Last week Mr. Armon Bazile dropped his long awaited Aybee debut album. He has been producing and releasing tunes since the early 00’s though, so the time was right to have a look back at the man’s impressive discography so far.

AYBEE @ The People (Oakland) | 2009

Footage of me getting down with the fam at the legendary thePeople party in Oakland. Despite my allergies acting up the vibe was thick. My man Erik Rico blew some wigs with his performance letting people sample some live 25th Century Soul. A Blessing to drop my man Trinidadian Deep‘s “Yoruba Path” joint with him standing next to me in the booth… Love | Respect | Power to Cecil, Cali, Amy, B-Brown, and Hey Love for invite. They left an irreplaceable legacy in Oakland. ~ A

This upstart Oakland, CA-based crew is going to heat up Fall 2008 with this smoking four-track EP. Picture future-funk and dreamy beats that lie between Flying Lotus and Boards of Canada territory. Evocative and supremely bumpin’. – XLR8R
