BLAKROC & DD172….

As the recent publicity surrounding Mos Def, Jay Electronica and Curren$y‘s collaborative-side-group Center Edge Territory reached a feverish pitch in the viral music world, questions arose around the studio where said collaboration and countless other secret musical rendezvous are rumored to have occurred. Alas, Mr. Damon Dash, a very familiar face in the trend-setting music mogul world has been behind it all, providing artists with the DD172 space in Tribeca. DD172 seems to be a new hot-spot for brainstorming sessions, musical vanguard, and almost certainly a long, raucous line of eager artists wanting in to create their own masterpieces. For this is how musicians work. We are historians at heart, purists of our art form, and suckers for atmospheres where our creativity can flow at ease. Dash and DD172 have recently partnered up with rock group The Black Keys and artists like Mos Def, Zoe Kravitz, Raekwon, ODB, RZA, Ludacris, Pharoahe Monch, Billy Danze of M.O.P., Om’Mas Keith of Sa-Ra, Tash and more, to create the BlakRoc project, of which we recently posted a video clip on the site. Chicago-bred video mavens Coodie & Chike have spearheaded the coverage of the project as well as Creative Control. Pretty much a creative mash of great proportions! We’ll see what fruitful creations come from this space in the future, but one thing is presently sure: the future is bright for ideas of this magnitude, and I hope it spurs more individuals to create workspaces and projects similar to this one. Great music!

Now peep this…

The world moves faster than ever these days, and even in the digital age, things can always be counted on to go in cycles.  Despite all of the advances in computer recording technology, home studios, and electronic instruments, there is a flourishing interest in analog recording techniques and in recreating the mood and sound of vintage soul records.  With one foot in the past but their eyes firmly set on the future, El Michels Affair are among the leaders of a resurgent funk & soul movement from New York City that’s sweeping both the music community and the charts.

Led by saxophonist/organist Leon Michels and producer/engineer Jeff Silverman, El Michels Affair began as a loose collaboration of session musicians (including members of top-selling acts Sharon Jones & the Dap Kings, The Budos Band, and Antibalas) that looked to blend some of the vibrant quality of soundtrack records with the recording aesthetic of early reggae, and the rawness of 60′s rock–they called it ‘Cinematic Soul.’  This delicate balance was evident on their 2005 debut album Sounding Out the City, which earned critical acclaim and acted as the inaugural full-length release for Michels and Silverman’s burgeoning label Truth & Soul (also the moniker for the duo as a production team).

DERT x BJORK = NEW SCHITT COMING FOR DAT AZZ!!

Blind I fave, DERT has done it again! If you recall his last beat tape Dert Floyd – The Westside Of The Moon (inspired by Pink Floyd) then you will NOT be disappointed with his latest beat tape installment entitled Talk Strange (inspired by Bjork). Remember RZA’s line about …”talk strange like Bjork” ? well… yeah… there’s the title! For those who are familiar with Bjork & those who produce, You know how it’s not the easiest task of chopping up some Bjork or let alone doing it justice. Dert is able to do just that and more on this project. $ & I have been blessed to hear this project prior to it’s scheduled release for New Years Day (Janurary 1st 2009)

BILL MUTHAFUCKIN MURRAY!

One of the best scenes in movie history IMO. Wu Tang’s RZA & GZA encounter Bill Murrary hiding out as a waiter in a dinner. If you have yet to see the film Coffee & Cigarettes (2003), I highly recommend you Netflix it now!

CELEBRITIES AND TECHNOLOGY YOU MAY NOT KNOW ABOUT

Isn’t it interesting that Hammer had started his own website that acts as an online encyclopedia for dancing. DanceJam.com.  Did you also know that Will Farrell is a co-founder of www.funnyordie.com.  It seems that with the advent of rappers to actors and actors to rappers, being into some type of technology is the next best thing. Being that I sit in the middle of the silly-con valley and am up on all that technology type stuff. I thought maybe it would be interesting to bust out a few more celebrities that have tried the website startup thing. From 50 cent to Ashton Kutcher lets see who really knows wassup…
