Beyond the beat generation

There are a million webradio stations out there, but only a handful of true gems. The site called "Beyond the Beat Generation" is definitly one of them.

"Welcome to the world of obscurity. This is an archive - a museum! BEYOND THE BEAT GENERATION archives and publishes the entire, long forgotten 'wild' musical gems out of the great years of the sixties (1965-1969) to a bright audience by using today's technology as we call 'Stream Radio'.

The music formerly known as: Hippie music, Underground, 60's punk, Flower Power, Mod, Free-Form-Freak-out, Garage music, Psychedelia or Teen Beat, the weirdest, the worst, the most powerful and nastiest ever recorded. During the 60's all teens were obsessed by music, but only a few touched surface, all groups wanted to be, sound like, or look like 'The Beatles', 'The Rolling Stones', 'Pink Floyd', 'The Doors', 'Jefferson Airplane' or 'The Velvet Underground'. Music was a movement. Music was the expression of a lifestyle. Music was politics, a protest against establishment, wars and society." (Text taken from the site)

Now head over to www.beyondthebeatgeneration.com, tune in and enjoy...

by Kompact

One of our friends from the Hillbilly Souldiers, namely DJ Hooray, just released a free double feature mix, together with german based DJ Bene, called Just Take 45's. As the title already suggests, strictly hip-hop 45's from 2009 are being used, including my own little collab with 215 The Freshest Kidz called Illuminate. Check this one out, it's definitely worth it!

Recommendation: ending in ing - Slow Songs Vol. 1

04. of February, 2010 | Posted in

by Kompact

The few gems on MySpace are spread far apart, but they exist, ending in ing is one of them. I stumbled across his music about half a year ago on aforementioned platform and he's truly the epitomy of the bedroom producer in my opinion, taken his approach to music is the following: "I make beats using a laptop and some records I’ve salvaged from various places". Period. On his free download album Slow Songs Vol. 1, the London based producer blends his samples in a very eclectic way, easy to listen to, but still deep enough to give you the chills once in a while, especially on my personal favorite: Keep On Loving Me. If one were to find similarities with known artists, I'd place him somewhere between Kid Koala, a little bit of RJD2 and Hint's Portacabin Fever. Check this one out, it's worth it. Eagerly waiting for Volume 2.

Download the album HERE.

Recommendation: Kankick - Opus of Love Deeper Than Flesh

02. of February, 2010 | Posted in

by lens

finally the new Kankick album "Beautiful: Opus of Love Deeper Than Flesh" will be available on vinyl. split up into two parts like his last one and limited to 500 copies worldwide. i'm sure they are goin to be sold out soon. thats why i wanted to let you know that there is pre-order for march. however, news concerning one of my most favourite beatproducers on this planet have to be spreaded immediately ;) plus: another lp is announced for this year: "KanZulu: Full Time Work, Part Time Pay". says it all. so long. buy records, support artists and check the snippets.

Recommendation: Berry Weight - Music For Imaginary Movies

01. of February, 2010 | Posted in

by lens

Lately i stumbled over "Berry Weight". A Canadian/Swiss duo consisting of "Apework & Stab" accompanied by Danish singer "Astrid Engberg" and French clarinetist "Kledsy Jy". They dropped their last album "Music for Imaginary Movies" about one week ago. Vinyl friends still have to wait for the vinyl to be released.

As far as i can say, the music is some kind of mixture of Wax Tailor, Prefuse 73, Birdy Nam Nam, Feist & Berry Weight with harmonizing storybook-like melodies and cinematic atmospheres - which you will find out, if you listen through. Very nice one, especially for listening friends. Don't expect this to be a Dj-Tool.

Last but not least: on their website they offer some nice packages with either cd or vinyl and shirt or ltd edition skateboard, print, ... and so on. check it out, put the needle to the groove, kick back, relax and watch your imaginary movie. nice work and whole package.
