Jungle/New Rave Video by "The Coconut Twins" (not sure 'bout that)

Great track but my eyes hurt so bad... ;-)

as i seem to have too much time at the moment and no money do something else (which is the best combination for making mixtapes), i thought, i should maybe spin' some "dubbalin bubbalin!" stuff for my own pleasure and your's too (hopefully). didn't want to withhold it from you. not too much mixing in here. just what happened yesterday night. anyway, nice to listen too - that's what i think! how i chill "aswell".  

how we chill "aswell" (side C) - dub, dub, dub and once again, dub
how we chill "aswell" (side D) - dub and reggae-soul-funk edits  

think i'm out for some time now. from my side enough to listen too so far. exidas, kompact, lemon, sake, continuing rotaug's "radioshow" it on you now. by the way. soon to come: a great mixtape of jah sake aka top notch! take care!

make arista records release Q-tip's masterpiece "kamaal the abstract". the album was to be released in april 2002, but the release was cancelled due to the fact, that the record label deemed the album too "un-commercial." its currently just available on "promos", that became rare and expensive collector's items. lets make it official!! sign the petition

count is at about 10.600 now. shouldn't that be enough already?!   that story definitely reminds me of darc mind's DEBUT album "symtomatic of a greater Ill". this one was not released by loud records back in 1997. just one track (visions of a blur) appeared on "soul in the hole" soundtrack and was released on 12" back then. it was

one of my favourites tracks at that time but noone ever heard anything more about them. 9 years later, anticon made the whole thing available for general public. i think "darc mind" (mc kevroc, x-ray and nick wiz) would definitely have been another classic among names like oc, mobb deep, das efx, diamond d and all the other sounding names of mid, late 90ties. i don't want to know, how annoying it must be to make a (debut) album, which is a pure deep stoic-silent banger and not released!

WHOLETRAIN

 

Florian Gaag tells the story of a crew of four “writers” – David, Tino, Elyas und Achim – who observe the hierarchies, the values, the rules and the codes of the graffiti scene. Night after night they make off for the subway stations of the city, intent on leaving opulent images behind. But as another crew appears on the scene, and the four feel challenged, a creative battle ensues, one that will change the lives of these young people for ever.

We are confronted with life taken to the limit. Constantly on the edge of legality. Always on the run from the law. Urban space must be reclaimed. Friends are made and lost. Unbridled creativity and doing things for the sheer love of it are watchwords too.

 

WHOLETRAIN is an exciting and emotionally gripping drama, one that explores for the first time the secret universe of the graffiti scene. The protagonists exist in a breathless state, suspended somewhere between two worlds: their day to day life, and their existence within the crew. Florian Gaag manages to recount a tale coloured by tension and aggression. The result is a many-sided portrait of characters whose world has never been documented in this way before. Their subculture remains authentic and realistic. Edgy editing and grandiloquent camerawork, a pulsating soundtrack and an excellent ensemble of actors, make WHOLETRAIN a film experience not to be missed. With this fantastic cinema debut

 

The soundtrack was written and produced by Florian Gaag, who worked with legendary figures like Hip Hop greats KRS-One, Freddie Foxxx, O.C., Planet Asia, Afu-Ra, Grand Agent, Tame One, Akrobatik and El Da Sensei. Florain Gaag also managed to convince internationally renowned graffiti artists to work with him, writers such as Neon, Won, Cemnoz, Pure and Ciel, who were responsible for the artwork.
