the last Le Flah session in 2013 welcomed Zurich based beatmaker khaderbai - not only on the mpc and sp, but - as always - on the turntables as well, since he is one of the founders, organizers and hosts and djs of Le Flah.. we pity them fools who missed the show and look forward to the next Le Flah evening!

STÜSSY recently released a two-parted mini-documentary about the influential and popular tv-sensation YO! MTV RAPS. Unfortunately, it's really short, so basically, it's almost merely a bunch of cool people telling the audience how important the show was in its day. Nevertheless, loads of important or at least noteworthy faces and some original footage - hence a lot of fun to watch! CH-CH-CHECK IT OUT!
in the last couple of months, FUSE released a (for me pleasantly surprising amount of) new CRATE DIGGERS episodes via youtube.. if you don't know the beloved vinyl collector series, you're in for a real treat.. the gist of it: producers, djs, musicians and/or collectors open their doors and talk about their vinyl record collections: their weirdest digging stories, their rarest gems and so forth..
ecstatic about these new episodes, i've decided to feature them on BIGINEUROPE as well, in no particular order..
to start off, this might be my favorite episode featuring one of my favorite djs: J.ROCC.. enjoy!

the last time, i've been posting on usm (united states of mind, detroit), i've mentioned 5ill's skatter brain fokus rather briefly.. my bad! but don't worry, stupefyingly eloquent reviews can be found, for example in the awesome dead magazine..
but this is no blank reminder.. EXTRA EXTRA! READ THE HEADLINES! there is a video in line with the release! and it does visualize one of my favorite tracks of the record: king heron
in order to keep this trouvaille (1, 2 & 3) continuously (and reasonably) updated, here the follow-ups:
first, if you're still looking for a christmas present (for ya damn self?!), make yourself or anybody for that matter happy and download 5ill's skatter brain fokus.. just one beautifully grooving instrumental after another..
there are literally thousands of possible follow-ups to the primary entry on sampling (or remixing), but for numerous reasons i chose to complement kirby ferguson's mini-series with two installments by the notorious ivan, creator of hiphopisread and boombapbeatnik, hiphop connoisseur and incomprehensibly a lakers fan (i mean, seriously?).. however, ivan compiled the samples used by the RZA applied in the Wu-Tang Clan's enter the wu-tang (36 chambers) (already in the title alluding to one of the sources) and GZA's liquid swords in two short films, blending not only familiar vocal samples but also memorable moments of film.. furthermore, it highlights the downright nerdish competence of the RZA regarding this b-movie genre, which supposedly earned him not only his job as a musical contributor (i.e. for Ghost Dog and Kill Bill), but also as consultant regarding sound effects and so forth..
