Crappy Old Remixes by Elaquent

now playing: Notorious B.I.G. - Kick in the Door (Elaquent Remix)

ugh, i cant believe im even posting these. so yeah, i made all of these back in 06 to early 08, which i recently just recovered. these were old myspace joints that i lost when my last computer crashed, little did i know that i backed these up online, and completely forgot. lol. these were my old "boom bap"
joints, back before i stopped quantizing my drums, and back before i started experimenting with my sound. guess its nice to look back to see how far you've come along i guess....a couple of these in my opinion aged nicely...i fucks with the biggie remix and the redman ones especially...some of the other ones are kinda bleh
to me.

Let's allow some self-criticism for the artist and know better ourselves. Ok ok, it's not the best stuff he's released but I'm still happy listening.

Today I bring you Elaquent, Beatmaker x Batman Lover x Kung Fu Movie Expert x Night Owl from Guelph, Ontario. I didn't make that up but it was on his facebook page. The following list of his influences can be found on the same page: J Dilla, Madlib, Flying Lotus, Pete Rock, Moka Only, DJ Premier, Mr. Dibia$e, Afta-1, Benny B Blonco, Onra, devonwho, Samiyam, mndsgn, Sunclef, Miles Davis, Herbie Hancock, Marvin Gaye, Sarah Vaughan, Ella Fitzgerald, Amy Winehouse, Mayer Hawthorne.

He is extremely talented plus a really nice guy, according to his own words. I believe that if his music tells anything about him as a person because we are without a doubt talking about the better kind of instrumental albums.

I'll list his albums with download/purchase links with some words here and there. Most of the stuff is free so you might want to appreciate that and support the artist and buy the few non-free releases.
