I was just about to post the ill dj-action-mix from "D-Styles and Asura" but SOLO already put it online. All alone and as fast as lightning- thats where he got his name from.
Anyway, there are other freaky things on the web that are worth spending some time on. Like this nice docu about the funkiest men in hotpants that I found on Kon´s Blog. Always remember: "Don´t fake the funk or your nose got´s to grow."
Good evening.
Do not attempt to adjust your radio, there is nothing wrong.
We have taken control as to bring you this special show.
We will return it to you as soon as you are grooving.
Welcome to station WEFUNK, better known as We-Funk,
Or deeper still, the Mothership Connection.
Home of the extraterrestrial brothers,
Dealers of funky music.
P.Funk, uncut funk, The Bomb.
Whohaa. This got send to us today and it`s fuckin funky french. I remember my fascination for french rap like IAM, Lone, Funky Family, Busta Flex, Rohff and so on. Than began a long time when I ignored it totally. Booba was fucking boring in my ears. Even my old heros seemed to have lost it.
Now this right here sounds like the french rap I used to listen to, not saying it sounds old, it sounds good. Not all the songs are my kinda thing, a lot of soul sampling on here, but I`ve picked out a couple of my favorites. Download the whole album here. Fresh.
Upps. Not very often have I seen somebody put together such a cinematic video to promote a "beat tape".
Now listen: Beat-Maker-Beat is not just another beatmaker, he is top-notch and his Live EP is not a beatmixtape, it`s a soundtrack. I first recognized the dude from Saint-Petersburg, Russia, when I found this new Shawn Jackson joint. Now I saw that he has four beats on the new album, more than any of the other producers.
Download his Live EPhere and also download his latest mix the Astral Theory Mix Vol. 1 (2010) here.

100 Akres: Hey .....did you know Cyndi Lauper loves beat tapes? Well, ok...she's not a beat head but I still decided to take one of her albums (She's So Unusual LP) and flip each and every song into a neck snappin', brain twistin', "smack whoever is next to you when you hear it" beat. Check it out and feel free to post if you like what you hear.
p.s. the piece of the song that's sampled for each track is revealed at the end of each beat
p.s.s. I was kidding about smacking the person next to you.....kinda
Thanks 100 Akres for sending us that concept Beat Tape.Great tracks on it.Go get it for free.

For our last work me and the homie P-Zee had to take a trip to Crete, Greece. In between we had some time to check out the Island with a Rental Car. This is a trip from the south coast (Matalla) to the North Coast (Iraklion). 40 Miles in 4 minutes. Filmed with and Ipod Nano taped to the front window. I love how the scratching and the rapping somehow match the flow of the road. The song selection was a coincidence. I put on Nottz when we started the trip and he decided to make it an unofficial music video. You god damn stan.
Nice work P.
Intalek, a rapper from Virginia, U.S., collaborated with Ritchcraft, a producer from Halifax, N.S. Canada and created began to create what is now known as 'Lives and Vibes'.
