.: Shut up about 9\11 .. unless you are KRS1


Video Link



In this video interview from WeAreChange, hip-hop legend KRS-1 expounds on 9/11, asking why the Zadroga Act isn’t providing more medical coverage for first responders, explaining how his South Bronx roots informed his experience and feelings about the day’s tragic events, and discussing his and other rappers’ skepticism of the mainstream media and its official take on the attacks. “I’ve been criticized in the past for not being as sensitive as I probably should be to the event itself, and that’s warranted,” he says. “I slept in the World Trade Center when I was homeless, back in ’83 to ’85…to the hood, the Trade Center looked like two horns in the sky. We didn’t have nothing to do with that building. We know that the wealth of the people was getting sucked into them two towers. That’s what we know”

.: Infinite Stripper Pole

Diplo.
This boy can do no wrong!
It seems every project he has a hand in goes gold like Midas.
This is a bit NSFW, but a brilliant music video - good simple concept - and perfectly done.
Most importantly, big ups to all the strippers - all around the world.

.: Warrior Rituals EP




Arm yourselves with more of my unreleased techno tracks.
These were, pretty much, made by me - for me - to spin at outdoor techno parties, back in the day. [more about that soon - stay posted]

'Warrior Ritual', has been lying around in both it's forms for a while now, only seeing the light of day in Dj Manson sets, or on the occasional Cd I would burn to give away.

It sounds pretty good after 10 years of cellaring. -even if it was made using Fruity Loops 3, - and the remix is pretty much the same track 3 years later, just fed through my Micromoog - [in maximum tweakage mode]

The Micromoog is a raspy, brash analog mono-synth, like a meaner, black vinyl, trailer-trash cousin of the Minimoog .
I received as a gift, from a homeless man, who I met whilst sleeping out in a park - in Fitzroy, [This must have been around summer 95/96, on a Vibetribe 'road trip']
We got to talking about music. I think he used to do prog rock? He told me his bitch ex-wife had a garage full of his old synths. and if I came backto the park, the next day, same time - he would have something for me.
And he did. :]

True story.
Great synth.

Audiotool is an online app / software environment, has a great array of effective and intuitive sound generators and access to a massive community library of samples other people have uploaded and made freely available with CC licences. If you can already sample and loop, then just upload away, and add your own loops to the Audiotool preset banks in the 'Cloud'.
Soon other people will be using your sounds in their tunes and you will get a contributing production credit, on the tracks they publish.
Like this amazing song below [not mine], somewhere it uses a little Juno sample I made.
