DSP - In the red {2002}

Един любим стар албум

DSP aka Dynamic Syncopation
After meeting on college radio in the late 80’s, Jonny Cuba & the Loop Professor realised they had similar tastes in hip-hop, films and all things funky. They began their induction into London’s club scene.
Their first LP DYNAMISM (Ninjatune 1999) got rave reviews for its mix of ‘true-school’ hip-hop & heavy instrumental beats. Since then they have toured extensively in Europe alongside the Herbaliser, DJ Food, Kid Koala, DJ Vadim and Nightmares On Wax – another highlight was DJing at Mohammed Ali’s 60th birthday. They’ve also been working hard in the studio, travelling back and forth between New York and London for recording sessions.

FLYamSAM - Bootleg Beats {2009}



Samiyam - Return EP {2008}

Ann Arbor’s latest prodigal son and lover of sprinkles on doughnuts, takes the legacy of all Detroit’s talented musical sons and daughters and makes Hip Hop beats filled with snippets of Soul, Funk, 70’s Italian horror flick soundtracks, Nintendo bonus level music, and 90’s Hip Hop. Somehow, with this much content, the beats still manage to sound gloriously minimal and disjointed. Fans like Benji B, Andrew Meza and XLR8R have been eagerly snapping up his tracks, as Sam freeze frames Electro energy and spits it back out as twisted future Jazz. Dabrye is a fan, Daedelus describes him as “a thrilling sound to break the sameness,” and Flying Lotus is his brother in arms (they collaborate on the project FLYamSAM).

Genre: underground hip hop, hip-hop, beats

Gonjasufi - In 2009 a voice materializes from the windswept void of the California desert. At once haunting and oddly welcoming, it’s not your mind playing tricks on you, it’s Gonjasufi. Combining international psychedelia and the new-school beat diaspora, Gonjasufi’s dark songwriting, affecting vocals and street-mystic vibe will leave an indelible mark, as witnessed so far on collaborations with Flying Lotus and Gaslamp Killer .

Oneida - Rated O {2009}

Artist: Oneida
Title: Rated O
Release date: July 7 2009

The most striking and consistent aspect of Oneida’s music is their use of and fascination with repetition. Their 2002 LP, Each One Teach One, for instance, begins with two especially long tracks, Sheets of Easter and Antibiotics, the former over fourteen minutes long, the latter more than sixteen. Both of these songs are composed of one repeated riff (with a few short interludes on Antibiotics). In addition to the use of repetition Oneida’s music can be distinguished by the bandmember’s extensive use of and enthusiasm for antique keyboards and analog electric pianos.
Originally recording on Turnbuckle Records (their first two albums in 1997 and 1999), the band now runs Brah Records, an imprint of Jagjaguwar (Jagjaguwar group at Last.fm). In September 2007 the group celebrated 10 years of existence with a concert at the P.S. 1 Contemporary Art Center in NYC.

Missill - Targets {2008}

MiSSiLL - DJ, graphic designer, graffiti writer, producer, terrorist of all kind and Missill, “the urban punk”, is here to destroy all those readymade ideas you might have about DJing.Her style was described in the UK’s M8 Magazine as a “sense-shredding orgy of hiphop, grime, ragga, dancehall, breaks and electro”. Her passion for all things hip hop (she is a jack of all trades dabbling in graffiti, graphic designs, production, her own clothes designs and the list goes on) translated through her fingertips and energy fuels to an ever mesmerised crowd. Having burst onto the global scene with her amazing performances and the release of her debut mix-compilation, ’Mash Up’ (released by Discograph) featuring 24 tracks in under an hour of party-kicking mayhem.


Missill spent the last years playing at every major French festival, and countless European festivals alongside the likes of Horace Andy, Coldcut, Laurent Garnier, RZA, Afrika Bambaataa, Supergrass, DJ Premier, Carl Craig, Gang of Four and many others. Her sound is so versatile that she can fit happily between all types of acts and it is this versatility that saw her entertaining crowds of up to 15,000 in 2005 and 2006 and playing in some of the biggest European clubs, festivals and doing tours all over the world (in over 25 countries across the 5 continents) where she has really made her mark thanks to her innovative and dynamic style. The sounds she uses are fresh, the mixes are original and beware, her boundless energy is contagious.

KANKA

Kanka is a French dub producer and multi-instrumentalist player: he plays drums, percussions, keyboard, bass, and machines.
He began his musical career in 1997 by integrating the reggae band King Riddim. With this band, he releases an album in year 2000. Then he promotes the album and participates to 200 concerts everywhere in France.
In parallel to the band, Kanka decides to play dub music. To become dub producer.
In year 2003, he releases a first album, Every Night’s Dub. This album is a self production and will never be distributed on a large scale. This one marks however an interesting collaboration with the vocalist Mc Olivia (from the BLACKBOARD JUNGLE SOUND SYSTEM). The album especially enables him to take part in many compilation in France and Europe.
His name and his music were heard and the French dub label Hammerbass which closely watch his productions makes it sign afterwards. In year 2005, the album Don’t Stop Dub is released.
In this album, the sound of Kanka is oriented “stepper”, influenced by the British and Jamaican dub music but with a very dynamic rhythmic and a heavyweight bass line. Mc Oliva is still present but the British toaster Brother Culture, from the Manasseh Sound System, takes part in the album too. The forceful of the Kanka’s music is also in the power of the vocal.
Kanka continues his work with the band King Riddim and another album is published in 2006.
This same year, Kanka proposes his third album, Alert! The bases of the stepper are reinforced, the bass line is still so heavy and also a lot of the hypnotic sounds appear and traverse the album as a whole. In this last album, the sound is a little bit more electronic.
