I've been wanting to post about my experience opening for Grandmaster Flash (in April) for a while now, finally getting around to doing it. The basic statement I want to make is "Grandmaster Flash is a washed up jerk face." Ok, ok, dude like invented djing and shit, is now 60 years old and I guess deserves some respect for his contributions to hip hop, but that doesn't mean homie has to be a total prima donna punk. From what the promoters told me, their whole experience with him focused around his complete lack of respect for them and outlandish demands for superstar treatment. So not keeping it real. I was told two weeks before the show that I was only allowed to play house music, so I tried to prepare a total mind-blowing house set for the night... then an hour before getting to sound check the promoter told me that I could play hip hop, but just not the songs on GMF's "Do Not Play List" (see picture above). Seriously?!... I would think after 40 plus years in the game he'd be comfortable enough with himself and his accomplishments that he wouldn't be fazed by anyone playing anything before him. Like I'm going to steal his thunder or some shit. Whatever. Anyways, I played a pretty sloppy unprepared set of hip hop and disco that wasn't on his list, and half way through my set his entourage of two dudes (there to set up his equipment) came into the dj booth and basically just acted like they had good reason to hate me. Awesome. Finally I was told to finish playing, and while helping to do the switch over these two dudes (who's claim to fame is being Flash's roadies/cousins or whatever) gave me much attitude about breaking down my gear quickly so that Flash could get on. After clearing out the booth for him, they proceeded to play Gangstarr's "Take it Personal" on loop for like twenty minutes while the man of the hour was busy relaxing in his tour bus outside the club and everyone in the club lost interest. Boring. Finally, finally finally, Flash got on the decks and proceeded to rock it pretty much like any frat party I've ever been to (except his scratching was worse and he did a lot more obnoxious yelling at the crowd). I know ten dj's in Shanghai alone who could have played a better set than he did. Dude didn't even mix two records together once. Every transition was him yelling over his baby scratches and then bang, into the next Naughty by Nature song. What a disappointment to find someone who's earlier musical contributions to hip hop were so inspiring is now so washed up, plateaued out, grumpy and simply bad by modern day standards. Did anyone out there hear his latest album? Terrible. This guy has not pushed the envelope at all since the 80's. Meanwhile, here are a few tracks by a few people who continue to rep it (and if I had to guess, would be a lot more fun to hang out with than Mr. Grandmaster).<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://sharebee.com/4a34423d">Afrika B<span class="header12b">ambaataa - Metal (ft.

Miles and I used to rock out to <a href="http://www.discogs.com/artist/Black+Sheep">Black Sheep</a>'s first album in middle school in like 1991, and that's still probably one of my favorite-est ever hip hop albums. I think "The Choice is Yours" was the first song I ever did the freak train to so, obviously, I have a real soft spot in my heart for these guys. They sort of quietly came out with a second album, "Non-Ficiton" three years later that was also great, but slept on, and then released "8WM-Novakane" in 2006 or 07. Also slept on. I wonder what the hell Mr. Lawng and Dres were up to in the 13 years in between albums. Anyways, these guys are like a fine wine, getting more complex and subtle as they age; though nostalgia wins out and I'll always like their first album the best. That said, this is my jam at the moment, gotta play it like 3 or 4 times every time I hear it. So, with out further obnoxious ado, this one's for all you Shorties out there, especially Maile:<br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: lucida grande;font-size:100%;" ><br /></span><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><a style="font-family: lucida grande;" href="http://sharebee.com/c07f504b">Black Sheep - Shorty</a><br /><br /></span><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div></div></div></div>elnomohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13599626796208881824noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2859981166283770230.post-71141382129050242732009-07-15T00:54:00.000-07:002009-07-15T00:58:02.959-07:00Workaround<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_skQSpSg0aqA/Sl2L8WOUPII/AAAAAAAAAnA/AylMt4Tsxfw/s1600-h/the-great-wall-of-china1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 282px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_skQSpSg0aqA/Sl2L8WOUPII/AAAAAAAAAnA/AylMt4Tsxfw/s400/the-great-wall-of-china1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5358593000514796674" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-family:lucida grande;font-size:100%;">So it's been months since I posted here, because I'm in China, and the great fire wall has blocked all blogspot websites.

We organized "Malcontent" on a Tuesday night (worst day of the week ever) in late February at this bar called The Hut, and it sucked. It was cold and rainy and five people showed up. I now realize the fatal flaw in my thinking; a downer party has to be held alone, in your room, preferably in your pajamas, probably drinking or chain smoking cigarettes. So this year I've updated the concept with an Endless Winter mix that can be downloaded alone and listened to in the solitude of your own cold Saturday afternoon. If you're in Shanghai right now, you know what I'm talking about, right? Anyways, here's the mix, recorded in one shot on turntables on a miserably cold dark and rainy Thursday afternoon.<br /><br /></span> <div style="text-align: center;"><a style="font-family: lucida grande;" href="http://sharebee.com/2573088e">elnomo - Endless Winter Mix</a><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_skQSpSg0aqA/SbIzG_28O5I/AAAAAAAAAew/texT43uAP9k/s1600-h/badweather.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 302px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_skQSpSg0aqA/SbIzG_28O5I/AAAAAAAAAew/texT43uAP9k/s400/badweather.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5310363105937341330" border="0" /></a><br /></div>elnomohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13599626796208881824noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2859981166283770230.post-7939136686863230322009-03-04T22:58:00.000-08:002009-03-04T23:07:50.767-08:00More Music<span style="font-family: lucida grande;">My friend Willie told me to post more music on my blog, and honestly, what the hell else do I have to do?

Anna Browne, aka Annita Cumbia Selectah, just rolled into town from her whirlwind tour of the world (Starting out in Buenos Aires, Argentina to Rio and Salvador Brazil, to Paris, India, Hong Kong and currently Shanghai, finally ending up in Tokyo this weekend). Anna holds it down with <a href="http://myspace.com/zzkrecords">ZZK Records</a>, a fantastic label and club night that's based in Buenos Aires and putting out some of the most zany electro-Cumbia madness you've ever heard. She's here to see what Shanghai's got to say about this new movement of bedroom dj's and producers from Buenos Aires and beyond reappropriating old cumbia gems and using their brains, hands and laptops to make hot new dancefloor/club burners. Still not convinced? Here's a little taste:<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://sharebee.com/87833cd6"><span class="header12b">Zonora Point - Huachita Rica (Douster remix)</span></a><br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;">Chino Latino Cuatro<br />Wednesday, Feb. 25th at Shelter (5 Yongfu Lu near Fuxing Xi Lu)<br />20rmb entry, come early for free mix cd's, stickers and flyers from ZZK Records, y'heard?!..<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_skQSpSg0aqA/SaWgW-dhWVI/AAAAAAAAAeA/2XazmMScIno/s1600-h/chinolatino4backweb.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_skQSpSg0aqA/SaWgW-dhWVI/AAAAAAAAAeA/2XazmMScIno/s400/chinolatino4backweb.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5306824052510382418" border="0" /></a><br /></div><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_skQSpSg0aqA/SaLxDu8grCI/AAAAAAAAAdw/gt_l6k_wotU/s1600-h/chinolatino4backweb.jpg"><br /></a></div>elnomohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13599626796208881824noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2859981166283770230.post-53854752065227964042009-02-22T15:39:00.000-08:002009-02-22T15:40:36.715-08:00Good Song, I Think.<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: lucida grande;">Not much to say at the moment, but this has been my jam of the week:<br /><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a style="font-family: lucida grande;" href="http://sharebee.com/75757d04">Supermayer - Hey Hotties!</a><br /></div>elnomohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13599626796208881824noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2859981166283770230.post-23348304598838716772009-02-09T07:23:00.000-08:002009-02-09T07:51:54.485-08:00Daft-er Party<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_skQSpSg0aqA/SZBMc9gP-fI/AAAAAAAAAdI/wCg13dWDsd4/s1600-h/More+Hidden+Print.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_skQSpSg0aqA/SZBMc9gP-fI/AAAAAAAAAdI/wCg13dWDsd4/s400/More+Hidden+Print.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5300820821844949490" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-family:lucida grande;">So the rumor on the street is that Daft Punk will be coming to Shanghai this Friday, but the whole thing is shrouded in mystery... like you have to shell out 500rmb to get a "ticket" which is a bar code on a piece of paper, and then you leave your phone number at the ticket office, and get an sms the day of the event telling you where they'll actually be playing. (This whole media hijnk is also especially rad for us Bananas kids, because we're doing our once-every-few-months party the same night, and guess who are target crowd is?... Pretty much the sort of people who are going to lose their shit about Daft Punk being in China for the first time ever... lucky us!)<br /><br />Anyways, at Bananas we like French electro-house as much as the next hipster... so come join us after you've had your mind blown by probably the best/biggest electronic music act in the world.</span> <span style="font-family:lucida grande;">Venue kept secret until you look at the flyer. To buy tickets, go to the door of the Shelter and pay 30rmb... The door guy will show you the secret cave entrance to get to the party. Once you are inside the venue, you will not be able to send or receive any sms, so all further secret communication will have to be done by talking to people and gesturing through dance moves.</span> <span style="font-family:lucida grande;">Maybe it will be the guys from Bananas playing, maybe it will just be two french musical geniuses in robot masks... only one way to find out: show up!<br /><br /></span><div style="text-align: center;"><a style="font-family: lucida grande;" href="http://sharebee.com/38535c78">Daft Punk - Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger (JoolsMF Bandwagon Remix)</a><br /></div><span style="font-family:lucida grande;"><br />p.s. This is an UNOFFICIAL (d)after party, to the party that no one in the city can confirm is real or not, but that doesn't mean it won't be totally rad... it will be.

Don't get it? Then consider yourself lucky that you don't spend as much time as I do in front of a computer uploading crap onto the world wide web. Anyways, sharebee, it's my new shit. And here's the proof, another gem from the Santo Chino crates:<br /><div style="text-align: center;"> <a href="http://sharebee.com/d7ec3bba">The Invaders - Latin Lips</a><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><br />If you're confused, you have to click on one of the links (zshare, rapidshare, megaupload, etc...) to download from that sight.

He's decided to take a two month bike and train adventure around southeast Asia (this, after a solo motorcycle trip across China two years ago), leaving me in Shanghai, insanely jealous, but also happy to earn a few extra duckets covering his regular Friday gig at Glamour Bar. Right before leaving dude came by and gave me some music that he likes to play so the dj transition would be relatively seamless... and he totally sonned me on what it means to dig! Jeez, while I'm out looking for common denominator jams to get cash a paycheck with, he swears he's "not a party dj" and is quietly finding some of the weirdest and coolest shit I've ever heard and reminding me that pandering to the masses sucks. Can't really do justice to this guy's taste in music in a few quick links, but I wanted to share a few of the ones he gave me that I found to be most brain numbing-ly rad.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.zshare.net/audio/552312336ba1d028/">The Revenge - Night Flight</a><br />(stick with this one... it's a slow burner that get's interesting around minute 5)<br /><br /><a href="http://www.zshare.net/audio/552317888ee4ebb7/">Lunar Jam - Over and Over</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.zshare.net/audio/55232927ea5692f2/#">Quince - Genetrix</a><br /></div>elnomohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13599626796208881824noreply@blogger.com0
