Grown Man Rap Show - Episode 26 - 1990 tribute - Paul Nice & DJ Toast

I just recently found this live recording audio of when I participated in the Beat Society LA Showcase in 2004...listening to this recording had me buggin out and brought back memories.

Let me backtrack a little.....Some of you might be familar with the Beat Society Producer Showcase, some of you might not.  For me personally, this is the one that started it all with the producer showcase genre, in terms of having established & upcoming producers at that time. This showcase was the brainchild from Philly producer extraordinaire Hezekiah along with the help from the indy label Soulspazm. Beat Fanatic head honcho Slopfunkdust was also instrumental in connecting the dots. The event was always hosted by Stef Tataz & Sao. And almost every producer that had a name or just getting a buzz has graced the stage: Kanye West, Nottz, Illmind, Exile, 9th Wonder, B!nk, Oddisee, & many more.

The showcase event would always feature 4 producers playing their beats live off their respected machines, as well as having well known MCs rock over their production, plus a sample challenge round where each producer would have to flip a sample that the committee from the Beat Society has chosen...The event was mostly based in the East Coast, primarily Philidelphia.

In 2003, it was the first time that the Beat Society Showcase ventures out West, specificially Los Angeles at the Knitting Factory. There, they had Dj Khalil, Illmind, Hezekiah, & the Dilated Junkie himself, Dj Babu. I had the honor of spinning music in between. What was also monumental, Dilla & Madlib were in the house chillin in the background peepin out the event.

In 2004, they had another Beat Society LA showcase (again at the Knitting factory), but this time, they asked me to participate as a producer.  I was very honored, and to tell you the truth, I was hella nervous. "Why?" you ask? Well, I had to share the stage with some of my favorite producers who happen to be also my friends: Jake One, Marco Polo, & Kev Brown. To be on the same stage as these heavyweights had me shook....haha! I had alot of pressure, (1) because I was repping the hometown and didn't want to let Los Angeles down and (2) the general public didn't really know me as a producer; I was known more for being a DJ/Turntablist and I wanted to showcase my production to the public.

When you listen to the audio, you can hear each producer's individual style and what equipment they were using: Jake had the ASR-10, Marco Polo & Kev Brown had the MPC 2000XL, & me...I had the MPC2000 & the Technics 1200 (yeah, I brought my set up at that time...lol). You can tell I was really nervous...haha. Also, when you listen to the audio, you might be familiar with some of the production that we played that night, especially Jake's production of De La Soul's "Rock KoKane Flow" & WWE's John Cena's wrestling intro song "The Time Is Now". I played beats that would eventually make onto the Visionaries' 4th album "We Are The Ones".

All in all, I had a great time sharing the stages with these guys, bonding & cracking jokes, & showcasing my beats. And it was a great feeling when my peers who I am a fan of their work gave me my props as a producer that night....that meant alot to me. I am honored to be featured & be part of this historic moment of the Beat Society history. 

Bigups to Hezekiah, Jim at Soulspazm, Slopfunkdust, Sao, Stef, Okayplayer, Jake, Marco, Kev, Casual, Akrobatik, Mr. Lif, Thearapy aka Paten Locke, Prince Po (Organized Konfusion), Black Silver, OhNo, Dj Romes, Dj Khalil, Chace Infinite, SA-RA, & to the listeners.....enjoy this time capsule moment.

"High Output is an inside joke we have from a trip to Manila with our good friends from Do-Over Jamie and Chris.  The project itself is a collaboration between two friends from different horizons but with a same vision.  We’ve been playing together in many different cities around the world and we have a lot of friends in common all over the planet, it was just a matter of time before we’d put out something together, just because we thought it would be fun to do.  Our mix contains unexpected music, rare grooves and unreleased material…and we hope you’ll appreciate the effort and the music we put into this mix.  If you own the 7” as well, you have two previously unreleased productions in your hands and I really hope you got the shirt as well, if not, you’ve been ripped off, haha!" - LEFTO

As one the most important tastemakers Europe has to offer, and af- filiated with labels Brownswood, Blue Note, !K7 Records, Stones Throw and Jazzy Sport, this bearded early riser is consistently a couple steps ahead of your average early adopter. He doesn’t wait for the next thing to land on his lap, actively seeking it out - just take a peek at his playl- ists on Belgium’s foremost national radio station Studio Brussel which received compliments from Rough Trade Shops and Gilles Peterson.

JROCC
One of the original turntablists, J. Rocc founded the Beat Junkies in 1992 with Melo-D and Rhettmatic, but has done just as much on his own as in a group setting. He began DJing in the mid-’80s with a California group named PSK. Soon after forming, the Beat Junkies became a seminal force in the rise of instrumental hip-hop, including core member Babu plus future stars Shortkut and D-Styles. In addition to numerous mix- tapes and his own production for Stones Throw releases, J. Rocc has been the DJ for Madlib’s live shows since the early 2000’s, was the 3rd member of Jaylib (Madlib & J Dilla) during the group’s live events, and collaborated with Madlib on Beat Konducta Vol. 5-6: A Tribute to J Dilla.

Message From Bernard Purdie

The Man With The Golden Arm - Dj Green Giant

@benito-turntable: "I started mixing jazzy hip-hop 10 years ago in the bars of Paris and later, when I arrived in Montreal, I discovered breakdance battles. 
From that moment, my interest in funk and breakbeat evolved and I introduced more rhythmic tracks in my mixes. 

Consequently this mix is a set of my musical influences. It begins from a hip-hop style and progresses towards a funky style with a large place for instrumentals tracks, Jazz is still the common thread. I hope that the regular listeners of the MIMS website will enjoy the mix!"
