"The Trumpet Man" by Black Buddha is one of the smoothest beats you will hear for a while.

Taking inspiration from the 50's, Leeds-based producer coins his music as "noire hip hop" which I find very fitting as he has successfully emulated this timeless sound. Not an easy thing to achieve.

When I first heard this absolute killer of a tune, I imagined myself listening to this track while wearing sunnies, smoking a cig and strolling down an empty street feeling like the coolest, most slick person on earth, but maybe that's just me! And who knows, if I find the right street, I might just be doing that...
