thanks... wasn't feeling the justin+justice aye?

thanks for the update, i'm picking my dot black beauty card wallet this weeeek

my name is onemancult, and i approve of starfighter's minimix.

the 1,2,3,4 into boyz is a knockout, in particular.

good looks omc... thanks for the feed.

anybody else take a listen?

explaining "the process of sampling" is like explaining "the process of playing the tuba" or something...

But MPC's are really only practical nowadays if you already have some other hardware to go along with it. Which you don't.

(edit: hrm i took this off topic a bit)

ditto.

you could do just as well/better with an MPD or Trigger Finger and a slew of software and vsts.

if you want to get into beats seriously, as in production, sampling is a dying artform. as unfortunate as it is, more and more labels are becoming less willing to clear samples, and if you're waiting for work to be published, this can be a painstaking process. read Just Blazes' blog regarding Saigon's album holdup (which has been done for a year+ and still not released) for more info regarding sample clearances and bullshit.

Not saying that sampling shouldnt be done, I've got crates of 60's and 70's soul/funk/jazz sitting next to me as i type this, but if you're looking to get serious, it's recommended that you strike a middleground between synth/instrumentation and sampling. clearance payouts are a bitch.

the novelty is you get all the danger of being involved with black culture but you dont have to be around black people while you enjoy it!!!!!!!!

quoted for truth.

the fader, discobelle, kidz by colette, discodust, surrounded by idiots, kissatlanta, still listen to gangsta music, stereogum, different kitchen, smoking section (og)

so this is my first mix in like five years...

I figured if I could get it shot down anywhere, I'd try here first.

ten minutes or so... chopping/blending/editing and whatnot.

the tracklist isn't anything too cerebral, just took some new shit and some random stuff on my desktop... but it passes being mildly cohesive. hah

1. guns n' bombs - nothing is getting us anywhere

2. midnight juggernauts - road to recovery (miami horror remix)

3. digitalism - pogo

4. feist - 1 2 3 4 (van she technologic remix)

5. m.i.a. - boyz

6. in the club - she's a man (killdahype remix)

7. justin timberlake - lovestoned (justice remix) (edit)

8. codebreaker - exiled (miami horror remix) (edit)

9. killdahype - around the world (edit)

let me know what ya thinks...

so what's the verdict?

i'm fiending on that dot black beauty card wallet... agh

this Bonde Do Role record 'With Lasers', after hearing so much positive press.

Can't say I reallly see what the fuss is about...

Baile Funk/Funk Caroica is wild, but this whole take on it is tired, even with Diplo all over it...

nominated. how great.

this Treasure Fingers (ATL) mix is quite tasty...

& miami horror has been killing it lately... the juggernauts mix is tres' bonked.

Midnight Juggernauts - Road To Recovery (Miami Horror Remix)

Codebreaker - Exiled (Miami Horror Remix V2)

alternating between....

&

hahahaha cheep++

need to get my hands on waajeed's new album.

hmpf i just got some slim jims... sized down by two... these are real tight but worn at the hips i could rock them. how much stretch can be expected? if they stay this tight I'm gonna have to pass these along... argh

way to miss the point.

I've been thinking about this lately, and thought I'd bounce it off of the sufu'ers...

The unfortunate trend this year in music, has been the pussification of once-edgy bands into broad, mushy soundscapes, big arrangements, and lost-afloat-awash-in-reverb treatments.

Case in point, Bloc Party's Weekend In The City, Editors' End Has A Start, and Interpol's Our Love To Admire.

Now, I personally am spinning the later two albums alot lately, and this is not to say the sounds respective to those bands have been completly homogonized, as throughout these albums there are glimmers of what once was, but it's safe to say that this forced-BIG sound has been far too prevalent this year.

The only band that really pulled of the transition well was Arcade Fire.

If said producers, Jacknife Lee, Paul Epworth, & Rich Costey (Bloc Party, Editors & Interpol, respectively) wanted to bring a larger sound to the table, why not use the big production value to compliment the edge that these bands have/had, rather than squash/drown/smother it out?

I'd love to hear the bite of a song 'Obstacle 1' translated with this larger sound, or Bloc Party's 'Like Eating Glass' blended with the depth of 'Sunday'

does anyone else feel this way?

mine mine mine

these are on denim bar right now in dry heavy organic.

beautiful jeans tho.

lol i hear you the haphazard-ness of some of Madlib's work.

but that, in effect, is part of his charm as a producer/instrumentalist.

the man is a visionary, but he lacks the technical skill of his contemporaries.

some believe he more than makes up for it in pure ideas and imagination...

i am one of those people.

i mean, who else could cop an ounce of shrooms and disapear into a basement for a week and come out with a masterpiece like The Unseen?

hehe...

well said.

i'll be posting in this later with some of my work...

beezy.
