Kiefer Shackelford - KIEFER SHACKELFORD

Leaving Records artist and rising sound man Kiefer Shackelford recently took a break from bubbling underground to visit NTS Radio’s L.A. studio. The visit follows the release of his debut Kickinit Alone LP, which dropped in February. The result is a 1-hour set of originals and unreleased work that packs the intoxicating groove and piano chops he has quickly become known for.

Durkin - MURK [Mix]

New England sound man Durkin presents the MURK [Mix] for Beantown outfit Steady Leanin. The trap dominant set is also chopped, screwed and soulful at points. The 1-hour mix features tracks from Mozzy, Lil Pump, Jerry Butler, MNDSGN, Kur, Humble Haitian, PNB Rock, Nebu Kiniza and more. Keep an ear peeled and you’ll notice that Durkin even drops one of his own joints into the mix.

Zed Bias - '80s Street Soul

Zed Bias drops a gem for the boogie funk lovers, jheri curl r&b aficionados and anyone that came of age during the Reagan era with the '80s Street Soul mix.

I've been wanting to release a project for almost 3 years. I spent time crafting each track trying to get that sweet spot of Electronic elements fused with the heavy riddims and bass from Carnival and Dancehall music

Cut Chemist x Edan - A Stable Sound Ep. 12: Sound Of The Funky Drummer

Cut Chemist and Edan pay their respects to Clyde Stubblefield with A Stable Sound Episode 12. The nearly two hour set digs through a bevy of hip-hop gems that sampled the funky drummer, including tracks from Sweet Tee & Jazzy Joyce, RUN-DMC, Poison Ladd Slr and Beats In General.

In honor of his passing, Edan and I play our favorite rap records that sample Clyde Stubblefield's classic beat that changed hip hop forever.
