It’s not everyday that we get a producer laced, instrumental beat project on 45 delivered to the lab so when we do, we’re quick to drop the needle on the goods to see what it’s hitting for. The latest project of such that reached our post came from the West Coast’s At The Ave Records and shipping worldwide via The Stacks Record Shop.
The new 45, “Foto De Vita” was orchestrated by quickly rising producer and beatmaker, SNDTRAK and is an EP’s worth of instrumental delights. SNDTRAK has most notably been known being a part of 9Th Wonder Soul Council and has recent placements on projects with Rhapsody and Larry June and Jane Hancock and projects released on the Street Corner Music label. Each tracks feels like an exercise and primer to gear the listener up for the main course of sonic sensations with boom bap aesthetics.
For those unfamiliar with At The Ave Records, then do yourself a favor and start to get hipped. The underground is still where it’s at and they’ve been inspired to put their best foot forward the by likes of early Stones Throw and how they worked magic with Madlib to bring something interesting and unique to the music production scene. Follow them closely and see where they lead you in the next few years to come.
