Episode 172 : Yield To None

"Do you wanna be dope, or do you wanna deal it?"

- Common

All Hip-Hop at a nice steady pace - but a varied platter of vibes - for this episode, as I celebrate my birth month! 

Great personal news : I'm very proud to be included in the new "Hidden Histories : Black in Manchester" resource by Parise Carmichael-Murphy - have a read!

Playlist/Notes

Meyhem Lauren & DJ Muggs : GT3

From the car-themed "Members Only" 2019 collaboration between Meyhem and Cypress Hill DJ/producer DJ Muggs, this track integrates the sound of some very angry engines as an additional instrument/element of what is otherwise an extremely sparse bit of production - drums and bass only. Meyhem is laid-back and comfortable at this pace, crafting a track that even those of us without a Porsche on the driveway can appreciate - well, as long as our speakers or headphones deliver the goods!

[RZA] Raekwon : Can It All Be So Simple (Remix Instrumental)

You might detect a little sonic garbling where I was using Serato's "stems" feature to try and remove the vocal samples in the hook, but other than that here's the glorious sound of a hard-to-come-by RZA instrumental of a track from the monumental "Only Built 4 Cuban Linx..." LP. Rae, Ghost, and RZA took their track from the Wu-Tang debut LP which was already a classic and subtly made it a little darker, a touch rougher and a little less nostalgic. A masterful remix and rewrite.

Roc Marciano : Ridin' Around

A very different kind of rider music to the opening track, but still with an ominous bassline which helps carry the vintage crime vibes perfectly. This is a deep cut from Roc Marciano's seminal solo debut "Marcberg" album, with his gangster wordplay on full display atop a track with more drum action than on much of his later work.

Showbiz & AG : Trapped

This is one of those records which, despite being by a highly respected group, has likely slipped under your radar. The DITC production legend Showbiz is here under his original name (you can find much of his other work credited as simply "Show") alongside his day one MC AG on this late-night creep number from the 2012 "Mugshot Music" album.

Planet Asia ft. Prodigy : Stick & Move

If you love your dark, underground NYC Hip-Hop, you might have heard this sample used elsewhere, but for the current episode this is the slow, menacing, bi-coastal track that gets the nod. Fresno and Queensbridge in combination as Planet Asia and Prodigy (RIP) go back and forth over an Evidence beat on this 2005 release. Not even a hint of going for the pop audience here, just gutter from start to end. Got to respect it.

Mud Family : Itchy Town

I've been holding onto this one for absolutely years! I first heard this on a "Radio Zero" show courtesy of Dave The Ruf, and it's a dark, brooding piece of UK boom-bap from this highly-regarded north London crew. Centred around the MCs Chester P, Skinnyman, and Mongo, they released their core work in the late 90s and early 00s, with this absolute beast being on their very first wax release, 1997s "The Mud Files, Vol. 1". Production on the EP as a whole is credited to Deckwrecka, Firebomb Fritz, and Mad Money Wah - not sure who did what on this cut, but I applaud them for cooking up a track that still bangs after over twenty-five years!

DJ Premier : Dee Ell P

It's been over a decade since DJ Premier gave us a "Beats That Collected Dust" collection, but there's a good reason for that...as he correctly points out, the beats that end up included have to be given time to collect that dust! With that said, the third edition is out now, and is a good digital pickup while the (likely pricey) vinyl works it's way through distribution to the shops. As for the title of this selection from the new release, I haven't deciphered it yet. "The LP"? Was it a track meant for Large Professor, perhaps? Probably overthinking it - just enjoy the master of the MPC 60 going back into his vaults.

Mabanua ft. Kev Brown : Holdin' It Down

I had completely missed this but was introduced to it by none other than Kev Brown himself when he played it on one of his "Beats 'n' Stuff" shows on Twitch! While he drops plenty of unreleased material, he'll throw in overlooked gems from his discography like this one, a collaboration with Japanese beatmaker Mabanua. Given that Kev is on the mic all the way through, I can only assume that Mabanua did the production here - even though it has that Kev Brown feel in spades!

De La Soul ft. Common : The Bizness

An old classic from some of the greats. If you don't already have De La Soul's "Stakes Is High" album, you can now easily buy digitally or stream it, so get on that! This track has, apart from one regrettable homophobic reference from Common which the label partly censored, bars upon bars of heat on a self-produced track that you can't help but nod your head to. I can also think of at least three Hip-Hop tracks that sampled/scratched lines from this one, which is a sure sign of a piece of work that has your peers paying attention!

Blu & Exile : Berries and Juices

You can't help but bop to this, Exile's beat has an undeniable bounce and while Blu does say "beat so sweet that I ain't even gotta do s--t", he unquestionably lifts it to that next level with a couple of chilled verses. Bonus points for the "Coming To America" reference 🙂 Take heed to the title of the album this is drawn from - "Give Me My Flowers While I Can Still Smell Them" - and apply that sentiment to not only this duo but all the artists you enjoy!

pH7 ft. Access Immortal and DJ Roger Rekless : New York

A long-lost track that only resurfaced for me during the Great Digitisation of 2020-2023! A trans-Atlantic collaboration with German artists pH7 (Cologne) and DJ Roger Rekless (Munich) coming together with Bed-Stuy MC Access Immortal for a jazzy number with solid boom-bap underpinnings, tight cuts, and an overall clean and refreshing sound. You can find this on the somewhat obscure "Blazing Heat" EP,  

Ilajide : Ayerloom

Taking it back (ok, not that far back) to 2015 for a beat from "Latex", the first solo LP by one of my favourites, Ilajide of Clear Soul Forces. That drum beat could have come from an 80s Hip-Hop classic, as could the rest of the sounds on the track - and yet, as a whole it doesn't seem of that era. This Detroit beatsmith isn't afraid to go after a certain sonic hardness that other producers might shy away from in the modern era, and it's that banging aggression that helps set him apart.

Kuartz : Glitch In The Ghost

Local beat legend Kuartz released his new LP "Hybrid Dialects" this month, and it's a collection of bassy, techy, angular production that is well worth spending your hard-earned cash on! This was the first track I heard from it, which he debuted earlier in the year at Manchester's WORKINONIT beatmakers event - it was so raw that I had to ask him for an advance copy 😁 I've played it on Twitch a couple of times but now here it is as a taster for the album.

Grand Agent ft. Liv L'Raynge : Ooh-La-Lah

I hadn't heard this for absolutely ages until pulling it out earlier this month, which is a sign that no-one I've been listening to has been playing it either! Grand Agent collaborated with Oxnard production wizard Oh No on the "Under The Circumstances" LP which this track is drawn from, and the album has the husky-voiced MC Liv L'Raynge as the featured guest - with this track being her standout performance. She burns it down on the opening verse over Oh No's heavy beat, and really steals the whole show to be honest!

Coyote ft. Shaquille O'Neal : 3 Lokos

I first heard an excerpt of this on Instagram - not sure it was on Shaq's page, but either way it sent me to go ahead and find the full version of this new single! Coyote is the pairing of Ladies Love Guapo and Ricky Blanco, neither of whom I know already but they both spit rugged on this track, which they produced alongside Brian Lee and on which they were specifically going for a hardcore 90s feel. I know, I know...you want to know about Shaq. Well...he kills his verse. The doctorate-holding four-time NBA champion has been recording since 1993's guest appearance on "What's Up Doc?" by the Fu-Schnickens and his "Shaq Diesel" LP, and despite a long break he comes out spitting with that hunger! 

K-Otix : World Renown

Classic underground Hip-Hop right here from 2000, and now available along with the rest of the "Universal" LP on Bandcamp, so no reason not to put some dough in the artists' pockets! You might hear this record and think NYC, but nope - this is a Houston record! It might have been releaed on Bronx Science record, but the skills are all Texas-raised. The incredibly memorable beat comes from the man known as The ARE, who has also done some amazing work outside the crew, and Damien and Micah take the vocal reins. Big record.

DJ Spinna : Surely (Instrumental)

As we move with the wind-down, here's a beautiful track from the studio of DJ Spinna, taken from the instrumental release of his solo debut on BBE, "Here To There". With Ovasoul7's vocals gone, the guitar of the late UK jazz guitar legend Ronny Jordan and the programming work of DJ Spinna get to take centre stage, giving the track a different dimension.

Method Man ft. Ghostface Killah : Afterparty

An appropriate record to end the show with! A dope sing-songy exchange between Meth and Ghost starts the track off, and the melodic approach pops up throughout the track in between straight up bars over a smooth beat from a producer credited simply as "Q", but better known to most as Qur'an from Da Youngstas (sorry, can't bring myself to put the incorrect apostrophe in!) Still my favourite track on "Tical 0 : The Prequel", just as it was on first listen.

Please remember to support the artists you like! The purpose of putting the podcast out and providing the full tracklist is to try and give some light, so do use the songs on each episode as a starting point to search out more material. If you have Spotify in your country it's a great way to explore, but otherwise there's always Youtube and the like. Seeing your favourite artists live is the best way to put money in their pockets, and buy the vinyl/CDs/downloads of the stuff you like the most!

The Evolution of DJ Equipment: From Vinyl to Digital

The world of DJing has transformed dramatically over the decades. What began with simple turntables and vinyl records has evolved into a high-tech landscape filled with digital innovations. This evolution not only reflects advancements in technology but also the changing needs and creative expressions of DJs worldwide. Let’s explore this fascinating journey from vinyl to digital DJ equipment.

The Golden Age of Vinyl

In the early days, DJs used vinyl records on turntables to mix music. This period, often referred to as the golden age of vinyl, was characterized by the tactile and physical nature of DJing. DJs had to manually beatmatch tracks by adjusting the pitch control on their turntables, a skill that required a sharp ear and steady hand.

Turntables and Mixers

Technics SL-1200: One of the most iconic turntables of all time, the Technics SL-1200, became a staple in DJ booths worldwide. Its durability and precision made it a favorite among DJs.

DJ Mixers: Mixers allowed DJs to blend tracks seamlessly. Brands like Pioneer, Numark, were popular choices, featuring crossfaders and EQ controls essential for smooth transitions.

The Rise of CDJs

In the 1990s, CDs began to replace vinyl records. This shift was driven by the convenience of CDs, which were more portable and less prone to damage. The introduction of CDJs (CD turntables) marked a significant technological leap.

Key Features of CDJs

Pitch Control: Similar to vinyl turntables, CDJs allowed DJs to adjust the pitch to match beats.

Looping and Cueing: CDJs introduced new functionalities like looping and cueing, which were not possible with vinyl records.

Digital Displays: These provided DJs with more information, such as track length and BPM (beats per minute), aiding in more precise mixing.

The Digital Revolution

The early 2000s saw the advent of digital DJing, revolutionizing the industry. Digital audio files replaced physical media, and laptops became an essential part of the DJ setup.

Digital DJ Software

Serato and Traktor: These were among the first software programs to gain widespread adoption. They allowed DJs to store thousands of tracks on their computers, use digital effects, and visualize waveforms for easier beatmatching.

Ableton Live: Known for its powerful looping and sampling capabilities, Ableton Live became a favorite for DJs who also produced their own music.

Controllers and Interfaces

MIDI Controllers: Devices like the Pioneer DDJ-SX and Native Instruments' Traktor Kontrol series provided tactile control over digital DJ software, mimicking the feel of traditional DJ equipment.

Audio Interfaces: High-quality audio interfaces ensured that digital setups could match the sound quality of vinyl and CDJs.

Modern Innovations

Today's DJ equipment integrates the best of both worlds, offering the tactile satisfaction of physical gear with the versatility of digital technology.

Hybrid Setups

All-in-One DJ Systems: Devices from Pioneer combine the functionality of CDJs and mixers into a single unit, making them perfect for both mobile and club DJs.

DVS (Digital Vinyl System): Systems like Serato DVS allow DJs to control digital tracks using traditional vinyl records, providing the feel of vinyl with the convenience of digital.

Advancements in Technology

Sync and Quantize: Modern software features like sync and quantize help DJs automatically match beats, allowing them to focus more on creativity.

Cloud Integration: DJs can now access their music libraries from the cloud, ensuring they always have their tracks available, no matter where they are.

Where to Buy DJ Equipment

For those inspired to start or upgrade their DJ setup, reputable shops like VIP PRO AUDIO in Brooklyn such big shops provides everything from classic turntables and mixers to the latest digital controllers and software, ensuring DJ's have access to the best tools for their craft.

The evolution of DJ equipment from vinyl to digital reflects the dynamic and ever-changing nature of the music industry. Each technological advancement has brought new opportunities for creativity and expression, allowing DJs to push the boundaries of what’s possible. Whether you’re a nostalgic vinyl enthusiast or a cutting-edge digital DJ, the right equipment is out there to help you create amazing music experiences.

Understanding DJ Software with Supreme Jones, Maryland: Choosing the Right Tools for Mixing

In the dynamic world of DJing, mastering the art of mixing is essential for creating seamless transitions and captivating performances. Central to this skill is the use of DJ software, which provides the necessary tools and features to manipulate and blend music tracks. Aspiring DJs often face the challenge of selecting the right software to suit their needs and preferences. In this blog, we will delve into the intricacies of DJ software, guiding you through the process of choosing the right tools for mixing and honing your craft as a DJ.

Understanding the Basics of DJ Software

Before diving into specific software options, it's crucial to understand the basic functionalities and features of DJ software. At its core, DJ software allows you to mix and manipulate audio tracks in real-time, enabling you to create seamless transitions between songs, apply effects, and adjust tempo and pitch. Most software platforms offer a user-friendly interface with intuitive controls, making it accessible to beginners and experienced DJs alike.

Additionally, DJ software often includes features such as waveform displays, cue points, and loop controls, which allow for precise timing and synchronization of tracks. Some advanced software may also offer additional features such as sample decks, MIDI support, and compatibility with external controllers and hardware. By familiarizing yourself with the basic functions and features of software with the help of an experienced DJ such as Supreme Jones, Maryland, you can make informed decisions when selecting the right tools for your mixing needs.

Identifying Your Mixing Style and Preferences

When choosing software, it's essential to consider your unique mixing style, preferences, and workflow. Different software platforms offer varying levels of customization and flexibility, allowing you to tailor your setup to suit your specific needs. Consider factors such as the type of music you mix, your preferred DJing techniques, and the level of control you require over your tracks.

For example, if you prefer a traditional setup with two decks and a mixer, you may opt for software that mimics the layout and functionality of traditional equipment. On the other hand, if you're interested in experimenting with advanced effects and creative mixing techniques, you may gravitate towards software that offers a wide range of features and customization options. By identifying your mixing style and preferences as underscored by professional DJs like Supreme Jones, Maryland, you can narrow down your options and choose software that aligns with your artistic vision and goals as a DJ.

Exploring Popular DJ Software Platforms

In the world of DJ software, several platforms have emerged as industry standards, each offering unique features and capabilities to meet the diverse needs of DJs. One of the most popular software platforms is Serato DJ, known for its user-friendly interface, robust feature set, and compatibility with a wide range of hardware controllers. Serato DJ is favored by many professional DJs for its stability and reliability in live performance settings.

Another popular option is Native Instruments' Traktor Pro as pointed out by experienced DJs such as Supreme Jones, Maryland, which offers extensive customization options, powerful effects, and seamless integration with Native Instruments' hardware controllers. Traktor Pro is renowned for its versatility and flexibility, making it a favorite among DJs who value creativity and experimentation in their mixing.

Evaluating Key Features and Functionality

When evaluating software options, it's essential to consider key features and functionality that are important to your mixing workflow. Look for software that offers comprehensive library management tools, allowing you to organize and categorize your music collection efficiently. Additionally, consider the availability of advanced mixing features such as beat syncing, key detection, and harmonic mixing, which can enhance your creativity and precision in mixing.

Furthermore, assess the software's compatibility with external hardware controllers and MIDI devices, as well as its integration with popular music streaming services and digital music platforms. Evaluate the level of customer support and community resources available for each software platform, as well as any additional costs or subscription fees associated with software updates and upgrades. By carefully evaluating key features and functionality as emphasized by professional DJs including Supreme Jones, Maryland, you can choose DJ software that meets your specific requirements and empowers you to take your mixing skills to the next level.

Considering Budget and Affordability

While there are many high-quality software options available, it's essential to consider your budget and affordability when making your selection. Some software platforms offer free or entry-level versions with limited features, allowing you to get started with basic mixing without breaking the bank. These options are ideal for beginners or hobbyists who are just starting their DJing journey and may not require advanced features.

For more experienced DJs or professionals looking for advanced functionality, premium software options typically offer a wider range of features and capabilities at a higher price point. Consider your budget and long-term investment in your DJing career when choosing between free, entry-level, and premium software options. Keep in mind that while premium software may require a larger upfront investment, it often offers greater flexibility, stability, and support, making it a worthwhile investment for serious DJs.

Seeking Feedback and Recommendations

Finally, don't hesitate to seek feedback and recommendations from experienced DJs, industry professionals, and online communities when choosing software. Reach out to fellow DJs for their insights and experiences with different software platforms, and ask for recommendations based on your specific needs and preferences. Online forums, social media groups, and DJing communities are valuable resources for connecting with other DJs, sharing knowledge, and learning from each other's experiences.

Additionally, read reviews and testimonials from reputable sources to gain a better understanding of the pros and cons of each software platform. Look for feedback on factors such as stability, performance, ease of use, and customer support, as well as any unique features or capabilities that set each software apart. By leveraging the collective wisdom and expertise of the DJing community, you can make informed decisions when selecting software and set yourself up for success in your mixing journey.

Choosing the Right DJ Software for Mixing

Selecting the right DJ software is essential for mastering the art of mixing and honing your skills as a DJ. By understanding the basics of software with the help of an experienced DJ like Supreme Jones, Maryland, identifying your mixing style and preferences, exploring popular software platforms, evaluating key features and functionality, considering budget and affordability, and seeking feedback and recommendations, you can make informed decisions that align with your artistic vision and goals. With the right tools and software at your disposal, you can unleash your creativity, express your unique style, and captivate audiences with your electrifying mixes.
