EDISON – MUSIC MADE WITH BUTTONS 2.0 – LIVE ON THE MONOME

Man these monome things still boggle my mind. I understand the instrument itself – however, how can you remember what’s on each button? Shit, I can barely remember whats on the 16 pads of the MPC! Edison makes it look incredibly easy, as this video was made in one take with the audio fed directly into the camera. Quite amazing. Edison was recently signed to Egadz’ Kid Without Radio Record Label, and has a new album coming out on December 22nd. You can check out more info on Edison here or pre-purchase an advanced copy of his album here.

SPANK POPS

Peas porridge in the pot… 9 days old! My bad y’all! My man Tap from the infamous Honor Roll collective sent this to me 9 days ago & I got caught up, thus, not puttin it up til now. ANYWAYS… ‘Beautiful Noise’ is the first single and title track from Spank Pops‘ new Ep coming out on Hella Records November 3rd, 2009.

San Francisco bred emcee Spank Pops & beatmaker Doctor J integrate for the rapper’s latest project, the 7 track EP ‘Beautiful Noise’ (Hella Records). Doctor J’s proficiency on the MPC provide the ideal backdrop for Spank’s cadent lyricism (“I love a beat that’s not for beginners”, he declares on the bouncy/off-beat “Why I Do This”). The pair are joined by Spank’s fellow Honor Roll crew members Trackademicks, Mike Baker the Bike Maker, Josie Stingray, and 1-O.A.K., all recognized Bay Area artists as well. If the golden age of hip-hop is where your heart resides, stay wise & do not miss this EP.
