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 A good overview(though the links are kinda outdated) can be found kongkretebass.com.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.

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)


I was really very much looking forward for that to happen and finally "its ooooon!" So take your chance an WIN THE LAST seperately available copy of the vinylpostcard (ltd 33+2 pieces) by ONLY posting a comment to the blogpost on the SPLIT PERSONALITY blog.

The lottery will run on until December 4th, 11:55, CET. From here its your decision if you want to give 2 minutes of your precious time to read the blog and post a comment. That's actually just ... "one time" not checking facebook updates ... enjoy and good luck!

Find out more about that mixed media installation on the project's website. The vinylpostcard is part of that installation (ldt 3+2). Also check the nice post by dj food about my postcard and the Stepkids one on Stones Throw.

Comments regarding the lottery are ONLY CONSIDERED via the splitpersonality blog, but STILL: feel free to drop your thoughts here too. Always enjoying feedback. Makes sense to post blogs. Thx!


I'm proud to announce, that "Strictly Kev alias DjFood/Ninja Tune" wrote "a little something" about my "lenscapes #02" vinylpostcard project and the one Stepkids just recently released as a bonus to their album on "Stones Throw". He was quick enough to grab THE LAST remaining vinyl postcard that was for sale and I'm really glad he did. Now head over to djfood.org or find information about the project on the beta of the future "lenscapes_02" project subsite.



BIG THANK YOU everyone for your support, of course to Strictly Kev for taking the message further than his "P.O.-Box"!!! Glad that "carrier-pigeon" found its way to London. And I'm working on the next one for all that missed out.

One more chance: the last remaining one (not counting my personal copies and those that belong to the installation) will be in a little quiz on splitpersonality.at soon... stay tuned!

(Hat tip again to Blogrebellen Kreuzberg)

A nice little update from the mashup front for all true hiphop lovers and afrobeat connoisseurs... De La Soul needs no introduction. Fela Kuti needs no introduction. Amerigo Gazaway of Gummy Soul was brave enough to let this two musical heavyweights clash... and i love the outcome.

A truly dope hip hop mash up album with a strong afrobeat feel to it. But the best thing about it is, it´s available as a FREE DOWNLOAD ALBUM at his BANDCAMP SITE.

Enjoy...

 

 

Back again with a little update on one of my most favourite Producers and MCs called "Doctor Becket" teaming up with Illustrator, Caricaturist, and Producer "Grant P" for this very nice 7 inch that was just (7/2011) recently released. "The Other Way" mainly includes remixes and interludes and still each track somehow sounds new to me again. Different flows over different instrumentals creating different atmospheres. Doctor Becket already showed that to me with "Everybody" and "Everybody (Remix)" - slightly modified lyrics over two beats that could actually not be more different; but each a classic of its own.

Don't know if you'll feel that way or "the other way", but for me there's nothing more to say, than one thing. You should be quick and safe your copy; as far as I know around 110 of them has been pressed ... not too much. Check THIS SITE (grant p) to order your copy directly from him and THAT SITE (doc bec bandcamp) to download digitally or listen through. Psssssst, seems like another one will be following soon - stay tuned and down for some more underground noone should actually be missing. Check some of Grant P's really nice Hip Hop instrumentals on this youtube channel (LINK to just one of my favs), you will be stunned! And here's one of the tracks (produced by Grant P) for free download one of his soundclouds - very productive guy this Grant P!!!
