Ma "NOI" ANDREMO AVANTI >> keep Djing!!!
I Technics SL-1200 sono una serie di giradischi fabbricati dall'ottobre del 1972 al 2010 da Matsushita sotto il marchio Technics. Originariamente lanciato come giradischi di alta fedeltà per il mercato audiofilo, venne ben presto adottato dai disc jockey di radio e discoteche. Già dalla sua uscita sul mercato, l'SL-1200 ed in seguito i suoi successori divennero "i" giradischi per eccellenza per il DJing e lo scratch. La successiva edizione, uscita nel 1978 e denominata MK2, introdusse notevoli novità, in particolar modo al motore ed all'imballo. Dal 1972 ad oggi ne sono state vendute più di tre milioni di unità; sono considerati tra i giradischi più duraturi ed affidabili mai prodotti: molti modelli prodotti negli anni settanta vengono utilizzati ancora oggi.
Comunicazione recente:
HANNO DECISO DI SOSPENDERNE LA PRODUZIONE!!!

DJ CAM ((is the dj))
DJ Cam (born Laurent Daumail in 1973) is a French DJ. His tunes are almost entirely a hybrid of both hip-hop and jazz music, and is presented in an abstract manner.[1] His first LP was Underground Vibes in 1994, and was revolutionary for its time, featuring familiar jazz samples and many vibe samples and heavy hip-hop influences.
His second studio album was Substances, which carried on with the tradition of its predecessor. He released The Beat Assassinated in 1998, which contained cameos from underground rappers, and also released The Loa Project vol, 2 and various DJ Mixes during 98-02. In 2003, he departed his regular sound for the Soulshine LP, which featured an appearance by Gang Starr's Guru (Credited as Baldhead Slick).
He went back to his hip-hop roots in 2004 with Liquid Hip-Hop, in 2006, he released an iTunes exclusive Best Of compilation, featuring a new song at the end.

∑∑∑∑ Crunch & Taste from Holland ≤≤≤≤ Kraak&Smaak
KRAAK & SMAAK
Heineken, Van Gogh, Kraak & Smaak. The three most famous things to come out of Holland. Ever.
In that order.
Ok so maybe a bit of an exaggeration but the last couple of years have been an incredible ride for the Dutch producer trio, and as djs and band.
After dropping a number of now heavily sought after 12”s from 2003 onwards, in 2006 they released their debut album Boogie Angst, which led to worldwide support from the funk and electronic community. Radio tastemakers like Annie Nightingale and Pete Tong in the UK and Jason Bentley in LA followed suit, which meant that there was a global demand for their sound and so their UK label Jalapeno quickly did deals with in the US, Benelux and Japan to make sure they worked with the best independent networks in the world.
In 2008 they released their second album Plastic People, which gave them the worldwide hit Squeeze Me, featuring one of their favourite UK vocalists, Ben Westbeech. Picked up by the international breakdance community, it sold 70,000+ downloads in the USA and earned them a live appearance on the Jimmy Kimmel Show, one of the most popular entertainment shows in the USA. Moreover, it was accompanied by the now famous flipbook video that was given mad props by Perez Hilton and Kanye West a.o.:
Perez Hilton on his site: “We’ve got a new anthem y’all!!!!!!!! Say hello to Kraak & Smaak, one of the hottest groups around! Hailing from The Netherlands their music could best be described as Amy Winehouse meets Moby”.
This music video with its flipbook theme, directed by Dutchman Andre Maat, has won numerous international awards and many self-made videos for the track can be found on YouTube. Squeeze Me has since been also released in Italy (Time records, 2009) and Germany (Kontor records, 2010).

ˆˆ THAT VOICE!awesome! LYRICS BORN
LIRYCS BORN
Lyrics Born (born Tsutomu "Tom" Shimura in 1972), is a Japanese American rapper. He is one half of the group Latyrx with Lateef the Truthspeaker.
Through his childhood, Shimura lived in Tokyo, Japan, Salt Lake City, Utah[2], and Berkeley, California[3]. He is the son of Japanese author, Takao Shimura, and an Italian/Jewish-American union organizer, Charlotte Arzio-Shimura. Shimura's parents were divorced by age 2, at which point he moved with his mother from Tokyo to Salt Lake City, Utah, and then finally to Berkeley California.
In 1993, Lyrics Born released his first single "Send Them", under the moniker "Asia Born", on the independent record label Solesides. In 1996 he formed the group "Latyrx", with Solesides label mate and fellow Bay-Area native, Lateef The Truthspeaker. Latyrx is a combination of the names, "Lateef" and "Lyrics". In 1997 Latyrx released the seminal album, "Latyrx-The Album". The album was well-received and is often regarded as a classic within underground circles. 1 year later Solesides was disbanded and reformed as the current Quannum Projects label. In 1999, to commemorate the transformation of Solesides to Quannum, the label released "Quannum Spectrum", a label compilation executive-produced by Lyrics Born. The album spawned the international hit single and video, "I Changed My Mind". This would also signify Lyrics Born's first collaboration with German Funk group, The Poets of Rhythm, whom he would later executive produce for the Quannum label.
Lyrics Born released his first solo LP on Quannum Projects, Later That Day, in October 2003, which spawned the hit single, "Callin' Out".
The album features guests such as Cut Chemist of Jurassic 5, Gift of Gab, Lateef the Truthspeaker and Born's wife Joyo Velarde.
In April 2005, he released a remix album, Same !@#$ Different Day which was again released on his own Quannum Projects label.
The album features remixes of five songs from Later That Day along with a number of new tracks which feature guests such as Bay Area legend E-40, hip-hop icon KRS-One, Stereo MCs, Casual of Hieroglyphics, Evidence of Dilated Peoples, DJ Shadow and Joyo Velarde.
Also in 2005, Born released The Lyrics Born Variety Show: Season One CD, which was essentially an old-school mix tape vibe with remixes and blends of his studio albums as well as guest appearances on other artist's songs in addition to exclusive tracks.

ŒŒ KILL THE VULTURES: DIRTY-ELECTRONIC>> HIP-HOP feat. JAZZ
KILL THE VULTURES
vocalist Crescent Moon and producer Anatomy moved from Minneapolis, MN to NYC in Sept.,2001 at the age of 19 with the now disbanded hip-hop group, Oddjobs.
They spent the next few years learning the ropes by touring with groups like De La Soul, DJ Shadow, Talib Kweli, Atmosphere, Lyrics Born, Buck 65, Brother Ali, and Zion I, as well as headlining several tours. They also released records and toured as part of the Third Earth hip-hop crew, whose ther members were Jean Grae, Mr. Len of Company Flow, Masterminds, Jugganknots, and Sub-Conscious. Other than touring with the aforementioned groups, they performed spot dates around the country with Snoop Dogg, Hieroglyphics, members of Digital Underground, and others.
Between Oddjobs tours, Crescent Moon served as the hype man for the Rhymesayers hip-hop group Atmosphere from 2001-2005. Following the breakup of Oddjobs In 2005, Crescent Moon and Anatomy moved back to Minneapolis to form Kill the Vultures along with their former Oddjobs cohorts Nomi and Advizer. Their eponymous debut album blended gritty, jazz, industrial and tribal beats with beat poet/rap vocals to create an overall urban-noir sensibility. The album garnered praise from critics (including a Salon.com reviewer who wrote, "the best hip-hop album I've heard this year") and helped them earn a large following in Europe where they have subsequently headlined four successful tours and played shows with Wu Tang Clan, Queens of the Stone age, The Roots, Frank Black and others. One of the songs from the album is also featured in the upcoming Sony Pictures film entitled Red Sands.
Their second album continued where the first left off, but with the pared down line-up of Crescent Moon and Anatomy (Advizer and Nomi are still part of the KTV family, although they currently live out of state). Crescent Moon and Anatomy continue their work with the album Ecce Beast (Ecce is the Latin word for behold, and refers to the biblical phrase “Ecce homo,” meaning behold man). The songs are nocturnal, urban soundscapes with an eye towards the industrial rust-belt cities of the upper mid-west. Crescent Moon’s vocals are predominantly crime narratives, spliced with social commentary. He drops surreal imagery and gritty truths in the same breath. Anatomy’s beats utilize a hard-boiled sample pallet,
consisting of drums, upright bass, strings, and horns, filled out with live instrumentation.

XXX FAT FREDDY'S DROP ! Big Tunes ∆∆∆∆
FAT FREDDY'S DROP
Fat Freddy’s Drop is a seven-piece band from Wellington, New Zealand, whose musical style has been characterised as any combination of dub, reggae, soul, jazz, rhythm and blues, and techno. Originally a jam band formed in the late 1990s by musicians from other bands in Wellington, Fat Freddy’s Drop gradually became its members' sole focus. Band members continued playing with their other respective groups—The Black Seeds, TrinityRoots, Bongmaster, and others—for much of their 11-year career. Fat Freddy’s Drop are known for their improvised live performances; songs on their studio albums are versions refined over years of playing them live in New Zealand, and on tour abroad.
The group gained international recognition in 2003 after their single "Midnight Marauders" was re-distributed by record labels and DJs in Germany.
The group has toured Europe nearly every year since then.
The first studio album by Fat Freddy’s Drop, Based on a True Story, was the first independently-distributed album to reach first place in New Zealand record sales directly after release in 2005, and is the highest-selling album by a national artist in the country's history. Based on a True Story won Best Album at the New Zealand Music Awards the same year, and remained on the top 40 New Zealand sales chart for over two years, establishing them as one of the most successful contemporary bands in the island nation.

‹‹‹ A regal Beat!!!!
Dj REGAL
Starting his DJing in 1986 Regal began playing in clubs in 1990, including the Mud Club in London and various wharehouse parties.
He started producing Hip Hop with partner DJ Touche in 1989 and began The Wiseguys officially in 1994, with their first release - "The Real Vibes" – for Blackmarket records. Signed to Wall of Sound later that year, over the next couple of years they released 3 more singles and the acclaimed debut LP "Executive Suite" in 1996.
After touring Australia in early 1997, Regal left The Wiseguys to form 'Bronx Dogs' with London DJ partner, Richard Sen. Between 1996 & '98, Paul & Richard ran 2 monthly nights in London, "The Fun Gallery" at The Clinic in Soho and "Disgracelands" in North London, mixing up Hip Hop, Funk, Disco, House and Drum'n'Bass to a pretty riotous crowd. During this time they began their collaborations in the studio, deciding on something new.
Bronx Dogs released The classic B-Boy anthem, "Tribute To Jazzy Jay" in Dec'97 and went on to release 2 more club classics - "212(The Weya Funk)" / "Mixed Blood (Mambo roc')". They also released 2 albums, "Three Legged Funk" in 2000 (Heavenly Records) and "Enviro" 2001 (Marble Bar Records).

** one MaN, one Poet..the Music ]]]>
Gil Scott-Heron (born April 1, 1949) is an American poet, musician, and author known primarily for his late 1970s and early 1980s work as a spoken word performer and his collaborative soul works with musician Brian Jackson. His collaborative efforts with Jackson featured a musical fusion of jazz, blues and soul music, as well as lyrical content concerning social and political issues of the time, delivered in both rapping and melismatic vocal styles by Scott-Heron. The music of these albums, most notably Pieces of a Man and Winter in America in the early 1970s, influenced and helped engender later African-American music genres such as hip hop and neo soul. Scott-Heron's recording work is often associated with black militant activism and has received much critical acclaim for one of his most well-known compositions "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised". On his influence, Allmusic wrote "Scott-Heron's unique proto-rap style influenced a generation of hip-hop artists".
