I guess this must be the last episode promoting the four headed production team from Cali Drums and Ammo and their free beat tape which you can download here. This time it`s producer Al Jieh featuring DaVinci. Check out the previous episodes with REL and C-Plus, 6Fingers and Bambu and the first episode with Ammbush repping himself.
Don`t sleep on these guys.
A selection of mostly european (predominantly german) tracks. Many of them edited. Just some rare or awkward stuff sitting on my shelves, that waited to be compiled into a mix for a long time. Starting slowly and getting library discoid towards the end.
Our friend Rafael is a lunatic when it comes to record diggin. Check out his latest adventure into funkyland. Crusty ass shit!
I´m glad Gil Scott-Heron called some attention on his last record and made once again clear what a gifted & powerful poet and musician he was. He showed a last time that he still got it - putting all the struggle with life and drug abuse in the rear. He died 3 days ago 62 years old in a new yorker hospital.
The first time I recognised him was actual on a sample.. So here is a kmd for you + a late performance (probably not one of his best, but it´s touching that he did such a performance on a small stage in the park..) of the man himself.
For all who are interested in his lifework I recomend the documentary: Gil Scott-Heron – The godfather of rap.
rest in peace.

Thx to Cascade Records for sending this nice "Sunrise Choir" compilation, representing the Japanese Beat/Rap scene this days.

I guess I am getting old. I never thought I could fuck with this "I reminisce about the 90s" shit, but this hook is so catchy and just caught me at the right moment, I guess.

Some weeks ago we met the legendary producer Dj Vadim in his berlin part-time flat and had a little chat about past, present and future of production, changes in the music industry and his new record withTheElectric. It was interesting to hear the opinions and storys of someone who is in the game since over two decades. Thanks again to Vadim for sharing views. // Check the new video "The Electric - Toot Toot" (produced by homieBenjamin Dormrich and Loris Lamuniere) and the interview after the jump....Thx 2 Jonas and Jimmmy°!
