STEVE SPACEK - LET THE DOLLAR CIRCULATE (2005)

I have a bunch of new records that I want to get deeper into and maybe write some lines on this blog about. But, when I woke up this morning with a semi-hangover from yesterdays hockeygame I just felt to put this record on and drink my morning coffee in peace. This is one of those records you'll never regret that you bought.

It's just so clever, the dirty sound of the Dilla prod. and Steve's voice touching the beat in such a sensitive way. With a voice like he was smoking a package of Lucky Strike before he was entering the studio that morning.

Unfortunately spacek did'nt reach the same level with his later stuff, but they're OK so check it out if you have'nt.

I doubt that someone interested in this blog dont know the song but I put a link to a sound sample anyway, so you can remember how it was, back in 2005.

MOMENTAN - DIE STADTKINDER VOM LANDEI (2007)

The German people! Don't they have some things in common with the people from Japan? At least when it comes to vinyl and hiphop and maybe some other stuff, not suitable to mention here, hehe. If you ask me, Germany is (together with France), europe's metropol of hiphop as much as Japan is in asia.

So, what we have here may be the best of both worlds, this record from a group called "Momentan" based in Cologne in southern germany and released on Goon trax from Japan! I dont really understand the language except in the song "Dare" where Rakaa from Dilated Peoples drop some bars. But it's a worthy pick up anyway, worth every £!

The beats though, is fantastic, made by the german producer "The Saint" who seems to have alot going on theese days. I can highly recommend you to check some more of his work out if you like this. Pure soulful beats!

Listen also to the track "Going Back" on their myspace, it's sooo good!

PAT D & LADY PARADOX - STEP OFF/TICK OF TIME (2008)

British rap, how can't you love it? Correct me if i'm wrong but I think this is the first female MC havin' a record posted on this blog. And she deserves all attention she can get, not because she's a girl, but because she's an uplifting wave with fresh topics on the dead toxic sea, called hiphop 2008.

The beats, the beats! Made by a producer called "Pat D", who's also from the island in the west. Great soulfull sound. It gives me that old feeling back, you know before serato, ipods and other things from hell. I really recommend you to give the label, "A bridge too far", a virtual visit and listen to the tracks under "music".

The record is released on the classic japaneese label "P-vine", just like we thought.

If you like this you should check out their full lenght album called; Kind of Peace!

RIP ONE - EPITOME EP 2 (2008)

Long time no blog, but new records! Here is a new release on the japaneese label Subcontact, that I want you to take a closer look at. Rip one has release two EP's containing most of the songs from his full lengt album "Epitome" wich, during to wikipedia, means a later author reproducing older material that's gone lost over the years. The title is a statement.

The sound is jazzy, with some salsa and breakbeat influences on some tracks, Rip has also got some help from some eccelent Mc's. They are new to me, and i will keep an ear on their work in the future!
