REMIXED MIERCOLES: BIG BIRD

He may have been born, raised and is now living in Texas, but Bird Peterson is the master of all things Baltimore.

Baltimore Club is definitely the heaviest but other influences include nu-skool breaks, screwed down Texas Rap, massive bass lines, hand claps and synths galore.

Words from Bird…

“People have misconceived B-more–[they think] you can take anything on the planet, throw the ‘Sing Sing’ loop [a sample of Salsoul recording artist Gaz] under it, and make it stutter. But that’s not the case at all,” says Peterson. “There is a real art behind making a really good Baltimore club track.”

Here are 3 of his latest…

MOBB DEEP - SHOOKED (BIRD PETERSON REMIX)

PROJECT PAT - KEEP IT HOOD (BIRD PETERSON REMIX)

CREEDENCE CLEARWATER REVIVAL - FORTUNATE SON

(BIRD PETERSON’S STILL TIPPIN’ FOR THE USA MIX)

HIP HOP TWOSDAYS: O.D.B.

I don’t know if anyone else caught it, but last week on BET they were showing “Wu: The Story of the Wu-Tang Clan”.  Obviously, must see TV.  A great insight into the 36 chambers of madness.

Check out the trailer…

As promised, it’s the entire story from early struggles & hustles out on Shaolin to complete world domination in the span of just a few years.  In between, there’s a whole bunch of sword swinging, Wallabees, broccoli, and ice cream.

Ol’ Dirty Bastard is no doubt the star of the show and live footage of him is crazy good.  You’re reminded of just how ill he was over and over.  Things get real sad, however, when the film starts focusing more on Rusty Jones towards the end; covering his prison time, subsequent release, and eventual death.

Last Saturday (11/15) he would have been the big 4-0, so I thought we’d celebrate the man with some vintage Big Baby A-Son Unique.

HARD HAUNTED RECAP

I know, i know>> It’s been almost 2 weeks since Halloween so it’s widdack to post about HARD now, but it was so fun>> LA crowds are THE FUNNEST crowds to play for in the whole world>> Best taste, best energy>> I expected it to be crazy, and it was>>

Me and Ze spent a couple of weeks preparing our first ever music and video set, which we killed. We edited mostly Halloween and Horror themed quicktimes that we controlled with our Serato Vinyl.> I was geeked on how things worked out considering it was our first video set..

We created this super Hesh Electro remix of John Carpenter’s Halloween Theme… Peep it>> It’s hard as fuck, so if you are not into wearing all black and worshiping Satan, you may want to skip out>>\\

N.A.S.A. - MIKE’S REVENGE

After we played, AM came on and BROUGHT THE FUCKING HOUSE DOWN>> It was the first time i’d seen him since his plane crash, and i was so happy to see dude healthy and in one piece.> He went as Daft Punk for Halloween, a stroke of genius, and played all DP for the first half of his set.> i was stoked to hear him rock our N.A.S.A. Music Remix

N.A.S.A. - N.A.S.A. MUSIC (LA RIOTS REMIX)

.. His set was so crazy, and people were so stoked to see him healthy and rocking, that it ended up being the illest performance of HARD.>

Otherwise, things have been crazy.> I just finished the Final Final song (I promise) for the N.A.S.A. record featuring Kanye, Santogold, and Lykke Li! It’s my favorite song on the record!

A day after mixing the song, i went str8 to mastering it with Big Bass Brian, and now, finally, WE ARE 100% DONE WITH THE RECORD AFTER ALMOST 6 FUCKING YEARS!!! I’m really proud of this record and can’t wait to get it out to the world!

Right now, i’m in Costa Rica on a surfing safari, so i’m going to sign off to get some sleep>

Much love!!

Marcus Garvey prophesy say

Man a go find himself against de wall

It a go bitter

When the right time come

Some a go charge fe treason

The Mighty Diamonds formed in Trenchtown circa 1969.  Summer of love love.  They quickly gained acclaim & fame with their polished Motown sound, complete with soothing soulful harmonies.  This is the lead single off of their debut album of the same name and is most definitely an all time classic.

Fun Fact: Their song “Pass The Kouchie” was a small hit as their own but blew up like crazy when covered by Musical Youth to become everyone’s favorite “reggae” song, “Pass The Dutchie”.
