Goodbye!
Alright guys. It was so wonderful sharing music for you all. I have expanded my musical horizons more than I ever thought possible, while writing for this site. I hope that my efforts have made you go out there and buy some quality tunes. A HUGE thanks goes out to my compadres in this musical voyage: bRain, n9mmnikes, Rilla & Nick. Good music lives forever. Until Next Time! Thank you and goodbye!

Why not?
So I haven’t been posting lately… the reason? I no longer have an internet connection as I moved. Buuut in the little time I have spent online i found this retarded/funny song… got a laugh out of it… maybe u will too. Fun electro style beat.

Wa-le jus’ chillin’
For my latest mixtape, “110%”, I decided to remix Wale’s first major label single “Chillin” f/ Lady Gaga. For the remix, I wanted to go with something more organic to make it different than the 808- & synth-heavy original. To keep it DC, I sampled a break from go-go band Trouble Funk’s “Let’s Get Small”, which Boogie Down Productions used on their classic “Criminal Minded”. From there, I layered 2 other breaks that BDP used in that song (Isaac Hayes’ “Breakthrough” and Syl Johnson’s “Different Strokes”) and added some more samples and loops to accompany certain lines that Wale raps. The result is an uptempo, mega-mix style remix, suitable for the clubs, the jeeps, the streets, bar mitzvahs, weddings and ipods. 110%!

this is nice for the clubb, the carr, the beachh, the girll & summerrrr
I heard Wale’s name (pronounced Wa-Leh) out on the streets of LA. It put a smile on my face. DC is moving quality. Cant wait for this album to drop. The Mixtape about nothing has been posted here quite a few times. But in case you were asleep, heres your chance.

more yukimi please
In case you missed it the first couple times (latest one: like a week ago). The first video is another Little Dragon track off their upcoming album. Prep your ear drums, the new album will be kicking. We will let you know more details about this gem when it drops!
Ive heard you can get this track off the Japanese release of their self-title LP… If you look hard enough, you may just be able to track that one down. Here is Constant Surprises off that original LP. Dont Sleep!
“Goddamn you half-Japanese girls. Do it to me every time” – first to name the song and artist of this quote off the top of your head wins a prize.
