The new Radel Esca album, Work/Ethic, is available to download now! For free, the whole thing. Take individual songs or the whole thing as a zipfile. This album is a collection of solo and collaborative work from the period 2001-2004. A couple of the tracks received minor recent updates and mastering for this collection, but for the most part, this stuff is straight out of the archives. Featuring several of the songs that were slated for but never released as “Excerpts from Letters that Havent’ Been Sent,” the same sessions that spawed “Echoing Badu.” Additionally, you can hear collaborations and demos featuring DJ Blake9 (Dead Artists, Nine:Fifteen, Acorns), Comel_15 (Time Machine, Nine:Fifteen), and Mad Squirrel (Forest Fires Collective, Acorns).

Also, we’ve found a handful of boxes of the Radel Esca EP, “From Utopianism to Hedonism.” This CDr release from 2001 is available again in our shop, so get your copy before they are gone forever. Mellow, raw, a bit psychedelic, abstract hip hop for your listening enjoyment. Click here to visit the shop.
