Hi! I'm Lee. Welcome to my blog. Here we talk music: news, reviews, interviews, tips, tutorials and more. I'm also working on the upcoming podcast Influenced as a guest, writer and researcher alongside music aficionado Mark Williams and friends. Watch this space! I have been a lover of music for as long as I can remember, an amateur lyricist for 25 years, a music writer for 15 years and a hobbyist musician and blogger for almost 10 years. My tastes range from jazz to house to hip hop and I love helping artists from all genres develop their sound. My music, videos, reviews and interviews have been featured in a variety of magazines and websites, including: B-Boy Tech Report Gimme That Beat Humanhuman Audio Skills Dream House Beats Where Did the Road Go Beat Tape Co-Op Push Power Promo Drum Magazine You can find my music on Bandcamp: Monkey Mind Sounds AKA LeeTNB And you can find me on Facebook: The New Beatmaker page Lee's personal page
I'm really looking forward to checking out the latest albums from two very talented artists, Lapalux and Bonobo. I've liked Bonobo for several years and, whilst shamefully late to the Lapalux party, really loved listening to him last year.
Lapalux released 'Nostalchic' on Brainfeeder this week, whilst Bonobo dropped 'The North Borders' on Ninja Tune the week before. Both albums come with a great sense of anticipation. Here, the internet's busiest music nerd, Anthony Fantano of theneedledrop.com shares his opinions.
I really like Fantano's reviewing style. The Needle Drop is a great place to hear very well informed and articulated views on both brand new albums and releases from years gone by.
I have meant to do a post on theneedledrop.com for a while now. Fantano doesn't call himself the internet's biggest music nerd for nothing, and he doesn't discriminate when it comes to what music is featured.
I usually visit his youtube channel once or twice a month if not more. I advise you to do the same. Also, if you haven't done so already, check out 'Nostalchic' and 'The North Borders'. I would love to know what you guys think of them in the comments section below.
