beatz in a box

so plan b recently ploughed out a lovely cover of tinie tempah's pass out. dope.

to all those who don't see musical complexity in electronic music....

look at how many layers it takes to recreate it acoustically. 

we got a little reggae vibe, a mad faith sfx grime beat, some sassy backup singers and a drummer puttin in work. for me the highlight of his performances are always...

FAITH SFX

... his mad beat boxer who's simply the bee's knees.

saw them perform in newcastle earlier this year, and of course they played this cover right after tinie had performed--i dare say they schooled him.

and i scratched FAITH SFX's belly when he crowd surfed. 
tee hee.

while we're here beat boxing, i should probably bring up devlin's acoustic sessions with ed sheeran. this one's even got wretch 32.


i've long since been in love with wretch 32's british/dancehall/grime swag... 
just love his tone of voice.

at the end of the day, beat boxing is the acoustic drum machine. 
acoustictronica? i'm down.

and just to top things off with a beautiful piece of man, Frankmusik's hidden skills always astound me. Sometimes his music is almost too poppy, sometimes the videos to his most beautiful songs are uncomfortably perverted, and mostly he'll just break your heart.

on that note, happy christmas little animals.

if you forget how to celebrate or the scroll function on your computer is fried, i'll direct you towards a big festive pickled christmas.
