Birdstep, birdle choppin', call it what you will...It is the brainchild of the one Birdle when engulfed in madness with the two pillars of underground music inspiration; Dj/emcee Progress,  and Dr. Huxtable(...a.k.a.dj B-Precise) making a phenomenal comic emcee appearance on this one live recording from the basement of our Framingham Ma basement studio. Quick Shots out to Unity Collective, The Hopi Indians, Bob Frissel, Gregg Braden, Jesus, Thoth, Sophia, vegetables, Global Roots family, world family, and the children who are the future. Bless...

Old skool jungle bizness (some white label vinyl, think it is East Side recordings from the UK, probably 1996 or 1997) with my man mr. Dj B-precise on the cut for the first half of the track, the One emcee Progress with a basement inspired underground spiritual vibration influenced freestyle flow. Oh fo sho. More rhymes to share as the threshold approaches my brethren and sistren.  Be ready for the movement. Blessings.

ProgessFreestyle

This is a small segment of a mix session recorded live in October 2009 with the help of my long-time friend and accomplice dj B-Precise of Boston, Ma.  We were improvising with classic reggae (two different tracks off of the Best of Toots and the Maytals used in this clip) and old-school jungle vinyl when we stumbled upon these particular blends.  The use of kills, reverses, echo effects, and smooth fade-outs adds a very ethereal quality to the overall mix, while the contrasting energies of the different genres create a uniquely rich and emotional musical landscape.  I think you can feel the joy and exhilaration that was flowing through our veins on this mix.  Jah bless.

Toots Jungle Remix

Another one of the 'Soul Progress 2009' mashup sessions with Progressor (myself) and dj B-Precise on the decks, bringing some old-school jungle/mashup/hip-hop/ragga knowledge to the table.  After a decade of spinning a multitude of genres upon our respective paths we converged in our Framingham, Ma basement laboratory with the fire burning strong, ready to mash up the place, all improvised, with only our hardware and our taste for heavy, soulful, fun, dark, deep and intelligent music.  Nothing edited, all live and rough and full of flow and magic.  This particular mix is a little rough and imperfect but I believe it captures the 'soul' essence of our live mix sets, demonstrating how we bring together the energies and emotions from different musical genres, always seeking unique harmonic and philosophical connections that will move the listeners on a core level.
