Can You Dig It? interviews on digging for records:
Promo MP3s for the new Royalty EP are up on Discobelle -
go get em!
Friday, May 30
Two new records from The Rub and T&A:
In the tradition of Afrika Bambaataa's Death Mix, The Rub's Party
Medleys are crucial ammo for the working DJ's record bag. Each
side features two medleys stitched together, giving DJs enough
time to
switch out laptop between Serato sets, get that much-needed bathroom
break, order a drink, smoke a cigarette or have a quickie and
still make it back before the record runs out. Both sides
are sure to keep the party going, quick-mixing hits by Jay-Z,
Jermaine Dupri, DMX, Rob Base, 45 King, Slick Rick, Biz Markie,
Ginuwine,
Chris Brown, Ciara, Ghost Town DJs, A-Town Players, Soundmaster
T, Splack Pack, Luke Skywalker and 2 Live Crew. This volume features
club rap, classic hip-hop, r&b
and booty bass themed medleys. Limited pressing. buy it at Turntable Lab
The Royalty EP is the debut collaboration between Baltimore's
premier club label since 1994, Unruly Records, and the youngest
in charge, Tittsworth and Ayres' T&A Records. Club King DJ Technics sets it off with "What Not What," a brand new update on the classic Lil Jon "What" Bmore staple, juicing it up with regal horns and synths. Tittsworth ups the
ante with a rowdy remix of M.O.P.'s classic, and Baltimore OG
Scottie B. flips Dilla-era ATCQ on "Find A Way," cleverly swinging the tempo down from club to hip-hop and back up to club. Brick
City's DJ Tameil smooths it out, chopping Kelly Price and infusing
her with a bit of ESG on "Bump Like This." Birmingham's Bamabounce - no stranger to the T&A fam - mashes Say Wut's horns into an insane fight anthem, urging you to "Punchemindaface." Ayres takes the same vocals and chops the hell out of Slayer's evil guitars,
creating quite possibly the hardest club record of all time. buy it at Turntable Lab

There is an article in the New York Times today about our friend ESPO:
A love of graffiti has gained Steve Powers notoriety on
the streets, fame in the art world and a long arrest sheet. It has
also earned him a Fulbright scholarship. read more
If you missed it, be sure to cop DJ Eleven & Matthew
Africa's "Dirty Raps - The Best of Too $hort" double CD. Available
at Turntable Lab and bootleggers worldwide.
Chino and Reas's
Mascots
and Mugs traces
the history of the character in graffiti from the early days to now.
It is being called the best graff book since Subway
Art. Chino has a new book with Sacha Jenkins (Ego Trip) called Piecebook, which we're excited to pick up.
Also wildly interesting is Chino's Blog, where he posts everything from graffiti-related news to robot dogs to Sean Bell to fish that live in subway cars!
the
best album of the year so far, Santogold, comes out today! If you
saw Santi with The Rub and Spankrock at the McCarren Pool party,
or on Conan O'Brian last night, or saw her video on MTV2 or heard
her music on Hot 97 or BBC Radio1, you already know. Honestly if
you like music at all you need Santogold in your life, I cannot stress this enough! Watch and listen here, then go see Santogold perform tonight at Virgin Megastore in Union Square at
7PM, and buy the CD.
Couple of new Baltimore-Not-Baltimore releases from Ayres & Tittsworth
