The newest and most interesting project yet to emerge from the Botanica Del Jibaro Camp, Beta Bodega’s hip hop offshoot label. Climber comprises 2 producers, Shift and DJ Tosh. Shift (Mind Shift) was a key member in the now disbanded Deaf to the General Public group from Miami. DJ Tosh is Japanese yet grew up in Santiago, Chile and then made his way to the U.S. Besides producing, he is a DJ and an avid vinyl collector and vendor (you might have bought that rare Bossa Nova record from him on E-bay!) Shift returning to Chile met Tosh in school, where their mutual love for records and music, especially hip hop, grew into the foundation of the group today. “Downtown Loop” makes references to the many different downtowns which these 2 have inhabited (Miami, Santiago, Seattle, Yokohama/Tokyo), going back and forth with uptempo and downtempo instrumental pieces. Samples are taken from anything from local Miami musicians to old South American vinyl and molded into lush and soulful compositions. From beginning to end, a gorgeous release for those that truly love instrumental hip hop and just music in general. We even dare say a classic, one of those records that get put on repeat to loop over and over again. Highly recommended, perfect summer music
