mixtape

i've ordered a hercules steel controller, with the intention of starting a clubnight in manc and to try to weedle into djing circuits. this is what the beast looks like..



while thinking about this, n what sort of shit i'd be doing, i prepared a mixtape, but of the un-mixed variety:

Violent/Soulful/Fresh Beats Vol.1 Download Here

maybe vol.2 will have some of my own beats on it, and mixed like a mother on the hercules. sweeeeeet.


Hip Hop + Jazz

in the meenwhile, have a listen to this crazy thing, Antipop Consortium v Mathew Shipp. (i ain't gunna link this album, but i'm gunna help you find it here )



it is pure pudding to show jazz and hip hop, together. obv the two genres are seperate entities in some respects, but the middle ground/cross over zone is rly interesting.

i'll be posting more about this area. stuff about Ras G, Sex Mob, Gang Starr and about the general movement in the late 80's which led to hip hop as we know it.

(did you know; miles davis was one of the first people to have scracthing on a record)

bye 4 now x
