Afro Monk

This officially makes the 200th post for AfroMonk.com! I can’t believe it. It seems like it wasn’t long ago that I started this site.

I want to thank everyone who has ever been to my site and checked out any post. I want to give a MAJOR THANK YOU to all the producers out there that have actually answered my messages and e-mails. All of the people who send me their unreleased music and keep me up to date with all the latest tracks. If it wasn’t for you guys there wouldn’t be anything to write about. Keep doing what you love and making that sweet music.

It has been less than a year that Afromonk.com has gone live and it’s become one of the best projects I’ve ever done. I’m glad to have PBJ on board and have him part of the team. I plan to expand this site more in the near future and do a complete re-design. The next major project I’ll be embarking on is becoming a producer and starting a label. Lots of big news will come out of this week-end in Vegas.

I want to make a list of all the people who have helped me with this site. The ones who I love to help out and share their music with you. They’ve done nothing but hooked it up and be a friend and not just some other person online.

No particular order but this post is for you guys that I’ve met online!

Sugarpill, Shilo, Ben Samples, HipGnosis, Mochipet, Protohype, Mussck, Will Marshall, Great Scott, Richard Sweat, Lost in Bass, Freddy Todd, Pressha, Plus2, Willy Whompa, Stephan Jacobs, Kraddy, and all the others I’ve forgotten! Thank you!

You’ve all been a huge inspiration!

Ben Samples is back again with a new release. This time it’s packed with 4 glitch hop club bangers. The first track Boss absolutely slays crowds. I’ll never forget how it went off when I dropped it at Get Low in Miami when I played it. The other tracks are serious pieces of work and also includes Nano Puppy the collab track with Stephan Jacobs.

Who know what we’ll hear from Samples next. He’s taken the glitch hop scene by storm and has an arsenal of new tracks ready to drop. One thing is for sure whatever this man touches you’ll hear some serious crunk bass to come along with it.

Much respect to my home Samples.
Looking forward to playing along side with him in NY in August!
