From DAY TRIPPER, the label that delivered high-quality beats to NEWTONE with its mfp release, comes MAGICAL MISTAKES, the solo project of Miyazaki-based ERIK LUEBS. As you might guess from his inviting Yoshitake EXPE over to the States in 2010, he skillfully weaves in live instrumentation for a sound distinct from mfp's, crafting his own brand of alternative hip-hop: vividly colorful and finely detailed, yet nostalgic and flowing. His high-caliber beat sense resonates with the LA crowd around BRAINFEEDER and LOW END THEORY, and it's well worth your attention. Mastering is handled by MATHEW DAVID (BRAINFEEDER), and the release comes with a bonus 4-track CDR featuring remixes from four artists, MATHEW DAVID included.
