The Tribe Youall...



One of the best hip hop acts ever, they first formed in 1985 and consist Q-Tip (Kamaal Ibn John Fareed), Phife Dawg (Malik Taylor), and DJ/producer Ali Shaheed Muhammad. I remember listen to A Tribe Called Quest on the way into school in year 8, I didn’t like hip hop and my friend bet me that he could change my view. He played a couple of tribe tracks to me and that was it.


These are my two favourite tracks one I have put as an Mp3 the other is a clip!!!

Lester Speight... alright so to most of you out there. your probably thinking who the f* is Lester Speight. well then... he is the big thug brother you see being played in 'Norbit'.. he's jnr's father in law in 'my wife and kids'...he's been in so many things. you will know his face when you watch the videos.. he such a funny man.. the bigger they are the harder they make you laugh. i pretty much had to sit on the floor in my office and hide my laughter from the boss.

Crystal Castles are coming





I have been a fan of Crystal Castles for a long time now. Ever since i saw them at the Meredith music festival in Victoria. Even though I had a random attack of hay fever from being in a country paddock for 3 days I managed to get up at 2.30 when their set was on. The lead singer Alice Glass walked out with a full bottle of Jager and was swigging it straight from the bottle (so rock star). They pumped out a chargey set that gave me goose bumps the whole way through, even their chilled songs are still intense, when they play live. Don’t miss them at Parklife this year.



Watch this creepy clip!!!


Untrust Us....







This is my favourite track "Alice Practice"... Its pretty insense and Alice is just screaming through it but i think its nice....

Chronicles of Never and Pittbull Mansion



Chronicles of Never have been a brand I have had my eye on for a while now. They make awesome jewellery and shoes. The shoes all have their own unique crazy shape and style. Gareth moody is the creator of Chronicle of Never and used to work for ksubi before it got the T (tsubi).

Chronicles have an online store and some of their apparel is available on the pittbull mansion website.

I have put a couple of pic’s in this entry, some oversized bags, new mens shoes and the pic that is heading their new campaign (at the top).




















Check out the website.
http://www.chroniclesofnever.com/




Pittbull Mansion
Pitbull mansion has a great section of Australian and overseas designers available to purchase from their online store. Brands they stock are Stersis, Claude Maus, Melissa, State of Georgia, Karen Walker, Love Jungle, Lime Drop and Stolen girlfriends club to name a few. The clothes are pretty cool seeing that pittbull mansion is based in Tasmainia, weird huh!

Zouk- noun (origin: French Creole for "Party")




Yo Gabba Gabba! is a PARTY tv show that is beamed to us from the states and shown on Nick Jr. (ch:703)... Its a kids show from the same genre as High 5, Wiggles etc. and aimed at the ever impressional and uber pop culture influenced young youths of today.... and i mean young (think teletubbies for the new aged).

Forget "eh ooooooo" and "wake up jeff", Yo Gabba Gabba! brings you a segment called Biz's Beat of the Day, where Biz Markie, the rapper/beatboxer legend teaches the child watching to make basic beatboxing sounds...





This show is actully full of really catchy beats, bands and basslines. If you get bored and feel like getting in touch with your inner child from the new generation, sit through an episode (you may even see a few celebrities make cameos: Jack Black, The Shins, Shiny Toy Guns, Rahzel from THE ROOTS, Tony Hawk and the Ting Tings just to name a few)

This may be a lame post about bullshit kids tv.... But i wish the Ting Tings entertained me in the afternoon instead of some 50 year old man in a skivvy..

Music, Life lessons, Dancing and Partying... enough said..

Ill leave you with some more homework: watch this next video clip..

CHROMEO reminding us why its important to wash our hands before playing the synth and being a VCB (very clean boy)....

Life of the night.....Knightlife...




Knightlife is easily my favourite producer at the moment, it doesn’t matter if I am playing an opening or closing set one of his tracks seem to seep out of the speakers onto the dance floor. Knightlife is from Melbourne and has a synthy old school style with modern dance techniques to make you want to groove.

I cant get enough!

He is signed to cutters records ( CUT COPY'S Label), if you’re a promoter or club owner you need to book this guy, they need to be coming to Sydney on a monthly basis.

a.k.a Vincent Frank

23 years old and fricken talented..

Genre of choice: Electro Pop

Album Name: Complete me


Date of album Relase: 3/Aug/2009

Originally a British Beatboxer, Frankmusik has evolved into an electro pop and style icon. He is relatively unknown in Australia but should blow up big and be on our festival stages soon if people know their stuff.. (but who knows with the scene these days)...

Confusion Girl is the first single release off his album and is avaliable now on iTunes (click the link from the Frankmusik YouTube page).

But before you buy the album, you can watch the uber catchy, sweet flasetto, smooth flowing sound that is Frankmusik right now by watching the "Confusion Girl" video... just click the link...


For those of you that may think he is just a product of the electro pop bandwagon, see for yourself just how talented he is as a musician and entertainer... He beatboxes and sings at the same time.. It is just crazy... This single video got me into Frankmusik...



And to prove hes gonna be a big player in the electro world, God of dance, Don Diablo did a sweet remix of this song... This remix just makes me chill out and feel really relaxed.. This track will also be avaliable on 12"..

Cause everyone loves the Beetroots.... (mostly). You should like what the Beetroots like..


Sydney was gripped with a reddish/purpleish fever a few weeks ago when the Bloody Beetroots rolled through town...


But no one even caused a stir when The Cool Kids came through earlier in the year...


The Cool Kids are Antoine "Mikey Rocks" Reed and Evan "Chuck Inglish" Ingersoll.







Meeting and originally releasing their music throught MySpace since 2005 these guys have toured with M.I.A and around the world with their sound...

Think you havent heard thier stuff before??

You know the track BEEPER made famous by SINDEN?? well the original song BEEPER comes from THE COOL KIDS ..

FACT: These guys are seriously underrated..


Bloody Beetroots noticed these guys and decided to lend their hook from warp 1.9 for them to rap over and came up with this piece of hip hop gold...

For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction (Newton's Third Law of Motion)

Ever since i read Yeezys post about the Toy Watches i have been on the hunt for a new watch. or rather, just a watch, because i dont own one at all.
Unfortunately i don't know anyone going to bali so it's not likely that i will be donning a faux Breitling or Superleggera any time soon.
Then, to my delight, one cold and miserable Sydney Winter's morning, my inbox was graced with the minimalist beauty and design of the Nixon Newton. This stunning watch although nothing like the Breitlings or J12's of this world pays homage to one of the worlds greatest minds.
The watch sports two dots that rotate around a numberless dial. A clever reflection of Newtons work as an Astronomer and physicist. Illuminated by an Light Emitting Diode backlight, something that would probably blow the old boy's mind. Its made from a custom polycarbonate case with a one-piece injection molded silicone band and plastic buckle.
With a choice of 5 colours this timepiece is my kind of modern styling with a dash of 18th Century flair at the mighty affordable price of US $99
Get one here
I reckon Newton would don the blue one.
He's into colours. After all he did write a theory on it

The Glamour, Glamour. Glamour



THE GLAMOUR


Asher Gray and Richard Galling hail from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. In 1999 they began producing and DJing together. They took influences from Cassius, Daft Punk, Fred Falke, Alan Braxe, and Dj Falcon to Dimitri From Paris and Etinne de Crecy. A “DIY” electro sound with nods to popular and underground music of the 1970’s and 1980’s, which heavily influenced the direction their production.

The duo is now in the process of working on their debut album, Here you will hear The Glamour starting to make more specific references to classic Techno and House, with further nods to Disco and Funk.


The two tracks i am putting up aren't as funky their old stuff, their a bit heavier. (just like strez air likes it)

'Slicker cities' as slick as they come






Slicker Cities. Just plain cool!


Producer Al White is the creative figure behind Slicker Cities, he takes inspiration from Fred Falke, Moulinex and Alan Braxe to name a few. His new disco house style is really fun and fresh, Old 80’s samples and solid house production is what Slicker Cities is really based around. Al is a Sydney based Dj/producer, look out for him in the clubs because he should be hitting some gigs up soon.

Frisky Disco

Frisky is a producer from Edinburgh/London.
I have been sitting on these tracks for a while now and I am starting to really like them.
Both these tracks are disco house with, solid bass and funky pads synths’ really fun and heading towards the new disco feel.
'Baby its easy' is more funkier and 'sleaze machine' is a bit more minimal with a heavier synth sound.

Ok!

I have been working with a producer/Dj called "Strez Air" in his crazy home studio. Which is decked out with 3 synths, 2 midi controllers, dj deck, 2 computers and studio monitors. This makes working fun haha!

We have been working on a couple of tracks the first of which is a mid-range disco track, it is totally original no samples or anything. The style of this track is like Linus Loves or Mylo ish.

Here it is the first track by Deadits.
Deadits - 1982 (just click on the link)
