Thursday, July 31st, 2008

Our man in NYC, DJ K-Salaam, reppin the Bounty Killer shirt.
In case you haven´t yet - go out and get Salaam´s and Beatnick´s “Whose World Is This” album. The film footage which comes on the DVD alone is worth the purchase, trust me.

More on Salaam soon.

XLR8R: Daseca Interview

Wednesday, July 30th, 2008

Daseca

Jamaican producers Daseca are featured in XLR8R´s “In the Studio” series today:

We’re doing music for the whole world. It’s still dancehall music ‘cause it’s coming from Jamaica. Some people say there’s hip-hop in [what we do], but we’re not trying to build hip-hop, it’s just the vibe that we’re working from. And it is excellent that dancehall is embracing different beats and tempos. We need that. We’re listening to producers like Neptunes, Swizz Beats, and Dr. Dre, but at the same time we’re listening to dancehall producers like Dave Kelly, Jeremy Harding, Sly & Robbie, and all that–those are people we look up to.

Sunday Gun Talk

SmokingGun

CtotheJL always have the sickest gun-inspired designer pieces. While they were featuring some M16 chandeliers from Rock & Royal a few weeks ago, they´re bringing us the smoking guns from Design Glut these days. Diplogold´s transformation of “Guns of Brixton” to “Guns of Brooklyn” feels like a good auditive fit (via The Fader).
