Score34 - Fresh Kids EP

Review by Anna Karimo

Fresh Kids EP by Score34: A Hidden Gem That Still Bangs Yo, let’s talk about Fresh Kids EP by Score34. This 2014 instrumental hip-hop project from Germany is one of those albums that sneaks up on you. It doesn’t scream for attention, but once it gets under your skin, it stays there—for years. Released via Wax-Fanatics, this little beast clocks in at just eight tracks, but man, does it pack a punch. You can tell everyone involved—designer Zont, editor Quintessenz, mastering guru Andreas Bingel, and producer Score34 himself—was vibing hard when they put this together. The vibe? Think raw beats meets nostalgic loops with a touch of grit. No lyrics to distract you; just pure, unfiltered soundscapes that make your head nod like crazy. Let me break down two tracks that still pop off in my headphones. First up, “12 Bit Regulatorz.” Ohhh wee. This track slaps so hard I almost spilled my coffee writing this. The beat hits you right away—it’s chunky, crunchy, and dripping with old-school charm. Imagine cruising through Berlin late at night, windows down, neon lights flashing past. That’s what this feels like. Every drum hit lands perfect, every loop pulls you deeper into its world. I swear, listening to this feels like being inside an arcade game where everything’s made out of warm analog vibes. It reminds me why I fell in love with hip-hop in the first place: no frills, just straight-up soul-moving music. Then there’s “Timeless Shit,” which lives up to its name big time. This joint is smooth as butter, but don’t mistake smooth for soft—it’s got teeth. The bassline rumbles underneath while these delicate keys float around like clouds. There’s something hypnotic about how all the pieces fit together. Like, you could play this on repeat forever and never get bored. Honestly, it makes me wanna grab a pen and start scribbling rhymes even though I’m trash at rapping. That’s the magic of Score34—he builds instrumentals that inspire without trying too hard. Now, shoutout to JP for cutting the lacquer and making sure these sounds hit clean, because damn, the production quality here is top-notch. And props to Andreas Bingel for mastering—tracks like “Follow Me” and “Instrumental Four” shine bright thanks to his touch. Even the design by Zont gives off that DIY-but-professional aesthetic that screams authenticity. Here’s the thing: Fresh Kids EP isn’t gonna change your life or anything (unless you’re super into lo-fi beats). But sometimes, music doesn’t need to be groundbreaking to matter. Sometimes, it just needs to exist—like a cozy hoodie you throw on when you’re feeling low. That’s what this album is for me. A comfort zone wrapped in wax. Fun fact: I found this record randomly digging online during lockdown, and now it’s basically glued to my turntable. Funny how the best discoveries happen when you least expect ‘em, right? So if you’re into instrumental hip-hop with heart, do yourself a favor and cop this one. Your ears will thank you later. Or maybe not—they might just keep begging for more.
