going to a sick partay

yes y’all

I know alot of you might not appreciate the dopeness that is ed banger records. I have been getting into their stuff since I heard DJ Mehdi’s “Lucky Boy” album, which is a really funky record. Somehow I heard about “Loukoums,” his homage to Dilla’s Donuts, downloaded it as a podcast, and its been on heavy rotation since.

Peep it if you ever get a chance…

Then I heard about Justice. Then Feadz & Uffie. Then DJ Funk. Then SebastiAn. Then BusyP. Etc… Basically, these guys are doing their own thing and loads of people are following. Its crazy that Pase Rock is all up in this movement too. I guess he just does whatever the fuck he wants and does it well. Never saw him perform with 5 Deez, so this will be my first time seeing him live.

oh, and I stumbled upon this gem last night. Man, they were so fucking dope. And to think, 3 feet high came out in 1988…

Lover’s Rock

The Fat C is back with his second blog. blaaah, brrraap, braap!!! I want to continue with the theme of Reggae influenced sub genres.

This week its Lovers Rock, which is basically a romantic rhythm and blues influenced form of reggae. Lover’s rock was a product of the UK reggae scene in the mid to late 70’s. In the early 70’s most roots reggae was extremely focused on writing songs about social protest and Rastafari spirituality. Many UK artists at the time were looking for an alternative theme to political Reggae.

Jamaican music from Ska to Roots Reggae has always been influenced by American soul. Lovers Rock is simply an attempt to merge these two types of music even more. They take the smooth vocals of American soul and merge it with a reggae bassline and riddim. Lover’s rock never really became too popular in Jamaica itself, however it was adopted by many roots reggae artists (e.g. John Holt & Gregory Isaacs) as an alternate style in order to appeal to a wider audience.

One of the best Reggae complications heavily influenced by Lover’s Rock is: ‘Cactus Classics Vol -1 & 2’ It’s a must buy for anyone who is serious about there smooth reggae.

C.R.E.A.M.

funky foood

Story behind this is that fade, green and I all got insanely crunk one night last summer and decided that we wanted to write a concept song with a funky loop; we had been joking around earlier in the day, and somehow came up with this chorus. It kind of just recorded itself from there.

I’m hungry…

Indecision’s inaugural blog!

Hey there ASM people, my name’s Indecision and I’m here to introduce myself & what I do.

I seem to be down with this ASM lot & they seem to like my DJing, so I thought I’d get a bit of shameless promotion in whilst they still like me.

I started DJing cos I kinda liked the way you could get 2 different records to sound like an entirely new record, if you got them to play at the same speed. I thought that was pretty dope so I bought some turntables & some Drum n Bass bootleg records and set about learning to mix. 4 Years on – Hey, look at me now, DJing at some of the best nights in Oxford, definatly the best night in Leeds and even better, a whole world of acceptance from some Hip-Hop crew called ASM, and, the best bit – running my own club night, promoting the music I love – Funk.

The Dugout is a monthly club night @ the Cellar in Oxford, UK – We play all sorts of groovy funk, sickly soul & the rarest grooves. Since we started we’ve had all manner of amazing talent grace the 1s& 2s – Fingathing, Rob Life of legendary B-Boy night ‘Breakin Bread,’ Jon Kennedy of Grand Central records, A funk band from Brighton who are definatly destined for big things, ‘Mean Poppa Lean,’ Sir Beans OBE (Who makes exceptionally dope beats) and of course, your boy Green-T of ASM fame.

Check us out – www.myspace.com/thedugoutmusic

I like to make beats too, but none of you lot are anywhere near important enough to hear them yet…….Soon come!

I work in record shops, which is wack cos the pay is so rubbish, but it’s all good as I’m going to University in September in London & after that I’m gonna be a big wig @ some horrible, corporate, ‘We’d kill our own mothers to make a buck’ record company. And I’m a gonna get paid!!!!

I also rep a crew called ‘Blunted’ – An independant Oxford based record label, club night & webzine. – These guys have been f***ing amazing to me since I started out all those years ago – and I’m currently working on a few things for their Website – including a monthly Podcast/Radio show – the 1st of which will be available from next week @ www.bluntedpresents.co.uk

I also have a couple of mixes up on there if you wanna check – tis in the audio section.

Check this also – www.myspace.com/indecisionget2know

Well, thats me………I’m gonna post a few bits up here and there in the near future – Who wants a link to the radio show?

OK then, I’d better get on it.

2-Tone Bitches!!!!

What up people???
The Fat Controllah has been mad slacking off with his blog contributions, so here’s a few words on a specific music scene iv been really getting into at the moment. This movement took place in the UK in the late 1970’s and is called 2-Tone. The 2-Tone sound was started by a group of musicians who loved to listen to 60’s Jamaican ska but were also influenced by the punk scene. A whole genre of music was created almost over night producing some amazing bands on the 2-tone record label. The two most popular bands being ‘The Specials’ and ‘Madness’!!

 MADNESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2 – Tone gets its name by referring to the black and white outfits worn by all the ska loving rude bwoys and skinheads. It also refers to unity between black and white people at a time when racial tension in
Britain was high. Get down with it people….stop ya messin around!!!!
