Rammellzee Space Aged B-Boy

Rammellzee was the original space age b-boy. He was one of the first writers to start camouflaging their letters in a style that would come to be know as wildstyle. The dude painted trains with Dondi and Dr Revolt. He created his own theory on letters and their hidden powers that he called Ikonclast Panzerism. He also was a dope emcee whose tracks were featured on the 1982 documentary Wild Style. He released a solo album in 2004 and collaborated with NY label Supreme for a range of clothing.
It makes me incredible sad that more and more of the pioneers of the late 70's and early 80s scene are slowly disappearing.
Some time in the future the world will wake up and realise that Rammellzee was one of the great mind of our time. RIP to a true legend.

Relax Yourself

A Tribe called Quest are hitting Sydney. August 11th at that large shed that they call the Horden Pavilion.
Now i could complain about how this is a wednesday night, how high ticket prices are and how there's a VIP option ( what are we Rolling Stones fans ?) but aside from buying a plane ticket to the states this is the only way your going to see Phife, Tip and Ali Shaheed Muhammad doing what they do best. Pre sale tickets went on sale today and word is they are only going to get more expensive so get in quick.

What's Love Got To Do With It

This post is simple really. Its about Jay Dee. I don't really need to tell you anything about this except to say that this is mix of Dilla productions,raps and samples broken down into three parts. It was originally done for the Radio show Droppin Science i host on 2SER FM here in Sydney to commemorate the fourth anniversary of his death. I know a lot of people are sick of all the hipsters jumping on the bandwagon of Dilla's death. But thats not going to stop me from celebrating the work of one of the best producers to ever live. Dude was light years ahead of the game.

Boogie Down

This is a disco/boogie influenced mix i did back in 05 in homage to the club night Boogie Down that ran at Candy's Apartment for a number of years, and was hosted by Jimmy James, Blaze, Regal and Nick Toth. To many people including me this was the highlight of Sydney clubing especially for those that enjoyed the sounds of hip hop, breaks, disco boogie and funk. Too many great nights and memories were had here including watching Paul Nice, Young Einstein, Mark Rae, Quest Love and Cut Chemist among many others.
I found this mix on a mini disk (remember those ?) and bounced it to mp3. No tracklist again but if you need to know about anything just ask.
