Ambient Hip Hop Subscription

Fusing hip-hop rhythms with ambient production sensibilities, this 770MB pack on the subscriptionbased Noiiz label fulfils its remit to a tee, taking in wilfully wonky drums, brooding basses, experimental guitars, plinky melodics, chitinous percussion and more. We’re perplexed by the ‘Endless Drones’, though, which average about 15 seconds long and don’t loop anywhere near seamlessly. That aside, Ambient Hip Hop is a treasure trove of off-kilter beats, unusual textures and ear-tickling sounds – one of the more interesting libraries we’ve heard recently. www.noiiz.com
