All of the fuzzoscope related releases (Zoomo, ΔKTR, Beautiful Disco, the Earwax comp) are my favorites from this bunch. It's almost 2018, I'm almost 36, and it's safe to say I'll never tire of lofi, beat-up cassette, dusty boom-bap beats. This thread is for 2017 releases but after discovering this label I've been making my way backwards through their 2016 releases.
Foisey and wowflower fill that void Knxwledge has left for me since he's been focusing more on NxWorries and the remix/blend tape stuff and hasn't had as much true beat tape/instrumental releases lately. A lot of their stuff sounds real close to KNX beats imo (right down to the same little vocal drops.....they're all big fans of AZ apparently), but I really don't mind it as it means more dope beats for me.

I slept hard on this I think because of the description ("These were just tracks I made in San Francisco, and transitioning to LA life. Bits & pieces that never turned into full songs"). I think I might like this more than his "proper" releases. 42 tracks is a lot, but most are short and to the point and I like how most of them run right into the next (no transitions or fade out/in to next song).
Was reading a review of devonwho's "betaloops" and they mentioned this album favorably. Dope! If you like devonwho type beats (analogue synths, fat baselines, lofi, etc.) then this is right up that alley.
9th Wonder - Zion II I'm not usually a fan of beat tape/instrumental releases from producers/beat cats who typically make tracks with the (to me, at least) intent of having someone rap or sing on them. They tend to let the tracks ride too long when there usually isn't enough going on in the track to justify a 3 minute or more run time. I have some of those same mild complaints for Zion II BUT the one place this album is working for me is right here at work haha. It's 40-something tracks coming close to an hour and 45 minutes long. Would be tight if there was a shorter mix of this release where each beat rides for about a minute or so and then hops to the next, but 9th did his thing on this.
