Apollo Brown: Thirty Eight (180g) Vinyl LP + 7

Get lost in the world of Detroit producer Apollo Brown with his soundtrack - inspired instrumental hip - hop album, Thirty Eight. This is Brown's first instrumental album since 2011's Clouds. Unlike the relaxing Clouds, Thirty Eight takes you to a gloomy, post - Blaxploitation, early 1980s reality. The beats are rough yet perfect, minimalist and repetitive, with less focus on heavy drums. Brown channels early RZA with a touch of Dilla. It's a high - quality limited - edition release from Mello Music Group in 2014, and it comes with a bonus 7'. Reviewed by Kool Moby in 06/2014.

To enjoy this vinyl LP, simply place it on your record player and drop the needle gently on the grooves. Make sure your record player is clean and in good working condition for the best sound. When handling the vinyl, always hold it by the edges to avoid fingerprints and scratches. After use, store it in its sleeve and keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. The bonus 7' can be played in the same way, just adjust your record player settings if needed. If you notice any dust on the vinyl, use a soft record brush to clean it before playing.
