It is fly

A few weeks ago I posted a mix by FS Green for Soulbounce Presents The Mixologists. This month it's Full Crate's turn with his musical interpretation of wintertime.

It's funny that my favourite Dutch DJ's/producers start this season series. I wonder who will be dropping the next mix..

What's the scenario?

A Tribe Called Quest live on stage at The Knitting Factory on January 20th this year. They should bring out an album again. This sh** is crazy!

I want one

Yesterday I was on Twitter and saw a tweet from my homie DJ Syte that simply said "I want one" with just a link included. It made me curious and this is what I found out. Thanks Syte, for keeping me updated!

"Madlib Medicine Show No. 1 will be released on limited-edition vinyl, each hand-screened by the printing crew Hit+Run with artwork from Stones Throw's Jeff Jank (if you visit his site, point your mouse at one of the cat's eyes) and illustrator Gustavo Eandi."

Sorry, no time to talk

Internet is still dead at home. I had no chance nor the time to update. So with no further ado, check out Full Crate & Mar's EP Conversations With Her. It's out since last Saturday and on repeat on any of my players ever since. At first I was a little disappointed that it consists of only five tracks. On the other hand, it's an EP. I'm being greedy. I just want more of this stuff, haha.

You can buy Conversations With Her online on Beatport and iTunes. All tracks are also on 22 Tracks to listen to.

Bounce to this

Before I published this post I didn't even check whether The Mixologists: FS Green was good or not. I just know it's dope.

SoulBounce is posting up a serie of mixes that go by the name The Mixologists. The honor to kick off this year goes to one of my favourite Dutch producers/DJ's FS Green. The reason that makes it more special is that a track of my homie Henning is also on it.

Don't hate.. Collaborate

Henning and Jeejaa, also beatcreators/producers, also from Arnhem. I know this guys for a while now and we talked about working together for a long time. Last week we finally did a collabo. After a short session we decided to continue to collaborate, so keep your ears open for one or more productions. I'll keep you posted.

For 2010 you can expect some Jeejaa productions. Henning is on 22 Tracks now. You should check out his 2009 EP Dejima. He's working on some new stuff as we speak. And I will drop a beattape. Soon more updates and info.

Timeless message

In 1969, a 14-year-old Beatles fanatic named Jerry Levitan, armed with a reel-to-reel tape deck, snuck into John Lennon's hotel room in Toronto and convinced John to do an interview about peace. 38 years later, Jerry has produced this short film about it.

I Met The Walrus is still one of my favourite short films. Don't get distracted by the dope animation. Listen to the message. Word!

'Cause it's called a promo film

In exactly one week (January 8th) the Conversations With Her EP from Full Crate & Mar will be dropped. I know, I've been talking about it like craaazyyy. It's because I really can relate to Full Crate's music. Same goes for the choice of women in his vids. I don't understand a thing she's saying, but I like to have a conversation with her!
