We’re always up for new music here at Blunt HQ so long as it’s good, and, if it’s put together by one of our own, then we know it’s gonna be good.
So. No problems there, then. Which leads me nicely on to the point of this post.
What I’m talking about is the Focuz series of podcasts, put together by our own Blunt resident beatmeister, Doug. Essentially, Doug has lauched a regular series of podcasts, taking in music from across the board, in his own unique style, reflecting his personal musical influences and taste.
It’s up to episode 3 now, and tracks include exclusive and classic beats, from dubstep, to funk, to hip hop. Essentially, Focuz is a clean and crisp mix of up to date tunes, that, to be honest, will mostly be new to you. That’s no bad thing if you ask me.
The musical outlook for Focuz is certainly global, with content from Europe, the U.S. and beyond.
For someone like myself, who has only just got his head around space invaders, and doesnt know a RAM from a Gigabyte, the other thing this brand has going for it is that the site is real simple, clear, and easy to use. No fannying about with animations, drop down menus, and shit that doesnt load. Just some contemporary graphics (no doubt helped by the fact that Doug is a designer by trade), and straight to the beats, which it is what it is all about. It’s also got a good links section, too, where you can find out more about the artists, music, and labels included in the mixes.
Essentially, this podcast series gives a lot of exposure ot some less well-known aritsts, labels and producers, and is certainly a good baromerter of whats happening in the underground music scene, whatever style you’re into.
But, for all my wise words, the best thing you can do is check it out for yourself. Now that it’s up and running, this is one podcast series that is certainly set to continue. Do yourself a favour, and get in now, on the ground floor. There’s plenty to Focuz on!
