We'll have prizing in the form of these dope Parra stickers, some 7" as well as more James Pants mixed CDs.
And you know it's a 92BPM thing. Bangers all night long.
Tell a friend, bring another.
Say wrd.
H!
Like it says.
92BPM meets Stones Throw.
On the plate, will be a celebration of the James Pants release, WELCOME. A new record from the West Coast native James Pants, dropping on famed West Coast mini powerhouse Stones Throw.
How would I describe Welcome?? Let me borrow a quote from XLR8:
"Future shock era, Herbie Hancock, LA electro New Age-y French disco."
Add a little je ne sais quoi, and you have James Pants' Welcome. Nonetheless, come out and judge it for yourself. Deets are as follows:

Hosted/music by your most high exalted. The MP will be on blast, aka Mezzo Forte.
Look for the Welcome album to get some play all night, as well as a good dose of the Stones Throw catalog.
Will be a blast, so in the mean time, hold this Ka$h. Free James Pants MP3 from Stones throw.
You see you on May 22nd. And yes, it's FREE.
H!
Experimenting.
That's all I'm trying to do. So, some know that I've been talking about getting an epoxy kitchen countertop - where I'll start to spend some time cooking... Holy triple entendre.
So, looking for some little toys here and there, my man Delphi oracle got hooks, Hizzy gets a look.
The Roland SP-555 is what I ended up putting my hands on. I certainly wanted a sampler to run some extra boom to my sets, but I also knew that I use it to screw around some more, beyond just triggering some sounds.
Wrd is that Madlib is a big fan of the SP series with the 303 aka Dr Sample being the weapon of choice and apparently also using the SP-606. The 555 is seemingly of the same family. Pads, sampling, effects... All I need.
So on a friday aft, I get the call from Delphi. Head to the west my man, the west..... So I jumped on the hwy and made my way down to Mississauga. One of the few and rare times. But for this? hell yea...
Got my box, and made my way back home. The proverbial unboxing took place:
Fresh from the warehouse...
Anyhow I'm off to buy a CF card to store some sounds. Can't wait. Next 92BPM might be pretty fresh. And speaking of 92 BPM, this 1st one was what i expected: attended by true fans of the riddims. Looks like I had gems and still did not even begging to get into what's out there. But I do have some surprises in store.
Shouts to my man Sylvr Mayne, Nick H, Oli etc... I could go on. Anyhow, come out for the next one for some of that Baptism by Beats from your man, El Salvador!
Holla!

"I usually to rock around 92 bpms" - Jay Dee
In my endless pursuit of grooves (shouts for Pursuit Grooves), I decided to throw something real quick and painless. Even though I had to kill the original night, (Thursday March 6th Two Thousand And Eight), you can still come and check for me:
92 BPMs. That's a nice tempo. Although, I have been enamored with riddims from the 85+ range (with a special exceptional shout to my man Samiyam for that 70 some bpm Crank Dat rmx). But seriously, there's so much good music out there that I can hold it back only so long. My man Jay has offered some priceless tutelage and it's again time to show my wares. On site will be the MP, much as I did that night @ Rockit but it almost sounds like ppl really took notice when I opened w/ Taktiks @ Stone Throw's MOVE 2 weeks ago. Say wrd.
Anyhow, the goal is to play good music, and have a good time. If you're down, you'll come check me, no??
Anyhow, here are the event deets:

H!
Say f*cking wrd.
So, the last few weeks have been nothing but goodness. 1st came Hella International 2008 in Miami. What a blast.
Came back, and did the Junos w/ RedBull for the Academy Session, and that was fun. I have another one tomorrow, but I come back in time for a prestigious gig:
MOVE
We got MadLib the Bad Kid in the house to hit us w/ that sh*t. Man... This will be bananas. Egon is back again (with his long trench no doubt), and for the 1st time ever, Jamie Strong - purveyor of fine vibes from the prestigious Do Over in LA.
Special Guests??
Taktiks of 88.1's Mixtape Massacre/Hero fame and ya boy, My Man Henri, bringing you some of that 92 BPMs shit. Yea. Looking fwd to the gig despite the fact that I will be banging it out in the weak hrs of the night, likely opening. 9pm. I'm cool with that for sure. Hell... I'm playing w/ Stones Throw man!
So if you wanna hear some of those bangers I've been holding like Rugers, come thru early and play the bar whilst a blow your wig back. LOL.
Anyhow the deets:
