PARTY RECORD FRIDAYS: X-MAS

Friday, December 12th, 2008

Shit’s poppin’ off tonight over on the West Side, come on down and get your dirty egg nog on.

Here’s a remix of one of the best X-MAS jams ever created and a personal favorite of mine growing up to help get yer spirit right.

All I could think about for the longest while was what it would be like to actually find a wallet in the snow with “a million dollars in it, cold hundreds and G’s, enough to buy a boat, matching car with ease!”

Estaw takes the O.G., flips it on its side and douses it with a robust handle of crunk juice.  Perfect for any holiday party…

SAO PAULO DESTRUCTION

Wednesday, December 3rd, 2008

Wassup yall?!

It’s been a minute, but I’ve been crazy finishing the record, doing remixes, flying all over the fucking world, and trying to finish this N.A.S.A. film.

I just got back last night from Brazil, where Ze and I DESTROYED the Nokia Trends festival in Sao Paulo. It was dope>> We had the full Cosmic Crew in Effect!

We put a dope Serato video set together, which we are doing for all of our N.A.S.A. shows lately…

Designed some dope new space monster costumes for the show…

Had the dopest breakdancers I’ve ever seen…

And basically just wrecked shop.

It was a dope show and a fun ass crowd>>

Bomb the Bass and Kid Sister opened up for us and our good homie Z-Trip closed out the night with a hot fire set as always>>

Stay tuned for more N.A.S.A. tasties. We’re going to have a home for all of the amazing N.A.S.A. animated videos and music here on the blog, plus I’ll be posting a live video mix tape of our show up here in a bit.

Much love!!
Sam

HIP HOP TWOSDAYS: O.D.B.

Tuesday, November 18th, 2008

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

Tuesday, November 18th, 2008

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!!
