I’ve had lots of love for sampling of Hip-Hop and soul lately; producers like Star Slinger and Abel Mariam have had me stuck on an addictive repeat. Through browsing this developing Soultronic-type of subgenre, I stumbled upon synthhead Ryan Stewart from Springfield, Ohio who puts his soulful mixes behind the name of StewRat. Though some of Ryan’s tracks can be filed as instrumental, a majority of them excel the role of combining Hip-Hop or R&B with electronic music by letting out sporadic breathes of vocals from artists such as Waka Flocka Flame and J Dilla. This soulful vocal rhythm thrown in a sexy electronic atmosphere puts you in a state of relaxation where you’re inclined to lounge back and let the beats take control. Enjoy his streamed tracks below and browse on over to Bandcamp for his entire discography.
