yeah, and every other redbull lecture too lol
Yo! So as far as fans...From what I've seen and heard..in Europe (Switzerland, England, Scotland, Ireland, France, Spain, Poland, Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, Norway etc) and North America ...and the massive support in Japan, people in every form love this.
Earz, ex Neckle Camp, who was a top Grime MC expressed a big interest in labbin with Rashad asap. Workin on it. Kronik was into it on Just Jam - he was introducin himself to Rashad and Spinn. Would be dope to see Double or somebody vocal somethin for the UK market.
In New York, where we've been doing monthly parties for nearly a year, we got fans of house, techno, dubstep, grime...the large part of the younger downtown and bk art community, local dancers, ravers, hip hop fans, students, fashion neeks lool...everyone maan. It's like that all over. London, Amsterdam, Berlin...there's been a lot of parties that are off the wall.
Mike P came down for a party Manny Rashad and I were mixing at and when he heard all the tracks, we saw his face lighting up a fair bit. This was NY a few months back. We'll get more Rashad mixes of new shit for y'all to peep soon care of Red Bull. Manny and Spinn too for that matter. They got heat.
Traxman is pretty damn amazing. There were a few we left off the Lit City record to get the heat out for y'all. Basically, Traxman's Lit City album is a masterpiece in the works stiill. Same for Rashad and the vol. 2 comin after.
I'm curious, while I'm answering your questions...answer me this...Does anyone think there's a difference in the sounds between crews and all that? Say Flight Muzik or BOTC? DO YOU GUYS PREFER ANY ONE OVERALL?
It can look how it looked but there were a lot of great producers in there. Nguzunguzu, Brenmar...who else? Think Canblaster and Ghost On Tape....either way...the point of the lecture was to inform and not for people to laugh on the internet at who was in the crowd. Who caaares mane.
Reverb is coming out with us. Ghettophiles have it on there soundcloud for some reason. That's never been a Gphiles track ever.....oh well. Thirsty.
This remix is as good as the track. Traxman juked it out. It's less of a battle track, more of a party remix..the track lent itself to either but he wanted to make something classic to complement the eccentricities of his album.
He's on twitter too @TRAXMAN_TEKKDJZ
.....we're in the studio now labbin for the next few days. We're on a nice old analog mixing desk with some krk vxt6 speakers lods as helllll. Some racks, a mic and some keyboads...Rashad , Spinn, Manny...soundin loud as hell in here. Doin some next shit now. Stay locked for some mixes this week I hope.
As far as whoever mentioned the mixing thing..these guys are as much DJs as they are producers, so the way it is mixed is of the utmost importance. Long blends, blending trax that mix well, lining up the claps/keepin the count bla bla just listen to the mixes.
Also...none of y'all would complain if we gave you 20 tracks for the price of 10 right? They have 1000s of trax each so really, 20 tracks per album is a handful. We want to give you your moneys worth and the incentive to buy it for what its worth.
Lol thanks for waiting for the heat. It's comin
also, gonna try and film some shit for dont watch that tv LCTV channel asap at the next few parties this week
Yeah I recognized Brenmar in that video, still a lot of bearded hipsterish folk though 
Not that it affected the lecture or anything
One producer who isn't from Teklife but is still brilliant is Umbertron, ravey no holds barred shit
edit: Twisup looks menacing ffffff why cant I get parties like that
Not that it affected the lecture or anythingHard to say since like 90% of what I listen to is from TEKLIFE and as far as preference goes that should explain it. Flight Muzik was a great album, it definitely sounded very different, I want to say more polished and accessible, less experimental. I wouldn't say better or worse, just different you know, which is good when you have different movements producing equally dope shit. Teklife crew is definitely on the cutting edge when it comes to experimentation though, and there's a kind of minimalism to them that most producers can't pull off. I mean Reverb is as stripped down as it gets really, and it's brilliant for that. The thing about teklife experimentation is that these guys (like Rashad, Clent, Spinn) have been doing it for so long even when they pull off some crazy shit it's still battle music, you can dance to that shit, not all footwork producers sound like they're making stuff for the circle. Also I think they do a lot more vocal samples as well (from ghetto to Minnie Riperton). I hadn't heard BOTC before, listening to the Soundcloud now, really not sure about these guys.

I may be wrong but from the early juke/footwork videos I watched, they reminded me of grime videos in pirate stations. So kinda like the youth who aint got nothing else to do are into it
Just wanted to know if that was the case anywhere else in the world?

This show is well worth a listen. Kode 9 plays juke/juke grime remixes and jungle for the last half an hour (lots of good funky during the show too)

where were they when all the syncopated, Roy-Ayers sampling '96 artcore Reinforced Nebula II 160bpm b-sides were coming out. were they born yet?
its good to see the style come back anyways, cant be arsed to dig out those records, but a few TRAXMAN mixes a day hit the spot
That's Manny and myself, J-Cush 'MAKE ME FEEL' which'll probably be on Manny's album on Lit City.

3rd World was made back in 1998. It's a fine example of how long the style has existed. Clent started Beatdown with Rashad, Spinn, Magik Myke....and maybe DJ Spyda (not 100%, but he's not around anymore anyway)..That was arguably the first production clique that was making straight footwork. Everyone was making trax on their own before hand, Arpebu, Traxman et all included
