We’ve been tracking this one here for a while now, brothers and sisters, but the wait is finally over — our friends over at Ocular Science have officially released the new vinyl edition of s.maharba’s self-titled beat tape.
Originally produced by our fellows at Sassbologna Records, an Iowa-based label specializing in cassette-only releases, the tape quickly sold through it’s initial run, after which it was made available as a free download. Since then, it’s exploded into the international blogosphere, where it continues to generate a ton of positive buzz.
The new pressing features brand new artwork by Maharba himself, silk-screened and hand-stamped by the Oc-Sci staff, as well as four bonus tracks exclusive to the vinyl edition. This is a beautiful package sure to please new and old fans alike, and it’s already sold through two pre-releases, so make sure you get your copy today!
… and keep an eye out for that shirt.

“We’ve been sitting on this track for way, way too long and it’s probably my favorite track I’ve ever been on. Today being my birthday, we decided to go ahead and drop it. Enjoy.”

After the 2008 release of his mind-bending, lucid-dream-inducing EP She, UK producer s.maharba wasted no time in creating a stellar followup — a short-form, self-titled beat tape (yes, tape as in cassette) for our esteemed colleagues at Sassbologna Records. The tape sold quickly through its initial run and went out of print, after which it was made available for free via Bandcamp.
Since then, the record has becoming a startling viral success. Every week, our Google Alerts hip us to new blogs and podcasts from all over the world that sing its praises, including some heavy hitters like INQ and even Steady Bloggin’. All the buzz is great news for S, who will be re-releasing the album in a sexy vinyl package this year, including brand-new silk-screened artwork and a side order of banging bonus tracks. It’s being handled by our good friends at Ocular Science, so we guarantee it’ll be quality.
Stay tuned for more information on the re-release, and check out “When I Go to Sleep” in the meantime — people can’t seem to get enough of this joint.
