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

The UK beatmaker specializes in beautiful productions which mix post - Dilla drums and soul with jazz and UK vibes to an always pleasing effect.
Mecca:83 has gone to the trouble of putting together this collection of free downloads, compilation tracks and remixes that all dropped this year for your listening pleasure.
Every cut on 'Loosies' is a gem. There's the poignant 'Eternally' and the 'Daybreak' remix by fellow beatmaking royalty Ta-Ku, which recently set the beatmaking twittersphere ablaze with excitement; as well as the fitting Roy Ayes tribute 'Closer To Ubiquity' and another personal favourite of mine 'Nightshift', which has plenty of ill syncopation to get lost in.
These 'Loosies' are beneficial to your health. Inhale deeply.
