Shuen

OUT TODAY, AUGUST 25, 2014.
Turntablist and producer, DJ Krush,
is one of the first Japanese artists to be embraced by the global
hip-hop world. Beginning by mixing elements of R & B and Acid Jazz
with the big breakbeat backbone of mid- tempo hip-hop. Gradually moving
more toward the abstract applying heavy effects and sample manipulation
to thick, smart breaks, layered, ambient textures and subtle, inventive
scratching. Heard here in duet with ikonoklast bassist/producer Bill
Laswell. Shuen shows both musicians seamlessly navigate through the ambient / world beat matrix...a brief journey into sound and rhythm.

OUT OCTOBER 7, 2014.
P-Funk legend Bernie Worrell, without a doubt, the
most influential and definitely the most emulated and copied electronic
keyboardist in modern music. His work totally defined the synthesizer
of 80s and 90s hip-hop and can still be clearly recognized in the pop
hits of today. Caught here in a classic sound / mush up...that moves
from delicate to simply raw, intense and bombastic free-form funkafied
filth reloaded. In collaboration with multi-directional percussion
virtuoso Adam Rudolph, Brooklyn's finest DJ / beat generator - Dr.
Israel, Bill Laswell and the original Bronx DJ - Grandmixer DXT (Zulu
Nation, Wild Style) best known for introducing scratching to the
mainstream on Herbie Hancock's mega hit "Rockit"... Thus spawning a
generation of innovative turntablists...The history continues.
