The National Hellenic Museum has been busy making some intro videos for their new beautiful Chicago museum. If you were waiting for the right time to tap into your Greek heritage, it’s probably time to go check it out.
The NHM has been using beats from this site in their videos. Check them here:
Comments appreciated.
Inspiration may be a form of super-consciousness, or perhaps of subconsciousness – I wouldn’t know. But I am sure it is the antithesis of self-consciousness.
Aaron Copland
The newest jazz to make it to mp3 form here in the past few days.
Shout outs to two mic and a kit, mudkids, yannick aka Jazzmen and others who have had nice things to say recently.
Freshly mastered by soliq. It sounds pristine.

Full Time Funk #8: Diachronic Mix
I’ll be posting more often due to my recent decision to cut off ties with the Friendly Networking Monolith known as Facebook – I had been more active in posting things I liked there.
I’ve been cooped up in the lab for a few days not feeling well and letting my body cleanse itself out. During that time I was catching up on some crate/internet digging finds and came across The Isley Brothers’ “Love Put Me On the Corner” from ’72. Souled On has a great writeup about it and the original track for download.
Below is a two-day beat – I’m still missing my ultrasone HFI-450′s (They recently took them back and repaired them for me — thank you Ultrasone!) and am doing my mixing on a laptop and some harman/kardon $25 computer speakers. Because I can’t hear what I’m writing, I had to go out of my way and use the single catchy element that needs no $1000+ monitors: silence. It was a process of clipping away and being more mindful of sample uses. It meant 2 and 4-step loops instead of 2-bar loops.
There are about 6 different samples in this track. Can you name them…?
Feedback is always welcome, and especially from strangers.
I’ve been without proper cans or any monitors for over two months now and am pulling out my hair. I heard some John Berry a few days ago and was hypnotized…below is an attempt to balance and put out a track using some janky computer speakers. If you want to balance it proper, let me know and I’ll email you the details.
