Secondhand Sureshots is a is a filmed experiment in creative sound recycling.Dublab directors Bryan “Morpho” Younce & Mark “frosty” McNeill sent beatmakers Daedelus, Nobody, J.Rocc and Ras G on safari into L.A.
thrift stores with orders to make new music out of five finds while the
cameras filmed the whole process. The result is a mini-documentary
about putting new life into old vinyl. Over 2 hours of footage, music
& bonus material.
I don't know fo you guys,but I just discovered this man and I love what I hear.That "Purple Planet" is the bomb!So...I find out that his debut album is on the way,and it will be released on December 3rd for Tokyo Dawn Records.The album features appearances of musicians such as Georgia Anne Muldrow,Suzi Analogue,Dudley Perkins,Blaktroniks etc.
Portformat /Tokyo Dawn Records "Portformat aka Ibrahima M’Bodji is a highly acclaimed Senegalese experimental hip-hop producer currently living in Germany. Although he’s not religious at all, he grew up under a strict Muslim education. Being quickly bored of a narrow-minded environment, he decided to move away and started a whole new life – with absolutely nothing in his pockets, except his genius music skills. Deeply dedicated to music since his first days, Portformat is completely devoted to electronic music production. He’s currently catching the attention of a constantly growing number of listeners and DJs around the world, chances are good you’ll be the next one getting addicted to his hypnotic grooves. Portformat now works on his first album, the “Repeat Factor” LP, which will come out on Tokyo Dawn Records this year. There’s much to expect from this artist, watch out"!!!
Dizz1 is an Australian turntablist and producer,and I heard sum from him on Beat Dimensions vol.2,dope track 'Konotakosuke Yaro' and he was on Red Bull Academy in Barcelona,2008.Now we got this release 3rd Time Lucky/Nod Navigators and its already supported by Benji B and Mary Anne Hobbs and big-ups from the likes of Mark Pritchard aka Harmonic 313!
An unfortunate series of events caused Dizz1 to partially shatter his neck, causing him to become paralyzed from the neck down. A miracle doctor fixed his bone structure and spinal cord which, above all expectations, ended the paralyses. Long story short the lucky bugger got his feel back ! Luck was definitely on his side since a couple of years before he also managed to survive from a serious car crash.
He told me personally on myspace that the album with Om'Mas Keith from Sa-Ra Creative Partners (his raps on Dizz1’s beats) is on the way,early next year,and has worked in the studio with Mark Pritchard and Steve Spacek (live project in the works) and Stereotyp (Vienna).
Now it's about time to make some place right here fo my homeboy.
22years old guy,born and raised in Belgrade...raised on street culture and lifestyle,as well as skateboarding.
He is one of those who do not fit in the standards of growing up and maturing generations of the late 80s and
90s...outcast of generation who's like rotten oranges and later catched points.
Child of soul,funk,jazz,hip hop and ol'skool rap...a big fan of drum'n'bass and jungle sound.He is a vinyl collector,primarily because of love for 'em,and then 'cause of deejayin of course.
On the events in which he spins music,you can hear classic hip hop and rap songs,and a sophisticated
selection of Motown,Stax...sound,melodic funk,jazzy hip hop all the way to broken beat,nu jazz...
Beat junky...he starts to deal with music production in 2008.One of his first beat found his place on the
compilation of local underground musicians on UnderGrad Jam project for multimedial organization Izgradnja.
With his own style,he stands out from the majority of both domestic and also from region beatmakers.
Among some of the producers that he loves is certainly Madlib,with all the aliases and his music projects and
different styles...but also,he follows the original J Dilla recipe for delicious 'donuts'.
His beats so far have found their place on the new albums of the local hip hopers (Shkabo, Shef Sale), and there are indications of regional music colaborations.With local drum'n'bass deejay and producer Side1 (Side1 @myspace) he did a tune "Never Gonna Let You Go", which is found a place on the famous dnb label GoodLooking rec,whose owner is LTJ Bukem,in form of white label and suported from himself,Makoto,Fabio,Bailey etc. Here,on B92.fm you can hear his guest mix for a great radio show Balanso (Spacewalker and Jazzmate).
