Futuristic hip-hop I'm appreciating at the moment: *Viktor Vaughn - Vaudeville Villain OK, I have just discovered that this is in fact -MF Doom! No wonder I like it so much. Muffled 303 and 808s, unashamed synthiness and a love of eschewing the obvious, make this something I'd recommend to this list. One small patch of dubious lyrical content but mostly it's sound. You might also want to check out Madlib and MF Doom's Madvillain project. LP is due in a few days: http://www.stonesthrow.com/madvillain/ I heard an EP of a collaboration of Doom Lib a few weeks ago - *on Bluenote* (but I'd totalled my record allowance so didn't buy). That was also very good. Sorry the name escapes me. Check here: http://www.bluenote.com/artistpage.asp?ArtistID=3718tab=1 *Mr Lif - I Phantom. This is now quite old (2002?) Emile recently turned me on to it. It's brilliant. A lot of the same qualities as MFD but a lot more aware lyrically and I think more club-friendly too. *Boom Bip - Seed To Sun - again I'm late on this. Mostly good. But some noodly and indie-sounding moments which is not for me. Mostly very painterly with shades of dementia. And I do regard it as hip-hop. Mostly! *Masterminds - Subliminal EP. With Mr Lif 'No Test Redux'. Again I'm so late with this (it's from 2001) - but then again, I think many copies have been loitering in vaults for the last three years as the shop said they'd never seen them till now. - 'Subliminal' is filtered rock-riff hip-hop before OutKast and it's highly, highly recommended. 'No Test Redux' is a avant-downbeat loop to lose track of time to. Sweetly put together. k

thanks ken for the info, i'll keep my eyes out for those releases. two things i've heard recently [both 313 related] are the lacksydaisycal album, which was nice, reminding a bit of common on one or two songs, and jaydee has a hand in it aswell. some very nice tunes, but not the best hiphop album ever. worth to check if you like sv, j-dilla, common. another one is the jimmy edgar 12 on warp, as it was mentioned on littledetroit. after reading the description on the site, i had high hopes, but to my ears only the third track came close to achieving some of the praise it had been given. should probably listen to it once more. also saw a jaydee produced phat kat release on house shoe records (?) from detroit on the rushhour mailout. if i'm not mistaken this is the last track that was on the 2000demf mix by dego that used to be up on groovetech. anyone know more about phat kat/house shoe? i've got a remix by dwele that also features phat kat, so i assume he's done loads of things allready, anything i should keep an eye out for? http://www.bling47.com for more detroit hiphop. jurren _ MSN Search, for accurate results! http://search.msn.nl
RE: (313) what's your favorite track/album right now?/HIP HOP
is my ban from 313 gone yet? My current fave is a rediscovered oldie out of the RZA´s magic hat, Shyheims Young Godz. Crazy beat, crazy mc´s, classic stuff!! I usually can tell most off the stuff that´s going on in a beat but this one remains a mystery... also on rotation is Missy´s Wake up from the last album which is incredible. Picture Eric B and Rakim´s Microphone fiend brake in outer space. Neptunes did it again, they may not be very original but they are d**m good. Another slammer for me is track by Elephant man with the T.O.K posse, pure blade runner dance hall Elephanti has been occupiing my decks a lot lately anyway, next to Baby Cham and the lot from Greensleeves ruff´n´ready!!! -Original Message- From: jurren baars [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: woensdag 10 maart 2004 14:50 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; 313@hyperreal.org Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: (313) what's your favorite track/album right now?/HIP HOP thanks ken for the info, i'll keep my eyes out for those releases. two things i've heard recently [both 313 related] are the lacksydaisycal album, which was nice, reminding a bit of common on one or two songs, and jaydee has a hand in it aswell. some very nice tunes, but not the best hiphop album ever. worth to check if you like sv, j-dilla, common. another one is the jimmy edgar 12 on warp, as it was mentioned on littledetroit. after reading the description on the site, i had high hopes, but to my ears only the third track came close to achieving some of the praise it had been given. should probably listen to it once more. also saw a jaydee produced phat kat release on house shoe records (?) from detroit on the rushhour mailout. if i'm not mistaken this is the last track that was on the 2000demf mix by dego that used to be up on groovetech. anyone know more about phat kat/house shoe? i've got a remix by dwele that also features phat kat, so i assume he's done loads of things allready, anything i should keep an eye out for? http://www.bling47.com for more detroit hiphop. jurren _ MSN Search, for accurate results! http://search.msn.nl The information contained in this e-mail communication is solely intended for the person/legal person to whom it has been sent, and as it may contain information of a personal or confidential nature, it may not be made public by virtue of law, regulations or agreement.

also on rotation is Missy´s Wake up from the last album which is incredible. Yeah, this is my favourite cut on the album for sure - Jay-Z manages to rhyme 'David Beckham' with 'rectum' which is always a bonus :)
RE: (313) what's your favorite track/album right now?/HIP HOP
on the phat kat front - check Phat Kat aka Ronnie Cash - Dedication To The Suckers on House Shoes - another Jay Dee prod, heavy! Also has a handy Detroit Road Map on the cover... Other synthy hip hop: Def Harmonic on Altered Vibes, some very technoey synth moments on their stuff - deeply pleasing, the track 'Doing The Best I Can' is great, though some of their other tracks are marred by weak MCing in places. Altered Vibes is part of the Goya stable as far as I know, but these people sound American, anyone know where they're from? Blockhead also deserve an honourable mention in this category. Anyone else heard the new Pete Rock import on Up Above? - b-side is lurvely. P.S. Before anyone asks, Pete Rock is Richie Hawtin's evil twin, Blockhead is the secret UK downtempo project of Eddie Fowlkes and Def Harmonic use old transmat CDs as beer coasters, so ner!

Altered Vibes is part of the Goya stable as far as I know, but these people sound American, anyone know where they're from? I think they're connected to the Wobblyhead label in Milwaukee. I saw them in chicago last year knowing nothing about them, and I was rather impressed to say the least :)

Re: (313) what's your favorite track/album right now?/HIP HOP
m. pritchard (sp?) has a nice 12 out as harmonic33 on some german label. That's Alphabet Zoo - there's actually a couple of 12s and a CD album from Harmonic33 so far... The Danny Breaks releases on Alphabet Zoo are also well worth checking - 'The Jellyfish' from his 'Another Dimension' release kicks off the 20.02.04 radio show at www.spatialsounds.com (under 'sounds') - nice stuff in the Dabrye/Prefuse 73 kinda mould... Here's some links: http://www.discogs.com/label/Alphabet_Zoo http://www.rekkid.co.uk/alphabetzoo/ http://www.gmediamusic.com/partnerships/harmonic33.html And Rob, yes it's Mark Pritchard of Reload/GlobComm etc fame - doing much better solo work than Tom Middleton these days IMHO :) Cheers, Tom
RE: (313) what's your favorite track/album right now?/HIP HOP
There was a Harmonic33 12 on Alphabet Zoo called 'Kaleidoscopic Sounds EP', the first release on the label in fact, and yes it is indeed Mark Pritchard of Global Comms/Jedi Knights etc fame. I'm reliably informed that he is a massive hip hop head. I believe that Alphabet Zoo is Danny Breaks' label (for all you old Junglists out there). Wonderful 12 if you ever come across it, deep late night hip hop instrumentals in a crisp Primo/Spinna/Pete Rock style (and that isn't an idle comparison). Erm, let me think, ah yes, Mark Pritchard has a picture of Mad Mike tattoed on his left buttock and Danny Breaks is Juan Atkins' Uncle.
