It’s been sooo long since i’ve recorded a DJ mix, i’d like to say its 100 per cent due to the fact that i’ve been so focused on production side of things over the past year but I think there has been at least 10 per cent laziness involved! Anyway here is a new mix for download via the soundcloud thingy below.
Its unrehearsed thrown together very loosely, I just grabbed whatever tunes I found in my disorganised record collection plus some stuff through traktor at the end. As it turned out it kinda follows a theme of some of my fave songs/producers that made me fall in love with hip hop back in the day when i was a teenager!
Time for an update, way too lazy of late, on the blog posts that is. I’ve been super busy in the studio lately working hard on the new pez record, writing for a yet to be named project with a singer who lives Berlin via Melbourne, ghost writing rap songs for AFL commentators with Seth sentry, and mixing an album for sydney hip hop group Mind Over Matter…. So yeah, busy but good busy.
Anyway will have some more pez updates soon so keep checking back, the album is shaping up quite nicely it’s really exciting.
PS if you haven’t already go grab a copy of Bliss n Eso’s magnum opus ‘Running on Air’ it features production from yours truly and my buddies mr phazes and is executive produced by the mysterious legend Hattori Hunzo.
It’s a banging album.
Since this photo was taken a lot has happened. Pez and I are knee deep writing his next record so I thought I’d quickly reflect on the past. I’m sure that once this new record is completed I’m gonna have a lot of new stories to tell! 2008 and especially 2009 were massive for both Pez and myself, with the release of his debut record “A Mind of My Own” (it was also my first major release). “The Festival Song” went to radio and quickly attracted a lot of attention, was a “most requested” song on JJJ and was downloaded 30,000+ times from the their website. I am very grateful for the way in which people connected with it and embraced it as a bit of a summer anthem. It laid a great foundation for Pez as a new artist. We’ve developed a lot since then, which we’re excited to share with the release of the upcoming album. Read the rest of this entry »

These guys are one of the main reasons I got into hip hop, for any young producers out there that aren’t that familiar look up the records these guys produced… it’s amazing the influence they had on hip hop in the 90′s.
A prime example would be… imagine Nas’ classic debut without N.Y. State of Mind (premo) or The World Is Yours (Pete Rock).. the album just wouldn’t have been the same..
This is a promo for the next installment of the Beat Invitational (head here for more details), it features one of the beats I played live @ the last invitational!
I was going to post the film clip for “Full Clip”, one of my favourite gangstarr songs.. but I remembered that this video was the catalyst for me getting into gangstarr and ultimately hip hop in the first place.
It’s Josh Kalis’ part from the 2003 DC skate video, I used to watch this video with my brother religiously and the more I watched the more I fell in love with this song. In my view its the perfect marriage of skate and hip hop culture.
Been a bit slow posting lately, been quite busy in the studio… and drinking coffee.. more updates coming soon in regards to pez’s upcoming LP and also Seth Sentry..
Anyway here is a new mix for download via the soundcloud thingy below.
