...
SO IF YA DIG 80'S OLD SKOOL HIP HOP THIS ONES FOR YOU.
THE NORMAL BANTER AND HELLOS FROM THE U.K , U.S.A AND PLENTY FROM OUR NEW HOT SPOT SOUTH AMERICA.
CHEERS TO ALL THOSE THAT TUNE IN LIVE AND YES THERE IS A SLIGHT HUM BUT WHEN THE TUNES ARE SPINNING YA DON'T NOTICE IT.....................BUT ITS NOT OUR FAULT.;-)
SO MUSIC PEOPLE STILL HOLD HOPE IN THESE DAY'Z OF PIRACY THAT THE AUDIENCE IS LISTENING AND THAT THEY AS MUSIC FANS WILL SUPPORT THE PEOPLE WHO DECIDE TO MAKE CREATIVE OUTBURSTS OF NOISE AND SKILL OR NOT , WHATEVER TAKES YOUR FANCY.
THE JURY FOR THE LIKES OF RADIOhEAD , TRENT REZNOR ( N.I.N ) AND MANY OTHER'S IS STILL OUT ON THAT ONE.
THE " PAY AS MUCH AS YOU LIKE " FORMULA HASN'T HAD MUCH FEEDBACK FROM THE ARTISTS.
(WHICH TO MY MIND SUGGEST'S IT'S A PRETTY DEPRESSING SET OF FACTS AND FIGURES)
TRENT REZNOR DID BLOG A VERY DETAILED REPORT ON HIS AND SAUL WILLAIM'S ALBUM WHICH THEY RELEASED VIA " THE PAY AS YOU FEEL " AND IF YOUR INTERESTED IN MUSIC AND THE WEB IT IS A VERY GOOD READ INDEED.
FUNNY ENOUGH ....HE GOT TORN OUT OF IT BY FANS'AND THE WEB ALIKE SUCH AS THIS READ
NOW FOR THE HARD SALE ( AS U FEEL OF COURSE )
ALL I SUGGEST IS THAT YOU CONSIDER THE PRICE OF 20 CIGGIES OR A COUPLE OF BEERS AND THEN DECIDE WHAT YOU WILL PAY.
SO WHAT AM I TYPING ABOUT ? YOU REALLY DON'T NEED A REVIEW AS IT'S FREE TO CHECK AND AND DOWNLOAD.
LETS CUT TO THE CHASE AFTER THE HIGH WATER MARK ( THAT YOU CAN STILL SEE A STAIN OF ON THE NET ) TURNTABLISM HAS FALLEN ON WEIRD TIMES.
A SCENE , MOVEMENT THAT GOBBLED UP THE MIDDLE AND LEFT SIDES OF HIP HOP THROUGH THE 90'S AND START OF THE ZERO'S ZERO'S IS ALL BUT A SCRATCHY DISTANT NOISE.
EVEN THE COMPETITION'S HAVE FALLEN OFF THE RADAR AND THE WORLD FAMOUS D.M.C TITLE DOESN'T QUITE HAVE THE ALI " CHAMPION OF THE WORLD " FEEL ANYMORE.
THE SCRATCH WORLDS BEST KNOWN NAMES SEEM TO BE DJING ON THURSDAY NIGHTS IN DOWNTOWN SPOTS IN LOCAL AREAS , IT IS STRANGE TIMES FOR THE DOCTORS OF THE SCRATCH.
HERE IN THE EMERALD ISLE WE NEVER REALLY GOT THE SHINE ON D.M.C VIDEOS OR I.T.F'S , WE DID MANAGE A CHAMPION IN THE I.T.F SCRATCH CATEGORY BUT REALLY I AM SURE MOST OF THE WORLD DON'T KNOW WE EXIST.
BUT WE DO .
FOR THE LONGEST TIME I HAVE TURNED UP AT RADIO BROARDCAST'S AND HIP HOP JAMS AND THERE HAVE BEEN THE SCRATCH LORDS KNOWN COLLECTIVELY AS " COMMUNITY SKRATCH GAMES " GO GO GO
, AFTER EVERY FREESTYLE OR PERFORMANCE I HAVE LEFT THINKING IF THESE CATS WHERE FROM THE U.S , FRANCE OR JAPAN PEOPLE BE STUDYING AND APPLAUDING THEM FOR THEIR FUNK AND SKILLZ BUT THEIR NOT.
SO WHAT DO WE HAVE HERE .
WELL TO MY EARS ONE OF THE FINEST TURNTABLE BASED ALBUMS / E.P'S IN YEARS ( BANDCAMP FULL AVAILABLE RELEASES HERE ) AND I DON'T MEAN FUNKMASTER FLEX .....WE ARE TALKING MOODIER VIBES YA'LL ..
THIS IS THE MR.DIBBS MEETS DJ SPOOKY & KRUSH HAVING A BEEFY SPARKY IN A CINEMA HTEY BROKE INTO AND IT SO HAPPENS THAT ON SCREEN IS A 3-D PRINT OF " DELVERANCE " OR 80'S SWAMP HIDE & SEEK CLASSIC " SOUTHERN COMFORT ".
DO YA NEED ANYMORE WAFFLE...TEXTURES , SKILLZ , EH MORE SKILLZ AND DENSE LAYERS OF CRACKLES , POP'S AND BLUES ....YES THIS IS IRISH TURNTABLE BLUES.
YOU CAN DOWNLOAD FOR FREE OR PAY AS YOU FEEL...BUT AGAIN I ASK YOU TO CONSIDER HOW MUCH A BUS FARE IS ( AND THIS SHIT IS ON TIME BOYYYEEEEEE )
HOW MUCH 20 CIGGIES OR ROLLIES COST.
HOW MUCH A COUPLE OF CAN'S ARE NEVERMIND A FEW PINTS WHEN YOUR OUT AND ABOUT.
THEN CONSIDER THAT ONE DAY YOU MAY BRING YOUR OWN PERSONAL PROJECTS FORTH AND WOULD AT LEAST LIKE THE RECOGNITION FOR YOUR OUTPOURINGS , NO ONE KNOWS HOW ANY TRADE-ABLE ART VIA DIGITAL CODING WILL PROGRESS WHATEVER IT FILMS , BOOK'S , T.V AND MUSIC TO NAME A FEW BUT ONE THING FOR ALL UNDERGROUND NICHES A LOOSE BUT HONORABLE CODE OF BEHAVIOR MUST DEVELOPE.
OTHERWISE ALL THE ABOVE WILL BE DOMINATED BY THOSE THAT CAN AFFORD TO DO IT RATHER THEN ALL OF US TO AT LEAST TRY ( YES THE CREAM WILL RISE TO THE TOP ETC ) , ALL ART SHOULD BE FREE TO THE MASSES BUT WITH A DEGREE OF SUPPORT FROM THE MASSES.
AND GIVE THE BOY'S A SHOUT VIA THEIR SOCIAL MEDIA'S...CAUSE AT THE MO THEY IZ IN A UPHILL STRUGGLE BUT A FEW WORDS HERE AND THERE WORKS WONDERS ON PEOPLE'S CONFIDENCE.
