BILL LASWELL / DJ KRUSH - SHUEN
Turntablist
and producer, DJ Krush, is one of the first Japanese artists to be embraced by
the global hip-hop world. Beginning by mixing elements of R & B and Acid Jazz with the big
breakbeat backbone of mid- tempo hip-hop. Gradually moving more toward the
abstract applying heavy effects and sample manipulation to thick, smart breaks,
layered, ambient textures and subtle, inventive scratching. Heard here in duet
with ikonoklast bassist/producer Bill Laswell. Shuen shows both musicians
seamlessly navigate through the ambient / world beat matrix...a brief journey
into sound and rhythm. (9:04)
METHOD OF DEFIANCE - PHANTOM SOUNDCLASH CUT-UP METHOD: ONE
A
spontaneous-recombinant, concrete music / sound collage. Electric Miles Davis,
avant-funk, dub, reggae, noise, free-jazz and flashes of Africa - endure
constnat rhythmic sound blasts, sonic detonations and high energy malfunctions.
All past wreckage as raw material to be applied to the construction of
completely new forms. Dr. Israel, Garrison Hawk, P-Funk icon - Bernie Worrell,
Gambian Griot and kora master - Foday Musa Suso, Adam Rudolph, Graham Haynes,
Peter Apfelbaum, Guy Licata and Bill Laswell... To be continued.
BERNIE WORRELL - PHANTOM SOUNDCLASH CUT-UP METHOD: TWO
P-Funk
legend Bernie Worrell, without a doubt, the most influential and definitely the
most emulated and copied electronic keyboardist in modern music. His work
totally defined the synthesizer of 80s and 90s hip-hop and can still be clearly
recognized in the pop hits of today. Caught here in a classic sound / mush
up...that moves from delicate to simply raw, intense and bombastic free-form
funkafied filth reloaded. In collaboration with multi-directional percussion
virtuoso Adam Rudolph, Brooklyn's finest DJ / beat generator - Dr. Israel, Bill
Laswell and the original Bronx DJ - Grandmixer DXT (Zulu Nation, Wild Style)
best known for introducing scratching to the mainstream on Herbie Hancock's
mega hit "Rockit"... Thus spawning a generation of innovative
turntablists...The history continues.
