It’s hump day and like all weeks, you are close enough to the weekend to taste it, but far enough away to be at the bottom of your dispair about never getting there.  Buck up, here’s some items that should help get you through…we can do this, together (cue sappy/inspirational music in 3…2…1).

Corina Corina ‘O.D. Love’ (Deto-22 Remix)

Hot off the griddle from BK songstress Corina Corina and remixed by 1/4 of CT’s Phenetiks Crew, Deto-22.  I wouldn’t sleep if I were you…

Paper Tiger – The Sting feat Homeboy Sandman

New heater from Paper Tiger of the UK, not Doomtree’s Brooklyn Transplant (shouts to E. Lit on the correction; check dude’s blog.  Got some really insightful reviews in there) featuring NYC’s Stones Throw representative Homeboy Sandman; 7″ out on 5/13 via UK based Wah Wah 45′s which is a great little label out there is you are unfamiliar.

and for my electro heads…

Aesop Rock ‘Harbor is Yours’ (HALO Remix)

Harbor is Yours Remix Cover

Finally making music again, so I thought I’d share this pretty dark take on Aesop Rock’s “Harbor is Yours” one of my favorite tracks of his seminal album ‘None Shall Pass’. Enjoy, and if you are in the Bay area at all this saturday you might want to check me out spinning the jams all night at The Legionnaire Saloon and check the flyer as it came out pretty awesome, my comic nerds will know you that uber hot chick is. Word.

Get Down Tuesday

Got a couple of fun things for you today along with info on my inaugural DJ night in Oakland tonight.  Hooray!

Ear Peace Records in Berkeley, CA

EarPeaceRecors

Had a chance to rock there this past Friday with the homie Esh The Monolith and it was a BLAST!  These dudes are def on top of the art and gallery game: tons of great pieces from rotating artists about once a month, paint, markers and ink.  In addition to that they have a small but well curated LP and CD section that I had to step away from as I would have dropped DOUGH at the spot.  Check them on the interwebs or on Facebook.  Word.

Esh The Monolith & Arc - Nightworks EP

NightworksCover

The EP has been out for a minute but I thought you should check the song, if you haven’t already, that I inspired called Werewolves Anonymous.  Shouts to ESH & ARC.

TONIGHT @ The Legionnaire Saloon in Oakland, CA!

LegionnaireFlyer

I’ll be doing the damn thing for my 1st DJ set in downtown Oakland since relocating!  9:30 to close; come out for good music, vibes, friendly service and draaaanks.  Start your week with a BANG.  For more info check the Facebooks for the invite (yes, you are invited!) HERE.  If you are unfamiliar with the Legionnaire, it’s the new pub owned and operated by none other than Zack Turner, AKA Prozack Turner of Foreign Legion fame so you know they know how to get down.

Bandcamp Bananas…

Yo.  How’d the week go?  Good, Bad, Ugly?  Well no worries, here’s some music to forget your troubles before you sweat it out tonight at the cluuuub (poppin’ bottles and such is usually how it goes right?).

Fameless Fam – Eat Fly II

New newness from my Boston/Providence/Brooklyn homies who have been doing their thing for a long time now; great compilation of tracks here featuring some great talent.  Didn’t know that dude was down with Fameless Fam?  Well get involved!

Shouts to Emoh Betta, F.Virtue, Falside & Juan Duce

Sole – My Veganisim (Produced by Cars & Trains)

New track from Sole produced by portland super producer Cars & Trains off his newest effort No Wishing Up No Settling Down

Don’t Know Cars & Trains?  Tisk, Tisk…

J La Soul – Departure

This dude has been a talented individual for a long time.  He is finally getting back to the beats: sample laced, jazzy grooves, real deal golden era ish.  Take a listen and get involved.

JAMMERS PIZZA!!!

Enjoy!

Whuttup Wednesday

Posted in Posts on April 24, 2013 by djhalo

Some great items for you this Wednesday so kick for a 15; your boss isn’t up your ass that much today…yeah.

Warrior Bros – Cluster EP

These dudes are the EFFING homies!  Love them (and hate them because they are so young) and was impressed with their live show when i rocked with them at Studio K in Amsterdam a few years back.  If you are unfamiliar with them or their label Basserk, you should really get acquainted…

Basserk Records

Bananas right?

Illogic and Blockhead – Capture the Sun 

Since I heard about this album I was pretty amped, as I’d imagine most fans of either would be, but finally hearing is believing.
