Head Here for an overview of the Streetfighter Beat Tape Series

Backstep Roll and Song for Jimmy are classic sample flips with added boom bap, though the groove is a lot more stilted and jarring, Lightning Cannonball has kind of a moombathon tempo, or should i say bossathon? Don’t know, not really good with genres and labels.

River Run and Rock Crusher are deeper, plodding amazon jungle jams, with a lot of bass and general sense of heaviness, while Mean Green and Electric Thunder are the party cuts, with busy syncopated drum patterns, footwork style.

The package is rounded out by three excellent remixes by Lupid, Brotto and K.Relly, so yeah, this is the most packed release in the series yet, and i’m really proud of it, head over to bandcamp, download it and let me know what you think of it.

9 New tracks, 32 minutes of music.

A collection of deep, bad beats inspired by the unparalleled sumo power of Edmond Honda.

As it happened last year, after making a handful of tracks i find myself with a lot of scrapped material: some of that, after a bit of time and polish, turn out surprisingly good. This new collection covers a lot more sonical ground, with some dubstep / uk garage vibes and even a little crazy jaunt into 4/4 territory.

And, of course, a definite Edmond Honda vibe.

FIREWORKS REMIXES adds a wider look to the downbeat scene already visited by Grillo.
Everything in our plans just happened as we involved an important international name like the parisian Fulgeance; a well known italian one like (Costa) and a rising talent from Bologna: Unstable Compound.

Fireworks is revisited but not destroyed: Fulgeance gives a further demonstration of is open minded music with a pure down-funk remix of Brown Box. (Costa) brings some dusty synth shots to the battle remixing Be Aware. Unstable Compound reveals for the first time his new obscure, filtered dubstep side, playing with Double Rare Tender. In the end, Grillo himself liked everything a lot and decided to put his second vision of Big City Lights, which looks more like a brand new track than a remix.

Unstable Compound – Double Rare Tender (3:49)
Fulgeance – Brown Box (5:02)
(costa) – Be Aware (3:43)
Railster – Can Never Be (2:47)

Matteo shows how the new Italian abstract hiphop movement is active and fresh, winking to old school stuff and watching to contemporary instrumental tendencies at the same time.

“Fireworks” puts together influences by Prefuse 73′s melodic taste, powerful triumphal beat lines and a lot of attractive spoken quotes perfectly cut into the main rhythmic pattern.

Nine tracks that will easily and gently fall into your headphones!

Grillo – Fireworks (free download from Homework Records)

Cut to months later and we have a series of tight remixes that push the original track into different genres, getting as far as four to the floor territory thanks to a fruitful collab with the talented ‘Gulla’.

But it’s not just retreads of an old track, there’s some brand new material there too. There’s TKNW, an 80s-style-electro-breaking banger to dance off to, and Jamprime 1, first cut in a series of old school joints all blunted-out, mashed-up classic breakbeats and little else.

And that’s still not it. Taking advantage of Bandcamp’s new ‘bonus items’ feature, i included some nifty extras to sweeten the deal. There’s alternate cover art for some of the tracks, a digital pdf booklet, exclusive desktop wallpapers and an high quality version of the official Luta videoclip. Mind you, a lower quality version of the video will be let loose on the web in the next few days, as soon as we can make vimeo work actually, but for the time being it’s exclusive to the release.

That is all, I think, now click here and go check it out!
