BSOTS 057 - blends session: now, that's a FIRE...
Now Playing: top 30 of 2007 (16-30) at ejflavors.com
Topic: my podcasts

hey there. happy new year. it's 2008 and you can expect more blend sessions outta me this year, for sure. with the amount of hip-hop tracks that i found over at ioda promonet, plus the material that i was sent by the good people at foundation media, a continuous mix was absolutely necessary. about a third of the selections in this mix are off the rawkus 50 label, a strictly digital campaign by rawkus records, reinventing themselves for a new generation of hip-hop listeners and a constantly changing music business.

the mix kicks off with a soulful cut from doujah raze, founding member of trilogy records. from there it's on to intricate minds, a five-member crew straight outta alberta, canada. after that, we head down to the "d"...as in detroit, for a track from finale, an mc that j-dilla allegedly referred to as "the best mc in detroit," according to the liner notes on the rawkus 50 sampler. keep an eye out for d. huston's album dropping later this year. if his debut single is any indication of what we have to look forward to, he's gonna be a contender in the game. think twice takes us back up to canada for one of my favorite songs in the mix. as a producer, he definitely has that early '90s boom bap down pat and he proves to be a double threat with lyrics to boot. meanwhile, the together brothers back up the time-tested slogan "don't mess with texas." the houston duo brings a little pimp swagger to the session, flipping donald byrd's "wind parade" with neck-snapping results.

the1shanti lives in brooklyn and helped start the soulspazm imprint for rawkus as well as his own flatbush junction label. interesting quote from his myrawkus page: "Last year, Afrika Bambaataa dubbed me India Bambaataa for being the first emcee to break hip hop commercially in India." pretty damn cool when you think about it. quick stop over to dirty jersey for a sweet instrumental from maleet, which segues into a joint from zimbabwe legit, one of the first african rap groups to gain international acclaim. mike g of the jungle brothers joins them for a guest spot. after that, a pair of instrumentals to add a different vibe: the first from the flavor foundation, the second from modaji (aka dodgy mo). the former has a hint of middle eastern influence while the latter is that midtempo soul, a understated funkiness to it all. can't explain it - it's just hot, trust me.

gotta do better about representing for my heads around the way in 2008. with that in mind, the last part of the mix showcases some freestyle skills via my man baba israel. following that is the first single from duo live's latest album, which features talib kweli spittin' a verse. had to include scavone's joint, which is dedicated to all my heads who have ever been stopped by the police for no good reason. and then there's the cut from mick boogie's dillagence mix tape, featuring busta rhymes doing his thing over dilla's beats. there's so much backwards masking on this version that you'll swear satan himself was rhymin' in a zone, but i'd rather have the radio edit than deal with busta's usual string of "niggas" and "bitches" uttered throughout the track. his usage of both terms is just plain overboard, to the point where he uses them like the rest of us say "man" or "woman." i know i have a podcast and therefore i don't have to worry about keeping it clean for radio and all that, but i wouldn't be able to look at myself in the mirror if i put the dirty version on here. i chose to save your ears from that, and at the end of the day i feel better for it.

closing out the mix is a quick bit from the blastmaster, krs-one, as well as a great introspective cut from ellis (that beat is crazy - dark and kinda paranoid-sounding) and one more mick boogie mixtape selection. sounds like he remixed jay-z's american gangster album using primarily marvin gaye samples. that whole project's available for free download, so if you're curious, just check the track listing below for the link towards the free goods. hope you enjoy this one, and again, expect more blends sessions from me in 2008, be it hip-hop, house, techno, or a mixed bag of different genres...

BSOTS 055 - 40 from the dos double-o-seven... (pt. 1)
Now Playing: sinner's crossroads w/kevin nutt (wfmu.org)
Topic: my podcasts

it's that time again. another year-end retrospective series in the making and i'm feeling pretty good about the way things kick off. lots of heavy hitters in this one, all of them courtesy of ioda promonet.

it's been a while since i had my friends really represent on this show and i don't want to get away from that, so i went back a few years for a seasonal joint from 3rd party. it's an untitled bonus track from a cd they used to sell at their live shows. after that, it's all top-notch joints from 2007. personal favorites from today's show are dj alibi, seun kuti, the dragons, and kraak & smaak. what say you?

for that matter, what was your favorite artist/song/album this year? i want to hear from you - give the voice mail line a call at 206-339-8732 and share your '07 picks with the rest of camp lo-fi...

BSOTS 054 - the netlabel episode...
Now Playing: ellis - one man set up
Topic: my podcasts

it just figures that bazooka joe of solipsistic nation got to do his netlabel show one week before me. i've been wanting to focus on netlabels for a while now. chalk it up to bad timing, which can be par for the course while working with a dial-up connection. there's probably no way that i can post this episode without someone thinking that i stole someone else's concept. oh well. not much i can do about that...

netlabels featured include laced milk technogies, unfoundsound records, lo-kiwi, if else then, and no type.

BSOTS 053 - audio odds and ends...
Now Playing: dj vadim - got to rock feat. zion (aaron jerome remix)
Topic: my podcasts

this show features a little more in the way of electronic selections - had to show love to the digital domain this time out. consider the bleeps and bloops as the meat in the sandwich while a pair of hip-hop joints acts as the bread. one from foundation media, and three each from the podsafe music network and ioda promonet. some pretty good songs this time around, i think.

the show starts off with some killer IDs from bazooka joe of solipsistic nation and my man jonny sonic. and keep your ears on alert for some colorful phone-in commentary from ubuntu jenkins ("BLACK RAGE, WHAT?!?"). speaking of phone-in, dig that new voice mail, y'all: 206-339-8732.

and speaking of dig, if you dig this show, then please digg this show. thanks much...

NEW VOICE MAIL LINE!!!
Now Playing: hired gun - people's verses (smooth brother O mix)
Topic: my podcasts

so i broke down and got yet another voice mail line for the show.  it will actually be a joint voice mail for Radio BSOTS and endless shouting matches with yourself.  it just makes sense to do this way; it's not like i ever got many callers back when i had the voice mail last time.  but i would really like to have one to take into 2008 and actually keep this time without being deactivated.

so here it is:  206-339-8732.  have at it, kids.

um, please?

BSOTS 052 - foundation media showcase
Now Playing: butta verses - war of the roses (feat. cl smooth)
Topic: my podcasts

this show is all about the beautiful friendship between myself and the heads over at foundation media, a marketing firm that has embraced the blogger and podcaster massive for artist support and promotion. all the better for us, 'cause these cats are bringing some serious hip-hop heat from some great independent labels.

the soundbite you hear right before the first song is an excerpt of danny hoch during a live performance of "jails, hospitals, and hip-hop," taken from the no more prisons compilation. the last song featured just happens to be up on ioda promonet as well, so i figured i'd make it easy on heads and provide those buylinks.

remember: if you dig this show, then please digg this show. thanks.

BSOTS 051 - ...and in His arms she fell.
Now Playing: 1010 wins on the AM dial...
Topic: my podcasts

there are opening and closing interludes for this show, which i got from the new Heliocentrics album. it may be the one to top my best of list this year (if the Prefuse 73 joint doesn't edge it out) and was released through Now-Again/Stones Throw. props go out to Foundation Media for access to the Lupe Fiasco cut. keep in mind that i had this in mind to play long before "fiascogate" came about. that whole thing renders me speechless every time i even think about it...

just as a reminder, if you do the digg and you dig this show, then please digg this show. thank you for your support.

prefuse 73 - class of 73 bells
Now Playing: sibot - old back ache
Topic: music appreciation

i have been sitting with the new Prefuse 73 album that drops later this month and it is phenomenal. "Class of 73 Bells" is probably the best choice for a single. it features the School of Seven Bells, a NY-based psychedelic pop outfit. i'm totally new to them, but they sound wonderful on this cut. angelic vocal harmonies wrapped around Prefuse's production - warm, orchestral and dreamy. the alternate take on this song is just as gorgeous, completely classical in arrangement. the biggest surprise, however, is the song "Smoking Red," where Prefuse teams up with Battles drummer John Stanier. the beats are simply brutal and a wall of sound crashes down on you, full of blurred chords and a roaring cloud of samples. for more info on the release and/or to hear samples, click here.

BSOTS 050 - life before BSOTS
Now Playing: two loons for tea - "sunset room" (one of the sexiest podsafe tunes ever...)
Topic: my podcasts

so here we are. episode number 50. man, am i glad this is over with. you can split this over evenly into two parts. the first 20 minutes are pretty upbeat, the last 20 are more reflective and quiet...partially due to volume level issues. voiceovers on this one are my biggest problem with this show. really just the second half.

beyond that, i didn't mention the two great cuts i found on promonet that are included in this show. that's how off my game i was. first off, there's a great updated version of a go-go classic from E.U. in celebration of the 20th anniversary of Spike Lee's School Daze film. (damn, has it really been that long?) closing tune is from Baby Elephant, a new project spearheaded by one of my major musical influences, producer Prince Paul. it's Paul, his longtime friend and collaborator Don Newkirk, and legendary P-Funk musician Bernie Worrell, who also spent time in Talking Heads. lots of special guests on the album, including George Clinton, Nona Hendryx, Yellowman, and David Byrne (who's on guest vocals for "How Does The Brain Wave?")

as promised, this is a show about the projects that i was involved in before Radio BSOTS came around. i go back to my high school days making tape collages, as well as college radio promos, feeble attempts at rocking the mic, and other pieces of silliness. it also goes into ON THE VERGE, the e-mail newsletter that would birth BOTH SIDES. i already know that this episode won't be for everyone, but if you do the digg and you dig this show, then please digg this show. i can't thank you enough for your support.
