Cut Chemist, Apollo, Shortkut in S.A. 

One of the most innovative dj sets I've seen was Dj Shadow and Cut Chemist. These two guys were rocking 8 turntables with loops pedals with 45's only and even started recreating old De La Soul tracks using original 45's. Now San Antonio gets a massive dose of some Cut Chemist thanks to the Clogged Caps peeps and Prhymemates...and not only do you get just Cut Chemist...3 wordlclass djs will be in town tearing some vinyl up. If you have any kind of appreciation for djing or hip hop then this is a must see show with no excuses.

Friends of Friends Vol 2 Out Now 
We have a Music Recommendation for you! Be sure to go have a listen to Friends of Friends Volume 2 ft. Larytta and Bauchamp. Larytta are a pair of Swiss based producers and they have a different approach to the sounds they create. Very interesting and unique dance music...must be something in the Swiss cheese. It's really easy for people to listen to a style of music and create cheap knockoffs but its rare and surprising when you here something a bit new with electronic music. Larytta definitely goes into the category of the people doing something different with dance/electronic music. In case you are unfamiliar with the Friends of Friends model, one producer is invited to release some songs, that producer invites a second one as well as a designer to create artwork which is then placed on an organic tee. You buy the tee and get the album plus a ton of remixes. Check it out at www.fofmusic.net or get it on iTunes. P.S. Lazer Sword went hard on their remix.

Butcher Bear and Charlie Interview 


Butcher Bear & Charlie play this First Friday, September 4th at GET BUSY (@ Limelight, San Antonio) so we thought we'd do a little interview. Interview by DJ Jester the Filipino Fist

Where does the name Butcher Bear & Charlie come from?

Kinda Dumb. I'm Butcher Bear & she's Tennille, but she goes by Charlie. see Reference http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5juK-UrgJG0


You know, I first heard of you from my buddy Bart Koch. He approached me at GET BUSY one night and said you'd be perfect for our party....

Charlie and I were starting to do the Matt & Bart show just a few episodes before Matt left to the upper west side coast for another job..

I have to tell you..this party on September 4th is going to be HUGE. What can the fine folks in SA expect?

There is going to be a real Bear, and a real Charlie. We have some new song Maxxxes we have for y'all. Hopefully some dancing, and I am bringing some presents for the San Antonio. Think yummy sounds good.

I can't stop listening to "Carbomb." Does Butcher Bear & Charlie have any music released?

STOP LISTENING TO CARBOMB. until we play it on Friday. We are putting out a 4-song 12" that comes out next February.

I read in the Austin Chronicle you have your own label, (iN)SECT Records. What's that all about? How long has it been around and who is on your roster?

It's a tiny label that i run. My first release was last November, so we're still baby sized. I'm putting out bands that i love, all by people that I'm a fan of. I've put out This Moment In Black History, they're from Cleveland, California Party Girls which is my friend Lucky Jeremy solo. We used to play in Sean Na Na together, and just Recently, Explosion Horse, which is Clarke Wilson solo, the singer/bass player for Those Peabodys.

45's by: Guilty Simpson over beats by Reaganometry (keys for Attack Formation), the next thing that's coming out in October is the Dudley Perkins/Georgia Anne Muldrow split 45.

12"s by: Reaganometry, Prince Klassen, This Horn of Afrika, Total Sound Group Direct Action Committee, Society of Friends 'discography', and a super limited run of all drum records by Adam Hatley (Those Peabodys, Red X Red M), Tony Nozero (Drums & Tuba, Paul Newman), Trivet Wingo (The Sword) and Eric Conn (Tia Carrera, Those Peabodys).

And we already put out a couple things to.

You still doin' Attack Formation?

Yep. We've been recording the last bits of stuff at our house. But we have an entire record done, just need to mix it. The next show we're playing is our yearly ATTAK (iN)FORMATION show in January.

I see you are a fan of Dudley Perkins aka Declaime. I always thought Fatlip and Dudley Perkins would make a cool combo. Don't ask me why. I think they both understand "lonely." If Butcher Bear & Charlie could collaborate with another group, who would it be and why?

I totally get what you mean. He's an old soul. The way the raw emotions come out over the speakers is great. I've only talked to Dudley through e-mail, but I'm a huge fan of his and Georgia Anne Muldrow. I'm totally blessed to be able to put out a record for them. and the songs they gave me were banging. I think we could rip shit up with Spank Rock. Dream List would be, in no order: RAS G, Jack White, Martyn and DJ Mel.

What's next for ya'll?

Gonna go to the Bay and then to the Chi. But first, how do we play at the San Antonio ZOO? Can anyone help us? I have been putting out a couple of Podcasts too and they are free!

www.butcherbear.podomatic.com
These are mixes I've done for different groups i like.
www.konkarneandthebear.podomatic.com
These are mixes we put out once a month to go along with our monthly night here in Austin at the Rio Rita Cafe y Cantina
