SOUNDHEALERS

A 14 track compilation featuring laid back hiphop productions, compiled by UK producer Bambooman, has just been released on the net. Bambooman's aim was to shed a light on some of the worlds finest up and coming electronic beat producers, and according to Lock it Down he passed the test with flying colors. 

Apart from John Phonics  and the compiler himself, I haven't heard of any of these producers before, making it all the more impressive that the overall sound of the compilation is very coherent. The ambient vibes and chilled out beats on SoundHealers bring back the days when Morr was king and the gordian knot of idm was loosened. Although getting fed up with that sound back in the day, this set of tracks sounds remarkably fresh. The main reason for that is, although the producers clearly take influence from their older peers, they've managed to timewarp it into the now. Taking as much from the old days as from current events such as dubstep and the LA beat scene, these soundhealers created a niche of their own. One I hope to hear more from in the near future.
