Except they're not.
These beat tapes are smooth, fresh and well thought out sonic explorations, taking deep cuts from both artists to make something both new and relevant. Dert doesn't just go for the easy samples (I was huge into Floyd and I can't recognize half of these drops), nor does he phone in lukewarm beats to appeal to the average joe-shmo freestyler. Instead he creates warmth and atmosphere, channeling both the claustrophobic haze of Flying Lotus and the chop skills of early DJ Shadow. I can only hope this guy comes out with something completely original soon so he can get the props he deserves.
