The Happy (Purple) EP may not be unique sound wise; the guitar, bass, saxophone and echoes have been heard before and they are not revolutionary in that sense (I’m thinking of labels like; City Centre Offices or Morr Music). Yet, that’s absolutely not true at all! Because all artistic ventures are by definition just that,… Continue reading Hampus Hyppe, Hyppe (Purple) [Self-released, 2019]

Even Tapes
And now it is over. I was forced to sell my double-deck? Then I found this sweet Sony CFD-S50 CD/Tape-deck in the trash? Perfect for the beach and I got a cassette by: Lootpack, that I’ve wanted to play for a long time. And how I can. The challenge is on. One-to-one. Playing? I’ll hold… Continue reading Even Tapes

Wild Sampling
I thought it would be easy assemble the 1991-1994 list… I was surely mistaken. So, I’m just going to do my best: Black Sheep Gangstarr Nice & Smooth Grand Puba Brand Nubian Group Home Mobb Deep E-40 Eric B. & Rakim Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth Showbiz & A.G.

I Want To B Digital
ODB? You need to understand, the genius of the Old Dirty Bastard. Kiss of a black widow off the Bobby Digital album. RZA tries really, really hard (lyrically/craziliy) to keep up with ODB… what happens next? [RZA] “- I’m not doing it right?” [ODB] “- Do I lock on beyond the break.” What to say?… Continue reading I Want To B Digital
Not That Many Days Left Of This Year?
No noise 2019? Not even the mighty Fabio & Grooverider are playing it? Oh, well, it is by far the best dumb’n’bass* this year and for some years and some years to come. Why? It is plain to see, why…? For one thing, if an album contains one instant classic then that is enough in… Continue reading Not That Many Days Left Of This Year?
You Would Have Thought Or Bringin’ It?
That the subject was depleted by now? Helas, I’m still wondering, thinking and trying to understand how this is this possible? How and by what means did Aphex produce this: Selected Ambient Works 85-92. – What do you mean? – Literally I do not understand how or by what means “Xtal + Tha” could ever… Continue reading You Would Have Thought Or Bringin’ It?
There’s Another Track
Possibly superseding the best track ever produced. What? It is a track that may supersede: Shadow Boxing! I’m not telling… not for a good year. I’ve heard it and that’s enough for me. I never, ever thought that would happen in my life-time. It did and I know what it is. Someone, please call the… Continue reading There’s Another Track
My 3rd Copy
I had two copies on vinyl previously, this one is the third and it is the CD version. I also found these (y’all need to stop throwing things…) in the trash. I remember one night I was jamming in a chili house on Seventh Avenue between 139th and 140th. It was December 1939. Now I’d… Continue reading My 3rd Copy
