Hampus Hyppe, Hyppe (Purple) [Self-released, 2019]

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

[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

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
