Dusted Wax Kingdom is a netlabel based in Bulgaria. I often expolre their website in search of good music and there is always something worth of attention. They are focused on downtempo, trip-hop, instrumental hip-hop and lo-fi grooves and they know what the good sound is.
One of my discoveries from Dusted Wax library is Anitek – american producer from Morristown. This is a track from really good EP “Extralocal” .
This is another great track recorded by regrettable Nujabes. The bright side of instrumental hip-hop force. Lyrical and with no harsh gangsta idiotic gimmicks with it’s belowd piano in the center of the scene. And it ends just as his life. To early and unexpected.
Recently i posted Long Arm’s (in fact Georgy Kotunov) video but I like his works so much that I have to share a little more of his music . Gregory is from Orneburg, which is situated very close to Russian- Kazakhstan border. Now he lives in Moscow and having provincial background he makes great music, which seems to be made somewhere in London or NYC studio. It is a sign of our times, when a man from a place so distant from a centers of musical life of a genres he is involved makes music so deeply immersed in sounds so remote from his origin culture. His albums (“The Branches”, “Organic”) sound extremely western while still having some eastern fantasia, which gives his tunes so great sound. Fantastic samples, loops and much, much more.
Gilles Petterson from BBC Radio 1 chose “The Waterfall Inside Me” by Long Arm the best track of the year 2011. For me it’s not the best last year tune, but it’s deamn good like a rest of his works.
Check this track called “The Branches” (feat. Teknikal Development).
More on Long Arms’s profiles ona Last.fm and Soundcolud.
Great flow here from on a track released on The Strings of Life LP (Label: Dusted Wax Kingdom).
From beloved Jazzmatazz series vol. 2.
This is a very nice tune made by Mikołaj Bugajak – one of the best Polish hip-hop producers better known as Noon. He is an example of a person who realy knows, how to match samples and his own sounds to get great effect in new track. This tune shows that he knows which beat is proper and how to build a proper ambiance in musical productions. Theres nothing spectacular here going on yet everything is just in the right place to tell You a very interesting story.

Quite unusual for Busta Ryhmes, very lyrical tune. Love it for mood, melody in the background and beautiful chours made with a great help from Jamie Foxx, Mary J. Blidge, John Legend and Common.
