One of the things that first drew me into the world of Mp3 blogging, along with the egotistical desire to inflict my listening tastes on the internet, was the chance it gave to promote lesser known artists. Blogging allows you to drop music that wouldn't normally be heard so we at Ear Fuzz are always interested in promoting music made by up and coming artists.

Therefore today we have sounds coming to you from Austria via fellow Myspace addicts and Beattown Records label owners Trishes & Whizz Vienna. Instrumental hip hop of high quality the two tracks come from their latest release Fly Beattown!. Half produced by Trishes and half by Whizz Vienna the album illustrates the duo's love of all things hip hop and a diverse selection of styles and sounds.

Ill Brazil by Trishes is like some evil twin of Mr Scruff's classic track Ug - with a rolling, squelching, farting, funky bassline and ominous strings accompanying the stripped down beats. Has a nice pitch shift halfway through as well. I've yet to try it but I reckon this track would go down a storm played loud and heavy.

Slide Into Confusion by Whizz Vienna is on the more downtempo tip with meaty beats, violins, and a cheeky little music box sample accompanying the quality scratching of DJ Emodee who laces vocal and instrumental cuts over the track with considerable skill.
