LJones - Soul Below

The debut release from Toronto producer LJones has arrived; a lush compilation of his favorite instrumental tracks from late 2009, to early 2011, titled Soul Below. He describes the process of inspiration for the album below:

I got into hip hop young and easily since a lot of my older cousins were teenagers during the 90s. Some even were breakers, turntablists, and taggers. I started out with breaking, but gave that up for a set of turntables. I was always interested in the beat-making process since I’ve been a fan of old records but my interest really grew as I started DJing. I didn’t seriously think of making beats till after I heard Nujabes when I was about 16. Hearing his songs and the very moving melodies with the boom bap drums of the golden era, really inspired me. I worked part-time jobs and bought my own MPC when I was 18 and since then I’ve been trying to make beats and find my ‘sound’.
