'The Loops' is raw and dusty Hip-Hop served straight-up with no frills or pretense from two Massachusetts natives—rapper/producer, Louie Gonz and producer/turntablist, DJ Manipulator—who have both been putting in work for years. It’s the type of record that would sound right at home alongside your favorite releases from the Alchemist, Oh No, or Roc Marciano, artists who know a thing or two about creating Hip-Hop in its grittiest form. 

The album’s strengths are evident right out the gate on opener, “All Hail,” a menacing slapper driven by Manipulator’s crazy sample flips and Gonz’s no-bullsh*t bars. It sets the perfect tone for listening to The Loops straight through. But also because you’ll hear quotables worth scribbling down in your notepad, like “I feel like Nas in ‘96 with the half-moon” or “You messin’ with a heavyweight/ Betta get it straight/ Five seconds ‘til I detonate/ The whole entire buildin’, streets about to levitate.”

Of course, none of this comes as a surprise to fans of Manipulator and Gonz, who previously released 'Private Stock' in 2014 and were once part of the crew Kinda Dusty. Although the group’s members went their separate ways, the two obviously kept in touch and continued working on music together.

“With this release, Louie and I want to reintroduce ourselves as a duo,” Manipulator explains. “It’s been awhile since our last effort and we’ve both grown musically. We’re at a point in our careers where we’re focused more then ever.”

That focus remains steady throughout the record, whether Gonz is attacking the mic solo or trading verses with like-minded emcees. Those guests include Blu on “This Sound” and William Hurtz on the closing track “Lean,” both instant standouts that stick with you once the album ends. And given its brief running time, don’t be surprised if you hit that repeat button—or, pardon the pun, keep it on a constant loop.

'The Loops' is now available via Bandcamp and all major digital outlets and streaming platforms, via Music Is My Message/Speak Up Ent.

Massachusetts beat smith, DJ Manipulator, returns with a quick bevy of pavement pounders from his library of instrumentals. Back in May (2015), he blessed the world with Studio Kinda Dusty 2, a mix of hard to find grooves that have become favorites as he’s spent time digging around in various crates over the years. This time, he’s back in producer-mode, providing ample backdrop for those that love a rapper-less instrumental or even that aspiring local or well-known artist that’s looking for their chops. 
This offering finds DJ Manipulator in proper form with the single, “SOUL!!!”. Some fans may find the up-tempo rhythm of this track very different from music trends in music production these days. Clearly that’s the goal as he tosses the flat, stock sounding drums talentless keyboard playing for reimagining songs and sounds of yesteryear in a way where you MIGHT recognize it enough to bring up fond memories but the thump of his drum kits pounding in your ears bring you sailing back to the present day. It might even leave you wishing those that DID rap actually went back to writing true to heart stories instead of whatever it is that they do nowadays. But for what it’s worth, Manipulator’s beats do more story-telling than most rappers these days could boast about even if they had help. It’s all comes back to how well it connects with you. Words distort; music touches. 
At any rate, 15 Minutes of Madness is exactly that… a sometimes soulful and at other times grimy barrage of soundscapes that transport you to places you’ve once been and to others you will go one day; whether you like to or not. That’s life… and this quick mix of original music translates it beautifully. For those of you that are left fishing around for “more of that”… he’s got plenty more where that came from.

DJ MANIPULATOR - THIRD EYE VISION MIX

Massachusetts native DJ Manipulator made some noise this year after supplying D.I.T.C. with two bangers on their latest LP, D.I.T.C. Studios, and he’s continuing his winning streak this year with a grimy new single, “2 Drums,” featuring rugged New York spitter, Conway The Machine.

As the track’s title implies, there’s more to “2 Drums” than a single presentation of sounds. That’s because Manipulator switches up the beat halfway through, providing listeners with a double-dose of slappers that’s likely to snap some necks. And if they don’t, he can rely on Conway to take on the role of a bruiser and cause some grave damage to anyone frontin’: “I’m the ni**a who you gotta watch how you speak to/ Break ni**as’ jaws, through a straw he gotta eat soup.”

“2 Drums” is but a mere sampling of what Manipulator has in store for Hip-Hop heads in the next few months. That’s because the track serves as the first single off his forthcoming debut album, 'Stranger Than Paradise,' which is set to drop in early ’17. Until then, you can keep “2 Drums” on repeat, but be careful: it may cause you to bare a permanent screw face.

“2 Drums” is now available through all major digital retailers and streaming platforms, via Backcourt Records.

Stranger Than Paradise

DJ Manipulator (feat. Conway) - 2 Drums

With his expertly crafted and all-vinyl new mix, Massachusetts-based deejay/producer DJ Manipulator shows love to the genre that birthed Hip-Hop as we know it. 'Jazz Is Everything' is thirty music-packed minutes of Jazz cuts that later served as the inspiration (and backbone) of a bevy of classic rap joints.

From start to finish, Manip uses 'Jazz Is Everything' to drive home the point that Jazz is indeed damn-near everything. That’s because all of the material on here have been sampled in one way or another (and often multiple times) to create the instrumentals of so many beloved songs. And those songs run the gamut from De La Soul’s “Stakes Is High,” to Method Man & Redman’s “Maaad Crew,” to Gang Starr’s “ALONGWAYTOGO.”

The end result is a wonderfully mixed tip of the hat to both the original artists (including Herbie Hancock, Quincy Jones, and Stevie Wonder) and the hip-hop legends who sampled them (including J Dilla, Pete Rock, and Clark Kent). It also helps to educate younger listeners just getting into Hip-Hop—and hopefully Jazz, too—and those older heads just looking for something smooth to listen to this weekend.

DJ Manipulator dropped his latest original music, the Conway-featured burner “2 Drums,” this past fall. Expect more from the deejay/producer in the coming months, but until then, kick back with this funky and, of course, jazzy mix.

Jazz Is Everything (Mix)

With their highly anticipated new album 'The Loops' coming very soon, the Massachusetts-based duo of DJ Manipulator and Louie Gonz delivers an appetizer in the form of “This Sound.” It’s a raw and addictive collaboration with West Coast heavy-hitter Blu, who’s further cementing his status as one of the best guest vocalists in the game.
 
Before the Los Angeles emcee takes the mic, however, we’re treated to the talents of Manipulator and Gonz. The two have recorded together in various fashions over the years, and released the album Private Stock in 2014. But consider 'The Loops' a reintroduction—and a damn fine one at that.
 
The entire album’s fueled by tracks like “This Sound,” which showcases Manipulator’s ridiculous sample flips and loops fronted by Gonz’s immaculate rhymes. And this is evident immediately, with the emcee opening the track with: “Ayo, my pockets gettin’ fat/ Yours? Lookin’ like a diet/ I stay on my hustle, man/ Don’t knock it ‘til you try it/ Brother stays covered with gold, I’m like a pirate/ You a giant? You could say I’m David to Goliath.” The quotables continue piling up from there, to the point you won’t think twice when you hear Gonz proclaim that he and Manipulator are taking over this rap thing.
 
You can hear “This Sound” now. 'The Loops' is due out June 9 and will be available on all major streaming services and digital retailers.

• Bandcamp: http://bit.ly/BandcampTheLoops

DJ Manipulator and Louie Gonz deliver some real villainous boom bap with their latest single, “Rated R,” which features the rapping half of the duo going toe-to-toe with his guest emcee, Lil Eto.
 
Backed by Manipulator’s filthy instrumental, Gonz and Eto team up for a lyrical tag-team cage match. Except instead of knocking their opponents around with steel chairs and throwing them through tables, the two rappers spit verbal darts filled with slick cultural references and plenty of braggadocio.
 
For Gonz, that means threatening his enemies with the brute strength of Charles Oakley, while also dusting off his shoulder in a breakout performance like Dallas Cowboys’ QB Dak Prescott. And when he hands the microphone to Eto, the Rochester spitter takes over by rhyming through his teeth and making it clear that he “would hate to take it back to the Marcberg days.” 
 
“Rated R” is pure bad-guy music, and it’s one hell of a reintroduction to the duo of Manipulator and Gonz. Their new collaborative album, 'The Loops,' was recently released, and you can find it on all major digital retailers and streaming platforms.

The Massachusetts-based duo of DJ Manipulator and Louie Gonz return with the striking visuals for “Forward,” an emotionally gripping and soulful cut off their notable joint project, 'The Loops.'

Backed by Manipulator’s meditative instrumental, Gonz puts his knack for braggadocio aside and focuses on everything that’s been trying to pull him down over the years. From the naysayers to liquor to the devil himself, there’s been plenty of negativity swarming the rapper’s brain. And it’s all brought to life in this beautifully shot video which they both had a hand in directing. 

The visuals place the emotional weight of “Forward” to brilliant use by utilizing fetching grayscale effects in addition to slick editing techniques. Nearly every element of Gonz’s rhymes is featured here, whether it’s the bottle he can’t seem to put down, or the family that means so much to him. Speaking of, this video is dedicated to the memory of the emcee’s late father, Luis A. Gonzalez Sr., who’s honored in the closing credits.

Check out the visuals for “Forward” and be sure the keep 'The Loops' in steady rotation. Head over to the digital retailer of your choice to stream or download the 12 track project which is available via Music Is My Message / Speak Up Ent.

Massachusetts producer/turntablist DJ Manipulator flips synth sounds and crazy percussion on his latest single, “ARP Revisited,” which features hard-hitting guest verses from Blu and Louie Gonz.

These two gifted emcees from opposite coasts—Blu hails from L.A., and Gonz from Worcester, MA—previously collaborated in a similar setting, though with a darker and grittier sound. It was on the snarling “This Sound,” a standout leak off Gonz and Manip’s 2017 collaborative effort, 'The Loops.' There’s still a murky smog-like feeling to the rhymes on “ARP Revisited,” but they’re juxtaposed by slightly brighter synth-laden production.

Manipulator skillfully blends, scratches, and chops up other warped electronic sounds across his solo release, 'The Synth Tape,' which dropped earlier this year and contains the original “ARP.” It boasts even more speaker-knocking instrumentals of this track’s ilk, and heads who like what they’re hearing on here will need to get familiar. And not only with The Synth Tape, but 'The Loops' and everything else with Manipulator’s name on it. Dude’s becoming one of the underground’s best-kept secrets.

“ARP Revisited" which was mastered by FreaQ Show, is available now through all major digital retailers and streaming platforms through Backcourt Records. And be sure to keep 'The Synth Tape' in rotation and follow the up and coming producer on Spotify: http://bit.ly/DustyManip
