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:Spin-offs coming soon, plus a midyear roundup and more
I was lucky enough to feature on a midyear special episode of Influenced, hosted by Mark Williams.
- The previous seven Influenced Podcast episodes
- Projects of the year to date including a beattape must-listen that I omitted in error from our recent feature
- Great music documentaries on Netflix and Amazon Prime
- Influenced Soundbites: A forthcoming spinoff covering food, fashion, gigs and more
- Jay Electronica's official debut full-length
- The impact of Craig Mack's hip hop classic 'Flava In Ya Ear' and the equally memorable remix
Check out the episode on Spotify below:
Due to the nature of this week's episode, there's not a themed playlist.
Instead, check out a project which I talk about at around 40 minutes in.
I accidently left this off of our recent 'Midyear Roundup' feature recently, best believe it will be in the year end roundup. The hugely enjoyable concept-beattape dedicate to a certain classic SNES basketball game, 'Boom Shakalaka' by BoomBaptist.
