Just a lil heads up on a couple of gigs goin down this weekend. Tourettes has got his release party at Mighty Mighty tomorrow night and is also doin a spoken word set down Happy on saturday with Tom from Homebrew (check the Homebrew post from a while back if you haven't already). Also Harbour City have got their release party on saturday down at Hope Bros with the brother Skylab up in the mix.
Something Mr Tones put me on to during this mornings coffee session.
Some ol school L.A boom bap. Kinda like a West Coast Run DMC meets Miami bass
Something deep and slow to roll out the week. I like this dark vibe of shackletons and his rhythms is killer. plus skull disco art work is dope. Anyways...
Getting ya saturday started with some bounce from DJ Quik.
Some local releases that I been waiting for aaaaaages to drop! Electric Wire Hustle is a Wellington three piece future soul/hip hop/fresh to def group who have been bringing the fire for while now. Featuring Mara TK on vocals, TaayNinh on Keys (aka Dave Wright) and Drum Maestro Myele Manzanza (with Benny Tones on sound duties). Anyways this release features "Perception" and "Longtime" which you can check on their myspace.
Seeing as it's International Record Store day today I thought I would post a few records to keep an eye out for. The first is El Michels Enter The 37th Chamber which is an instrumental album of Wu cuts (having already released a couple 7's of bring the rukus and dual of the iron mic).
Bangin track I came across on the redbullmusic academy website. The tune features Cohen, Cuthead & Dorian Concept on the beat with Fatima laying down the vocals. Definately one to watch out for
Berlin based producer fLako from Up My Alley gives us this free super tight beat tape . Check: The First Space Shit On The Moon
Some Grace Jones to keep ya struttin through the long weekend. Her music, style, videos and artwork are all dope, shes kind of freaky but i guess thats half the fun. Oh and it doesn't hurt to have Sly and Robbie on ya rhythm section either
Sup people, as you may have seen in the c-box got the word up from haz beats, so thought I'd post up this EP. Had a listen and i'm diggin it, good to see some mad local talent bringing the fresh rhymes and beats. Churrr for the heads up!
I came across Black Monk from the Day & Night EP he did with Ras G. Anyways I like the vibes this man gives off, dope vocal samples on his beats aswell.
Kicking off the weekend with some punk. New York hardcore in full effect. BOW!
