I made the first Drum EP in 2007. At that time I wasn't sure if I was going to continue making beats at all. I had only released one song, and despite how well "Lost and Found" had done, I just wasn't sure if this was the path I was going on. A good friend of mine, Medium Zach from Big Quarters suggested I challenge myself to make one beat every day for a week. I took him up on his challenge and did just that. 7 lo fi hip hop beats.
In 2010 I found myself in a similar funk, only this time I was traveling quite a bit. I decided that I wanted to challenge myself again. This time, I couldn't really do 7 songs in 7 days, and I wanted to improve in quality from the songs on the first Drum EP, but stay true to the nature of beat-making challenges. So, this EP is all songs I made while on a plane.

DAMN RIGHT! :::The City::: by DamnRight!



Genre: Club / Electro

PhotobucketRecord Label Unsigned
BLAKE MOBLEY-->KEYSTOMMY BRADEL-->BEATS JOHNNY FISSINGER-->BASS

Bio:

.. Formed onstage in a Baltimore nightclub, Damn Right! has since cut it's teeth grinding up and down the east coast. Electronic breaks, vocal samples and pop synths define their sound and drives every show to be a dance party- from NYC warehouses to beaches in the Virgin Islands.
Since their start in 2007, the band has hosted multiple residences at the legendary 8x10 in Baltimore and has had the pleasure of playing with acts such as 20/20 Soundsystem, The Egg, The New Deal, Lotus, Rusko, Brothers Past, Orchard Lounge, Pnuma Trio, Perpetual Groove & EOTO. 2010 has also brought the launch of their brand new clothing line, East Coast Swagger, which can be seen out at live shows. With their first official studio release on the horizon, be looking for some big things in 2011 as these three wolves howling at the moon are just getting started...

LETHERETTE CASSETTE

LETHERETTE (W'TON, ENGLAND)
GUEST MIX FOR ANDREW MEZA'S BTS RADIO
LETHERETTE CASSETTE
One year ago, Letherette helped issue in the new phase of BTS with what became one of the site's most talked about and downloaded guest mixes of 2010. At the time, we called the Wolverhampton duo (Andy Harber & Richard Roberts) the UK's best kept secret. Since thier original BTS guest mix, the word is out and they've set the internet ablaze.

One of the most refreshing acts of recent years, Letherette's blend of hip-hop, house and '80s funk & soul have garnered them a devot cult following. Last year's Brownswood Recordings' 
Brownswood Electr*c feature, remixes for Solar Bears and Fur, rounded out by their first official EP release, was just a preview of what's to come. There's so much more.

Their music demands attention, dancefloors and will no doubt be a dominating force in 2011. Here's to the new year.

Letherette perform live at 
The Old Blue Last in East London, January 29th. Part of the monthly Streets Of Beige night, this event is free and also includes live sets from Young Montana? and Blank & Kytt. Not to be missed.

There are numerous things that should be done when you visit Asheville, North Carolina. It's a U.S. city worth a special trip and it's a city that defies your expectations, even after you've been there a few times. It's quaint and it's near-perfect in all kinds of ways. The airport is one of the tiniest and coolest points on any flight itinerary and from there, you can make your way into the city, by way of a blacktop highway that rounds through the mounds that are essentially the Blue Ridge Mountains. It gets breathtaking awfully quickly. Spend some days there and you must do a combination of the following things: you should get over to Malaprops bookstore for an early morning coffee and some reading material, one of the finest independent book dealers in the country. You should then walk right around the corner to Tupelo Honey and hope that you don't have to fight the line to get a seat for a stack of their sinful sweet potato pancakes - and it's okay to order those at any hour of the day, as far as I'm concerned. Next, you should walk around the beautiful, slightly hilly downtown because you're going to want to work off those pancakes so you can head over to 12 Bones for BBQ. The restaurant keeps very picky hours and does no favors other than providing some of the most original barbeque tastes imaginable. From there (and remember to keep looking around for the city's not stopped being good looking) you can try to get a tour of the Moog factory, down on the river and a Friday night at Highland Brewing is well spent. And, importantly, make time for Harvest Records for some vinyl shopping. RJD2, or Ramble John Krohn, the brilliant electronic artist originally from Oregon and currently calling Philadelphia, Pennsylvania home, came straight from the airport to Echo Mountain studio for this session, Halloween weekend, this past fall. He took in the sights, just as described, and he had but one thing on his mind at the completion of this mashed up single track, other than getting to the club for soundcheck, of course. He, like any sane person, wanted to know where the best places to go vinyl shopping were in town. Harvest was the first place out of everyone's lips and he felt that he needed to be specific. He wanted the dusty stuff. He wanted to crate dig. He wanted to get down on the floor and look through the hidden LPs under the shelves, in the off-limits basements. He wanted to flip through the albums that everyone else ignored. It should come as no surprise that this would be the material that Krohn/RJ would want to scavenge through for those pieces of inspiration that he likes to craft into his quirky and innovative compositions. RJD2 music is synonymous with the snippet -- the unfamiliar snippet, something from a sex education album for children or a record of field recordings or of Jack Nicholas teaching the art of a golf swing. The odder, the better, though there needs to be enough meat there that Krohn can work with it, to make it into some kind of statement that is profound and not merely novel. His focus seems to always be to melt the strangest worlds together and expose us to something new, something that we'll never, ever fully understand or piece together its parts. It is just the sum of it all - of the dusty scraps and ribbons, of that dusty wax - his sum.

Shlohmo - Beat CD 09

This is a short collection of beats Shlohmo made near the end of 2009 before he added the second H to his name. He just self-released 20 handmade CD-Rs that I'm sure sold out immediately, but thank god he put this shit on bandcamp. I'm really feelin the track with the Half Baked sample and the one with the Charles Manson interview haha. Snap your neck type shit right heeeere.
