From The States To Overseas Volume 1

#6

so_far

words by M. L. N. Rook

“This week's 'Off The Shelf' installment was actually requested through Twitter. You may know the song "So Far" in the instrumental version that is included on City Lights Vol. 1.5, or in the remix version that is included on The Dutch Masters Vol. 1, but the original vocal version is a little less known. The song, performed by Ilwil (Donwill and Ilyas) featuring Jameze, was recorded around 2002, during what you could call our Okayplayer days. I'm sure that we posted it up on The Lesson, and Ilwil included the original version on their 'Beat Thieves Vol. 1 Mixtape', that is no longer in print”.

 

Ilwil – So Far feat. Jameze

Fine Dyning

Your home is your sanctuary. Whether you work in a studio, a bank, a store, the city or Mcdonalds, the one place where you are always thankful to be after a hard days work... Is Home. Most of my memorable moments in life -good or bad- took place when I was at home.. The Apartment is an album that takes this very theme & takes a deep breathe. With varied subject matter that covers the good and the bad, Dynas has kept family at its core. Real issues are covered throughout from shady relationships to the possible tribulations of childhood & many more in between, which, although may be nothing new, the delivery and execution is second to none. Dynas' ear for beats is superb. Jazzy Jeff, DJ Spinna, and the late J Dilla all lend the considerable talents and this is some of the best work I've heard from all of them for a long time. But as good as they are, none of their work overshadows the charisma and flexibility Dynas' carries from start to finish. One of my new favourite tracks of the year so far, Family Jewels, is a perfect case in point. Buoyed by an on form 'Uncle' Slick Rick and some old school infectiousness, Dy ups his tempo to make the perfect counter for Ricks laid back flow. As is Totally Tanya, that sees a superb opening verse of Ragga tinged niceness. It seems to me that this dude has it all. Thanks to his ear for beats i'd put him in the Ghostface catagory of nice. I'd be willing to wager that Dynas' catalogue is gonna grow into something just as consistent as Toney's. Any 'True Head' would be undermining his status if he/she doesn't add this to the collection. Easily one of the years best.

My man Small Pro has been a busy man. Between winning remix contests & finalising his 1st Label backed project (Gigantic Volume 1), these isn’t much left of his time. I’ve said it before & i’ll say it again, this guy is one ridiculously talented beatsmith, I highly recommend anything with his name on it. Peep the above for a starting point. And be on the loo out for the album. Enjoy!

Small Professor – Ressurected The Remix

Everybody’s Relaxation

cover

Digital is the way of the walk these days. Everything that the gods of the 1210’s were doing back in the day is being done these days with a decent MAC & some software to go with it.. Hence the logical progression to releasing vinytl tracklistings in a digital format, accapellas & all. Kevin Nottingham, CEO of HIPNOTT Records is going that route. Simple really & the track is nice too. Support, Support!
