Constant Elevation is loosely positioned as a sequel to 1997's Deep Concentration, a turntablist compilation that featured such well-known names as Prince Paul, Kid Koala, and Cut Chemist demonstrating the state of what was then an art in a period of renaissance.
The hipness quotient of turntablism having peaked, anthologist Joseph Patel is back with a collection of cutting-edge progressive hip-hop, much of it instrumental, some of it showcasing the cutting and scratching talents of a handful of young DJs, but most tracks spending their energy exploring the outer boundaries of the genre in more adventurous ways.
Featuring exclusive tracks from: Chief Xcel, Peanut Butter Wolf & Madlib (Stones Throw), Recloose, El-P, Anti-Pop Consortium, Steinski, Z-Trip, Omid, Nobody, Freestyle Fellowship plus more.
