New Harlem Sound ‎– Organik Mechanix EP has some of the most heavenly urban style downtempo jazzy hip hop ever known and heard. You can tell by listening to the production. Here on this EP, the production was all organic and not mass produced by not just only using electronic machines but using live instrumentation also. Everyone can dig that “New Harlem Sound” heard on this EP!

1-2-5 (125th Street) pays an ode and tribe to the Harlem neighborhood and towards New York City jazz. Those xylophone notes are what give this song a definitive nice edge. The song has an old school jazz vibe and fat vibe. Lamont Caldwell plays the swinging rhythmic saxophone. D-Smooth puts a spin on those scratches.

The song Chocolate is known for using such brooding downtempo jazzy upright bass. Similar to what you would hear in bossa nova jazz. Those piano chords are pure perfection. Static coming from the production gives the song an old school edge and vibe. Not to mention old school jazz vibe and edge. You can feel a portion of melancholic lament as the song sound very much similar to a genuine tear-jerker. Chocolate was produced by Arty Davis. D-Smooth puts a spin on those scratches. Chocolate was also used on the compilation Fat Jazzy Grooves Volume 15.

Abstract Condition also uses a filtered riveting flute solo. A flittering saxophone solo is performed throughout the entirety of this song which is what gives this song relaxing celestial jazzy vibe similar to bossa nova jazz. Abstract Condition can be found on the compilation "Loungin' 2: Funky Jazz For The Cool Set".

I rate this EP 5/5*****!!
