Cut Chemist, Apollo, Shortkut in S.A.

Exponential — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 22:23:55 GMT

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

Exponential — Sun, 27 Sep 2009 01:16:19 GMT

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.
