"Saturday Night" - Tut-Piece



It's always a welcome break for us when someone submits music that does not suck. Tut-Piece is a young producer from an obscure backwater called "New York City," and this is an instrumental album. This cat has a conceptual vision and it mostly works: a radio broadcast from an alternate universe where the 80's never ended. It was a hella decent soundtrack for a bunch of cleaning and organizing work earlier today. Everything fits, everything works.

The composition here is straight beats, so it does become obvious at many points you're essentially listening to instrumentals that haven't been sold to rappers yet. The structures never deviate much from basic demo packaging, but fuck it; it knocks, too.

If the concept of wall-to-wall synth grooves and gratuitous saxophone samples doesn't turn you off, this is a fucking enjoyable ride. We also salute the no-nonsense album copy -- which is necessary, since rappers are dumb herd animals:

"Terms and conditions of use: Purchasing any digital downloads from Ivy-League Zombie Productions does not give you license or ownership of any intellectual property rights of the content you access. You may not use content by Ivy-League Zombie Productions without permission from its owner."

Fuck yes. Teach 'em.
