Cujo-Killahertz Ep(2003)



Oh, The Dirty Drum N Bass How I Love Thee...

Personal Experience:
I've seen Amon Tobin Play live twice and both times I almost went into seizures. I'm not exaggerating, He fucked my head up. There was a point in his set where he played the craziest amens ive ever heard for what seemed to be an eternity. I really almost went over the edge, that guy stretched my head out so far I shouldn't remember it, but I do because it was so traumatizing. It Hurt and I loved It. It was exhausting, agitating and wonderful all at the same time. That guy is a freak behind the decks. So here is a DnB Ep from 2003 that will most likely twist and turn in your head as it did mine...

Cujo-Curfew Ep(1995)

Born in Brazil, Cujo traveled a lot across Europe during his youth. When he was 17 he began experimenting with his own sounds with a sequencer. Aftre two years he spent in Portugal, he settled in Brighton and made a number of recordings for Ninebar Records as Cujo. Then he signed to Ninja Tune Records under his real name: Amon Tobin. His works built the bases of famous Amon Tobin style: a melt of dark drum'n'bass, jazz and films samples with less sophistication.

So this is Cujo/Amon Tobin's first release in 1995. A friend had been telling me about "Cujo" stuff for years before I got a hold of it. Wow. This is his more... Nu-Jazz, Downtempo stylee cuts and there fresh. Yeah buddy.

cLOUDDEAD-Collaged At Mom's 1998-2000


This is the cLOUDDEAD Instrumentals By Odd Nosdam and Why?. Released in 2007 as a Bonus CD with the purchase of "Level Live Wires". This is a gritty boisterous Lo- Fi extravaganza which I really enjoy.

Some Background:
Clouddead (styled as cLOUDDEAD) was a musical group consisting of the experimental hip hop musicians Doseone (Adam Drucker), Why? (Yoni Wolf), and Odd Nosdam (David Madson). Generally Drucker and Wolf provide the group's vocals while Madson produces the music. Occasionally Madson's vocals can be heard, while Drucker and Wolf provide music, especially for the group's only album.

Clouddead's sound is notoriously hard to define, and although it is undoubtedly grounded in "traditional" hip-hop, influences as varied as electronica, psychedelic music and indie rock can be heard. Because of this non-traditional take on hip-hop, Clouddead have been characterized as "smartarse surrealism", with some elements of the rap community rejecting the notion that the group can be classed as hip hop at all, ignoring Doseone's request to "just call it hip hop".

Clouddead's first six 10″ singles were compiled in 2001 as a self-titled compilation album. Printed on the sleeve of "Dead Dogs Two" is "this is cLOUDDEAD number 9 of ten", indicating that as of Ten, Clouddead, as a group, have finished making music. In an interview around Ten's release, Drucker hinted that tensions between Madson and Wolf, as well as each member's heavy workload, had hastened the group's demise.

If you can find these 10" you better cop em. The vocal versions are to date still some of my favorite cuts. Some of the best Experimental Hip Hop to come out of that time. When people were saying hip hop was dead, this was a breath of fresh air. Yes its Hip Hop! Be leeeeeeee Dat.

Dj Nu-Mark & Pomo-Blend Crafters(2004)

This is a nice little instrumental hip hop album from Nu-Mark of Jurassic 5 and Pomo. You know Nu-Mark is gonna pull some heat on the breaks and he doesnt hold back on this one. Just a nice little mix of smooth breaks and samples that dont get overworked and come through nice and easy. Wheel it up Selectah!

Blame One-A Complex Burden(2004)


So these next couple posts are a tribute of sorts to our friend... The Triple OG Rap Don, who's sick with the gift, a pimp with a limp and daddy of the year. North County-San Diego's, Blame One, who has announced his retirement earlier this year.

Well since the homie Blame One announced his retirement this year I have had mixed feelings about the whole situation. On one hand this guy is by far my favorite MC out of San Diego and he is sooooo talented. I would hate to think that "Days Chasing Days" will be his last record. But on the other hand, being a father myself, I understand where he is coming from. He wants to focus his time and energy on his family, which you cant knock him for that. So bottom line, we just have to enjoy the shows we saw and the albums he created that much more. Though it may feel that we are at a loss, we will continue to be blessed by his prescence on the microphone and the wonderful music he created and recorded to date.

So this isn't good-bye or anything like that, just an ode or introduction to a great artist. I know his music will continue to flourish and make a contribution to the hip hop community. Here is a soon to be underground classic by Blame One from 2004 "A Complex Burden".

Let's just cross our fingers and hope this is like a Brett Farve retirement.

The Joe Beats Experiment-Indie Rock Blues(2006)


Me being a fan of anything Joe Beats and having a new found love for Indie Rock, this record is brilliant. Basically a remix album of great Indie songs, well not really. Great songs indeed but Joey Beats really makes these songs his own and freaks em, Hard. A great quality of this project is that it plays out as a mixtape and seems to run seamlessly from track to track for a nice smooth listen. The song selection and drum programing is superb and makes for straight bangerz. Don't sleep...

Beck-Sea Change(2002)


Just listened to Colma, thought of this album. Supposedly written after a break up, this is a definite change of pace for Beck. But what a great record. Modern day blues we'll call it.

Buckethead-Colma(1998)



On Colma, trailblazing guitarist, Buckethead creates a captivating album of instrumental brilliance. With the help of a few friends, notably Bill Laswell and drummer Brain, Buckethead has molded an album mixing emotional depth with innovative technique while exploring new musical avenues. As Gavin puts it, "The music on Colma will have you floating somewhere between the outer limits of the Twilight Zone and the inner realms of the universal subconscious." Colma represents the quieter side of Buckethead's varied repertoire, but proves the man can do it all.

This is one of my favorite Buckethead albums. The tracks on this album are so emotionally strong and cinematic. Colma seems to have a more Hip Hop/Downtempo feel throughout and will leave you lost in your own head. I think of Buckethead as being one of the greatest guitar players from our generation and this is a great piece from his discography.

Credits:
Buckethead - Guitars, Bass.Brain - Drums, Loops
DJ Disc - Appears on "Machete", "Hills Of Eternity" and "Lone Sal Bug"

Cut City-Exit Decades


Cut City from Sweden formed in 2002 around the local Deleted Art label, sort of the swedish counter-part to U.S. art-punk imprints like Three One G and Tapes Records. In May 2005 they issued a 4-song EP on the california-based Gold Standard Labs label. This is their debut full-length, "Exit Decades" and it was released in February 2007 on GSL. There is also vinyl released by Deleted Art.

The opening track "like Ashes Like Millions" is a winner and there is more dark indie pop rock to follow up on this album . This album definitely has a Joy Division feel to it. Other stand out tracks include "Rival Trial" and "Dull Miles(Exit Decades)". I been bumpin it lately so I figured I would share.

The Flaming Lips-At War With The Mystics Instrumentals(2006)

Thats right party people the entire album all music, no words. This Instrumental version really lets The music shine and it does. Just in case your not knowing, The Flaming Lips got beats. Even though I really enjoy the original with vocals there is something about the instrumental version that really tickles me...Dont Sleep

Kid Koala Presents The Slew Live

A couple of years back Eric San (aka Kid Koala) and Dylan J. Frombach (aka Dynomite D) were approached to soundtrack a new documentary feature film that was in production. Koala was already well known for his uncanny turntable manipulation, whilst Dylan had remixed Money Mark and collaborated with the Beastie Boys, amongst others. The duo worked for a long time on the psych rock-influenced score, only for the filming to collapse and any release to be canned. Although the film may never see the light of day, its music is about to be brought to life on stage.

Recently Koala & Dylan met the former rhythm section of Grammy Award-winning Australian rock band Wolfmother and began telling them all about the film and its lost music. Chris Ross and Myles Heskett loved the clips and urged that the material had to be heard; subsequently Kid Koala and the guys decided to put a show on the road.

After intensive rehearsals the show is now ready to go. Featuring drums, bass/keys and the DJs working across a truly excessive six turntables, the set is seventy minutes of raw guitar cuts and heavy beats. We can guarantee that you will never have heard anything quite like this and also that you are unlikely to again.

It's a one-off tour, so when it stops in your town you'll either be there or will have missed it forever. Anyone who has seen previous Kid Koala events will not be disappointed - from Kid Koala's incendiary solo turntable spectaculars to the Nufonia book launch, Deltron 3030 live to the Short Attention Span Theater.Brash, loud and defiantly turned up to eleven. The Slew Tour is coming to your town. Don't miss it.

Hermanos Del Pulpo(Dj Pain & Dj Chaps One)-HDP Mix



Dj Pain:
Chaps and I started a crew back in early 2000 and released some Mixes and were playing 2×4 gig’s across Southern California at that time for many west coast hip hop shows. Opening for underground heavy hitters such as the Shape Shifters, Visionaries, Sage Francis, 2Mex and Busdriver, just to name a few. Our first Mix was in 2003 titled "The Invasion Of The Hermanos Del Pulpo". Since then with families getting larger and life itself moving around, things got busy for both of us. We sat down late last year and decided it’s time we team up again on some Live projects and some Mixes. I was very pleased with this, we always had this chemistry in our Mixes and Live Shows that you just cant get from one person alone on a single set of deck’s, especially @ live shows. Our Crew name is a bit of a story in itself, we are called “Hermanos Del Pulpo” or in english “Brothers Of The Octopus”. Being such an elusive and tactical creature this name seemed fitting to our personalities and our djing style. The concept of the crew and our projects are basically a mixture of heavy music with sci fi moods and dialogue. We carry this as a theme in alot of our projects. Hence, probably you’ll hark back to some of the sci fi themed stuff I do in my own solo projects and why The Day The Earth… Mix had the quirky monster octopus intro…

Well I hope you enjoy the self titled “HDP” Mix. I feel like this Mix has a little something for everyone and there will be alot more projects coming out from the “Hermanos Del Pulpo” as well as my own solo projects… As “Hermanos Del Pulpo” DJ Chaps One and I have already started on two other Mix’s so tuned to http://www.djpain.com/ for the latest updates with myself and HDP.

Mr. Trick:
This mix is wall-to-wall killer, with the kind of excellent narrative themes and sick beats we’ve come to know and love from this skilled Californian. There are also tasty exclusives by way of some new Elektro4 beats and a brand new track from DJ Exile. So, get your download on and enjoy HDP – god knows we are and we’ve had it for some 4 weeks now!

The League-Track Team(2003)

This is the second album from The League formerly The English Leauge (Doc Lewd, Matre, Life Rexall and Jericho J). Being that there first album was a underground classic in my opinion, it was not a far stretch to think that the sophomore album from these Shape Shifter affiliates would be less than spectacular. They did not disappoint. With a big step up in the production and rhymes you can tell each member had refined their skills and brought the heat for these 21 cuts from "The Track Team"...

The English League-Mirror Heroes(1999)

This is the first album from The Engish League aka The Leauge. Comprised of Dr. Lewdachris, Matre, Life Rexall and Jericho J. A true west coast underground classic. Dope beats and hard rhymes from 99'...Enjoy

Aether-Artifacts

As he did on the Wait Til the Ice Melts compilation earlier in 2008, Texas’ Diego “Aether” Chavez exhibits veteran musicianship on Artifacts, regardless of its status as his debut full length. No shortage of ghostly vocal trails or chopped violins laces these bleary, DJ Cam-like trips, and Chavez comes out looking pretty good for a (fairly) new kid.-Remix

I've really been enjoying this album. Super fresh vocal samples, good drum programming, a good mixture of moods. Look out here comes Texas...

MHE-MHE SAMPLER(2009)



These cats are sick with it. One of my favorite releases of 2009 so far. These guys have remained quite the mystery for years. I dont know a whole lot about them except their from San Diego and they make dope beats. What I do know is they like drums and have in my opinion some of the dopest live and programmed drums out right now. They have a very dark minamalist style, they twist alot of knobs and they record very well. This album has some previously released tracks from sound in color comps a rework off there MRR-ADM 10" and some previously unreleased cuts. Cant wait for their new one...
Limited to 600 pressings.Licensed courtesy of Sound In Color.Southern Californian production team Michael Raymond Russell and Adam Douglas Manella (MRR-ADM), formerly known as MHE, have self-released one 10″ EP. In the past, they have collaborated with the likes of Ghostface Killah, Malcolm Catto and Mike Burnham. They are currently working on their debut album for Now-Again. ADM finds time to moonlight as Now-Again’s web-director...

Dj Pain-Road To Oblivion

Lets start things off correct with a soundscape from Dj Pain. This is Definitely My Favorite mix to date from Dj Pain. He always seems to be a couple five years ahead of the curve. So if your looking to catch up in the realm of drum heavy hip hop beats, this is where you would do it. There are classics like Attica Blues and Dj Vadim to newer beatsmiths, such as Elektro4 and MHE. The backbone of dark and ecstatic drum music is entertained by a very thoughtful and cinematic storyline with some pretty serious political overtones. Pain's seemless mixing and rinsing style will leave you scratching your head, pondering if that really just happened. It Did! There is anger, comfort, peace, angst, wreckogning and redemption in these 65 minutes of pure genius. Whether your a dj, producer, emcee, artist or music enthusiast, your going to more than enjoy this mix...
