Roel Funcken, Burient EP [Funck’d – none, 2022]

Still pushing the envelope/boundaries (it’s not the same vibe/thing using presets as actually being the originator of a sound.

Benge, The Dreamer – [Expanding Records – none, 2022]

So… it is a recurring figure here at resurface.se; the artist Benge that is. The owner of the all-important and influential Expanding Records. So, it all starts with an E? Well in all honesty it has to do with the (now) very distant past of ED (Electronic Desert). What?

Mando, Watch Your Six [DOM & ROLAND PRODUCTIONS – none, 2021]

Daniel Savio, Hip Hop [Flora & Fauna – FFLP39, 2021]

The latest album by Daniel Savio is aptly titled “Hip Hop” and it is an excellent one. But, Hey, wait a minute where are the vocals and the rest of the “must-have-paraphernalia” in any real hip-hop track? Where’re the $, Substances, the visible t*ts and that a** at (I mean not even on the cover…)?… Continue reading Daniel Savio, Hip Hop [Flora & Fauna – FFLP39, 2021]
