Here’s a new Clipse track. The beat – good, the flow – fire, the chorus – kinda cheesy. Anyway, here it is.

Also, A TRAK interview tonight with BRENONES. We’ve decided not to ask questions, instead we’re just gonna dick ride him, tell him how great he is and smile at him the whole time, speechless, and see how long that’ll last. What’d ya think?

The Clipse – Warning

I saw this dude a little under a year ago, at last years Rock the Bells, and found that the sound quality alone was so terrible that I couldn’t take a feel from it. I liked his name though. Anyway, I was doing the daily blog roll, and found this on salacioussounds. Anywho, just to add to their post, the imagery is cool, and 10 brownie points, and a dry handjob/fingerbang to anyone who can place that beat, coz I know it’s been used before. It’s a JustBlaze production, so there’s a point in the right direction.

Also, A TRAK interview this Friday, and I need some question tips. COMMENT NUCCAS.

A TRAK

Summer’s summer, but not in Ottawa.  Summer’s a long drawn out work week with minimal sun, and maximum cold, which means minimum summer babe-age.

But, summer continues to roll right through with MAD events poppin’ off, unusual for a city where government workers cover 82.5% of the population (true stories).

Which me leads me to the next point. My fellow long lost blogger, BRENONES, landed an interview with A Trak. For those not familar,  A Trak’s won every dj comp in the book, he was Kanye’s deejay, he has his own  label, Fools Gold, and is a genre leader in his beat making and mixing abilities. What up. Here’s a vid.

Love Ice Tea callin him out on being a pipe bombin’ terroist.

Anyway, we are super stoked brah about this interview, so we wanna share that excitement with you, we want YOUR questions for A Trak, which of course we’ll be askin’ him.

Make em knowladgble, make em dope, and make em LOL – able.

For the next six days leading up to the interview we”ll be doing an A Trak post, gettin’ some hype bumpin’ behind this.

Get ready nuccas and nuccets,

Andrew + BRENONES

I have been using the excuse that I am busy. I have been using the excuses that, ya kna, I’m consumed with with work/gf/friends/summer, but the bottom line is that I just stopped caring about what was coming out. I wasn’t feelin’ anything too FRESH.

Moving on,

LAKERS

Kobe is so serious. His focus, his discipline, his personal evolution. most importantly, his game face.

GAME FACE BABY

To keep the WBA tradition, check this UNDFTD Tee out. I mean, I like it, I’d buy it.

Or you can just go check the site out where I jooked everything from here. I am going to make more of an effort to spam the shit outta twitter and my facebook for all of you.

A limited edition vinyl box set has been created by a team made up of Soulwax, UK electrotrash dj Riton, and artist Fergus Purcell (AKA Fergadelic). The side project is called ‘Die Verboten’ and ya kna’, being Swiss and all, I can tell you this means FORBIDDEN. 

The box set is called “Live in Eivissa”  - named after an 18min track recorded in Ibiza on the A-side. On the B-side one can find a unique laser-etched piece of art. Another wacky feature to be noted is a pop-up pyramid, similar to the ones in our little kiddy books, whose configuration is designed to ‘focus the deep cosmic powers of the vinyl housed inside’. Whoa.

Die Verboten

I like this etch, it reminds me a lot of the bright patterned clothing worn in M.I.A.’s Paper Planes vid when she’s dancing down the street wif her entourage. 

Here’s a lil sample of Fergadelic’s past work. Known for his stoner aesthetics, skull pieces, humor, sci-fi, and music related graphics. You be the judge:

SPEW - blaahhhhhh

Anyway, Die Verboten is due to come out around the end of June. Only 300 copies are being made. Kudos to Mixmag fo the goods. 

HOLLA

Here’s a lil’ present for ya’ll. Intro first:

• Flutebox & Beardyman – Google hosted an event for their employees and brought in these ninjas – UK’s premier beat-boxers straight from Londontown 
• Beardyman – UK Beatbox Champ two years straight – 06/07
• Quite a comical routine

The first time I watched this vid, I wasn’t really watching – more listening. Errytime I’d look back at my comp screen I’d be in awe. With only one question: How the fuck? This shit is amazing. Please watch all 18mins. It’s so worth it. I pwomise.

These boys throw down, covering everything from Drum & Bass to D’Angelo slow jamz. Their set includes some James Brown, Beat Nuts (Watch Out Now: wicked pump-up), even a fucking Planet Earth skit. 

So without further adieu, PUMP UP YO’ BASS, and git rrready!

Told you so. 

Love,

-KS

ps-where is everyone?

Outty…

So it has been a while since I posted something on here, where in comparison to about three months ago, it was multiple times a day. Two reasons for this. Reason number one: lack of cool shit coming out/everything looks the same. After doing this for a brief stint of time, you begin to realize a general trend in stuff that is coming out, and stuff that is being written. Its like one big melding pot of sameness. Reason number two: life gets in the way.

Anyway, this is a collab between sneaker retailer mita, and the Japanese hip hop group Astro.
