recorded live at the Nightmares On Wax gig at the Mojo Club Hamburg november 2014

Nightmares On Wax support mix by POLYPHONIC & FELOX at the Mojo Club Hamburg 2014

The A2G EP by Blackalicious was released in 1999 by Quannum Projects and served as a precursor to Blackalicious' full length debut Nia, which shares three tracks with this EP. Perhaps the EP's most famous track is "Alphabet Aerobics", a collaboration with Jurassic 5's Cut Chemist.

Back To The Essence

Andy Riley-Lazee Sunday Vol3

I woke up with an urge to play some downtempo/hip hop/mushroom jazz so I got on Sugar Shack Recordings and did just that.  Hot tea and whiskey helped me to get things rolling.  Hope you dig it and share.  Cheers :-)

Mushroom Jazz With Kochi On Sugar Shack Recordings 492016

I was one of the resident djs at the Mushroom Jazz party back in the 90's. It was a memorable weekly event that was part of the burgeoning Acid Jazz scene in San Francisco. On June 15, 2016,  I had the pleasure of playing at Mushroom Jazz (which was a monthly event at Monarch) and this is my recorded set. Thank you to Mark Farina and Monarch for having me out to play...

J-Live - Great Expectations

Check out this free download of "Too Much Birthday " from People Under The Stairs new Highlighter EP

Highlighter EP, a prelude to People Under The Stairs' most ambitious work to date, marks the beginning of their 8th album release and captures the unparalleled group at the height of their 4 year career. More than just an indie hip-hop album, Highlighter's outside collaborators comprise a group of influential LA indy-rock producers, engineers, and live players. The Duo dug deep into tape, obscure recods, and live players and emerge with a project that is both unique and yet familiar. Amidst the swirling musical landscapes, the P realist their most psychedelic album yet and continue to pioneer an alternate, innovative musical direction in rap music. This special release in advance of the album features 4 handpicked selections from the 20 track album available nowhere else.

Los Angeles based People Under The Stairs, Double K (Michael Turner) and Thes One (Christopher Portugal) are the most successful fully independent hip-hop duo in the history of Hip-Hop. Since their initial full length release in 1998, People Under The Stairs have performed more than a thousand sold out shows, festivals and world tours spanning 6 continents and 40 countries. With a pioneering DIY ethic, “The P” as they are referred to by their fans, have self-managed, produced and engineered 7 full-length albums and countless singles and side projects. The musical sensibility punctuating their unique brand of hip-hop has not only earned them the title “The Steely Dan of Rap Music” but consistent critical acclaim and numerous appearances on the Billboard Charts. Their illustrious career includes an appearance on The Simpson’s 20th Anniversary Special, a John Peele Session at Abbey Road, and groundbreaking performances at key festivals such as Glastonbury, Coachella and Bonaroo, the last of which was noted by SPIN magazine as “Simply the best performance of Friday… Period”. As part of their 10 year Anniversary World Tour in 2009, People Under The Stairs travelled to new continents with sold out shows in China, Brazil and Africa and continued to tour through 2010 with main stage plays at Outside Lands Festival, Governors Ball NYC and many others.

On the Saturday night of this year's Bestival the legendary Mr Scruff played a 4-hour set of Funk, Soul and Disco gems to a rammed Staceys.
The room was effectively a perfect Disco - a beautifully tuned soundsystem, plenty of mirror-balls and a 'Soul Train'-esq decor.
Enjoy!

V.A. – Compost Vocal Selection (Brothers) (Continuous Mix) (62:38)

Info: After one and a half decade and more than 400 releases, Compost Records bundles some of their finest tunes as Various Artists digital download compilation albums. The variety and full spectrum of Compost’s repertoire has never or rarely been presented in form of a musical genre compilation. These releases will be compiled or DJ-mixed by Compost’s artists and are available as digital downloads, except in some rare cases very very limited as 500 CDs.

Ever since the beginning of electronic music the voice was considered an instrument that shouldn’t be forgotten. So when everybody considered the beats and the bass as the King, there was still love for vocals. Sometimes to create an atmosphere of tribalism with its own mantras, sometimes as a work of poetry. But always present.

From the depths of the Compost vaults vocal tracks were selected and mixed by Rupert & Mennert. Compost and Rupert & Mennert are more than proud to present two shining examples of all the great songs that were sung and produced in the last two decades.

Could one say that this particular ‘Compost Selection’ defines a genre? Well... not entirely. Do all the great vocalists that sang on an immense amount of Compost releases deserve their own spotlight? Well... hell yes!

The first take has the appropriate sub-title: Brothers.

On this very compilation, fourteen tracks are selected and mixed together. With vocal contributions by Robert Owens, Victor Davies, Colonel Red, Marc Frank, Joseph Malik, Ovasoul 7, Jamie Lloyd, Ernesto and many more. The tracks will go back and forth through all kinds of genres. From the deep folk electronic of Zwicker , the latin-jazz by Intuit and the spoken word by General Electrics to the beats by Wagon Cookin’, Daniel Magg, Phreek Plus One and TJ Kong & Nuno dos Santos. Giving you post broken beats by Beanfield and Kyoto Jazz Massive. Ending with some classic crooning from Les Gammas and funky soul by Muallem and Alex Attias.

So let the brothers of Compost be your guide through their musical landscape!

Who are Rupert&Mennert? 
Rupert & Mennert reside in Den Helder, The Netherlands. One of the most beautiful cities in the world. From there they send their music into the wide world. They broadcast a highly irregular radioshow called Weird Pigs. They remix tracks and invent new concepts about making music. One of those mysterious new concepts is called: Brain Connection Series... also on Compost Records. And of course you can expect more Compost Selections from their hand too.
