Mystery Meat – Underground Hip Hop Mix ///

May 6, 2022 //
0

In 1998 a high school friend of mine gave me a mixtape of rare underground hip hop I had never heard before. She had a friend from NYC that made the tape for her and she passed it along to me. The tape blew my mind and I immediately started to search for who the artists were from the mix. As a result I discovered the classic albums “Book of Human Language” by Aceyalone and “Dr. Octagon” by Kool Keith along with many other legendary underground artists featured on this tape.

Mixcloud Original Tracklist:
01 T-Love – What’s My Name? (3/4)
02 Buck 65 – Untitled 4
03 Aceyalone- The Energy
04 Aceyalone- The Hurt
05 Latryx – The Bumpin Contraption (The Recalibration)
06 Eligh – Coincidence (To Find You)
07 Dr. Octagon (Kool Keith) – Blue Flowers (Photek mix)
08 Chief Xcel, Gift of Gab, Lateef- Fully Charged On Planet X
09 The Grouch feat. Eligh – Neglected
10 Omid, Aceyalone & Self Jupiter – When the Sun Took a Day Off
11 Farm Fresh – I’ll Take You Home
12 Haiku De’tat (Myka 9, Abstract Rude & Aceyalone) – Still Rappin
13 Siah – Repetition
14 Abstract Tribe Unique – Yesterday and Today
15 Sir Menelik – Physical Jewels (DJ Red remix)
16 Freestyle Fellowship – Convolutions
17 ???

Garfunkle – We Are Waves ///

June 19, 2019 //
0

Garfunkle – the bio-engineering scientist by day and producer on the keys by night, returns with his new release “We Are Waves”.

Ursula K. Leguin’s translation of the Tao Te Ching includes some of her commentary along the way. “We are waves. It is the sea,” she wrote, It being capital-I It, the Way. (This commentary is on a verse that includes the line “To know harmony/ is to know what’s eternal.” Hmm.) This album, these songs, do not represent some sort of reduction of Taoist principles, but the process is – always – an attempt to lose the self in it (It?). The wave is clearly less than the sea, and yet the wave is the sea. These songs, the end result of letting what happens happen, are some solid joints, and I hope the joy of the process shines through here.

These were recorded in 2018 and 2019, and the album was finished as I prepared to move with my family, feeling very much tossed by the sea, and making every attempt to embrace the change and consider how the sea’s waves are all essentially interconnected through the ocean, something vastly larger than any individual wave and that we know very little of.

I’ll also say that “we are waves” is a reference not only to Ursula K. Leguin’s commentary, but also to a fundamental physical truth about what we are. Some of that thinking pops up in “electrical output,” one of two tracks featuring vocal samples.

Well, this is all high-minded and I mean it as well as plenty more where words fail. Thirteen jams, held together as an all-but-completely instrumental album that I hope you’ll enjoy.

Abjo - Obrigado!

 

Welcome to Obrigado!: a brazilian inspired beat “mixtape”, full of released and unreleased beats of mine that fit in the category of beats coming from minha alma (my soul, for the natively english speaking folks).

This mixtape is my prequel to a long awaited, much anticipated, thoroughly contemplated KC.93/Midnight Kids released beat tape, which, still untitled, should be released early spring next year. Until then, take your soul (alma) on a ride and let this be your early reminder that another summer soon comes, and that this is one of many soundtracks to that summer madness…

– the midnight kid.
