checkout the documentary here

a new mix by his alterego Six Vicious is available here

Sixtoo is on some entirely other shit. Sampling live as opposed to sampling records. Playing as a musician instead of a collage-artist. Working with people that can help to fully realize the ideas within the music, as opposed to strangling ideas in order to keep them contained and manageable. His new album entitled "jackals and vipers in ency of man" is out NOW on Ninja Tune. (text taken from rhiz.org)

Montreal's Ghislain Poirier is obsessed with big, dirty beats, an affliction that causes him create some of the most out of control ragga style riddims, and deconstructed abstract hip-hop to date.

In the past Poirier has collaborated with MC's and DJ's from across the globe, working with NYC's resident Large cats MC Beans (Warp) and DJ Rupture (Tigerbeat6), as well as Parisian heavy weights TTC (Big Dada) and London's Lotek Hi-Fi (Big Dada) amongst others. (text taken from rhiz.org)

you know i can't stay away from the turntables. thats why i won't withhold the 1st side of my new mixtape from you:

the "heroes" symphony (side AA) by lens jadepfahl

namegiving for this mixtape is the "heroes" symphony of philip glass, who - in my opinion - is one of the best composers of the 21st century. that's why i decided to dedicate the first 8.57 minutes, that shall be the "intro" to what is happening afterwards, to him and his music. for me it somehow reflects life nowadays. the repetitions, the way he's composing. for me his music somehow is a mirror of the urban city, subway situations, traffic, nature. it is absolutely atmosphere creating and changing the vision (maybe you remember koyaniskatsi)

the second part of the mixtape's first side is a melange of breakcore, jungle, hip hop and electronica, which reflects same life, but in another way!

"heroes symphony" (side AA)

Philip Glass - abdulmajid

Elektro 4 - daily meditation/after shocks VS

Bizzy B - creation

Radiohead - pulk/pull revolving doors

Amen Andrews - amen andrews

Wu Tang Clan - bring the ruckus

Amen Andrews - junglism

Busta Rhymes - woo ha (origin unknown rmx) VS

Twisting Lion feat. Super Sonic - one'o'clock (freestyle mix) VS

Masta Ace - born to roll '95 VS

Dj Fresh - dope demand

If You Don't Work You Can't Eat!!!!

R.I.P Bobby Byrd!!!!

1934 - 2007

best known as James Brown's longtime sideman and co-vocalist. Byrd recorded many solo funk tracks, most famously "I Know You Got Soul" (1971), which have been sampled by musicians including Public Enemy, Eric B. & Rakim, Ice Cube, LL Cool J and A Tribe Called Quest. He was the original leader and founder of The Famous Flames, the vocal group with which James Brown first became famous. Byrd is actually the man who discovered James Brown.

get yourself some more information about this great project of my mate alex nikolic and his buddies, who founded Slum-TV:

SLUM-TV wants to documents the lives of the people in the slum and to reevaluate these lives through the camera. A camera always attracts attention. Our partners from the slum film and document the life in Mathare. The small movies are then shown in public places in Mathare, like a newsreel. In Mathare, there exist a variety of self-established cinemas. Mostly American and African films and European football is shown there. (text taken from website)

In 2006, during our stay in Kenya in the framework of the Groupexhibition “economy class” at the Alliance Francaise in Nairobi we managed to establish a very productive cooperation with the artists and photographers Sam Hopkins, Fred Otieno and Julius Mwelu. Together we documented and realised Lukas Pusch’s Performance “Vienna Voodoo”, which was done in Mathare. Mathare is the biggest slum in Kenya with approximately 700 000 inhabitants without electricity, running water and a sewage system. During our filming, Fred and Julius told us about the premiere of a German documentary movie for which they had done the camera work two years earlier. Suddenly they became sad and thought that this is odd because approximately one third of the people appearing in the film, have died in the meantime; and the movie is their only memory.

The foundation of SLUM-TV

SLUM-TV wants to documents the lives of the people in the slum and to reevaluate these lives through the camera. A camera always attracts attention. Our partners from the slum film and document the life in Mathare. The small movies are then shown in public places in Mathare, like a newsreel. In Mathare, there exist a variety of self-established cinemas. Mostly American and African films and European football is shown there.

Analogous to weekly news-shows in the early age of television our partners want to show their contributions in these cinemas, and maybe to charge a small entree fee in order to finance videotapes and other material. Copies of the videos are sent to Vienna. We will also try to distribute them under “Creative Common” licenses. That means non profit orientated community TV’s could use material for free, but has to name authors. All other users would have to pay. From the proceeds the manufacturers in the slums benefit again.

you will definitly enjoy this...
