” Bass For Your Face “
When it comes to production, SCOTT HOBBS was one of my mentors…He is the younger brother of David Hobbs (Mr.Mixx) who was one of the co-founders of GHETTO STYLE DJ’s along with being the DJ for the 2 Live Crew…
Back in the day SCOTT was my football coach..After practice sometimes he would slide through with his 707 and program beats….He was nice with the production, but he was also crazy just like his brother with the cuts…
I can vividly remember him playing demo 2 LIVE CREW shit for me (cuss words and all) before they officially blew the fuck up….Anyway, salute to you SCOTT wherever you are for imbedding a deep a appreciation for bass, cutting, programming and all that other shit at a young age…
If you haven’t seen the “BASS THAT ATE MIAMI” documentary as of yet, do yourself a favor and absorb some 304 history…..TWO THUMBS UP!!!
“Produced by: Alex Weir, Chris Walton, Scott Libengood, and Rick Sosa.
Dreamhouse Studios and Cut It Up Def Entertainment are excited to announce the debut of their latest creation, “The Bass That Ate Miami, The Foundation”. This independent documentary is based on the evolution of music in South Florida and the untold story of the hip hop genre known as Miami Bass. South Florida artists, producers and music executives helped evolve this sound into its own unique hip hop dance genre. Miami Bass dominated the airwaves and car speakers from the mid 1980’s to the mid 1990’s. The Miami Bass sound continues to influence many of today’s hottest artists.As hip hop grew and took over different regions of the U.S.; South Florida gave birth to a new style of hip hop that most people don’t realize evolved there. The fast, bass heavy drum beats that are used in pop culture today were created on the street corners of South Florida with huge speakers and massive street parties.
The documentary features segments on Kraftwerk, Electro-Funk, breakdancing, turntableism, drum machine programming (the 808 & the SP1200), the process of record making, car audio exhibitions and of course high energy dance moves.
Some of the main creators of this genre are interviewed including; Afrika Bambaataa (The God Father of Hip Hop), Pretty Tony (The Inventor of Freestyle), Mr. Mixx (One of the Forefathers of Bass), Jim Jonsin, Afro-Rican, Dynamix II and many more producers, deejay’s & artists from the old school to new school.”
” B Boy Morale “
I hope that one day MANE ONE & SON OF JAREL will resurrect the SUPER B-BEAT SHOW…The amount of heavy guest they had was staggering; CRAZY LEGS, DANNY DANN, POPPING PETE, COLD CHRIS, PROFO, ROXRITE, JIMMY CASTOR (RIP), and many others….
Unfortunately all of the links are down for the archived shows, so the next best thing is to rock MANE ONE’s latest mix that is loaded with all types of explosive B Boy action..
” New Shit On Deck “
M9 continues his streak of dropping consistent heat with his latest offering (Martian Dust)…DJ Eets on the boards.
” Wildstyling On Em “
One of my productions was used on the latest ad from the WILD STYLE TECHNICIANS (What up DazeRoc)….
“Spring is in the air and with that comes new Wild Style Techniccians gear. First up to bat is one in the WST “Artist Series”. From Minneapolis and repping for A.R.E. we introduce to you STRAE.

” Midweek Heat “
Any mix that rocks “All Praises Due” by INCREDIBLE EAZE (RIP) is a keeper in my book…..Straight from Japan comes this mix by DJ SK-Y “Represent The Undergound” which contains all types of under the radar material, doubles, blends, etc…

” K Kut Speaks “
When people talk about the classic album by MAIN SOURCE “Breaking Atoms”, they usually discuss the top notch production….Obviously LARGE PRO had his hand in the overall sound of the project, but K Kut along with Sir Scratch brought something to the table as well…
After the trio disbanded “KK” went on to produce for BIG PUN, CITIZEN KANE, MADONNA, and provided straight up heaters for fellow Canadian MAESTRO FRESH WES that should not be overlooked on the BLACK TIE AFFAIR album…A few years back the elusive DJ/ producer rocked a interview with Tochi that is worthy of your seven minutes….
PEEP…
” DJ Fakts One 2015 “
While shaking my head in disbelief after listening to Mr. Lif’s newest material (Go track down some of his 2015 shit and I promise that you will be utterly stunned) I couldn’t help but wonder why he stopped collaborating with FAKTS ONE….
To my surprise FAKTS has a new project out with CURLY CASTRO “Restroy & Debuild” that definitely has its moments….
HIP HOP BATTLEFIELD TOP PICK – “DRY ICE”.
” Hip Hop Treats On Deck “
Ahhhhh shit, this is more like it…..

This Incredible Bongo Band flip is right up my motherfucking alley…
” Walt Sicknin : Chamber Crack “
WALT SICKNIN (KDP) has been dropping consistently fresh material for several years now…The Philly native rocks a highly nasal, off beat – on beat flow that is distinctive and original…
For instance on “Chamber Crack” he hits us with a barrage of out of control bars…
PEEP…
” Piero Umiliani – Continente Nero “
WHEW…
If you need more groove morale in your life, I suggest that you don’t sleep..
“Piero Umiliani was born in 1926 in Florence-Italy. He was a composer of film scores, most famous for his song “Mah Nà Mah Nà” of 1968, that was originally used for a Mondo documentary about Sweden (Svezia, Inferno e Paradiso) and became world-famous in 1977 when performed for The Muppet Show. The song was also an anthem of the Benny Hill show. In his long career Piero Umiliani composed and recorded 190 soundtracks, 40 library albums and 35 TV title themes.”
