Both tracks are undeniably Buscrates and are sure to have your head bobbing.\n\n\nBuscrates - aka Orlando Marshall - is a DJ, producer, and multi-instrumentalist based in Pittsburgh. He draws influences largely from 90s hip hop and early-mid 80s electronic funk, which is evident in the boomy, swinging drums and bubbly Minimoog bass lines heard throughout some of his productions. He works locally and sometimes internationally either behind a pair of turntables spinning 45s or working his trusty Roland SP-404SX sampler and various other little portable gadgets at one of his beat sets. Some of his production credits include Phonte \u0026amp; Eric Roberson, Wiz Khalifa, and the late great Mac Miller.\n\n\n\"Internal Dialogue\" is out on Bastard Jazz Recordings September 30th.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bastard Jazz","offers":[{"title":"7\"","offer_id":50394711195979,"sku":"2056131","price":11.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/test_159cdc38_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726446472"},{"product_id":"control-center-2","title":"Control Center","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe only track with vocals on Steel City electro-funk wizard Buscrates' second full-length album is \"On My Way,\" where Soraya Watti's smooth and soulful tones prove to be the perfect addition to the Buscrates machine.
