Elaquent

I found out about Elaquent by surfing around on Soundcloud and Band Camp. This producer from Ottawa, Ontario makes soulful, electronic, smooth, night-cruising beats for days. I encourage you to give his music a try if you're down with beatstrumentals like I am.

You can now find him amongst a solid roster of beat producers on the Huh What & Where ("HW&H") Recordings.

Looking for a chance to see this dude live.

Check some of his tracks below.

You can find more of his tunes here:

Oh the first track that got me hooked was "Teddy Bear." Smooth - I love that bassline!

Flying Lotus Documentary - "Fly First"

A new short documentary on Flying Lotus just dropped. Pretty cool, laid back guy and a decent documentary. I wish they would have featured more of what he actually does to create his Ableton sets and talk about his creative process. The flick focussed a bit too much on smoking bud and making funny faces for fan pics. I was hoping for more music and beat making philosophical goodness. I give it solid "aiiight!"
