Jazz Hop. I've been cooking up that compilation for a while and I must say that I'm happy with the results. There ate some very known names, some new comers but the mix is sucka free as always.<br /><br />It was a difficult task as usual to choose my top 3, I put a lot of effort to choose the right tracks, make sure they go well together. I'll go with Check The Rhime '09 by <a href="http://www.myspace.com/questdaemcee">QuEST</a> & <a href="http://www.myspace.com/nerolovesyou">Nero</a> two upcoming rhymers but damn they represent a cover of one of my all time favorite tracks. Push On by <a href="http://www.thesoundproviders.com/">Surreal & The Sound Providers</a> is the perfect definition of jazz hop, a nice bass line and Surreal just flowin' on the mic. Now last but not the least is a Canadian rapper by the name of <a href="http://www.myspace.com/shad">Shad</a>. I know right now <a href="http://www.myspace.com/thisisdrake">Drake</a> is blowin' up but he doesn't come close to <a href="http://www.myspace.com/shad">Shad's</a> lyrical ability. The track telephone will demonstrate what I'm talking about and his album TSOL is not to be slept on. Honorable mention to <a href="http://giftstribution.com/">Gift of Gab</a> with Flashback, <a href="http://www.myspace.com/kindofpeace">Pat D & Lady Paradox</a> with I Wanna Feel Days straight from the UK and a young producer by the name of <a href="http://suffdaddy.bandcamp.com/">Suff Daddy</a> with Join the Club.<br /><br />Much love to the goodvibez followers, keep in mind that I'm doing this strictly for the love of music and it's with great pleasure that I share this with all ya'll.

SO merge Mos Def's lyrical genius to more classic material (reggae, dub samples) and tadaaaa ! Mos Dub but what makes this a bullseye is that the music flow naturally, like this was meat to be same as peanut butter and jelly.<br /><br />I don't know if it's a trend but I've heard a few mash ups and most of them we're ...Ok at best but this my loyal readers, this takes the cake. So sit back, chillax indulge into your sin of choice (greenery or a nice beverage) and just let Max bring you on the Dub side.<br /><br />Jazzy Jonez out !<br /><br /><a href="http://www.myspace.com/maxtannone">Max Tannone</a><br /><a href="http://mosdub.com/">DOWNLOAD</a>Ronhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07177420783643781358noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2414201428737866674.post-73694849213852747202010-05-27T12:53:00.001-07:002010-05-27T13:01:34.590-07:00ArtOfficial:The Payback<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIwQpFG3WiiYW2MuQL4rRe8i9MqdRybdptzjvOK5e1LL1vhilBMoNVFuhRBo5pzMKJKTjFkfc2jmgEEC8piBgiHVzBvJ8isqjbRdmxTjkbshxNxLuIXyTjMwIZbEbCSJglVUEcS79JxW2F/s1600/payback-front-final.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIwQpFG3WiiYW2MuQL4rRe8i9MqdRybdptzjvOK5e1LL1vhilBMoNVFuhRBo5pzMKJKTjFkfc2jmgEEC8piBgiHVzBvJ8isqjbRdmxTjkbshxNxLuIXyTjMwIZbEbCSJglVUEcS79JxW2F/s400/payback-front-final.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5476040665987805570" /></a><br /><br />ArtOfficial/The Payback 2010 -Free Download<br /><br />So here I am blogwalking and I was checking out <a href="http://billy4202.blogspot.com/2010/04/artofficial-payback.html">Real hiphop's</a> post and something caught my attention, now I remember seeing that post on a few other sites/blogs and i decided to give it a try. ArtOfficial from Miami and the free download: The Payback, hip hop band a la The Roots . It's a 12-track mixtape /street album consists of 2 emcees Newsense and Logics rhyming over the live instrumental tracks by musicians: Danny Perez, Manny Patino, Ralf Valencia and Keith Cooper, the recreation of classic instrumentals such as rock legend Jimi Hendrix (“Voodoo”) to jazz trio Medeski, Martin & Wood (title track “The Payback”) and one of my all time classic Don't Sweat The Technique.<br /><br />Bottom line is this is just some good music, it has that boom-bap 90's feel to it, the sax player is mighty nice and it's just a cool album to vibe to and they will be featured in my future mixes for sure.<br /><br /><a href="http://kevinnottingham.com/2010/04/23/artofficial-the-payback-exclusive-download/">Get it here for free</a><br /><br />Jazzy Jonez out !Ronhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07177420783643781358noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2414201428737866674.post-8971831639048459702010-05-02T08:17:00.001-07:002010-05-23T18:51:35.077-07:00thegoodvibez#023<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5fSUY5w1POSZqz3RmWbdGOtombBwlCNB7MsLKCMRyps3g39Y8q_jVJWHFrwGOtsk9YYK8gLDgcbxUwBT1iU5tKMXg_udf_yUe8CQAFQpLFbXt5ZNvN_e2zLg9TNDLMKo2tBZJQXcFVr3o/s1600/dc_cam_cover-2(F).jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5fSUY5w1POSZqz3RmWbdGOtombBwlCNB7MsLKCMRyps3g39Y8q_jVJWHFrwGOtsk9YYK8gLDgcbxUwBT1iU5tKMXg_udf_yUe8CQAFQpLFbXt5ZNvN_e2zLg9TNDLMKo2tBZJQXcFVr3o/s400/dc_cam_cover-2(F).jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5466692408389717970" /></a><br /><br />thegoodvibez presents: DJ Cam<br /><br /> <br />I decided to introduce a little something new called the goodvibez presents, basically I will put together a compilation of some of my favorite artists and the first one is DJ Cam.<br /><br />Dj Cam born Laurent Daumail is a french DJ and his style is a hybrid of hip hop and jazz. Last time I counted he had something like 13 albums under his belt starting from 1994 with Underground Vibes. Now how did i discover DJ Cam ? As you may or may not know, while in college, I had the coolest job, I was working in a music store, it was small and we mostly sold commercial stuff but it's still up to date one of my favorite jobs. Anyhow at a certain point, huge mega-stores started opening and needless to say it took a few months to shut us down. Even if I hated the huge mega stores I walked in and well I was amazed of the choice they had, imports, rare albums and their hip hop section had way more choices then i was accustomed to, on top of that you could ask to listen to an album which was amazing.<br /><br />So there I was in that mega-store and by pure fluke I found DJ cam's the beat condoctor in the acid jazz section, I couldn't believe it they even had an acid jazz section. so here i am in line with a pile of cd's to listen to and as soon it started, '' Cuz I love hip hop like Madonna loves dick'' and I was hooked. Now within these 13 albums some are a little darker and more on the edge of trip hop like the loa project vol. 2. Then you have his later music like soulshine that you can tell by the title is more soul oriented but lately i rediscovered him with DJ Cam's Quartet ( Diggin' and Rebirth of cool) both of these albums are insane for any music lover. I can resume the last 2 albums jazz quartet with dj and a whole lotta groove and that how I rediscovered Dj Cam. Of course when an artist has sucha vaste repertoire it's not easy to choose 15 songs, so I choose my favorites but also i wanted to display his taste for different moods and ambiances.<br /><br />thegoodvibez#023 DJ Cam (part.1)<br /><br />1- I Love Hip Hop<br />2- Gangsta Shit<br />3- Rebirth Of Cool<br />4- Liquid Hip Hop<br />5- Candyman (featuring Franck Black)<br />6- Boss Guitar<br />7- Juliet<br />8- Soulshine<br />9- It's Yours<br />10- Everybody Loves The Sunshine (feat.

I also added a little mp3 player to my blog, the songs are taken from the latest podcast you can use it to preview the songs before downloading. My favorite tracks we hard to choose as always but here we go and they are not in any particular order. The High Road by <a href="http://www.brokenbells.com/">Broken Bells</a> which consists of DJ Danger Mouse and James Mercer. I've been a fan of Danger Mouse since the days of the Grey Album and he never stopped to surprise me, he worked with Ceee-Lo (Gnarles Barkley) MF Doom to name a few and now he choose a new direction Broken Bell's sound is folky the album should come out later this year. Next is Stylo (Ft. Mos Def & Bobby Womack) by <a href="http://www.gorillaz.com/">Gorillaz</a> is one of my favorite groups and the characters are well crafted, I've been waiting for the album for a while now and word around the web is that it should come out later on this year as well. I was never able to label Gorillaz because the jump from one style to another but the music is always solid. Juicy Grub (feat Yousif) by <a href="http://www.myspace.com/kindofpeace">Pat D & Lady Paradox</a> is a hip hop group from the UK, it's some straight jazz-hop think british Digable Planets, I love how the Brits take hip hop and add their own twist. The rest of the songs are as great but I have a soft spot for these choices.<br /><br />I noticed more followers on the blog, thanks a lot it's much appreciated please, comments and feedback are always welcomed. My next post will be thegoodvibez present, basically I will take an artist and compile some songs from all their albums and the first one will be DJ Cam and it will be posted real soon on this note I hope you will enjoy this mix that I've cooked for all y'all and keep in mind I do this blog because i just love sharing that great music with you.<br /><br />Thegoodvibez#022 track list<br /><br />1-No Way Down / Air France<br />2-Dejeuner Sur l'Herbe / Faberge<br />3-Paradise Circus feat.

It was a very interesting year musically, the indie movement is at an all time high and I also notice that the electro sound is becoming very commercial however good music will always be good music no matter what trend is going on.<br /><br />Let's jump to my favorite tracks since this is a favorite of 09 I'll pick 5 instead of my usual 3. The opening track The Music Scene by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blockhead_%28music%29">Blockhead</a> is a nice instrumental groove on the jazz tip, I was happy when I found out the Blockhead had a new album out being a fan and all even though it's not his strongest release it's still a solid effort. Then I'll go with Quicksand (Boy 8-Bit Remix) by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Roux">La Roux</a> and this track's been playing in clubs for a while I cannot deny how effective this track is, it's catchy, dancy but most of all damn good. Now Fading In & Out (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kid_Cudi">Kid Cudi</a> x DJ Class Mash-Up) by The Kickdrums is the perfect example that hip hop still has a few words to say and these words are not about rims, guns and pimpslappin'. Humdrum Town by <a href="http://theophiluslondon.wordpress.com/">Theophilus London</a> was my discovery of the year is just straight up fresh and new, mixing electro and hip hop and give it an indie feel and you got a kick ass concept, I just love that song. Sweet Sixteen by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Think_About_Life">Think About Life</a>, this Montreal based band is outstanding I cannot really describe the music it's an amalgamation of so many musical styles (Indie Rock mixed with Electro and Hip Hop) one thing I can say for sure is this track is amazing and I can't wait to hear more from them. Well I said 5 but my favorite album of 2009 is with no doubt <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoenix_%28band%29">Phoenix</a>'s Wolfgang Amadeus it's dancy, retro rock the melodies are sweet, the lyrics poetic it's just a gem of an album. as I was writing this post I realised the Lust for Life by <a href="http://www.myspace.com/girls">Girls</a> needs a shout as well and last but not least (I promise) I <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karen_O">Karen O & The Kids</a> with All Is Love from the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Where_the_Wild_Things_Are_%28film%29#Soundtrack">Where The Wild Things Are Soundtrack</a> (my 2nd favorite album of 2009).<br /><br />thegoodvibez#021 track list<br /><br />1-The Music Scene / Blockhead<br />2-Spring (Air France Remix) / Saint Etienne<br />3-Pon De Floor [Explicit] / Major Lazer (Switch & Diplo)<br />4-Positif (Original Mix) / Mr Oizo<br />5-Quicksand (Boy 8-Bit Remix) / La Roux<br />6-Your Disco Song / Vitalic<br />7-Tonight / The Juan MacLean<br />8-Fading In & Out (Kid Cudi x DJ Class Mash-Up) by The Kickdrums / Kid Cudi<br />9-Weirdo (9th WONDER REMIX ft.

I taught I was dreaming but nope another Apple Juice kid project (this DJ/Producer/Drummer) is going for the gold with Louis Armstrong Remixed. The concept is very simple take 11 old L. Armstrong songs and update them. Some have a hip hop feel, others are more electronic well in this day of mashing up styles who cares right ? The question remains is it any good ? You bet'cha it's damn good. Now I have to tell you that I still prefer Miles Remixed but the Armstrong Remixed is a breeze to listen to specially around the Holiday no one can hate on an updated version of Wonderful World.<br /><br />This is something you can sit back, relax and enjoy with you girl, your family even you Grandfather is going to enjoy this one. This project just makes me wonder what is the Apple juice Kid is going to tackle afterwards ? how about some remixed Coltrane now that would be a trip.created by<br /><br />Enjoy!<br /><br />GVz<br /><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/nnOqQ2PS0kA&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/nnOqQ2PS0kA&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://battalionarmour.com/nu/2009/12/louis-armstrong-remixed-by-apple-juice-kid/"><br />DOWNLOAD</a>Ronhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07177420783643781358noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2414201428737866674.post-48378290436789799072009-12-24T11:31:00.001-08:002009-12-24T12:23:55.811-08:00thegoodvibez#020<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdpz6Rn2vkRx49YHSwmTKamQbBfRWu4VwQHdL0o0SiG8Y-OuiJxGXzuekloA1l-mh9vg9o9WsDR3aTVV1ER1Nrf80h4b3E-QUB038EXUmf4JbPnRRMZtpMm0zvSBzQNOtnDAmsE2FevAB0/s1600-h/radio(F).jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdpz6Rn2vkRx49YHSwmTKamQbBfRWu4VwQHdL0o0SiG8Y-OuiJxGXzuekloA1l-mh9vg9o9WsDR3aTVV1ER1Nrf80h4b3E-QUB038EXUmf4JbPnRRMZtpMm0zvSBzQNOtnDAmsE2FevAB0/s400/radio(F).jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5418888162989640498" /></a><br /><br />thegoodvibez#020<br /><br />I wasn't gonna let my hip hop heads out to dry, I didn't post much in 09 ans I was more in the Indie and electro vibe but I wasn't about to forget my first love so here it is, something to get down to during the holidays.<br /><br />I'm gonna jump to my favorite tracks right away, Auditiorium Ft. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slick_Rick">Slick Rick</a> by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mos_Def">Mos Def</a> is a solid track with <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madlib">Madlib</a> on production and I just remember having a good time on a certain Saturday afternoon with two of my friends and we we're just humming the melody on and on so this one goes out to Double U & T. Nebulosa by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DJ_Cam">DJ Cam</a> Quartet, Cam's been out there since the 90's putting out amazing instrumental (mostly) albums. He stirs hip hop and jazz and serves you up with a delectable musical cocktail. Diggin' was one of my favorite albums of 2009 i know you gonna dig this one. It's also interesting to see how hip hop is treated overseas, The Key by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speech_Debelle">Speech Debelle</a> is an example this Londoner just rips the mic on a jazzy beat and the potent English accent just gives it more personality.<br /><br />I notices two more followers on the blog, thanks a lot it's much appreciated. I still got a few tricks up my sleeve before the year ends on this note I hope you will enjoy this hip hop mix that I've cooked for all y'all.<br /><br />thegoodvibez#020 track list<br /><br />1-Wonka Beat 1 / Damu The Fudgemunk<br />2-Less (Part 1 & 2) / DJ Vadim, Jabee & Emcee Hype<br />3-Protagonists / Felt (Slug & Murs)<br />4-Auditiorium Ft.

Is a DJ / Producer that you have to check out, that heavy synth sound is amazing last but not least we have Hidaway by Karen O And The Kids from the Where The Wild Things Are soundtrack.

Now with Double Check you Head, he took lyrics and instrumental tracks from the classic Beasties album Check Your Head and the results is well... Imagine mashing up all that classic material.<br /><br />When you listen to these songs they feel current, considering Check Your Head came out in 1992. This 7 song remix album is out of this world, the remixes are tight the production sounds crisp most of all all of these song has an individual twist to them, little sounds that we're not part of the instrumental tracks and there's even a new song in there featuring Nas. <br /><br />You must check it out and if you only heard post 90's Beastie's stuff it's nothing compared to their first 4 albums and my all time favorite is Paul's Boutique (if you want to know)<br /><br /><a href="http://www.doublecheckyourhead.com/">DOWNLOAD</a><br /><br />Enjoy!<br /><br />Peace & I'm out<br /><br />GVzRonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07177420783643781358noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2414201428737866674.post-38430359230497803902009-11-18T17:43:00.000-08:002009-11-18T18:25:56.458-08:00Ruckazoid!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkINbuTLy6wLRz-plUCo1QnaRjx_9DxiaKL-pOfoANGKbc-_eE2y6dRXByjDjyrHWcc_GZytmufRH_IZIZq0UgT6ut0fxcvXx8XAXRWc7U8qZMKFTqcX31B24gaUswuIPtUr1D6YiD3Wqz/s1600/ruckazoid-diamondz.png"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 357px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkINbuTLy6wLRz-plUCo1QnaRjx_9DxiaKL-pOfoANGKbc-_eE2y6dRXByjDjyrHWcc_GZytmufRH_IZIZq0UgT6ut0fxcvXx8XAXRWc7U8qZMKFTqcX31B24gaUswuIPtUr1D6YiD3Wqz/s400/ruckazoid-diamondz.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5405632149020128194" /></a><br /><br /><br />Man oh man it's been almost two months since my last post, I was neck deep in my <a href="http://rbdesignblog.wordpress.com/">graphic design</a> thing but as always I gotta come back to music. Food feeds the belly but music (amongst other things) feeds the soul.<br /><br />As I was preparing my next mix (that will be posted within the next week or so) I discovered this dude called <a href="//www.myspace.com/ruckazoid">Ruckazoid!</a>. This Los Angeles based DJ/Producer is just insane, I mean you gotta check it for your self. He stacks synthytisers (6 of them to be axact) and actually constructed his own turntables this guy is serious about his music. I would descibe his sounds as pure 80's breakbeat but he's no one trick cat, he produced from Lil' Wayne, Drake and he's coming out with a new album under the name Ruckazoid and the humans.<br /><br />You know what I think the best thing is for you to check him out:<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/y1gLdRlQRos&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/y1gLdRlQRos&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br /><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/PG1rx6xdQCU&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/PG1rx6xdQCU&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br /><br />I'm sure we will hear from Ruckazoid! in the near future as for thegoodvibez I got two new original mixes that will be posted soon, I'm also going to redesign the blog.<br /><br />Enjoy!<br /><br />Peace & I'm out<br /><br />GVzRonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07177420783643781358noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2414201428737866674.post-72899763767605657942009-08-27T06:59:00.000-07:002009-08-27T07:07:53.350-07:00illroots and Okayplayer Present: The Remix Project<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4ZXde6R5cTPfQtPSXw1Yb7d1NlaK6QYWZEbHR6zvxtpQsmWW0lPwzBkpd4o5Fv9BDaRLEqepnHxEcpE6njpQb70iRsWcFHOE4S8HamNCD70NPB8NICXFdtmy9RyZRjFnF0KYpXrh35ggN/s1600-h/the+remix+project1.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 350px; height: 350px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4ZXde6R5cTPfQtPSXw1Yb7d1NlaK6QYWZEbHR6zvxtpQsmWW0lPwzBkpd4o5Fv9BDaRLEqepnHxEcpE6njpQb70iRsWcFHOE4S8HamNCD70NPB8NICXFdtmy9RyZRjFnF0KYpXrh35ggN/s400/the+remix+project1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5374643845829995890" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />The Remix Project is a North Carolina collective comprised of Apple Juice Kid on the Drums, Matt Brandau on the Bass, Brevan Hampden on Percussion, Mark Wells on<br />Keys, Dana Chell on the Guitar/Samples, and DJ Merlin on the cuts. This project is a live reinterpretation by the Remix Project of classic Hip-Hop tracks ranging from Panjabi MC & Jay-Z “Beware” to Outkast’s “Prototype”. With a flawless presentation created by upcoming graphic designer Objectiv One and online powerhouses illRoots.com and Okayplayer.com this project is bound to create just as much buzz as Apple Juice Kid’s prior releases. You may remember this very same collaboration of online entities as they present the heralded Miles Remixed Album which saw the legend Miles Davis reinvented as only Apple Juice Kid could. Recently Apple Juice has produced tracks with several major artists such as Wale (Allido/Interscope), MC Lyte, Camp Lo, Fresh Daily, Donny Goines, Yahzarah, and many more. As well as being the drummer for The Remix Project, Apple Juice Kid joins Suede (Camp Lo) to form the genre bending group Freebass 808. The next 808 release, following their Moonbass EP, is titled Chakra and will be released early October with the first single “Rewind” featuring Jovi Rockwell of Major Lazer.<br /><br />The Remix Project has been seen backing up some of your favorite live experiences as they backed up all the artists at the Nice And Smooth Tribute that was hosted by 9th Wonder and True School. Along with this event they have backed up the always entertaining Fat Man Scoop at SOB’s in New York City where he stated “I love this f*#king band.”<br /><br />This project combines a live instrumentation of classic Hip-Hop songs that transitions flawlessly for 22 tracks of listening pleasure andis available for free download/stream thanks to illRoots.com and Okayplayer.com Now.<br /><br /><a href="http://theremixproject.bandcamp.com/">DOWNLOAD</a>Ronhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07177420783643781358noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2414201428737866674.post-53917665630995877842009-08-19T15:38:00.001-07:002009-08-19T16:26:26.018-07:00Rahi High<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigG1pxPae282S2WVdOn3jN5D7nd4STsJaSj2pVbvrRxMpvwQ4hxo1lo1DzcM5vgewsJHNksiv0Redja1yPozS8wA7W0JKL4EmT1lQJpWej5M7vJdb2sGlaBr_mSH-OEl9lOojecodVNuEw/s1600-h/photo.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigG1pxPae282S2WVdOn3jN5D7nd4STsJaSj2pVbvrRxMpvwQ4hxo1lo1DzcM5vgewsJHNksiv0Redja1yPozS8wA7W0JKL4EmT1lQJpWej5M7vJdb2sGlaBr_mSH-OEl9lOojecodVNuEw/s400/photo.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5371808091646664690" /></a><br /><br /><br />You never know when you are going to discover good music, in this case good music bumped into me.<br /><br />Here I am rushing to class after having dinner with my sweetheart and I hear a melodic acoustic guitare and a rhasby voiced brother with mad soul. Of course I took a few minutes to just listen to this soul brother. He sang Rome and I also caught Bernadette. I actually purchased a cd and I'm listening to it on the regular but also I make other people listen to him to get that sound around. I don't understand that we can have 12 Chris Brown clones or what ever flavor of the month pop artist that's out there and this brother cannot get a record deal !<br /><br />Anyways back to my story, I was on the corner of Ste-Catherine and Guy and I told Rahi the he needs to go on the plateau hopefully he listened but he was sucha nice guy, down to earth and I wish him all the succes and love in the world.

The names The Brandnew Heavies, Jamiroquai, Incognito, Groove Collective to name a few we're pioneers of this musical mouvement. It was a mix of funk, soul, jazz hip hop. Nowadays acid jazz is dead as disco but I was able to find this lovely compilation Jazzy Kozmonaut and it's just majestic. Jazzy, smooth instrumental tracks from The Jazzual Suspects, Rinocerose, Presto, Mark Farina and others. This is a must for any music lover. I got it from <a href="http://beatboxradioshow.blogspot.com/">Beatbox Radio Show</a> and their blog is full of wonderful little surprises.<br /><br />Various Artists - Jazzy Kozmonaut (2009)<br /><br />01.

The biggest one is The Montreal Jazz Festival and Stevie Wonder was closing the festival. Of course I missed it but I heard it was a good show and he did an homage to MJ who had just passed away at the time. I was touched by that so I pulled out my old Stevie Wonder cds (imagine nowadays CD's are considered old technology).<br /><br />While in this Wonderful mood, I was browsing a few of my favorite blogs and I fell upon DJ Nophrills Living Legends vol.1 a compilation featuring Stevie Wonder, Prince, Al Green, Shakah Khan and a few more. I knew most of the songs (late 70's early 80's Funk, Soul and Pop) but it's just nice to have then all mixed together.<br /><br />This mixtape is perfect for a in-house social gathering and it's a booty shaker guaranteed. <a href="http://www.coast2coastmixtapes.com/blog/lilfats/2009/07/dj-nophrillz-living-legends-vol-1.html">Here it is </a>for free, T, this one's for you and stop complaining that I post too much hip hop.

If you don’t know, the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fantasia_festival">Fantasia Film Festi</a>val is a unique experience, people go for the movies but come back for the atmosphere waitinging in line for a flick is an awesome experience. Fantasia’s been around since 1996 and it's by far the most exciting, innovative example of international genre cinema. The amphasis is on films that are rarely seen in North America. It ‘s very popular in Montreal and part of oh so many festivals that we have.<br /><br />You like horror Fantasia will hook you up, you need a fix for bizarre documentaries Fantasia’s got’cha. Outlandish freakish gothic cinema is your thing, check out Fantasia. There's anime (Manga) old kung fu flicks even laugh out loud comedies.<br /><br />Hopefully I will be able to attend this year, I’ve heard rumors that it was very difficult to finance fantasia in 2009 simply because Prime Minister Harper (a G W. Bush clone gone bad) decided to cut on cultural budgeting but they are back and hopefully this year is going to be as good if not better then the previous year. I will do my best to cover as much material possible.<br /><br />Peace & I’m out<br /><br />GVzRonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07177420783643781358noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2414201428737866674.post-12320993186565620232009-05-31T06:16:00.000-07:002009-05-31T06:31:16.438-07:00thegoodvibez#018<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWfItT2EhpAK8PCzgif0sA7cQuh8jcN7YLYvnH8VoRC1W6hXUJK2hD2f0b_FmyotCfM0Fv2pcPlg8zjStF9tKoWQpf7gfqHtmCteaO8UzoZqha23JsG3tmZp2aQj3d1RCjLmJYFNjXVEpo/s1600-h/thegoodvibezartwork%23018b(F).jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWfItT2EhpAK8PCzgif0sA7cQuh8jcN7YLYvnH8VoRC1W6hXUJK2hD2f0b_FmyotCfM0Fv2pcPlg8zjStF9tKoWQpf7gfqHtmCteaO8UzoZqha23JsG3tmZp2aQj3d1RCjLmJYFNjXVEpo/s400/thegoodvibezartwork%23018b(F).jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5341976655521837298" /></a><br /><br /><br />Thegoodvibez#018<br /><br />It’s time for another original thegoodvibez mix. So for this chapter, I concocted a mix of Chilled out vibes that includes some jazzy hip-hop, some downtempo electronica, and some silky smooth soul. Sometimes I like to raise the roof however that mix will put babies to sleep. My favorite track we’re very hard to choose as usual but the opening track: Poetry ft. Q-Tip, Erykah Badu & MeShell N'degeocello by <a href="http://www.vervemusicgroup.com/royhargrove">Roy Hargrove</a> from the album The RH Factor: Hard Groove is simply majestic, Roy Hargrove is the horn of our generation and if you are not into jazz look him he’s worth it and he’s definitely not your grandpa’s jazzman. Then I have to show love to <a href="http://www.misteurvalaire.ca/">Misteur Valaire</a> with the track Press 2 from the album Friterday Night. These cats are just doing their thing; their music is an amalgamation of jazz, techno and hip-hop. Their album is free but I would of gladly paid for their music. Last but not least is This Beat by The Jazzual Suspects part of the mushroom jazz series mixed by <a href="http://www.om-records.com/artists/mark_farina">DJ Mark Farina</a> from <a href="http://www.om-records.com/">OM Records</a> and I’ve been following that series since the beginning (late 90’s) I have all the volumes and Farina never ceases to amaze me. <br /><br />THEGOODVIBEZ#018<br /><br />1-Poetry ft.

They even had a strong hip hop group called <a href="http://www.putsonline.co.uk/">People Under The Stairs</a>. My favorite artists from that Label are DJ <a href="http://www.markfarina.net/">Mark Farina </a>famous for his Mushroom Jazz series, <a href="http://www.kaskademusic.com/">Kaskade</a>, <a href="http://www.om-records.com/artists/samantha_james">Samantha James</a>, and <a href="http://www.djcolette.com/">DJ Collette</a>. The Last purchase I made was <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Om-Lounge-15-Year-Anniversary/dp/B001T46UJ6">OM Lounge: 15 Year Anniversary </a>and it was some sweet chilled out vibes. Anyways while browsing on their site… at work, I found out they do podcasts and I found a sweet one, strictly downtempo electronica so you can smooth it out some.<br /><br />This is the newest downtempo mix from OM Records recording artist <a href="http://www.om-records.com/artists/cates&dpl">Cates&dpL</a>. Fresh off the release of Through the Weekend, the duo keeps it moving with this moody yet uplifting downtempo set featuring <a href="http://www.thieverycorporation.com/">Thievery Corporation</a>, <a href="http://www.myspace.com/asadrizvi">Asad Rizvi </a>and a couple of their own productions.

In addition to producing <a href="http://www.hallofjustus.com/flash.php">Justus League artists </a>he has also produced for artists such as <a href="http://www.seanprice.com/">Sean Price</a>, <a href="http://mastaace.com/">Masta Ace</a>, and <a href="http://www.myspace.com/jeangrae">Jean Grae</a>. His productions utilize samples of records with intricate melodies and diverse drum beats. He began in his teens, recording tracks from his father's massive jazz and R&B record collection onto tape, and then extracting drum samples to make loops using a dual cassette player. He worked at his college's radio station, WNCU, where he met rapper <a href="http://www.myspace.com/chaundon">Chaundon</a>, who introduced him to <a href="http://www.myspace.com/9thwondermusic">9th Wonder</a>, and while attending North Carolina Central University in Durham, North Carolina, he began an association with the <a href="http://www.hallofjustus.com/">Justus League</a>.

Now a lot of people are saying that he's just a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/9th_Wonder">9th wonder</a> copy however I'm not convinced, I mean their beats are somewhat constructed the same way but that's about it now I'm not gonna take away <a href="http://www.myspace.com/9thwondermusic">9th Wonder's </a>skill but I think in this hip hop world there's enough room for both.<br /><br />Bottom line, this is real dope and it's cool to appreciate just the instrumental aspect of hip hop music.

Of course over the years it gets harder and harder and with less free time my digging session are mostly done on-line however once in a while, on my lunch break from work, I’ll go to a record store have a short but pleasant digging session.<br /><br />That’s how I discovered <a href="http://www.misteurvalaire.ca/">Misteur Valaire</a>. They are a Sherbrook (Canada) based group and do something new and original. It’s a mixture of Jazz, Hip Hop and Electronica. They rocked <a href="http://www.montrealjazzfest.com/default-en.aspx">the International Jazz Festival</a> last year (so it seems) and apparently in live concerts, they will rock the crowd plenty (that’s all I kept reading when I was doing a little research).<br /><br />I love the album, it did take me a few listens to get used to it but it grew on me and just like a nice wine it kept getting better the more I listened to it, the better it got. So if you like electronic music or experimental jazz this is your thing and even if you are not into these genres you can always give it a try. The best part is that’s its totally free. The group wanted to make the album available on-line because they want people to attend their shows (I like the marketing scheme) that’s why you will have to leave your e-mail address before you get the download and it is worth it.<br /><br />It’s a free <a href="http://www.myspace.com/misteurvalaire">DOWNLOAD</a><br />Peace & I’m out !Ronhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07177420783643781358noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2414201428737866674.post-60444545345484192552009-04-07T05:29:00.000-07:002009-04-07T05:42:05.793-07:00Dj J.

I saw the evolution of rap to hip hop. It started with RUN DMC, LL, Fat Boys, Beastie Boys these we’re my first tapes that I got, come to think about it there was some New Edition too but let’s not mention it. On a hot sticky New-York summer night, I was on my way to New-Jersey to see more family and it came on the radio, RAW by Big Daddy Kane and I was like, what is this, this is crazy and my cousin replied yeah that’s Big Daddy Kane, I was like Big Daddy who? And that was it, I was hooked. Big Daddy Kane turned out to be one of my favorite MC’s from the golden age of Hip Hop.<br /><br />From my point of view, Long Live the Kane and It’s a Big Daddy Thing are straight up classics. BDK somewhat fell off after that but only because he was a visionary merging Soul with Rap (which caught on later on) and BDK jumped on the afrocentricity wagon and that didn’t help either for the rap game in 89 was not like it is today.<br /><br />So all that to say on March 27th 2009, he performed in Montreal and I was there rhyming along “Rappers stepping to me they want to get some, But I'm the Kane, so yo, you know the outcome”. The show was great BDK stepped up to the stage with a fedora hat, leather pant and vest with a burgundy shirt (now how pimpin’ is that). He did his repertoire, interacted with the crowd and as the show was coming to an end I taught to myself how hip hop was just simpler back in the days and I was proud to see hip hop grow and also that I was getting old. So to la ya’ll old schoolers I know you gonna dig this and if you are not familiar with Big Daddy’s work here is a chance to discover some legendary music. <a href="http://thediggersunion.com/2009/03/17/dj-j-period-x-big-daddy-kane-the-best-of-big-daddy-kane-hosted-by-bdk-classic-mixtape/">BDK mixed tape, a J.

He lives in Stockport, England, and studied fine art at the Psalter Lane campus of Sheffield Hallam University. b His DJ name was inspired by his scruffy facial hair, as well as his trademark loose-lined drawing style. He has been DJing since 1994, at first in and around Manchester then nationwide. He is known for DJing in marathon sets (often exceeding six hours), his eclectic musical taste, his love of a "nice cup of tea" and the quirky home-produced visuals and animations associated with his music. In an interview he said: "It’s about putting a lot of effort in and paying attention to detail. I get annoyed if I don’t take risks. I’m very hard on myself."<br /><br />Here is a promotional free mixtape from <a href="http://www.mrscruff.com/showscreen.php?site_id=9&screentype=site&screenid=9">Mr. Scruff</a>.

Utilizing a cinéma vérité stylistic approach, the pictorial diptych comprises two merged films entitled The Argentine and Guerrilla. Each part is intentionally illustrated with differing approaches to narrative linearity, camerawork, and aspect ratios; with such duality intended to be reflective of the two military campaigns divergent outcomes. The Argentine (part one) focuses on the Cuban revolution, from the moment Fidel Castro, Guevara and other revolutionaries landed on the Caribbean island, until they successfully toppled the dictatorship of Fulgencio Batista two years later. Guerilla (part two), meanwhile focuses on Che's futile attempt to bring revolution to Bolivia and his early demise.<br /><br />The film itself over four hours long is unfortunately boring and long. The cinematography reminds me of Oliver Stone's JFK. Besides Del Toro who is just magnificent once again, the supporting cast was weak and the film felt more like a documentary. We do not feel that any relationships we're established. The female lead in the first part is not believable as a guerilla soldier. I would of loved to see more of the relationship between Che and Castro. The second part was somewhat better, the suspense was good but still did not come as important enough.<br /><br />Maybe this will be good for someone who as no idea of who Che Guevara was but from my point of view, I learned nothing new. So I would suggest you pass on that one and keep your money for something else.<br /><br />Peace & I'm Out.Ronhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07177420783643781358noreply@blogger.com1
