French producer Dela drops his new project The Robert Glasper Beat ape, an instrumental project inspired by (obviously) Robert Glasper. http://dela.bandcamp.com/album/the-robert-glasper-beat-tape The first time I heard Robert Glasper's music was in the summer of 2007. I was hanging out with the homie phinydee in the jazz record shop he used to work at, in Paris. We were trying to finish Changes Of Atmosphere at the time, so quite often I would stop by the shop so we could discuss featurings, label deals, yadda yadda.. So anyway, Phinydee had In My Element playing in the background, and of course Dillalude caught my ear... “hold on, what is this ?!” But shortly we got back into babbling about distribution, mastering, budget and all that, so I didn't get to give the album a proper listening. 我也是為了DILLAlude Until october 2009. A that time, Robert's latest, Doubled Booked, was on heavy rotation at the crib, and after I twat (twitted ?) about it, 同樣的情形也發生在我身上 twitters @FROactiv and @fwmj advised me to get my hands on In My Element. A couple weeks later I found a copy in Archambault in MTL, so I copped it, went home and played it and... DAYMN! This album is 1) very dope 2) absolutely full of samples. Some of the interludes are basically hip-hop beats already... 真的嗎? So.. I was like, I can't sample the whole album and get away with it, can I ? Can I ??? I felt guilty already, so I figured I might as well do it, but call it a remix album or something.. And I started making these beats. So there you go now, The Robert Glasper Beattape is up for free download. If you like it, please support good music by copping In My Element, you’ll like it too. It’s on iTunes, and you should be able to find the CD in the jazz section of your nearest record store.. Enjoy ! --
