Here's another track by Eindhoven-based hip hop producer Y'Skid. Family Music is a bit jazzier than the previous track we featured by Y'Skid, but has still got a great hip hop groove.
We liked the track so much we used it on the soundtrack to our first Dezeen and MINI World Tour movie from Eindhoven with Miriam van der Lubbe.

Dezeen is in Eindhoven for the penultimate leg of our Dezeen and MINI World Tour, so we thought we should seek out some musical talent based in the city.
Y'Skid is a local producer who has created some great jazz-infused hip hop tracks. This instrumental called Doubtful has quite a different vibe, but we love its laid-back groove.

Proving that you can remix anything into anything, electronic group Strong Asian Mothers have created a trap-inspired version of a track by London guitar band Francobollo. It's quite a radical departure from the grungy guitar riffs of the original record, which you can check out here.

When we first launched Dezeen Music Project last year, Kid Circus was responsible for one of our favourite tracks - the crazy-but-funky Sweet Cow (remix). So were delighted when we saw he had some new music.
This time he's teamed up with rapper Substantial to produce some seriously funky hip hop, like this track Can't Win For Losin'.
