Beats from the underground: T. Houze's Midnight Season crafts lounge-inspired interludes with modern hip hop production inspired by evening DC travels, while THE.DOYEN's Vs. experiments with samples and VSTs to create a soundscape of obscure sounds and breaks. Generik*'s 79' Pontiac Grand Prix EP delivers surreal stream-of-consciousness wordplay blending dark humor with philosophical reflection, and Earth to West's Hyena Carpets 7: Self Belief brings wavy alternative hip hop produced while traveling the southern U.S. coast.
