Compiled "On Display" mixtape produced by Erik L! (Free Dowload)

"Erik L - On Display (Mixed By Devastate)
You might have heard Erik L's (Erik Lidén) melodic music played by tastemaking radio DJ's like Gilles Peterson and Benji B, both from BBC Radio. Erik L also worked with artists such as Frank n Dank, Kissey Asplund, Dynamite MC and Hezekiah to name a few, creating a buzz in the underground scene and on sites like 2dopeboyz and Okayplayer etc. His song Soul Symphony was ranked as one of the best beats of 2009 by Benji B of BBC Radio, who have been playing Erik's stuff frequently in his shows. On Display is mixed by Devastate, a talented Swedish DJ that released his debut album on the legendary English label BBE Records. This mix features a selection of hip hop and soul productions made by Erik L in the past few years along with some new and previously unreleased material. Lately he has been focusing on getting a new album ready with his group Favorite Flava that also consists of Stray (Mattias Axelsson) and
Paul Mac Innes. Favorite Flava released their critically acclaimed debut album ”Different Phase” in 2009 on Ubeat Records. The music is a perfect blend of soul, RnB, pop and jazz with an approach to melodies that is unusual in the music busines these days. Release date December 17, 2010 on Soularp Records.

Supersci releases free digital EP December 23rd: What It Is EP

To relieve the wait for the album Timelines coming in spring, Supersci give their fans a little extra christmas gift. With the free digital release What It Is EP the Sundsvall hiphop veterans round off the 00's and make a fresh start for 2010.

The EP is released on Flyphonic.com on the 23rd of December and consists of four songs. On the title track What It Is, the production team Flyphonic has crafted a raw sound from their more electronic side of things. Noun and Arka make energetic elaborations on the values of Supersci.

The minimalistic sound of Devastation makes your mind wander to times when the universe only consisted of two turntables and a mic. DJ Devastate from Helsingborg in southern Sweden, known for his release on legendary label BBE, lays the scratches for the chorus.

On the EP there's also a retake of the tragicomical mixtape track Shouldn't Have from earlier this year. Here, Remedeeh joins the autocritique of the band's somtimes somewhat self-destructive lifestyle. Erik L of Flyphonic mixes playful breaks with synthesizer-based 80's-futurism.

The fourth and last song Forests and Factories is a melancholy jazz excursion of the kind that has become Supersci's hallmark. Noun and Arka reflect on life's sometimes slow-moving pace and the low mood they feel in the snow slush, grey streets and dark forests. Arka's mellow production and Erik Ls lingering electric piano finally lead up to a flipped-out spacetrip composed by Bessem Bedziri. A video directed by Måns Berthas, who also made the classic video for Get!, is also in the editing booth.
