Nice Rec is a name you should be familiar with by now strictly based on the strength of the first two installments of his Boogieman mix series that have been posted here, each of which contains so many hot joints that it is kind of ridiculous. But now he is now blowing shit up on [...]
So this is part two, just trying to keep the focus on a couple records per post! Here’s some ill Detroit, Chicago, and NYC records I’ve picked up recently…. Any time Reggie Dokes releases a new record, it’s a good thing! When he is starting a new label, you know it means he’s gonna bring [...]
So yeah. I’ve been slacking yet again on new record posts, and it has really backed up enough that I’m not even gonna try to do them all in one go. I imagine this will take two or three posts, so bear with me. Pictured above is Chancho Via Circuito at his debut Pittsburgh appearance [...]
There’s been so much great music coming out lately and I haven’t written about records in a long time so I decided to do a Top 20 chart for March and April with some commentary on each one. Listed in alphabetical order because I couldn’t really rank them and besides, I don’t want anybody to [...]
Wow, the last post I delivered certainly received a lot of feedback. Much appreciated to all those who replied and gave their two-cents worth. If I had the wherewitall and the time, I’d love to promote a Sunday afternoon gig that would be family-friendly – preferably outdoors in good weather, with a BBQ and a [...]
instead of posting my entire top 50 records of 2010, I just want to call all you fools out on a bunch of records you – at your own peril – almost certainly did not pick up last year. i know i’ve mentioned most of these several times on here already but judging from the [...]
This would have come a lot earlier, but an order I made from the UK in late ’10 took until about two weeks ago to get in. Since I already had waited that long, I figured a couple more weeks wouldn’t matter while I waited for more new shit to arrive. Now it’s all here! [...]
My homeboys Adam Ratana and Preslav Lefterov (you may remember my mentioning them here) and I have been working together on a musical project for the past few months that we call Pittsburgh Track Authority. The first joints from this project will be seeing the light of day very soon through Uzuri Recordings, who have [...]
OK, this one is gonna be a lil bit long, but instead of making a bunch of separate posts I’m just gonna throw a load of different stuff in together. January isn’t generally seen as that busy a month in music so apologies for the lack of posts. Looking at a bunch of my recent [...]
Apparently, Theo Parrish is pissing people off by charging more than the “standard” amount of money for some of his new “limited” records. This is something Moodymann has been criticized for in the past as well. In fact, I criticized DeepChord for similar practices in a post 3 years ago. I have to say that [...]
