Tall Black Guy - Funky Drummers In A Space Suit (Slap and Blap Edit)88bpm

On a Saturday morning at the start of November 2013, First Word Records took 3 of our favourite producers out of London to spend the day browsing through the vinyl shelves of the biggest record nerd we know - the incomparable Mr Thing. This was the culmination of an idea that first manifested itself on Record Store Day 2012. Like most ideas it was a natural conclusion to a conversation about records and music - kidkanevil had expressed a desire to dig through Mr Thing's sizeable collection for some inspiration. Chatting to Mr Thing it seemed unfair to limit this to only one producer - Tall Black Guy and Eric Lau were top of our wish list. So - a double 7" (Mr Thing would make a beat too - they are his records after all) in time for Record Store Day 2013 (yes, we're a year late). 

There was however one stipulation about the records from the usually mild-mannered Mr Thing:

'The guys can sample anything they like, but Nothing Leaves The House....'
And who were we to argue.....

The result is four tracks that celebrate our love for record digging, sample chopping and the simple love of a dope beat.

Howdy Folks, I was a little late to the party with the Jay Dee Contest. But, I seen alot of the homies flip it up so, I decided to give it a try. Hope you all enjoy!!

Whenever It Comes To You94BPM - "Jay Dee Electric Piano Funk"

Tall Black Guy is one of my favourite producers/beat makers. I could speak about how brilliant his work is but I would rather the beats do the "talking".

I hope you enjoy this mix of TBG flips, beats, blaps and edits that I put together just ahead of his Australian Tour.

Live from Stockholm (DJ Set)

Running an independent record label in 2015 is a tricky, (and some would say foolish) task. It is of course, a privilege to be given the responsibility to get an artist's music out into the world, but the label's side of the job is more about spreadsheets and sales ledgers than champagne and cigars. That is why last year's Record Store Day was genuinely one of the most memorable and important days in the life of First Word. We released our first RSD release - Nothing Leaves The House, a project that was dreamt up on RSD 2012, and finally shared two years later. Unlike most records we release, we were able to be there as music fans discovered the record in the shops - an experience that was inspiring, humbling and ever so slightly addictive.

So we were always going to return with part two in 2015, this time with a twist. A year on from the day the trio of Eric Lau, Tall Black Guy and kidkanevil visited Mr Thing's collection to sample his records (where nothing could leave the house), we gathered them at London's Love Vinyl record shop where he had brought one record from his collection for each producer. Their challenge was to make a beat from the individually chosen records: the results massively exceeded our expectations. Originally Mr Thing was going to make a track from something in his collection too, but the three producers decided that he should go through the same process as they would. They picked a record from the racks of the shop (they had to find one he didn't already own first) and his beat was created from that. The result is 4 tracks that truly capture the personalities of each producer, and a record that is born out of a heartfelt love of records - we hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed making it.

We'll be back for round 3 in 2016...

Get U Home

8 Miles To Moenart has literally brought Tall Black Guy full circle. Detroit was where he
started making music, and it’s to his hometown he returns to draw inspiration for his
debut album. Taking in low-slung hip hop, downtempo house and jazz-tinged street soul,
it’s a record of rare focus. Largely instrumental, he’s also added some choice collabs
with Ozay Moore (formerly known as Othello) and Diggs Duke, bringing their own
unique styles to the melting pot. This record encapsulates the musical heritage
of Detroit, through the looking glass of Tall Black Guy's own signature sound.
