"Audimatic, just for my people"

2009-11-23T10:59:00.009-05:00

Below is a clip I'd like to share as I introduce to you a new project that I'm very excited about! I am going to be producing a full album for BBAS member The Audible Doctor, aka AMD. The idea came about as we were reflecting on some of the most classic albums. Our goal is to bring back the continuity of hip hop albums past.

One emcee, one producer.

We go by Audimatic.

This clip was the premiere of our first track called 'The Colors' on the Main Ingredient Show with DJ Kingstun.

We hope you enjoy and look out for the Audimatic full-length album coming in 2010!

Who's Next?

2009-10-30T11:49:00.003-04:00

NYC's biggest Hip Hop radio station Hot97 has a page on their website dedicated to promoting/featuring new talent, and my friends of the Brown Bag All Stars have been featured here!

Also featured is the track I produced for BBAS called “Dumbin’ Out.” I am very proud of this song as it continues to appear on the internet and is receiving support. Take a look at the feature and vote for the tracks. Spread good music!

The Grand Prize.

2009-10-21T13:12:00.004-04:00

I entered a remix contest via Indaba Music this past May. The project called for artists to remix John Legend's "If You're Out There." Those that finished in the top 10 of the entries would receive an autographed copy of his album "Evolver."

I gave it to her

(aka John Legend's biggest fan).

Also, I will be spinning here this friday, Oct. 23rd...I will see you all then!

Fall is Here...

2009-10-05T11:31:00.005-04:00

I am back on the decks this Friday night at Huckleberry spinning all the classics that you've never heard. New season, new music, see you all there!

Pimps Don't Pay Taxes

2009-09-30T13:19:00.010-04:00

J-Zone is an emcee/producer/DJ who's beats sound nothing like anything you’ve ever heard before, and is one of my musical influences. Here is J’s bio and discography, check this track here to get a sampling.

We share a few common interests: camo cargo shorts (who’s brand will remain nameless), our infinite admiration for a living, breathing, rappin’ pimp named Suga Free, and we also tend to share a few unpopular music opinions which is the basis for this post.

See for yourself, go check out J-Zone’s blog here. Whether you agree or disagree with his points of view, it’s always a good read and great for discussion.

Nuthin' But Classics

2009-07-07T10:52:00.011-04:00

This Friday, join me as I take you on a journey through music of the 1960s-90s...and possibly some early 2000s (classic stuff in there too!) I'll also be doing my own little tribute to Michael Jackson.

Huckleberry is the spot. The drinks are cold. See you there!

Timeless Music

2009-07-01T13:12:00.004-04:00

The world lost the greatest entertainer of all-time last week, and I personally am still getting over it. It was a beautiful thing to hear every car on my block drive by blasting MJ's music...not just the Thriller album too...cars were playing everything from the early Jackson 5 to his 2001 Invincible album.

Soundscan numbers for last week were just released and MJ holds 8 of the top 10 spots on the Billboard charts, unbelieveable.

-excerpt from MTV.com "His Number Ones greatest hits package leads the pack at #1, selling more than 108,000 copies, a staggering 2,340 percent sales increase. The Essential Michael Jackson and Thriller follow at #2 and #3, selling more than 102,000 and 101,000 copies, respectively.
His breakthrough Off the Wall album is at #4, selling more than 33,000 copies nearly 30 years after it was initially released. The Jackson 5's Ultimate Collection is next at #5, with sales of more than 18,000 copies. His 1987 Bad album returns at #6 (17,000 sold); Dangerous is at #7 (14,000); HIStory — Volume 1 is at #8 (12,000); and the 2004 Jackson box set, The Ultimate Collection, lands at #9 (11,000)."

It is confusing to me that someone has to die to be celebrated in that way?

Good music is good music...especially when it stands the test of time.

RIP Mike, you will be missed.

Here's an exclusive MJ mix from who, in my opinion, is the greatest DJ on the planet. J. Rocc of the world famous Beat Junkies. Enjoy!

Here is a video of one of the hardest working rap groups in NYC - The Brown Bag All-Stars performing a song that I produced for them @ The Voodoo Lounge on June 4th.

Stay tuned, Thursday I'll be posting a NEW song...

Congrats Pens! 2009 Stanley Cup Champs.

The Real.

2009-06-09T15:21:00.004-04:00

I just want to take a minute and shout out my homie Marco Polo. This dude has tremendous talent and work ethic. He has produced records for some of the greatest rap legends of our time...including Kool G Rap, Masta Ace, Buckshot (Black Moon) to name a few. June 2nd was the official release date of the new Marco Polo & Torae album, 'Double Barrel.' Buy it!

In the video below, Marco takes you into his world as he makes a beat using multiple records.

Hip Hop needs more of this. Support it.

GOULET!

It's Summer...so come see me spin!

2009-06-01T15:31:00.003-04:00

It's been a minute since my last post. Friday, June 12th I will be DJing at Huckleberry, and you will be there! (I hope) Is there anything better than outdoor seating at a bar in the summertime w/ good music? I don't think so...

My friends at Homage Clothing even hooked me up with some fresh gear for the occasion.
http://www.homageclothing.com/ Check the site, great tee's!

See you next Friday.

Honorable Mention

2009-05-04T10:46:00.005-04:00

Last Friday the judges voted and gave my remix an honorable mention with a nice "golf clap" icon next to my name on the indaba music website...

Here is the complete winners list & congrats to all the finalists.

I want to thank all those who took the time to vote & a special thanks to my wife LJKC, and friends Vein, Gabby & Jenn who made blog entries about the remix contest - I appreciate the support!

The Beats section is up, and keep checking back for more tracks...

Have a good week.

Friday - May 8th

2009-04-30T11:04:00.007-04:00

There are 2 things you can rely on creating mass-hysteria these days: Swine flu and maticulous' Huckleberry sets.

Beat player will be added very shortly, be on the lookout...

REMIX!!!!

2009-04-06T12:23:00.006-04:00

I recently did a remix for a John Legend track, "If You're Out There."

I compare it to a newer version of "We Are the World." Normally, I don't do remixes ...but I figured this would be a good challenge.

Let me know what you think

Peace.

Good Friday
