“Fossil Fuel is banger from start to finish, and highly creative. And I generally hate on everything, ask around.”
“Let me introduce you to Kid Hum, a supremely talented producer from Colorado. His latest project is a sample filled instrumental album. You will like what you hear.”
“Fresh off producing the excellent Whygee and Sunkenstate project "Suicide Watch EP", producer Kid Hum (also known as DJ Dylon on Basementalism) goes off on his own with a solo project. Trust me this is something you don't want to pass up.”
“It would be sacreligious to compare Hum to DJ Shadow, but let's just say if you like Shadow's work, there may be a few joints you'll enjoy on Fossil Fuel..”
“I haven't had three tracks get stuck in my head like these three in a long ass time. All three, "Prayer", "Church", and "Bells" have been branded into my subconscious all this past week.”
“I wake up in the middle of the night, "Prayer" will be going off in my head. I wake up in the morning and "Bells" are ringing in my head.”
“At work, I catch myself humming out "Church" and beating out the drum pattern on the desk. Shit is just that catchy. Then you got the creepy vocal sample from Lee Scratch Perry...”
“Kid Hum really created a masterpiece on the whole album.”
"This is possibly one of the dopest intros I have ever heard. If you don't like the intro, you won't like the album. I hardly see that happening though.
“This isn't your ordinary instrumental album, it explores Kid Hum's vivid imagination as a producer and you can let your mind roam through his broad range in production from smooth tracks like "Bass So Lo", to groovy Star Wars-esque parlor tracks like "I Dont Like You Either.”
“All you have to do is hear "Fossil Fuel" to know that this dude is gonna be a force to be reckoned with for years to come. Keep on grinding, Kid! We see you. ”
“Fossil Fuel is a masterfully created instrumental album that is very listenable; in other words it's "not just a bunch of beats..." Check it out for yourself, I recommend this to all those beatnuts out there.”
“With Fossil Fuel, Kid Hum has created an enjoyable instrumental album that will get your head bopping throughout. This is most definitely for those that appreciate music for it’s creativity and innovation. My favorite joint has to be ‘Church’, too fresh for words.”
“Fossil Fuel is the truth. I've actually been rocking to this all week; its a deep instrumental journey, in the vein of a J Dilla or other producers who infuse their personality into their beats - just those off-centre, funky tracks with odd samples that work so well.”
“I’ve known Kid Hum aka DJ Dylon for maybe six years. I remember when he first linked up with Basementalism Radio Show and would come in on some intern shit, write down the playlists of all the songs me & the other DJs played and take the playlist from the DJ studio to the room the hosts recorded i”
“Basementalism had a bunch of different kids (yeah, dude was a definitely a kid when I first met him…LOL) who did this over the years but Kid Hum seemed far more into the records than pretty much any other young cat coming into the station.”
“Over the last few years I’ve watched Kid Hum become a consummate digger and connoisseur of all sorts of random hip hop, breaks & records in general.”
“Overall I though this was a great concept album and I look forward to hearing more from Kid Hum.”
“Instrumental albums aren't really my thing... unless there's something that makes it stick out from the crowd. Kid Hum's upcoming genre bending piece of Hip Hop instrumentalism (phew), does just that. Hip Hop takes many turns on this one & some of the samples tell a story all by themselves.”
“This album sort of reminds you of the great producers work that sadly emerges once they pass on, but thankfully Kid Hum is alive and kickin’ so be sure you support this album. Its an eclectic mix of dope instrumentals and has a hint of hilarity too...”
“Fossil Fuel is slightly reminiscent of J Dilla’s work, so that’s always a plus. Don’t be surprised if this becomes a rare piece that you should have gotten your hands on earlier.”
“Take your chance on this one: an instrumental album from a producer I've never heard of from Arvada, Colorado. His name is Kid Hum and he seems quite talented.”
