Pittsburgh Track Authority

My homeboys Adam Ratana and Preslav Lefterov (you may remember my mentioning them here) and I have been working together on a musical project for the past few months that we call Pittsburgh Track Authority. The first joints from this project will be seeing the light of day very soon through Uzuri Recordings, who have just put them online on their Soundcloud page. You can check them out here:

Massive big ups to my man Nice Rec who is also responsible for the funky A1 cut “Duskshaped”, as well as Lerato for being behind what we’ve been up to. I hope you guys dig it, too. We’re gonna stay hard at work banging out more tracks every day!

    loving these tracks. deep, atmospheric and funky. vertical impact is probably my favourite from a first listen. definitely gonna pick me up a copy.

    ah nice one man, definitely gonna grab me a copy of this as well. Vertical impact’s afro funk feel is excellent.

  3. meschi says:

    shit, I mean bloodlands 🙂

  4. Lerato says:

    so glad this record is coming out. and what’s even better is that there are more awesome PTA tracks on the way!

  6. jitterbug says:

    congrats pittsburgh crew!

    4 tracks of deepness – ‘bloodlands’ is the pick of the bunch for me (tony allen meets basic channel in a nigerian dub lab ?!) … but they’re all good

    as ferguson might say…. SOLID!

  7. gmos says:

    great stuff lads, really looking forward to this

  8. Dean says:

    Bloodlands has been my joint since I got these a while back. Shit goes deeeep. Dusk shaped is dope as hell too. All over this shit boyos…

  9. Dean says:

    Dusk shaped has like an early Metro Area vibe to it for me, it also sounds like something that could have been on the vice city soundtrack!

  10. pipecock says:

    thanks guys, glad you’re all digging it!

  11. scott says:

    all four tracks sound good – nice one Tom (and friends)

  12. welcome to our world… (and yeah, SOLID!)

  13. Hennessy says:

    Sounding great!! Uzuri is releasing great music for the past while…

  14. frank says:

    you know, i’ve been listening to these for several months now, and i have finally come to the conclusion that 77B is indeed my favorite of the four followed ever so closely by bloodlands.

  15. pipecock says:

    I fluctuate on 77B. My favs are Duskshaped and Bloodlands, I like them both equally.

  16. frank says:

    I feel about sirens the same way I feel about crash cymbals. Pretty much all the tracks that use them heavily have already been made that should have.

  17. G says:

    Brilliant. Some of the best stuff I have heard this year!!! Keep up the good work :o)

    Late to the party…”Bloodlands” is bad-ass. Congrats!
