Baseline Aesthetics
I'm excited to be rocking at this new party in New York with DJ Dopeshoes (Homegrown Blends)called "Baseline Aestheics", the night is dedicated to strictly classics, Hip Hop, Funk, Soul and Disco. In addition to this being the blast off night it will as serve as a release party for the newest issue of Between The Breaks magazine (which I've been blessed to have been interviewed in). The magazine also covers interviews with Roxrite, The Beat Swap Meet and other art, lifestyle and culture topics. Copies of the magazine will be given out to the first 50 people that arrive.
The Postman Rings Twice For "Nice"
Nothing like checking the morning mail and finding new music in the form of 7" that your excited to play out at your next gig.
Looks like the homie Paul Nice is back with another Sure Shot and that's literally speaking considering that his labels name is Sure Shot! This go around Paul remixes the Rhymefest featuring Kanye West track "Brand New" which I've always liked but this new take on it is gonna cause me to put it back into regular rotation when I'm spinning out.
The B side features the instrumental track which is great, you can really tell how crafty Paul went into detail with the 80's R&B feel, nice drums, nice bass, nice bounce, a winner in my book.
This exclusive red vinyl 7" is limited to only 300 copies and signed by Paul Nice. Get your copy now before it's gone!

Thun City Sights
Going through my camera and pulling some flix off. Here's a few random shots while spending New Years in Switzerland.
Buuuurrrger!
It's been a minute since I've sampled a really proper burger but in the last two weeks I've had 2 really really grand ones. First up was recommended by the homie Jolin Ras while out in Vancouver last week, I guess he felt that we needed to have a full stomach before we headed out for a day of diggin for records. This was the Man's Man Burger which turned out to be bonkers!
Romer's Burger Bar knows good beer and great burgers!
Next up was actually a sort of burger reunion that I had with the cat I actually started the burger mission with, Ynot. He's been back in Philly for a week and it's only right that we indulge in a tasty burger at PYT. This was the first time that I strayed away from my usual and opted to go for the pretzel burger. This was a nice piece of beef, stacked with sirloin steak on top, cheddar and laid between a nice Philly soft pretzel bun. Complete that with a few beers and it's a wrap!

Still Going Ape Sh*t
I love when artist can re-imagine and redo a classic movie poster but still keep it with a clean timeless look and not overly done. The Planet of the Apes film series is one of my all time favorites so this is definitely something that I might have to jump on.
Austin, Texas’s Mondo has linked up with artists Rich Kelly, Jason Edmiston, Phantom City Creative, Florian Bertmer, Martin Ansin and Ken Taylor for a series of limited edition Planet of the Apes posters. Released yesterday as a set and then again today individually, the exclusive prints display a unique take on the movie posters that originally promoted the classic film franchise. Spanning from 1968′s Planet of the Apes to 1973′s Battle for the Planet of the Apes, the entire run of exclusive prints was scooped up by fans of the franchise in a matter of minutes.

It's Like Butter Baby
Catch me Sunday night in Vancouver at Mirage Club for ButterMilk Pancakes. I'll be spinning anything and everything that bangs, thumps and bumps.
The Sound of Kung Fu
Hot Peas & Butta is back with another installment to the Sound of Film series with the current being dedicated to the classic 42nd Street Shaw Brothers Kung Fu films and two of the greatest composers of all time, Lalo Schifrin and Roy Budd, for this cinematic adventure titled Schifrin & Budd Play Shaw. In true Hot Peas and Butta fashion, Skeme Richards reworks dialog from some of his favorite flix and rearranges them to his favorite film scores which gives it a totally new feel from both angles.
Sit back, relax, grab your popcorn and enjoy this adventure.
