About uMaNg & B.B.Z Darney 'Monu-mEnTaL'
The long awaited follow-up by uMaNg & B.B.Z Darney to their critically acclaimed 2014 label debut, The Black Rose Certificate, is finally here!
This album is the undoing of the mind, the breaking down to be built-up again from scratch. It's said thoughts can become a very dangerous thing if left unguided, often leading us into a seemingly inescapable void, crippling the mind in the process. It takes deliberate, purposeful shifting through dedication and effort to rehabilitate back to form.
This album is also a celebration of defying the odds, reaffirming one's identity through thought, action, and music as uMaNg conceptually & lyrcially goes IN as never before over B.B.Z Darney's lush, melodic, hot & cold, string-driven production.
The listening of this album is not only for the enjoyment of hip-hop, reminiscent of its golden age. But, also partaking in the experience of these respective artists audibly triumphing over obstacles, hurdles, and roadblocks that may attempt to derail them from their creative path. Thus, marking such an occasion as being something that can only be truly described as "Monu-mEnTaL"

Meanest Man Contest - Contaminated Dance Step
Mad Good Records is proud to reissue Contaminated Dance Step, the 2002 debut EP from Meanest Man Contest (Erik Solo and Quarterbar), newly remastered and available for the first time on cassette.
Originally released as a 7-inch on Erik Solo’s vinyl-centric Weapon-Shaped label, this collage-like hip-hop record laid the foundation for the Oakland duo’s experimental sound, which evolved through full-length albums Merit (Plug Research, 2002) and Everything Worth Mentioning (Gold Robot, 2013), along with a steady stream of EPs, singles, and remixes throughout the 2000s and 2010s.
Contaminated Dance Step captures MMC’s raw, inventive energy, merging abstract, sample-heavy beats with biting lyrics that critique capitalism and dissect fractured relationships.
Mad Good’s cassette reissue features remastered versions of all four original tracks — Parts 1 and 2 of both “Contaminated Dance Step” and “Feelin’ Pretty Psyched (About Love)” — plus three bonus songs from rare vinyl releases and compilations: “Sexy Rap Proposition,” “E.W.M.,” and “The Sour Gourmet.” Instrumental versions of each track round out the release.

Urbs & Cutex "On Our Way
Urbs & Cutex "On Our Way"
DO call it a comeback! After no less than 22 years Vienna’s veteran beat maestros Urbs & Cutex release their third album "On Our Way". Full of laid-back vibes and dope beats this surprising release finds them in fine form, staying true to their trademark sound while subtly expanding and evolving to create a unique blend of HipHop and Downtempo.
Urbs & Cutex are a duo from Vienna specialising in laid-back instrumental music that combines classic East Coast Hip Hop with elements of Triphop and Downtempo. Both started out as DJs in the early 90s making their first steps in production separately before connecting to form what is considered one of the defining groups out of Vienna’s rich electronic scene of the period. The two albums released in the early 2000s are being rediscovered by new generations of listeners and have accumulated millions of plays on various streaming platforms. After a hiatus of 22 years, several solo albums and dozens of singles, remixes and collaborations they join forces again to find their mojo still fully intact, continuing exactly where they had stopped two decades earlier.
With charming stubbornness they create music that will sound retro to some and timeless to others. "We search for everlasting truths" they calmly state. The album begins with the familiar style of their 2003 album "Peace Talks!", combining soulful and jazzy loops with dope Hip Hop beats, even surprising us with what is the first rap part on any of their albums courtesy of New York’s T.R.A.C. (of Visioneers fame). A few songs in the style evolves into something new and entirely unique, as they use elaborate arrangements and artful layering of samples to create songs that go beyond mere loops prevalent in Hip Hop.
Over the duration of 14 tracks Urbs & Cutex expertly balance uplifting moments with deep and hypnotic sequences. They create a laid-back atmosphere but manage to avoid the dullness of chillout music and the stale uniformity of modern Lo-fi and Boom Bap
