Shag presents Flyrule: a Terrible Fate [Beat Tape]

From Shag:

I remember when I got Majora's Mask. I was 9 years old, and it was a Christmas present from my (fucking awesome) parents. I was so upset because every Christmas, we would open presents and then leave straight to my Grandma's house (3 hours away), and I wouldn't get to play with my gifts for about a week. The entire time we were with my family I just wanted to go home and play the new Zelda. When I finally got a chance I was a little surprised.

Majora's Mask was so different than OoT to the then young me. At the time, I was a little too young to understand the darker atmosphere and the heartbreaking themes that ran rampant in that game. As I grew older and got a chance to immerse myself in Termina once again, I played through the game with a much more solid grasp of what was going on, and in many ways, Majora's Mask replaced Ocarina of Time as my favorite Zelda.

This runs parallel to my hobby of producing in a generously abstracted way. I visited Ocarina of Time in my earlier days of producing... and while my effort (Flyrule) made a lasting impact on it's listeners, I felt as if I had come a long way since then. It was time for me to offer up something new; something that, though a bit darker and refined in style, better represented me as an artist and person.

Here's my take on some of the classic tracks from Majora's Mask. Enjoy it, share it with your friends, buy it from me, listen to it while you re-visit Majora's Mask, I don't know.

Blue Sky Black Death: Euphoric [Beat Tape]

We did not really appreciate the brilliance of Blue Sky Black Death until recently when we gave The Evil Genius with Jean Grae a close listen. Euphoric (which is just that) twists trance with trap and wastes no time, opening with seductive standout Gimme.

Chase Moore: Shaken Not Stirred [Beat Tape]

Chase Moore has crafted some very clever cuts for a number of California artists, in addition to producing for Raekwon and Slug among others. However, for all that he has contributed on a mainstream level, it is projects such as this 007-inspired beat tape that truly translate his talent - and not because Bond-based tapes are necessarily new, but because he embellishes them in a way that improve upon the originals (a rare talent these days).

Miss Special presents Make You Feel [Beat Tape]

Miss Special had one hell of a year in 2012 - sitting down for intimate interviews with Jansport J, Maticulous, Rufio and many more music makers. To celebrate the 4th Anniversary of her Sunday show, she is offering several Special beats from those she has worked with for the low price of free.

Ackryte: Lifted Transmissions [Beat Tape]

If there were ever a GTA: Twin Cities (or Lake Cities or something similar), this would be its soundtrack. Its tranquil tempos and soft synths leave the listener lulled yet Lifted.
