Village Live Records Unveils First Release of 2018: KLIM Beats' Natural On "Cherry Red" Vinyl, Black Vinyl & Cassette (Hans Scratch Promo Mix)
Last year, UK-based Hip-Hop label Village Live Records released a string of critically-acclaimed and incredibly well-received albums and projects from the likes of Gas-Lab, Kuartz, Remulak AKA co-owner Doug Barclay, AVER's phenomenal DIE BERLIN DATEIEN, Benaddict, Slim & Ella Mae, Ded Tebiase, Funkonami, and Chrome & Donnie Propa's DIRTY ROTTEN MIXTAPE in tribute to Jeru The Damja. Now, Village Live has unveiled their first release of 2018: Ukrainian beat-maker KLIM Beats' Natural; a full-length Instrumental Hip-Hop LP, pressed on "Cherry Red" vinyl, standard Black vinyl, cassette tape, and before long, digital download. Village Live quickly sold out of 125 "Cherry Red" Natural 12-inches with Japanese-reminiscent Red OBI strips, mere hours after KLIM Beats' record first went on sale this past Monday night at 7:00pm sharp (UK time.) Now, 225 Black Natural LP's with Black OBI strips and clear cassette tapes are currently still available from Village Live Record's on-site store. However, little else is known about Dmitry "KLIM Beats" Klimchuck—even, by his new-found label, Village Live Records—aside from the fact that he's an extremely talented Ukrainian Hip-Hop producer and a "big record-digger and that all tracks were made using the Akai [MPC]2000XL, Akai [MPC]1000, and [Roland] SP-404" beat machines. While Natural is currently still unavailable in digital formats, Village Live has uploaded two unique samplings of KLIM Beats' record, for anyone who might be interested in purchasing: "Natural (Promo Mix By Hans Scratch)" showcasing nearly 14 minutes-worth of mixed selections from throughout Natural and "The Other Side of Midnight," an exclusive track lifted off KLIM Beats' latest long-player. As previously stated, KLIM Beats' Natural is now available on limited edition vinyl with tip-on Black OBI strip, as well as see-through cassette tape from Village Live Records.
