Bandcamp Friday Spotlight: Jumbled Shares Super Mario-themed Run & B. Dolan Gifts Fisher-Price: Free DJ Mix for Bandcamp Listeners
It's Bandcamp Friday once more and like many of you, we woke up to about a hundred new Bandcamp Release Notification emails this morning. Honestly, there are far to many releases out today (and every Bandcamp Friday, for that matter) to spotlight here. Although, there are definitely ways to find and support music from your favorite underground artists, who will be recieving 100% of their total sales today, on Bandcamp today. We're quickly just gonna spotlight two of our personal favorite releases today, which both just go happen to be beat tapes. Run is a new 12-minute mini-beat tape from Baltimore beat-maker Jumbled.
Jumbled says, "this project is a showcase of new beats loosely tied together with sound clips from videos and songs releated to The Super Mario [Bros.] This project may disappear down a Warp Pipe in the near future..." Jumbled had been noticing a lot of Super Mario references in songs he's heard recently and wanted to tie them together with some of his own new beats. He shout-outs to Swet Shop Boys (Heems/Himanshu & Riz Ahmed,) MF DOOM, salk. and TMFSE as inspirations for thuis very project. Jumbled is currently planning to soon self-release new projects from ORSULAK with Eben Dennis and ALYX Ryon.
B. Dolan shares, "Since building a new studio during The Pandemic, I've been streaming weekly and developing a new workflow that involves two turntables and a Serato set-up. It's been a great way to organize and manipulate samples and I've been re-upping on some DJ skills during streaming time in the process. I used to make weekly playlists over at Spotify, but couldn't justify shilling for that wack-a$$ company. Making these mixes weekly and archiving them for Patreon supporters is the way I now make these little mixtapes. I make NO CLAIM to being a DJ. However, you will hear a broad range of music I've been thinking about lately... some of which may later pop up in new forms."
"It's, also, worth mentioning that Patreon Subscribers got another new track this week, and I'm close to releasing one new song a month there. Lots of bonus content going on, but enough plugs. Enjoy this free download for the next three days. After that, this album will be removed from my Collection!" B.
