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

'TTT' recently dropped his latest must-hear, 'Space Toast Vol. 3' and 'BBT' had me in the hot seat for a guest post about it.
TTT is an artist equally as comfortable - and skilled - at crafting head nodding, hypnotic instrumental hip hop as he is creating soulful dance music. On '...Vol. 3' his hip hop side is in full effect.
The project continues the interstellar themes of TTT's previous offerings, again evoking thoughts of an aquatic paradise hidden in a far-flung corner of the galaxy.
Whilst every track on the project is rewarding, my favourites are the minimal and dramatic introduction 'YoU're n0w CosmOLost...'; the idylic waterworld sounds of 'Astral Atlasatlantis'; the Dilla-meets-Erick Sermon funk of 'Just a' Touch'; and the haunting 'Spacebump #3'.
