station instrumental video

check it out!



you don't have to like it;)

so eric makes a weekly instrumental mixtape and posts it at various places around the blogosphere, goes by the monicker 'station'. this video is all home made (and documents the path that the canvas in this case takes to become a finished piece of work) and meant to have a raw feel, as is the art and the music he makes. he is working on a longer video that will come out soon, until then, dig the art, music, video and combo-nations.

check out more of his projects here, http://www.myspace.com/stationoftheyear


this is the type of art and video and music that an artist can appreciate.

i will be posting some of his instrumental albums in the future, so be on the look out and for all you judgemental so called elitists out there, welp i'm sure you'll have a hard time wrapping your head around what he's doing and love to hate on it, until then and for now...

seacrest out!

Chris P - “Smack Your Ass, Pull Your Hair“



Something a little different! This is a D'Angelo inspired beat tape. Unfortunatley, I couldnt find very much information on Chris P the producer.

Chris P left the following comments!
"

i’ve worked on this since 2000.

35 beats total.

i only cheated three times: 1 prince sample and 1 digital underground sample (both to enhance the particular beat), and ?uest’s drums from erykah’s “booty” on two beats. other than that, it’s ALL d’angelo samples.

i left everything raw and jagged with some scattered effects. i did a more polished mix (with lots of compression, eq, fx, etc.), but the raw shit was just more dynamic.

i used all original source CD’s, LPs, 12″s, and CDQ bootlegs. and the “smile” remake on itunes.

i tried to incorporate EVERYTHING d’-related, but i didn’t use “water no get enemy” and some of the misc rap features.

done out of 100% love for d’s music. "

Stones Throw fights the noble fight


C-box, who we use as our primary means for interaction on this site, has frozen the chat box in response to a DMCA complaint. I'm waiting to hear from them specifically, but playing the odds, I'd say it's Stones Throw. [update, 2/13 -- heard from c-box...yes, it was Stones Throw]

I did the math: We've made 878 posts over the 3+ years of the blog, many of them containing multiple albums. That's a LOT of instrumental albums upped. Through the years, we've received a few complaints -- less than a dozen -- and we've always honored artists'/labels' requests.

Personally, I disagree with the premise that you can absolutely control digital media. A site like this attracts tastemakers and dedicated fans of the music that will buy your music after they've heard it -- not encased in the webplayer on your site, but on their ipod or car stereo or whatever. However, artists/labels have a right to be stubborn (unenlightened) about this, as the law as written is with them. Besides, some could give a fuck about communities that form around blogs, and would shrug if they disappeared along with their links.

Enter Stones Throw. They've already acquired a reputation of sorts in how they go after blogs and links, so to some this is no surprise. We've put them on our "Do Not Post" list, although as far as I know, two posts have fallen through the cracks since that policy started in '08 -- and have been taken down immediately upon notification. Admittedly, the c-box is a little harder to police.

The difference between Stones Throw and everyone else is that they immediately go to hosts. I suppose it's efficient from their perspective, if it's all about control. If anything, it reveals their relationship to the culture: they invest a lot of money in their brand and culture, as can be seen on their website. But make no mistake, their version of this culture -- beatmaking -- is branded, copyrighted, and controlled. While they have talented producers on their roster, Stones Throw itself? It's a t-shirt.

So keep fighting the noble fight, Stones Throw -- against well-intentioned communities of artists and listeners in the culture you're trying so hard to brand.

And to everyone here -- beatmakers, fans of instrumental hip-hop -- let's keep this place free of Stones Throw.

BPM Increased!

So, I've heard things like, "WTF happened to Strictly Beats?!", "Post up that new ish!", or "Who are these Weirdo producer's?" circulating around the C-Box as of late, and I think I've got something here to kill 2 birds with one stone, so to speak... Basically, at this point, all us poster's have pretty much used up our stock of instrumentals that we were initially just sitting on. I know I've gone through most of my good stuff, and now it's just random tracks here & there, or new albums that are dope, which I myself won't post up. We're covering the new myspace producer's popping up, that the other contributor's feel are dope, along with the occasional mainstream release that makes the ear feel right too. I try to maintain a more ecclectic & off the beaten path sound, along with the occasional mixes I drop. At this point it's really few & far between for me, I haven't heard too much new stuff that grabs me, and the stuff that does is from artists I really appreciate, and won't post up unless they post it up themselves, or we have permission... Plus, there are a LOT less instrumental releases dropping each month, compared to regular albums, and most of what I hear, to me at least, is like 70/30 wack 2 dope. So, it's like trying to serve a big restaurant with extremely limited ingredients, & menu options. If ya feel me on that... We'll continue to post the stuff we like, but bear in mind that our options are getting less & less, etc.

With that said, I'm going to bring something NEW to the table with this following mix! Now, don't plan on this being a recurring thing from me, I just wanted something fresh for your ears. This mix contains nothing but full-on, flat-out club style techno bangers! If y'all like partying/dancing/clubbing out, then this mix is for you. As time goes on, the stereotype's of music fade away, and I notice more & more artists dropping multi-genre styles of sound, and that's what I'm listening to. I know some of you will say, "Get this rave-binky-mouthed-ecstacy-glow-shit out of here!" & I'll appreciate that and want to hear any other comment! Haha... Here is a track for preview from the mix, & expect the rest of it to sound like this also. ENJOY!

BPM Increased
BPM Increased << Alt. Mediafire Link



Alright, to slow things down a little bit, I'm going to bring something REALLY fresh from DDay One, along with the new euro beat-squad, "The Q4", straight out of The Netherlands. The Q4 have actually been around for a minute, since 2005 they started as a 4-man crew, but now are slimmed down to 3. Arts The Beatdoctor, Sense, and STW are who make up the group, and their sound is really dope. On par with other dutch producer's, they really remind me of 40 Winks, etc... They recently released "Sound Surroundings" (which you can find, if you dig for a bit) and I'm going to post up the snippet's for that here. DDay One just dropped a new mix, and the first track was a remix he did for the Q4, I've got that for you also. Track the full album of "Sound Surroundings" down, it's a really dope listen. Enjoy.


The Q4, "Sound Surroundings" Snippets...


The Q4, "Look Again (Dday One Remix)"...


& Finally, MORE PRETTY LIGHTS! Haha, I'm on a heavy kick with this guy lately, probably at my top spot for fave artist of the moment. So, he did some remixes of "The Final Countdown" by Europe, and "Midnight In A Perfect World" by DJ Shadow for his NYE set in Chicago, just in time for the Ball-Drop from '09 to '10, the timing was impeccable, watch some vid's, and I've got both of those tracks here. They are available on his site, along with another remix of "After Midnight" by JJ Cale (didn't include that though, lyrics...) but they're extended & have a whole bunch of talking & shit. I chopped 'em up & have the quality guts for you here with these following two tracks. Get down with these, and you ALL should get down with this dude while he's on tour, for real, GO SEE HIM LIVE, it was easily the best show I have ever been to, & I already have tickets for 4 more of his show's on the tour. Follow the banner link to see his tour dates & buy early because all these shows WILL SELL OUT!. Enjoy the banger's fam! I'm going to be out for a minute, so until next time, PEACE!!!

Ghostface Killah - Supreme Clientele



01. Nutmeg
02. One
03. Saturday Nite

05. Apollo Kids
06. The Grain
07. Buck 50
08. Mighty Healthy

12. Malcolm
13. Who Would You Fuck
14. Child's Play
15. Cher Chez La Ghost
16. Wu Banga 101

10 years ago, Ghostface decided it would be a good idea to involve RZA in making a Wu record. It turned out he was right, as this album is noted for "saving the Wu".

For the 10 of you who fell for Dreddy Kruger's evil scheme of selling internet rips on CDR and not even checking if they didn't skip, this is the vinyl rip. This cover just looks better.

Oh No - Dr. No's Ethiopium [no link]


Oh No going all Dr. No on some 60s - 70s Ethiopian records. As someone with an East African heritage and love for instrumentals I enjoy the idea of this. As a beat maker with access to similar songs I'm kicking myself for not doing this first.

Split up tracks unlike the other version out there. That might justify this post being late (and possibly a mirage).

[original post -- i dunno]
