What's got your head nodding / toes tappin' / mind blowing / jeep bouncing / pelvis thrusting etc in music lately... any releases coming up you're waiting on with baited breath? anything you've picked up lately (new or old) that's really doing it for you at the moment?
Personally I'm mildly excited about the RAZOR X "KILLING SOUND" comp on rephlex allthough I wish they didn't sit on it for a f*&king year and a half and it's not the kind of stuff I'll listen to everyday.
I'm also keen to pick up Madlib's 2nd BEAT KONDUCTA LP because the first one was great. Still haven't got a copy of DILLA's "DONUTS" LP either cos the vinyl still hasn't made it to my local stores yet. I wanna hear that GENERAL MALICE LP that's dropping on N2O.
I came accross these releases on a new label started by turntablist/musician RICCI RUCKER that have got me really curious... OH NO / KRS ONE - BOOGIE DOWN OX and OH NO / EXILE / RICCI RUCKER - OPERA EXTINCT (no it's not the exile guy releasing on planet mu). They're reworkings of BOOGIE DOWN BRONX & PLANET ROCK (or at least draw samples from them).
Lately I haven't been buying or downloading much because I'm inbetween jobs and I've only got dialup internet but I've been digging TAXI FARE on the BADDIS RIDDIM (and most of the rest of VP's STRICTLY THE BEST VOL ? comp) and a bunch of great mix cd's I picked up in Japan. Apart from that I've been going throught the 200- 300 cds & lps that I've just been re-united with after a year and a half.
What about you????
oshiette kudasai... saikin omoshiroi ongaku threads ga nai kara.
(teach/tell me please... because lately the threads in music have been boring me)
