Well, it certainly has been a while—fuck it, too long—since we last had a Mapzzz EP, but considering what we have here, we think it was damn well worth the wait. Pale Blue Dot is the brainchild of Oakland’s own Adam Myatt, a key affiliate of the Mapzzz crew [...]

The second Mapzzz EP of 2012 comes from bubbling Midwest producer Ra Cailum, who represents his city of St. Louis proper with three absolute heaters for the 18th edition of our ongoing series. Taking cues from from the hyper-fi productions of artists like Kingdom, Brenmar, and the likes, Ra [...]

After a much needed break so as to gather up some more tunes for the months to come, we are officially relaunching the Mapzzz EP Series for 2012 with a special EP from the newly-formed Hoodcats. Comprised of shortcircles (who drops his Plug Research debut next Tuesday) [...]

If you’ve been paying attention, you should already be familiar with the RaveDeep name as we posted a little teaser mp3 from the project a week or so back. Either way, we assure you this is one to get excited about because we’ve gotten a hold of the first three tracks to surface [...]
