Real Deal Comix x Stussy

Stussy - Real Deal from Stussy on Vimeo.

I think it's cool that Stussy has been focusing on illustrators so heavily these last few years i.e Mike Judge, John.K and Lawrence Hubbard.

Personally, I feel that illustration is the highest form of art. To make an iconic character is just a lot more difficult than to slop some mess on a canvas. 

Anyways, check this project out.

THEWORLDSBESTEVER brings to life one of the best ideas I've seen in a long time i.e get Espo to do beer cozies.

This is a no brainer purchase.

Though it is cheating that they have had Spike Jonze since the beginning, but go ask your Mom or your Mom's live in boyfriend "Steve" if they think life should be fair.

SOUNDBOY ADVICE VOL.2

Well well well, looky what I have for all you dancehall ingrates.

I was sitting at home watching it start to rain (it's July btw) and I decided I wasn't having it. When I compiled Soundboy Advice Vol.1 I had actually picked 60 tracks originally and then whittled it down. Most of these tunes are leftovers, but they are still mad mad tunes.

To continue the tradition I made another Bad Man Skip intro track. There is no real "mixing" going down, but I do compile the play list with tempo in mind.

Like the last mix things start off with rub a dub tunes and progressively get more digital. And just like last time the cover art is my likkle personal tribute to the art of Wilfred Limonious.



Nuff talk.

Run it, pussyhole!

Feel free to re-post and spread the 80's wickedness.

TheWorldsBestEver x SDTW Present: Sound Boy Advice

Two weeks ago the dudes from TheWorldsBestEver asked if I would make a mix of songs (not mixed, but more of a play list) comprised of any music I wanted.

I took the opportunity to go through my hard drive and my other laptop to compile songs from my favorite genre of the last few years which is digital 80's dancehall. I narrowed the list to 47 scorchers. That was way too long so I shaved that down into 18 tunes plus an intro that I chopped together in Garage Band cause I'm well hard on Garage Band tings. You know dis fam. Dont believe me rudeboy? Ask mi bredren THIS

Dancehall STILL manages to go unaffected in the States (at least) by viral culture and the internet. The only crossover we've had in the last 5 years was "Welcome To Jamrock" and an occasional Sean Paul tune. That is it. IN the UK that may not be the case. Here in the U.S though I can go nearly anywhere I want and I know there will be no dancehall being played. There will not be some kid running around with a Mavado shirt on. Why? I guess because of the "patois" barrier. Or maybe it is due to the fact that dancehall has never really broken through for more than a few weeks on the charts. It is the eternal musical genre underdog. There will be no Supercat x The Hundreds tee shirt and thank God for that. While Bad Brains, Joy Division, Maiden, NWA, Slayer, Public Enemy, and the like become just brands for other brands to leech off there sitting in the corner will be dancehall. Your favorite band's logo is already being raped into some bullshit tee shirt that will be sold to some asshole who wants you to know what is on his fucking iPod. Yup. That is the long and short of it.

To me dancehall is pure and self generating. It does not conform to any fads other than its own. The fads that do come out of dancehall culture are purely ridiculous i.e daggering, silly dance troops, fashion dont's, pop culture references, and everything else.

The 1980's saw the rise of a new form of reggae and what we now refer to now as dancehall. As roots reggae started to get heavier both in dub form and what was coming out of the studios from session bands like The Roots Radics the music at some point became entirely digital. Most people point to Jammy's "Sleng Teng" riddim as the turning point, but a lot of people were already using digital production by that time. Sleng Teng more or less was the the nail in the coffin.

This period is where I plucked all of these tunes. It starts with some more rub-a-dub type stuff, but as soon as you get to "Hog In A Minty" it is pure digital digital roughness. It slows back down at the end, but that is after the music "bruks" your nanny's pussyhole.

Apologies for the slackness.

The cover I designed is a tribute to my personal favorite illustrator Wilfred Limonious. As far as I can gather Limonoius has no known website, contact, or representation. His illustrations captured the era better than any photograph could have. The dude is like Nagel of dancehall.

Anyways, I'm done nerding out. Just go to the link below and download the bloodclot thing unless you're retarded. I will post up a tracked out version soon, but for now fuck with the whole thing mixed into one long chune.
