K.R.I.T., Blu, Heltah Skeltah and CL Smooth. "The Works" showcases M-Phazes' ability to output a diverse range of sounds from soulful keys to harcore drums to triumphant horns, every base gets covered by the Australian beatsmith.
"You Don't Wanna ft. Jehst & Micall Parknsun" is the only 100% exclusive track featured on "The Works" and was recorded in 2007 when Jehst & Micall were touring Australia. Complete with a chopped piano loop, heavy bassline and smacking drums, Jehst & Micall showcase their phenomenal skills as wordsmiths over that classic M-Phazes signature sound! In 2010 M-Phazes released his Aria award winning album "Good Gracious" featuring an all-star lineup of Australian Hip-Hop artists. Now in 2013, M-Phazes is releasing his next installment of compilation albums but this time it features an all-star lineup of international Hip-Hop artists only. "

You can always count on Beat Society producer Shuko to bring fresh sounds and ideas to your ear in the art of boom-bap. Fashawn, Avius & Evidence express the fundamental aspects of their life purpose in rhyme form on "Same Ol' Line", letting you know nothing's changed and they still have a determined path. Shuko comes with a haunting Folk sample and hard-hitting drums to set the tone. His choice of sounds is refreshing to hear as a producer who embraces the power of his imagination.
This track is from Shuko's forthcoming "Foundation vol.2" mixtape hosted by DJ Green lantern and mixed by DJ Illegal from the Snowgoons.
The willingness of people around the world to help provide aid in the wake of Haiti's tragic earthquake has brought out the best in creative efforts from artists. The "Notes For Haiti" compiles songs from group of talented MCs and producers which not only stand out within underground releases in their quality, but display a reflection of life with the message of each song.
Some of these songs you may have heard on pre-existing projects by each artist, but on "Notes For Haiti" this selection of songs comes together for one strong listen to help you recognize the importance of what you have and assuming a greater position of responsibility in life through good music.
You may have heard this song elsewhere by many sites who have embraced the dope sounds of "Theme Music", now get a look at Fashawn, Buff 1, Scheme and DJ Babu directly in their studio work element. I have faith in all 4 artists as providers of quality, original Hip Hop for the future.
"Theme Music" is the first official single off RubyHornet's upcoming Closed Sessions: ATX project, dropping March 15th.
