My name is Aaron, but I go by dirtybird beats. I live in Humboldt, California. I’ve got an MA in English literature, am a full-time janitor, raise chickens, and make beats in my sleep.I just released my second album, an instrumental ep entitled "don't forget the magic." The official release date for this album was June 2, 2010. I describe my music as synthed-out, lo-fi beats that are sample-based. All my music is composed on the MPC 1000. I'm hoping you will be interested in, and potentially post about what I have to offer musically. The entire EP can be found for free at Dirtybirdbeats.Bandcamp.
While on tour in Croatia this week, Dam-Funk put together a mix called The Future of Modern Funk which aired today on Mary Anne Hobbs BBC Radio 1 show.
ChoiceCuts presents Hypnotic Brass Ensemble from Loughlin McSweeney on Vimeo.
Spottie - Heritage EP Exclusive Download by ChoiceCutsAll 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 outSome 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.
Old school tune that was either produced by Madlib or Oh No.. Dont remember (EDIT OH NO CONFIRMED THAT THIS IS HIS BEAT AND HE WAS 16!! WHEN HE MADE IT!).. but Oh no definitely recorded the session. Song was recorded 1994 at Otis Jackson Sr's house in the ox and video shot 1995 in oceanside. Video was vhs, I filmed the tv from my little digital camera because I dont know how to transfer otherwise. A lot of North County San Diego OG's in this video. Good memories. one love. Blame.. and oh yeah... I dont remember the song name... as usual..haha
