# 00037 - trouvaille 002.2
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..

again the corresponding video!
apart from
that, there’s nothing more to say than: enjoy!

unexplicably, unexcusably (but in all honesty very expectedly) late, i'm tying up some loose ends.. as previously announced, metasyons unemployment lp (produced by crate digga, coproduced by sleepy biggs) did drop on august 12th and the corresponding tour of "the unemployed smokers" turned out to be a success.. actually, there remains nothing else to say than grab a copy (here) or check once more the video blackman, but this time.. LIVE!

although to many it might seem that the release of yet another beattape (on cd no less) is not such a big deal, however, at the end of the day, it still is a good reason to celebrate.. thus, YOU are most cordially invited to khaderbai's album release listening party!
first and foremost, it's all happening at the 10th of september (2011 d'uh?!), meaning both the physical and the digital release of the record and coincidentally, the celebratory release party..
the party will be hosted at the wonderful and recently awarded dini mueter at the langstrasse in zurich, switzerland (supposedly the craziest 'hood' in all of switzerland.. speaking of keepin' it street..).. of course, the doors will be open all day (since it is a café), but the proverbial bear will be tap-dancing from 10pm right up until the wee hours of sunday morning (this saying might be lost in translation.. excusez-moi)..
although there won't be any actual performing (well, at least no musical showcase.. BUT i might be dancing suggestively), this will be a one-of-a-kind opportunity to
1) listen to khaderbai's music in company with others (well, hopefully..) and furthermore, to
2) purchase one of the few physical copies of this extremely limited and highly exclusive release!
so, if you're around and can spare a minute or two, please come by and say hi, i'd be thrilled.. and please drag along everybody you can get a hold of.. hope to see you there!

in order to draw attention to khaderbai's previously announced project, which is to be released this september (yes.. good ol' promo), jérôme furrer fabricated this short film, visualizing one of khaderbai's beats, specifically the track 'wintertime'.. if you may, it's the first (and most likely, only) single of the upcoming record krüml no.01 - d'schildchrodd (for those of you who aren't familiar with the swiss-german idiosyncrasy, 'd'schildchrodd' means 'the turtle' or rather, 'da turtle' (yes, i'm keepin' it street))..

supposedly, there is only a thin line between cheeky charming and cheeky brazen, but despite this, here i am, cheekily advertising a release that i have been affiliated with very closely.. so, without further ado:
since no one seems to really know what this is all about, i'll spell it out for you: the up to now mostly unknown beatmaker khaderbai is releasing his beattape-ish album krüml no.01 - d'schildchrodd in september.. more infos and treats on this site very soon.. so watch out!

# 00026 - trouvaille 003
okay.. there are numerous ways to start this off.. how the city of Detroit is this seemingly endless pool of musical talent (and it is).. how this tough city in the Midwest is and apparently has always been sustaining so many great musicians, regardless of what kind of music.. and so forth.. but, to tell you the truth, i’ve never been there.. thus, i can’t really tell you anything about it.. so, 'nuff blabla and let's cut right to the chase:
U N I T E D S T A T E S O F M I N D
or short: USM, “is a collective of diverse, yet like-minded individuals who have come together to advance today’s stagnant hip-hop culture. The collective consists of five emcees (Asylum 7, Metasyons, W. Draztik, 5-Ill, & D. Allie) and two dj’s/producers (Crate Digga & Sleepy Biggs)“..
obviously, they’ve been around for some time now and since they make a lot of their releases available online for free, it’s easy to check them out.. but, being caught up in this fast-paced world, let’s focus on two more or less recent releases and one soon to be launched project..
although there have been several releases beneath the collective’s banner – an album (memorably entitled kill the bullsh!t) and several samplers (vol. 1, 2, 3 & 4) – their recent ones have mostly been composed by ‘reduced formations’..
one of them is w. draztik & sleepy biggs' smokers cough
coming along with the record, they’ve released (so far) three enticing videos..
another collaboration would be progress report.. this time usm’s d. allie reached outside of the collective to partner up with eddie logix, “producer/mc/audio engineer [&] 1/3 of MidCoast Most”.. they released an album of the same name earlier this year..
again, there are some enhancing visuals..
at last, a look into the near future:
metasyons is about to release his next project in august (on the 12th), the unemployment lp, produced by crate digga.. as an hors d’oeuvre and to get the anticipation going, the visuals to blackman..
