People Under The Stairs - Trippin At The Disco

People Under The Stairs - Trippin At The Disco

Great video. PUTS come correct as always. Thanks to Manos for the link.

In March of 1980 two young rappers from los angeles appeared on the "Chikara Kurahashi Hit Station" variety show in Tokyo. It was the first time rap music had ever been performed in Asia and here is the lost tape of that performance. Enjoy this lost performance transferred from Beta - People Under The Stairs "Trippin' at the Disco"

Busy Signal smashes this track alongside legend Marcia Griffiths. For me it's all about Busy on this one.

Dear Whitn3y, I hear ya and I feel ya on this one. Even though you take a monstrous bite off L0leatta H0ll0way's "We're Getting Stronger" you updated it nice and I'm not mad at that. I can feel your truth in this song and it's a beautiful thing. Welcome back. You smashed it.

Thanks to Alicia K3ys (who wrote this track) and Swizz Beats (producer) Whitn3y is back in a big way. Listen and agree. Yey I said it: agree (Pharoahe Monch).

R.I.P. Roc Raida - Body Tricks Video - why he was a legend

Roc Raida says "This is a secret. I shouldn't even be telling you fckin guys this. But this is a secret. I shouldn't be fckin telling anyone about this one." - Roc Raida giving up body tricks secrets.

Every DJ attempted to do body tricks, but no one could do them like Roc Raida. Watch and learn.

Every DJ who ever touched turntables always attempted the same thing first: scratching. Scratching, which was invented by Grandwizard Theodore, is probably still the primary reason a lot of DJs start DJ'ing at all. It was in the early 90's that scratching and the scratch community really started to grow. Fuelled by 5th generation dubs of legendary DJ Battles - NME, Superman, DMC - and featured on jazz records like Herbie Hancock "Rockit" and taken around the world with the likes of Jam Master Jay (RIP JMJ) on a world stage with RUN DMC, scratching birthed sons and daughters who would push it to heights unknown. These sons and daughters formed crews, and one of these crews belonged to Roc Raida - X-Men.

Roc Raida and the X-Men were legends and pioneers of the scratch. One of the catalysts for the explosion of scratching was the invention of the flare, by non other than DJ Flare. It was a method of reversing the crossfader action so that the sound would be open at start and closed in the middle and open again at the end. It was a reversal of the transformer (which was invented by DJ Jazzy Jeff) which started with the crossfader closed and open and closed in rhythm to the beat. For those who are still confused, the transformer played on the beat while the flare played in between the beat (like half notes). Simply the flare was a revelation which revolutionized the game. For all the advances the flare introduced, there was probably one other that ultimately pushed scratching and beat juggling to the mainstream: body tricks.

Body tricks were initially seen as a gimmick, a trick to to play to the masses and the audiences of lesser knowledge to gain their favour and support during head to head battles like the ITF's. There was an almost east coast/west coast rivalry that grew out of the body tricks debate. Crews on the west coast like Invisible Skratch Piklz claimed the "keep it real" tag and resorted to improving existing scratches while creating new ones for everyone to bite. Crews on the east coast like X-Men saw body tricks as an art, a skill that you had to work on for years just like you had to with your scratching. It was the next level in turntablism and it was warmly embraced by Roc Raida and fam. X-Men saw the full potential of body tricks and came up with the sickest body tricks routines and dared anyone to try to make a fool out of them.

I can remember every single DJ trying to do the back to back doubles body trick that Roc Raida made famous. In the middle of a DMC style routine Raida would lean into the mixer and send the crossfader over with his shoulder, as a warm up to his ace: the Roc Raida bodyroll (I don't know if his trick had an official name). Raida would put his back on the crossfader and throw his hands over the opposite shoulder (eg right hand over the left shoulder) and rock back to back while controlling the crossfader with his back and manipulating the records with his hands. It was unreal! Beat juggling was one thing, but beat juggling with body tricks - THAT body trick - was absolutely mind blowing. He didn't fck up, he didn't miss a beat, and most of all he mad it LOOK easy. Every DJ who ever saw Roc Raida do that went home that very same night and attempt it at home. That is why he is one of the all time greats in the DJ community. If you haven't watch the video yet, you will get to see him throw all his body tricks into a full routine. Sick. Can't believe we just lost him.

R.I.P. GRANDMASTER ROC RAIDA. A true pioneer, icon, legend, comedian. There'll be no other. Long live body tricks!

Not only is Del and Tame One back, but hip hop is back in 2009. Take a trip down memory lane as Del and Tame One wax poetic on the the history of hip hop, music, icons, g.o.a.t.s., culture, politics, arts, fashion, childhood - everything. Song's pretty dope (maybe a min too long) and I'm falling back in love with hip hop this year.

BIO:

TEKNIQUE The Kingpin was born to entertain. Born into the vibrant streets of Toronto, Canada in the 70s, Teknique became engulfed into the hip-hop culture. Raised in a Caribbean household, he was exposed all types of urban music from gospel to reggae. His family was heavily involved in entertainment. His mother was an established well-known gospel singer in the Caribbean and his brother was a local MC and aspiring DJ that surrounded him with the hip-hop culture on a daily basis. But it was the day that he heard The Show by Doug E. Fresh and Slick Rick that change his life and love for the culture forever. At this time, Teknique still balances all of his talents with accuracy. You can now catch him hypin up a club as a club MC, grooving a crowd as a DJ, or throwing down the hottest tunes on his series of mixtape-style CDs. Knowing all aspects of urban entertainment, Teknique is poised to continue his reign as THE KINGPIN.

DJ MATEO - C'est Tres Bon

About:

I made this mix for those sunny days chillin poolside or lounging on the yacht, not a worry on your mind, life is good. Chicken is on the grill and you’re sipping on some San Pellegrino. Girls in bikinis lying on a grassy knoll type shit. It features some amazing producers local and international; whose music keeps life peachy. I kept it simple and unpretentious, that’s the name of the game, as far as I’m concerned. The mix was recorded live using 2 Technics turntables and a Pioneer DJM909 mixer.

DJ MATEO
BIO

Don’t get it twisted; this young gun is no newcomer to DJ'ing. '99 marked the year Matéo would acquire his first pair of turntables. It wouldn’t be long before he would be found sneaking underage into the Vancouver nightclubs, playing breaks with some of the most talented DJs Vancouver had to offer. As the years went on, he continued to play at numerous venues across Vancouver dropping everything from funk to dubstep.

The secret to success? Playing what you like! For Matéo, acknowledging that music doesn’t have to be the “latest and greatest” in order to have dance floor appeal is key. Inspired by those who did it first, Matéo continues to seamlessly blend genres from across the musical spectrum, educating and nourishing the dance floor at the same damn time.

RIP DJ AM. This song's for you.

Antony and the Johnsons - Another World (mediafire)

This is has been a seriously crazy year. Do they have a year of the devil in the horror-scopes? Cause it doesn't seem real. News reached that DJ AM has passed. After escaping death and surviving a plane crash earlier this year this is the last thing anyone expected. While still unconfirmed, it has not been shown to be false either. RIP DJ AM. This songs for you.

This is DJ AM's last tweet from 3 days ago. Hella eerie. Prayers and condolences for DJ AM's family and the entire DJ community.

DJ AM Dies

Law enforcement sources tell us DJ AM -- also known as Adam Goldstein -- was found dead this afternoon in New York City.

Sources tell us he was found in his apartment at around 5:20 PM. We're told drug paraphernalia was found at the scene.

Our sources say DJ AM had not been seen or heard from for a few days -- one of his friends went to check on him, but got no response after knocking on his apartment door.

We're told the friend called the cops -- but it was the fire department who finally entered his apartment and found the body.

Back in September of 2008, DJ AM and Travis Barker survived a plane crash in South Carolina. Four people died in the crash -- which was caused when the airplane aborted takeoff and then ran off the runway. DJ AM and Barker were the only survivors.

Skratch Bastid - 110% Tour - Party Tonight. Mixtape and Videos Inside

Ladies and gentleman. The Night You Have All Been Waiting 4...

It’s finally here! Skratch Bastid “110%” mix + James Brown routine video

Here it is. The mix you’ve all been waiting for! In the vein of my two most recent mixes, “Get Up!” & “Satisfaction Guaranteed”, I’ve put together a 60+ minute mix of hip-hop, disco, dancehall and all things funky: a sure shot from start to finish. “110%” gives you just that; squeezing in more energy than humanly possible into the tightest collection of mixes the Bastid can bring. Fresh for summer ‘09.

Contained within are my 3 most recent remixes (Wale f/Lady Gaga, Ciara & Justin Timberlake, Major Lazer f/Santigold and Mr. Lexx) as well as plenty of new routines; 3 of which I have filmed live footage for. The first one I am releasing is posted below: my James Brown “I Got You (I Feel Good)” routine. This is one of the highlights of my mix! Pass it along and tell a friend. And make sure to check out the track list. But above all, make sure you have a listen. The devil is in the details.

For this mix, I have decided to post it up for download at 192 kbps. Since the days of cassette mixtapes, I’ve always been releasing and selling my mixes as a way of funding my record collection and giving me resources to make more mixes. I am still releasing full quality (WAV) mix CDs for all my listeners wanting the best sounding mix to bump in your car or at home. But let’s face it: any music geek with mild google skills (I’m looking at you) can find my releases online at foreign country blogs or on torrents. I’d rather you come to me for my stuff, right? So. I’m giving you the option to donate if you feel you would like to pay for my mix. Any amount you like, via paypal. You don’t have to, but it would be nice! I work really hard on these things, and it goes towards helping me purchase music and find the time to make more mixes. Here are your options:

1) Grab the new 110% CD at the store. All orders will be processed that day and shipped out ASAP. Check the rest of the store for more Bastid goodies.

2) Download the 110% mix. And feel free to donate. Heeeere’s the button:

…And here’s the video:

A BIIIG ‘Thank You’ goes out to everyone who continues to support my CDs, mixes, production and shows. Thanks for checking in and ENJOY THE MIX!!!!

DJ KIDD
http://myspace.com/djkidd514 | http://myspace.com/boilermakerbrothers

DJ Kidd (Casey Gunning) has grown up listening to all types of music thanks to his musical family of drummers, songwriters and guitarists. He’s been rocking clubs and parties for over 10 years in Montreal. In 2000 he started one of the most talked about club nights in Canada, Tokyo Sundays. It’s been voted best club night in Montreal and has been a consistent success for the last 7 years in Montreal. Maxim magazine has given massive acclaim to Tokyo Sundays as one of the best club nights in North America.

Kidd has opened for artists such as Sean Paul, Questlove from The Roots, DJ Numark, and Jin. He likes to mix it up with reggae, hip-hop, funk, disco, classic house, old school, and anything else that rocks the crowd. You can catch him holding down a strictly dancehall party on one night and rip up a funk jam on the next. He is known for his versatility and is credited as one of the most adaptable party rockers in Canada.

DJ AREMS

Born and raised in Vancouver DJ Arems started off as a battle DJ at the age of 15 but soon got into party rocking and made his club debut at the age of 18 in Victoria under the eye of Vancouver Island legend Degree One. Always a fan of Funk, R&B, Soul and True School Hip Hop, Arems soon became addicted to Reggae and Dancehall which heavily influenced his style of play and changed his musical repertoire. In 2002 he helped form the Faction Sound Crew out of Vancouver. The Team (DJs Tanner, Akshun, Arems and Hype Man Trigga) set their sights on destroying dance floors at any club they played, as well a releasing a flurry of mixtapes along the way. In 2008, Arems was voted Vancouver's Top DJ for his DJ skills and club rocking abilities by Canada’s Top DJ Awards – the Stylus DJ Awards.

Garnering universal respect from peers is not common for DJs-cum-producers. U-Tern somehow managed it, and a reputation is steadily building for this humble Vancouverite. Spreading his obvious infatuation for all things music through his blog and weekly radio show, U-Tern is one of those individuals whose passion and drive are enviable. All that is secondary though: immaculate, charming disco-funk tracks are the standout here. U-Tern’s use of real instruments and his exceptional production chops translate into truly authentic pieces of music striking that balance between nostalgia and the 21st century.

U-Tern "Body Work: Volume 1"
It's been over a year since I released this mix and all the CD's are gone, so I figured I'd share it with those of you that didn't get a copy. It's a 60 track mix of various Boogie, Disco, Electro and other funky oldschool tracks with plenty of edits, blends, sound FX and vocal dubs.

DJ PUMP "Sevonte Swang"
his is a mix i put together that features some of my personal favorite tracks from the early 80’s club/dance era. You may call it funk, boogie, disco or whatever you prefer. It’s good music for your listening pleasure. Enjoy :)
