Fulgeance and DJ Scientist Jam Hip Hop over Soviet-Era Samples

MPC-mashing maestro Fulgeance, still fresh from working on the excellent CLAUDE debut on his own Musique Large label, has teamed up with Berlin's The Scientist on "The Soviet Tape."

The instrumental hip-hop mixtape is based on samples culled from soviet-era records sourced from all over the former USSR. Fulgeance's creative output is always skimming along the forward edge of creativity towards heady jazz and beyond, but this release is all good-times vibes, chopped up with samples from bossy Latvian horn quartets and Georgian folk.

We've got the premiere on "Vendetta." The tune kicks of with some whompy electro synth atop a behind-the-beat, hip-hop cadence, but it glitches into all sorts of territory in its 2:18 runtime. We're guessing Nikita Khrushchev would have been the most down. The whole Soviet Tape is released on February 16 on First Word Records.
