Don't believe the title. This isn't "another beat tape".

Singaporean producer FAUXE, best known for his endless ventures into different genres — even noise, at one point — recently dug up recordings of Singaporean tracks from the 60s.

Of course, many of us reignited fascination with our country's past this year, but FAUXE took it one step further, sampling these songs and twisting them in a Dilla-like fashion — dusty, incredibly melodic grooves that quickly penetrate but leaves room for plenty of verses, something which the Mediocre Haircut Crew happily obliges to do.

Titled HUH FUCK ANOTHER BEAT TAPE EP, it was produced and recorded within 24 hours, with only the first takes used from the rappers. He used songs from local acts like The Quests, The Siglap 5 and Western Union Band.

We've talked about Mediocre Haircut Crew's beguiling old-school charm that's incredibly likeable. The samples featured here, along with FAUXE's relatively straight-laced beat treatment, commit to that — resulting in a surprisingly breezy listen. 

Take a gander at the six tracks, along with the original songs sampled. 

P.S. We also highly recommend Beat Konducta in India by Madlib and Beauty and the Beat by Eden if you like what you hear.
