USB Record Player Study

Bildschirmfoto_2010-02-08_um_1

This is something great! A record player powered by your average USB-Port. Unfortunately it is just a study. Similar things are the Vinylkiller which will not treat your precious records to well or the Sound Burger which would still be my top-choice if I would own one. Anyways i would buy this and prefer it over my GP-3. via Gizmodo and Pyott Design

New RJD2 Album

Here we go with one of my favorite artists new album. RJD2 released "The Colossus". RJD2 always impressed me with his use of layered samples which is again fact with this one. The vinyl release comes on two 12inches in a four color sleeve. On the back of the cover you find some nice insides on the players, production history and which instruments he used on the tracks. If you know RJD2 make sure you check out the album and if not, just follow my links around to explore his idea of instrumental HipHop as well as his Rap-LP with Blueprint (Soul Position - 8 Million Stories), which to me stood out as the best Rap-LP in 2003 both production- and lyric-wise. As usual, i advise you to buy this record on vinyl and support the artist! Enjoy!

Finally I made it to my local recordstore to cop Marc Hype & Jim Dunloop's first full length LP. I was surprised to hear a lot of rap on there, but hey it's good stuff! You get Four Music's new signing Flomega from Bremen, one of my favourites Mr. Complex of early Rawkus fame and longtime mate Mr. Lif of Marc Hype from Boston. Others features are Malena Perez who is providing the lyrics for the first 12" - Rare Occasion. This is backed with a funk version of the electro classic Al Naafish (The Soul), with dope scratches and a catching baseline. We also get a cover of "The Mexican" by Babe Ruth which was released earlier this as a teaser 12". The last song features Lady Daisey on the Vocals, dope funky beat with deep vocals. All in all I advise you to go and buy this album and support original funky music. also do buy this at your local record dealer, there's only a few left and "... you don't know what you got til it's gone!".
