There are some albums/projects that randomly pop up in your life that seem to stand the test of time. It may be months or years, but when you rediscover them, it’s almost like the first time you’ve heard it. I’ve never followed any of the other GASOLINE projects. I’ve never had the need. But there was something about this project that seemed perfect to my ears. I didn’t want to break the mythos of GASOLINE that might tarnish how much I loved this album. I’m glad I found it on Youtube, which allow me to bookmark and then stream the entire thing at my leisure. Those who don’t love Boom Bap or Lofi hip-hop need not apply. This is a niche project for a few of us. To the others… enjoy!

GASOLINE Here is a French abstract hip-hop group, a mix of cool scratches, cinematic samples, and heavy beats. Words from our bros from Beatsqueeze on our first album “A Journey into Abstract Hip Hop”: This is one of the most emblematic albums of abstract hip hop made in France, worthy of masterpieces that have made the reputation of this kind of music all over the world, under the influence of its pillars as DJ Krush, DJ Shadow or DJ Vadim. An immersion based on 16 tracks in an experimental hip-hop universe, and imagined as the soundtrack of a trip between Paris and Tokyo, where fat beats and old-school melodies blend into cinematic atmospheres finely built, where thug samples taken from old gangster movies and highly trained scratches are combined with selected featuring… Une real big slap for connaisseurs… Weird Shit You Can
