Played Out Records Presents - Yogi Beats - 'JellyStoned Park'
Played Out Records are proud to present their latest release:
Yogi Beats–Jellystoned Park
Yogi Beats returns to the fore with a brand new collection of beats, shining a spotlight on the broad array of sounds and styles he encompasses within his production.
Jellystoned Park follows on from the success of last year’s innovative visual mixtape collaboration, alongside rapper and fellow Played Out artist, JPDL.
That project gave the world a fine insight into the talent that Yogi possesses, but this latest production showcase is a more definitive exploration of his approach to beat making.
Weighing in at 19 tracks, the album is a sample driven trip through Yogi’s musical universe, where we find the Cheltenham based producer drawing on a wealth of influences to craft each beat. For example, on Who Has The Time?, Yogi flips a Con Funk Shun sample, breathing new life into the 70’s classic and on Got Til It’s Gone, we hear the distinctive tones of Bojack Horseman, blended into crisp drums and wonky keys, while Jonie Mitchell and Q -Tip vocal samples float through the background.
As well as the instrumental joys of Jellystoned Park, there is also a bonus track, which offers a live version of What If?, featuring JPDL and another long term collaborator, Griz-O, plus some exquisite cuts from DJ Slaazninjah.

It all began one snowy December night over a couple of beverages. Bored of the mundane 9-5, a plan was hatched to establish a record label specialising in hiphop that would remove them from the daily grind and into a line of work they really loved.
The idea was simple. Build a fanbase and presence on line through monthly podcasts hosted by themselves. The #PassTheAux show was the first to premier on Played Out Radio and is now into its second year. The show boasts interviews from the likes of Dabbla, Dj Q-bert, Andy Cooper Orafice Vulgartron and DJ Nu-Mark along with exclusive releases plus plenty of banter from the boys.
This platform allowed them to start looking at local artists with the view to putting out their first release on the label. Just one year after the original idea JPDL & Yogi Beats were signed to Played Out Records with their first release.
We are proud to represent and share our journey. For the love of music and Setting new standards and creating viable opportunities for artists.
Jellystoned Park
