In Rare Form: Unreleased Instrumentals

RJD2

Seventy minutes of unpolished soul-sampling mastery. Heavy breakbeats and dusty vinyl artifacts create a cinematic, late-night urban atmosphere.

Find on Amazon

It's like a secret tour of the best record store you've never been to, set to a heavy beat.

A gritty, soulful exploration of urban solitude and rhythmic ingenuity.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The aggressive, rhythmic hammering of the drum break on track 2 that feels like a physical pulse.
The way the soul vocal snippet on track 13 stretches and warps into a melancholic melodic lead.
The sudden shift into a space-age synth texture on track 6 that breaks the dusty boom-bap mold.
