Groundislava - Book Of Tech
Ok, for anybody who has checked out the blog recently hoping to grab some more free shit I'd like to say I'm sorry for not updating one little bit of this blog at all.
Now follows a small list of excuses:
Now follows a small list of excuses:
1. Internet connection problems
2. Lack of free shit
3. Ultra busy schedule
4. Lazy ass (in between ultra business)
This could even be the only post I make in April, depending on whether I get my new connection sorted at home or not. I am doing this blog single handedly, if anybody wants to help, please feel free, let me know.

So without further ado let's download this FREE glitchy 8-bit EP from Groundislava (what a great name). Some killer tracks, and although you might be getting sick of this 8-bit wonky glitch fest, this is really worth checking out. As Borat would say, "It's niiiice."
Check out Groundislava on Soundcloud.

heRobust - Albumin (2 Free Tracks)
Two free tracks above from heRobust's album "Albumin", I did have the whole thing up for free before I realised heRobust had meant it to be a for a limited time only. So here's the two free tracks. "Grief Case" is the first track from the album, a smooth head-jerker of a beat. Whilst "Shawty Swing My Way (Busted)" is a slick remix of KP & Envy which works really well.
Check 'em out, and check out heRobust on Soundcloud whilst you're at it.
Peace out.

Jamie Woon - Lady Luck (Royce Wood Junior Remix)
Lady Luck is the new single out from Jamie Woon, South London vocalist (see his Myspace) who has collaborated with some of the masters of the industry including one of idols Burial, coincidently this download is reminiscent of a Burial production in parts. Here is a nice remix up for grabs by Royce Wood Junior who you can also check out on Soundcloud.

Dpeee - The Zodiac : Cosmic Sounds
Sorry to have been absent for a while people. I'm thinking I won't put up many posts in March, I'll be gathering my ammo, and tending to my life from month to month (which is quite important) so don't be surprised if the rate of my posts severely fluctuates during the course of the year. And speaking of space and time...
Cosmic Sounds is a lush broken hip-hop medley with a celestial star sign theme running throughout. You guessed it, there's twelve tracks on the album and they are each assigned to a symbol of the zodiac. Based on and heavily sampled from the 1967 psychedelic rock album with the same title, released on Elektra Records, Dpeee makes great use of the eerie vocal samples and other mystical sounds heard on the original. So sit back, relax and absorb the sounds of the multi-verse.
Enjoy.

Not heard of Jeeks before, just found him by chance whilst surfing upon the internet waves and can't dig up anything else. This album consists of five hot synth disco boogie joints. Way funky.

Pixelord - Lucid Freaks Pt. 2
(192kbps only)
This is Pixelord's Lucid Freaks part two, the remixes. The album has eleven tracks, all remixes of the original four from Lucid Freaks part one. Its definitely decent, wonky, glitched up stuff and gets better towards the end in my opinion but the whole thing is of a good enough standard for me, or I wouldn't be puttin' it up here, would I?
With remixes from Russian producers DZA, Demokracy, OL and Miracle Labido. Hailing from the US, AshTreJenkins and Chocolate Girl. From the Netherlands, Coco Bryce and Jameszoo and finally Austria based producer Abby Lee Tee also drops a mix.
These Lucid Freaks albums (Pt. 1 & 2) are free at 192kbps, so if you want them in all their full 320kbps glory then you will be asked to shell out some cash if you don't mind.
They are available at Error Broadcast.

Esque 1983 - Hit That! (Video Game Remixes)
14 sweet tracks worth of hip-hop video game remixes. Need I say more!?
Esque is also with us on Myspace, Soundcloud or Facebook... Well worth checking him out for a shed load of nice beats.
Its late and I seriously can't be bothered to write any more. So then, I will leave you with this rather funky, psychedelic 8bit cat.

Shigeto - What We Held On To EP
Hey there, I'm back again with another FREE album for ya'll. This time its the marvellous work of Shigeto. This EP contains some damn well produced, richly textured, experimental hip-hop. Reminds me of some of the stuff on FlyLo's L.A. EPs from a while back.
The album has been available for free since July last year.
Shigeto has absolutely loads of stuff for you to check out, so if you want, swing by his Soundcloud or perhaps his Myspace, and submerge yourself in sweet sound. He even has a Facebook page crammed full of info.

(192kbps only)
(192kbps only)
Now then, although I did say more Pixelord was to come soon, I would have preferred it a bit sooner. You'll have to excuse the delay, I've just moved into a new room and been shifting a bunch of stuff and building wardrobes etc.
So here it is Pixelord's very fine four track album. Demonstrating more blips, bleeps, beats, bass and SNES style samples. My favourite track on one entitled Quartz Boy, takes you to an ecstasy dream world. Great synth work and amazing, euphoric vocal effects. If the rest of the album isn't to your liking, I guarantee this one will be worth your time. Download the album now with a simple click on the click provided!
...And here is an extra little bonus track, something a bit darker from our friend:

Pixelord, hailing from Moscow Russia, brings to you a variety of bass led beats and glitchy goodness. I've posted here for you two of my favourites. Fish Touch (Tropical VIP) is a 2step, funky, synth mash up, whilst Tron Legacy (Pixelord Remix) is a three minute dubstep take on the Tron theme tune. Can't go wrong really.

Oscillations Part 1 & 2
OSCILLATIONS PART 1
OSCILLATIONS PART 2
Wow, just checkin' out these two sweet albums comprised of various tracks, various genres (mainly dubstep, hip-hop and electronic underground sounds) from various artists. As a result I am impressed, and very relaxed, with a big smile on my face.
This album is brought to you by Jus Like Music. Started as a blog in 2006 (and still going today) they share reviews and info regarding their favoured styles of music: electronica, hip-hop, neo-soul, jazz, dubstep and funk. (hell yeah!) The blog gained popularity and eventually the Jus Like Music record label was born.
The other half of the duo who put these albums together are Apple Juice Break, another blog promoting up and coming artists. Both of these parties are really worth checking out if you are interested in good music.
Have a listen to these two FREE albums right here and see what ya think. Both download links posted are above for your button-clicking convenience.
You can also check out the Jus Like Music Records website, which has links to all their respective pages for you to explore.
Peace out!

Quarta330 - MO'ZX EP
Yeah, this is Quarta330's sick free two track EP, it has been available to download for a long long time on Japanese label Maltine Records (which has a bunch of other free releases) its a goodie so I thought I'd whack it up here. ASUTATA50 is a deep baseline dubstep track which, for some reason reminds me of an episode of Star Trek. The other track, Ahirskew was once described to me by a friend as "a gameboy dying". Both really nice and well worth the disc space.
Enjoy!

Mndsgn - StatikMumblin
Check out this collection of "loose joints and refunks" from 2010, including reworks of tracks by Elan, Tokimonsta, Take, Dam-Funk, Quelle and Thom Yorke. I really like the track entitled Potholes, which reminds me of something from the Final Fantasy VII sound track. Some smooth, enjoyable sounds here.
Why not have a look at Mndsgn's Bandcamp or Soundcloud whilst you're at it!?
Peace.

Pogflipper - Anthology (Coco Bryce Remix)
Haven't posted for a little. I think the novelty of blogging might slowly be wearing off. That and the fact that I've had a CRAZY couple of days, but that won't stop me from sharing the musical joy!
Like this little remix right here from Coco Bryce, featuring dreamy keys and a deep squelchy bass line. Enjoy!

prof.logik - Space Debris
Incoming transmission... Stand by.
Space Debris is entering our atmosphere!
This is the first free release from prof.logik (check out his Soundcloud). I didn't post them in chronological order, I was just too excited about Audible Palindrome, I couldn't help myself.
So, this six track album is more skweee-ish style hip-hop beats, some of it is kinda reminiscent of Samiyam's Rap Beats Vol. 1, only it has a space adventure theme! What could be better? Brilliant.
Prepare yourself for an interstellar flight to another galaxy.
...Over and out.
prof.logik - Audible Palindrome
So, I'm just kicking back listening to Flying Lotus sitting in for Benji B on Radio 1 right now. Sweet!
But before that I was listening to THIS... and daaaaamn, what an album! My favourite track is a little gem called BiT bY bIt. Really feeling that 8bit funk at the moment.
What are you waiting for? Download the whole album for free! Let me know what your favourite track is...
Peace!
Dpeee - Ocean
What can I say!?
I don't know much about Mr. Dpeee, he has had this one tune on his Soundcloud for a while and it is dope! Click the link above for FREE download and rinse your ears out with this filthy broken beat.

Dark0 - Serotonin EP
Dark0 has come out with some pretty sick music of late. Two releases spring to mind; If Only, which is out now on NE Records and HYLI, amazingly still unsigned!
The Serotonin EP has been available to download since October 2010 from Dark0's Bandcamp. The album is mainly atmospheric future garage or dubstep, while some tracks adopt a more uplifting, minimal feel.
Exquisite stuff! ...and its all free for you lovely people here taking heed to the Troubled Hermit.
Don't forget to visit Dark0's Myspace and Soundcloud.
Ciao!
devonwho - 3P
devonwho (no capital D here please) produces some real innovative, experimental, wonky hip-hop. This 3 track release from back in 2009 is the only free material I can find from this guy. But damn, just the first track 'glow' alone is a good enough reason to click on the link above. Try it. It might change your life for the better.
Also check out devonwho on Soundcloud and Bandcamp.
Peace.

eLan - Magnificent Mistakes EP
So here we have eLan's 2009 beat compilation. I know its old, but its still great, wonky, triptastic hip-hop. Hence my posting. I want to have all the free beats and albums in one place for convenience sake. I hope you guys benefit from it too!
Peace.
Peace.
Echodub Label & Collective
This is really worth a look!
The Echodub label and collective, run by DFRNT, an independant producer, DJ and web designer hailing from Scotland. He has a great selection of free albums on his website. Focusing on the ambient, electronica side of dubstep, the artists on Echodub present clean, consistent, high quality sound.
Try Anechoic Chamber, Echodub Loves Vol. 1 & 2, and Anechoic Chamber Remixed.
Nice.
eLan - famLay
Are you ready for something special? I hope you are.
Check out this 2010 beat tape from eLan, who's squelchy, glitchy brand of hip-hop is definitely soul food. So from eLan to you, via me, here is famLay, a nice example of what eLan and friends can achieve when they got the itch to make some of that funky glitch. Oh yes, and its free. Of course.
Take a peek at eLan's Soundcloud and Myspace.

The First Post
This is my new blog, I have never blogged before. In fact, once upon a time I enjoyed expressing myself through writing. When I was young, I loved reading books and writing fantasy stories. Unfortunately the education system has knocked a lot of the passion out of it for me.
More recently I have been thinking about writing some kind of autobiography, but my girlfriend gave me the idea of writing a blog. I think this is a better way of getting my thoughts and ideas out there, whilst at the same time telling my story.
So, that will be my first post, an introduction to The Troubled Hermit.
To give you some idea of who I am, I'll give you the basics:
I am 24 years old. I am white British, I was born in, and have lived in London UK all my life. So I consider myself a Londoner, which is cool because I have all the cultural experiences of growing up in South East London.
My parents are both teachers by profession, so naturally I am quite intellectual. I also come from a pretty creative background. I love music, dance, art, film, video games.
So I'll leave it there for now, but I hope to fill this blog with STUFF, lots of stuff.
Good stuff, especially music. Soon.
Peace.
