Damn was bumping some old tunes from for Throwback Thursday's…playing some ANTICON, don’t know if anyone would know or remember back then, it was the “coolest next big thing for underground hip hop”. Playing “Selling Live Water” album, most slept on album of the early 2000’s.
Anyways this Producer ALIAS made some of the best beats and samples for the entire ANTICON catalogue let alone this album.
Just found out this great, under the radar producer, passed away sometime ago now. Deeply saddens me, definitely contributed to Hip-hop, electronic, bi-bop, funk, shoe gaze, drums machine, sample king world; for music.
If anyone is interested of what ANTICON was back then and particular tracks and samples produced by ALIAS please indulge. (Note: Premium headphones or sound system recommended)
R.I.P ALIAS.
