Recommendation: Kalhex feat. Grap Luva & Rob O

News from my homies Lex, Parental & Le Makizar in Paris. After an incredible debut album in 2009 (about which I blogged back then) and a great instrumental 2LP by Lex de Kalhex called "Perfect Picture" from last year, they have been teaming up with "Grap Luva" and "Rob O" for their next and soon to come 12inch "Perspectives/La Fine Ligne" on Akromégalie Records.

Kalhex, Rob O & Grap Luva rhyming over the instrumentals of Lex and Parental. Rob O gets a nice laid back INI kind of treatment and Grap Luva rocks an uplifting boom bapish beat with nice layers that make only listening to the beat an odyssee. The record includes vocal, instrumental and (yeeeah, we like that!) also the acapellas (I always figured it being really sad, that this kind of early hip hop phenomenon stopped at some point). But that's not all. The record features two bonus beats by Parental and Le Makizar in addition to that and they also really hit my nerves. Heard them all and more of that ... and believe me; this one is going to be a must have aswell as the rest that seems to come in future! What else to expect from my favourite french producers on the mic. Enjoy! Support artists! Buy records! Originally blogged on "sirlensalot meets lens j"

I filmed a little something with my phone when I joined them for the mastering session last week - its a part of the bonus beat by Le Makizar.

Finding interesting music can be a tedious task in the area, but since my last stay the situation has definitely improved. Below you find links to some labels, collectives and producers in the area. A good overview(though the links are kinda outdated) can be found kongkretebass.com. The platform was founded by Hong Kong based producer DJ Wash, who also hosts the Kongkast, a podcast, which is relaesed twice a month. If you want to see him live, he is currently touring Germany. - Event recommendation in Dresden
Another forward thinking label is Dubtemple Records, based in Brisbane, Australia. Their releases a free for download from the link above. Two of them immediately caught my attention: Blood Dunza and Bunda. Also check the Lee Scratch Perry Beat Tape - compilation.
In Singapore an audiovisual collective called Syndicate SG is filling the void. Check out the amazing sound of Jonathan Nah aka KIAT(you can buy his releases on Qilin) Further have a listen to other artists of the collective on their soundcloud page.
Thailand seems to be a little behind on the heavy bass music but If you are into Disco, definitely check Jaree Thanapuras, Grammaphon Children.

So far so good; lot´s of links, i know.
Have a listen, support the artists and enjoy.

Artist discovery of the day: Lam Pei

12. of January, 2012 | Posted in FeaturedComic Featured, Comic

 by Gandl

While exploring the streets of Hong Kong, we stumbled upon an artist space called Jockey Club Creative Arts Centre.

There are a dozens of artist studios, classrooms and galleries spread across 7 floors.

One artist that caught our eye was Lam Pei, who was so kind to invite us into her studio.

She was born in Hong Kong, grew up in a Government Public Estate. Her parents are Indonesian overseas Chinese. Recently, she is working diligently in expressing her intermost rolling emotions by comic drawings. She believes that experiences and recollections are very important for her. Reciting her recollections through her own creative way has become a concrete record of her daily life. Being a free lance graphic and multi-media designer and illustrator, she shares a studio at the Jockey Club Creative Arts Centre (JCCAC, L5-23) with three other friends. (text taken from homepage)

You can check out her work either on Facebook or on her own website.

finally I found the time to finish and upload the B-side so feel free to download and hit the Project Page to find the playlist. Enjoy a smooth and laidback collection of some of my most favourite conscious tracks and artists over the last years. A short little glimps in that mindelevating lyrical potential HipHop has (can have) far from commerce and bling!bling! This one finally also features Omid & H.I.M.N.L.'s mind- blowing track "For her souly, ...". For some reason I could never manage to put it on a tape before, but however; lay back, enjoy and you MAY listen to the words they speak!

Greets from Paris fam and watch out. Kalhex is teaming up with Rob O and Grap Luva on their next 12inch. Very nice package indeed. I listened to it all, but more on that soon. Now enjoy and DOWNLOAD. (mp3)
