Audio/Video: hypnotic brass ensemble - free download

ChoiceCuts presents Hypnotic Brass Ensemble from Loughlin McSweeney on Vimeo.

Spottie - Heritage EP Exclusive Download by ChoiceCuts

All band members are the sons of legendary Sun Ra trumpeter Phil Cohran. The group began performing together as children (some as early as 3 years old). In 1999 they formed what is now known as the Hypnotic Brass Ensemble and have performed or collaborated with some of the greatest musical stars of the last two decades. From Mos Def to Maxwell, Wu Tang Clan's Ghostface Killah to UK superstar Damon Alburn, Erykah Badu to Fela Kuti's drummer Tony Allen. If you don't know these guys you're missing out

Some years ago I saw a show of the Youngblood Brass Band as a opening act for Mike Stern + Dennis Chambers and Erik Truffaz. The audience was a meeting between some 40+ jazz fans who came to stand around and watch the masters Stern & Chambers play and some younger folks like me who didn´t even know about the long carrer of these jazzguys. I got interested in the concert because of a Y.B.B. 12" with Kweli I bought a few days befor. What was a meeting of two worlds in the beginning, ended up as a sweaty, dancing bunch.
The energy you see in the video above remind me of that evening. It´s just impossible to stand still to these brassbands. So if you have the chance to catch one of them on tour, get there!
The freetrack (a cover of an outkast song. I guess from the aquemini LP don´t remember the title right now..) promotes an EP that features covers of fela, jay-z, Art Of Noise & Madvillan. (..One other thing, in the endnotes is written: producer mark murphy. Does anyone know if this has anything to do with the singer mark murphy? Well, propably not.. but also worth a click)

Wanted: New music by ... Phat Kat!!!

At this point of time I would like to introduce a new series to this blog. The "I demand new music by..." series. You can leave your comments and demand new music by the artist or any other artist. Feel free.
First up is PHAT KAT. The last couple of days I listened to my copy of Carte Blanche chanting along (i have a record player next to the shower). The album is that shit. Hard rhymes, furious flow and sick as f++k beats by Dilla, Black Milk, Nick Speed and Young RJ. It was only two years ago that we had the chance to catch him live at Kassablanca, Jena. The Crowd was welcoming him like a rockstar and I remember the look in his face, saying to himself: "What the hell is going on?"
Today I had to google the Detroit native only to find out that there is not much to find out. There is a cool sixteen on the Foreign Beggars LP (press play above), a feature on a MoSS produced track (video below), a couple of remixes and a Black Milk assisted song from early 2009 off his upcoming album Tha Katakombz which is set to drop this year. Really? Let`s hope they make it happen.
We`re fiending for some new Phat Kat. If anybody has any news on Ronny Cash, please comment.

Take a trip!“Primate Private” is accompanied by a limited 7” vinyl single featuring lead track “Cable Vamp” (as heard on XLR8R) and a Shlohmo remix on the flip. Furthermore, there is Mr. Dibiase, KenLo Craqnuques, DZA and Saine remixes with the digital edition of “Privat Primate”.Eventually future has arrived.

Audio: Amazing Maze - Trapped In A Maze Feat. Nutso And Copywrite // Mp3

Once in a while we have to feature our German Producers on here. This time it`s 22 year old Amazing Maze (never heard of him) from Bonn. His upcoming Album is called "Fly, Broke and Infamous". Sounds like Queensbridge, rather than Germany`s quiet ex-capital, but I have to give this man credit for working with Legends like Lord Tariq. Video above.
Grimey.
