Almost half of the music artists featured on this release are Lowpro Lounge friends and family like J.Tonal, Brizzlescratch, Ghost, edIT, and Parc Ranger. Below are some samples.
4am Contimplation : Ghost (uk) (100MB+) - Ghost is a well known figure on the independent hip-hop scene in the UK. He has taken his time to steadily build his reputation around remixes and his weekly radio show on London's infamous Itch fm. His style of melodic instrumentation sampled from classic funk and jazz, coupled with beats straight off the MPC gives his music a very earthy and syncopated feel. 2003 saw the debut release "Ghost Stories" on Breakin’ Bread Records as well as production for Kashmere on his 2nd release Raw Styles V2.0. Both have been extremely well received, gaining widespread recognition and airplay on a worldwide scale, from the BBC's 1 xtra to San Francisco's KZSU.
Tough Cookie : J.Tonal (40MB) - J. Tonal is a Bay Area producer and Lowpro Lounge co-founder. He started his music career in New York City producing tracks for Sire Records and Columbia NY. After performing and producing shows at such venues as the Nuyorican in NYC, the Middle East in Boston, and the Royal Oak Ballroom in Detroit, J. Tonal moved to San Francisco and continued to perform music and do graphic design for the SF Bay Guardian newspaper. Recently he has played with such notable musicians as DJ Shadow, Tino Corps., and TV Sheriff at the AVIT international VJ conference, as well as headlining shows at the Boom Boom Room, Studio Z, Club Milk, the Rawhide, and many other venues across the Bay Area.
