One of RVA’s best beat makers dropped a new EP late last month and we are finally getting around to enjoying the shit out of it.

Saxophone riffs, bass lines, clap tracks, and lots of drops wait you across the new Outer Zeal EP by Satellite Syndicate member BSTFRND.

Put on some headphones, spark whatever you partake in, and listen close to some of the finer points on this 15 min release below:

Satellite Syndicate, made up of beat makers like ittasines, BSTFRND, Juxtpse, big wave, ozark., ScoopKid, DøøF, .oldneon, peyotecoyote, James Dangle and more, have been releasing solid tracks on their Bandcamp for some time now – and if you’re lucky enough to catch them solo, or shoulder to shoulder with some of RVA’s biggest hip hop names, then you’re in for a good show.

Check out BSTFRND and friends when they come to the Camel Tuesday, Oct. 13, alongside Ohbliv, Ewonee, NatDigga, and NO SIR E. with Visuals by .oldneon. 8:00 pm, $5. – pick up tickets early here
