I’m listening to a track from this release entitled iHop right now and it makes me feel like i’m driving down the highway at 30mph smoking a blunt throwing mad pancakes at everyone that doesn’t look happy, and when they look at me, i’m like ‘I feel good, what’s your problem’. Matt Shadetek (Dutty Artz / NYC Tropical) has released an amazing instrumental album, this guy here. Works in the club, at a bbq, early Saturday morning jogs to your favorite coffee shop. One hears a wide array of styles with Flowers (Grime, Dubstep, House, UK Funky, Disco, Dembow) and you begin to wonder, is the synth gonna jump out and cut my face? If you don’t buy this then yes, yes the synth will cut your face and the bass will cold jack you!

Here’s a track from the album.
