Fox The Fox

holy shit....Giovanni Marks posted this up on the Briefcase Rockers blog and needed an immediate rewind...

AH! E.P.

Here's a collection of tracks that have been culled together for a varied mid-winter consumption. The music here was made between 2003-2007 in Philly, Kyoto and Queens. Close listens will reveal floaty SP1200 dancehall riddims lead into plastic funk breaks which resolve to heavy-metal riffs coated under broken piano tinkering. As the AH! E.P. runs through tempo, sound, location and time it nonetheless acts as a fill-in to what has been done and a pre-cursor to newer tracks on the horizon. AH!

DZ & Slit Jockey

Here's some info on the "Regulate" Remix single...

DZ’s original, chock full of growling bass and cut-up hip hop vocals, appears here for the first time on digital, alongside 5 remixes. London‘s hot n’ heavy Pirate Soundsystem step up to the plate with a scorching bass stomper in league with their recent remixes of A1 Bassline‘s Girl Thing, Wiley’s Wearing My Rolex and Bonde Do Role‘s Melo Do Tabaco. Tactic, from Kansas City, known for their remix of Blaqstarr’s Superstarr on Mad Decent and an upcoming EP on the UK label Dress 2 $weat, drop some clubby refix action on their version. From the Seclusiasis camp we hear the tribal explorations of BD1982, fresh off last year's deep and dubby "Bigfoot" EP and a recent appearance in XLR8R magazine. Philly’s Dstar is known in drum ‘n’ bass circles for his slew of releases on Metalheadz, Gasm, Freak, Jungle Sky, and Ohm Resistance. Here he comes through with a dark almost nu-skool breaks meets dubstep rendition. Rounding out this release is Turnin’ Tricks, a new production team consisting of Dev79 and Darrel Asbury, who turn out a bulging sub stepper here, after their debut last spring on Seclusiasis‘ “Street Bass Anthems Vol. 3.”

Slit Jockey Records represents a wide scale urban underground sound, fusing elements of Grime, Dubstep, Hip Hop, Electro, Dancehall, Street Bass and more. Past Slit Jockey releases have included tracks from Warrior Queen, Starkey, Kano, Ghislain Poirer, Dev79, Math Head, Riko (of Roll Deep), Vex'd, El Carnicero, Drop The Lime, Ghetto, Faction G and more.

Dâm-​Funk + stolen library records

Dâm-​Funk's new Rhythm Trax Vol.4 EP on Stones Throw is crazy. Says the label:

On Rhythm Trax Vol. 4 Dam maintains the instrumental theme, displaying his technical mastery of old school drum machines and early 80s analog synthesizers. The soundscapes of this Rhythm Trax contribution provide enough bass to rattle trunks while maintaining colorful melodies perfect for even the most intimate moments.

Here's the track "Purple" from the EP over some Out Run.

Hearing this EP made me finally rip one track from a record I'm currently "borrowing forever" from a junior high school mini-library.

Nerd shit

So I guess I can watch this video and find those last goddamn scrolls...later.

Menus

I think I've pretty much gotten over the vast amounts of Janglish ridiculousness that can be seen and read everywhere everyday. But sometimes there's still beacons of hope waiting at out of the way cafes in Ebisu...Don't stop the hope!

Young L ( Of The Pack ) - In Here from Colin Tilley DIRECTOR on Vimeo.
It took a minute for me to get into The Pack when "Vans" first popped up but they've been upping the levels recently. This track is ok but dude's got the sickest chain since Ghostface's Wonder Woman Arm.

Newham Generals

Never really got into Newham Generals too much, though big tracks are obviously good. The new material that's been poppin up is enough to get psyched for the record that supposedly will never drop. This one is Brickman with NG produced by Footsie.

Street Cannibals

From almost a year ago...damn!

Starkey's "Ephemeral Exhibits"

Starkey is ready to blow shit up with his album "Ephemeral Exhibits" out November 10th on Planet Mu Records. Check out clips from the album at the links above and also part of dude's crazy set at Mary Anne Hobb's Generation Bass show....

Fluorescent turtles, mini-Guinness, Arashiyama, old Jungle and some other stuff

First off...

Code 071-"A London Sumtin(Tek 9 Remix)"



Weird glowing turtle in Center-Kita...They had tons of snakes, lizards and marsupials too but this turtle looked the happiest.


Also in Center-Kita, which has a mini-bubble land kind of vibe anyway, pretty decent Irish pub with mini-Guinness and regular size for only twice the price as Woodside!


Spider and cloud are the same word in Japan.


Arashiyama never gets old...we walked across the river after some tofu ice cream.


This chicken-duck was in Maruyama Park.


I'm tryin to get a whole room with these walls just to chill out in.


Tried to get a video of this badass mantis turning its head at me but no go...


Maruyama Park is pretty wide I guess and there's a huge row of old sports cars lined up on one side that look like they belong to a mob family that takes care of the giant sakura tree.


Pirate cat in Yokohama.


These motherfuckers are everywhere in the summer.
