#3 in the acclaimed and beloved Street Fighter Beat Tape series, Mean Green focuses on our favorite Brazilian Beast Blanka, so expect lots of Bossa samples, some murky amazon deepwater jungle funk, tribal footwork and bouncy Bossa-thon.
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.

Japan’s Made In Glitch label turns to relative newcomer Grillo for its latest release. The Italian producer comes with five tracks of wonky, bleepy, 8-bit mayhem that will appeal equally to fans of dubstep’s purple wing and Brainfeeder’s convoluted hip-hop. One listen to his jumped-up din, and you’ll understand immediately why he chose an artist name that translates as “grasshopper.”
