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
PODCAST: A playlist of beats from J Rawls and Masta Ace, Mecca:83, Tall Black Guy and more
Wow, has it been a month already?
This latest session includes some of the finest in underground hip hop from our most recent interviewee J Rawls and Masta Ace; as well as a classic from LuxDeville.
Elsewhere there is future RnB from IAMNOBODI and Ile Flottante; some great house from 3rd Culture Kid, glitchy greatness from IGLOOGHOST and an epic jazz tune from another The New Beatmaker favourite, Bill Laurance.
There's also the winners of House Shoes' recent J Dilla electric piano flip contest, Shash'U and Tall Black Guy, who show the diversity and creativity of the beatmaking culture by taking the same sample source in completely different directions. Congratulations to the pair of them.
And, as if all of that wasn't enough, there's even more heat from M-Phazes (as Camden Arc), Mecca:83, Central Parks, K15, Sev Seveer, Radius and Sombrero Galaxy, wooh!
