Dj Slynke called and asked me to do a 5 to 10 minute piece for a Turntablist mixtape he was putting out w/ sets from guest Dj's from Queens, NY. Dj Spinbad, Dj JS-One, Dj Ody Roc and I were all featured on the Mixtape. The only Problem was that when Slynke called, he needed it done in less then 2 days. Also when he told me who was on it I had to be a lil more creative to make up for my lack of cutting skills. So with a not much sleep, lots of Iced Tea and Ritz (those who knew me then knew that was my studio fuel, lol).this is what I came up with. "Turntables Talk 1999". 
Recorded and mixed on a Roland 880 digital recorder. Summer of 1999.

Turntables Talk 1999 - Dj Finesse NYC

HVNLP13
Live at The Social
mixed by The Chemical Brothers


This track is taken from The Chemical Brothers' 'Live at The Social' mix. Compiled as a taster and souvenir of the legendary Heavenly Social nights...


Excerpt from the Sleeve notes by Robin Turner-
“It was probably a stupid idea, the kind that, if you sat down and thought about it, you’d have laughed about, scrapped and moved on to the next one.
It went like this – get a back room in a dirty old boozer on a Sunday night. Get a pair of DJs who were more renowned for their party rockin’ than their fluid mixing. Get guests , anyone and everyone from pop stars to shit hot DJs and get them to play their favourite records. The only rule – our guys go on last. Build up your own anthems, find new heroes, find your own stimulants. You think you’ll get maybe 70 people, but after 13 weeks when you call it a day, you’re turning away 700. Somebody said ‘blow the whole joint up’. We did.
The Social first rocked the tiny basement of The Albany on Sunday August 6th 1994. In the months since then, it’s shifted venue a few times. Months or years down the line, all you have left as a souvenir of a life affirming night out is a crumpled flyer. With these albums, we’re trying to bring a little slice on the Social into your home."

In early March 2011, Japan suffered one of the largest earthquakes in recorded history, a tsunami which devastated its northern coast, and a nuclear disaster the scope of which is still not fully understood.

23 artists including of Montreal, St. Vincent, Deerhoof, Xiu Xiu, David Bazan, Joan of Arc, Owen, Casiokids, STRFKR, and many more spent the past several months entering the studio and going through their song archives to donate songs to this compilation in an effort to aid the victims of the disaster that continues to affect Japan.

In addition, a handful of local bands from Champaign-Urbana (Polyvinyl’s hometown), Tulsa, and San Francisco agreed to be on the compilation and will be organizing benefit shows in their respective areas.

All profits from sales of this benefit album will be donated to the American Red Cross to support the International Red Cross in their ongoing relief efforts.

With his critically-acclaimed new album "Legends Never Die" now in stores everywhere, R.A. The Rugged Man is unveiling the latest single off the album. "Holla-Loo-Yuh" features two iconic underground figures uniting, as R.A. is joined by Tech N9ne, with fellow Strange Music emcee Krizz Kaliko on the hook.  While R.A. and Tech have run in the same circles for over a decade, the all-out lyrical slaughter of "Holla-Loo-Yuh" marks their historic first-ever collaboration.
