DJ Krush - Kakusei

Artist - DJ Krush
Album - Kakusei
Year - 1999
Vitals - 320kbps MP3 CBR

Mmm! Happy new year. What up?

This.

That's what.

Can you believe that this album is 11 years old? Krush is the man! He's been kicking since '94 (a stellar year in hip hop, so, it's not surprising), putting out some really killer, bizarre, distinct turntable grooves. This album has him taking a more lilted, broken feel. There's gold on this album, but it needs a bit of diggin'.

With Krush on the zigga zigga, can't get no bigga.

I'm going to upload more Krush this week. Stay tuned.

Ruckus Roboticus - Playing With Scratches

Long time no see! My internet bill has finally been paid, so, to inaugurate:


Artist - Ruckus Roboticus
Album - Playing With Scratches
Year - 2007
Vitals - 320kbps MP3 CBR

This one's a little hard to come by, for some reason. Which is too bad, because it's fantastic. Something of a concept album about the life and times of a fictional, masterful turntablist.

this record is:
funky, playful, silly, clever, bizarrely retro. get it in your ears.

No Luck Club - Happiness

Aight. So, while I was going through the half finished posts sitting in our blogbox, I had noticed that D. started working on a NLC post, which was mega exciting, but he never posted it... and I could never figure out why, anyway...this is what the post read:


"These baaaad mutha fuckaz will blow yo' mind"

No Luck Club is a Canadian turntablist trio. Nice!

Sadly though, one of the tightest tracks on this album - "Lousy Lover" was destroyed on my harddrive in a tragic mashup accident, but I have a feeling the Cool Jerk might have a backup of this one. We can only pray.

Much Love,

-D.ave

Now, I probably shouldn't act like Jesus Christ, but hey, at least I answer prayers.
Booya. Keep it freaky.

Skalpel - Virtual Cuts 1 & 2

Skalpel. Your favorite Polish jazzers gone hip hop. This is a series of 2 mixtapes that Skalpel made a year after their Polish Jazz EP. And is it any wonder they were picked up by Ninja Tune for their next release? Heavy heavy beats and some jarring production make these ones keepers for sure. Drop the needle on these babies at your next soiree, watch the jaws drop and the genitals drip.

As a 'lil side note, here's an interview with Skalpel where they talk about how shitty mp3's are! I guess I'm slightly embarrassed to be sharing and listening to Skalpel's music on mp3, but I'm sure I'd be less of a person without them, shitty quality or not. Pick up their other albums too. They have a completely different feel, but it's a worthwile adventure.
