Pogflipper - Anthology (Coco Bryce Remix)

FREE DOWNLOAD

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!

Visit Pogflipper and Coco Bryce's Sounclouds for more good music.

prof.logik - Space Debris

FREE DOWNLOAD

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.

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...

And if you have a second or two to spare, check out prof.logik's Soundcloud and Myspace.

Peace!

Dark0 - Serotonin EP

FREE DOWNLOAD

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

FREE DOWNLOAD

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.

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.
