Happy New Decade!!

Thru You

Let's say u could spend a few months (3 for example) doing anything u like.. Anything!
And let's also say u like to play music.
U also have a computer, an internet connection and access to any software u could possibly ask for..

What would be the outcome??
Would it be anything like this???






An Israeli artist by the name of Kutiman spent 3 months making an album consisting of 7 tracks, all of them mixed exclusively by video samples from YouTube videos.
The project is called "Thru You" and was released on early March. There was an immediate response on the internet. The views of the videos in YouTube have reached 6 digit numbers and still counting.
All the songs are available on the project's website

Before we prepare another mix for scgoneam, we will make sure we eat as much hummus as possible and see what happens..

Daptone Studios Robbed: WTF?

19 02 2009

In the ultimate in Douchebaggery, cowardness, and bullshit, I’m saddened to hear that the little label that could, Daptone Records Studio was robbed. I hope whoever did it gets caught, gets the shit beaten out of them, and then handed over to the Police. People really amaze the fuck out of me sometimes.

From Daptone Records:

Friends and associates,

As you may have heard through the grapevine by now, Daptone was broken into last night. Unfortunately, there was a lot of equipment (mics, pre-amps, monitors, turntables, guitars, amps, computers, etc.) stolen and damaged. It is going to take us a while to go through everything and take full stock of what was stolen, and we are not supposed to touch anything until the cops come back to collect fingerprints so we can only guess what’s missing from some mic drawers and cabinets.
And, no, we did not have insurance. We had been shopping around with different companies earlier this month but had not signed a check, so nothing was insured. We are working on replacing the gate in front, installing an alarm system, and getting insurance, but it is President’s day so it’s not going as quickly as we would have liked.
Nydia’s computer was stolen (which wasn’t backed up) and the modems/ phone system was ripped out, so we’ll be relatively out of commission for a few days.

I would like to ask for everyone’s help first in keeping an eye out for all of our stuff showing up on ebay/craigslist/local music shops, and secondly (and more realistically) keeping an eye out for good deals on headphones, mics, pre-amps, etc. I could really use a heads up on any kind of studio package for sale or studio equipment to be possibly bought or borrowed as soon as possible. We have a session scheduled for Friday to lay down some music for (I know this sounds
surreal) Rod Stewart, and I’m going to have to get the studio running by then. I know I’m going to need to find headphones, cables, mics, and pre-amps by then. I’m not sure what else yet.

Upon first glance we are definitely missing:
Fender Super Guitar Amp in case
Fender Deluxe Guitar Amp
A whole bunch of headphones and wires
Nydia’s HP laptop computer
One Desktop MacIntosh Computer
One Purple Audio API style lunchbox with four Purple Audio Biz mic pre-amps
2 Yamaha NS10 monitors
Vintage Harmony Rocket Guitar
One steel string acoustic guitar
Martin Tenor sax in a gig bag
Technics 1200 turntable
Ion USB turntable
Teac Receiver/stereo amp
Sony dual deck CD burner/player
All of our modem/phone system stuff was ripped out and taken.
A whole bunch of condensor and dynamic microphones (I still need to figure out exactly what’s missing) The power supply for my Trident console was tossed and the board was moved (probably not gently) so the status of that is still questionable.
A baldwin organ was tossed and is probably broken.
Lacie External hard drive

Over the next few days, as we sort out the rubble, we are going to figure out what else we lost.

We are putting in a roll down front gate, alarm system, and finally getting our insurance happening this week. We are also going to hire a security guard to watch the house for tonight as the cops and alarm guy seemed pretty confident that they will be back with a truck now that they’ve seen what’s in here.

Thanks for keeping eyes open for us. AND PLEASE PASS THIS MESSAGE ALONG TO ANYONE YOU THINK MIGHT BE ABLE TO HELP US.

Thankfully, we all still have our health, ambition, tape machines, and sense of humor in tact. You can slow us down, but you can’t stop us. Sleep well knowing we here at Daptone will continue to…

Keep putting Soul up,

Gabriel Roth

P.S. On a lighter note, it seems like the burglars did drop a few items in order to lift Alex’s old safe out of here, which was VERY heavy, VERY unwieldy, and also VERY EMPTY!

If you hear anything, pass it on to Daptone. Keep Diggin’!

Boob talk

A lot of action has been taken the past years against breast cancer, especially by well known artists..

So did Katy Perry, by putting them on a mould and "duplicating" them on plaster.

The funny thing is that there was a guy that paid $3500 to purchase the replica!!

Dear god...!!! How stupid can someone be?!!??

I'm jealous though.. 

A friend once said she didn't want me close to a certain girl's room, so i wouldn't try to smell her underwear. I would never do that!

Only if it was for Katy Perry.. In that case i would even smell things made of plaster..

Somebody help me!!! 

It seems that Beelzeboob.. sorry... Beelzebub has conquered me. I can't help it!

(this is a completely useless post, that was only powered by my hormones. and Beelzeboob! Katy, if u're reading this, i assure u i'm not as desperate and perverted as i seem)

Transmission From London

yO! yO! yO!

I know it's been a while, but some problems with the "killing coffee drops" kept me away from my laptop. You should also add my laziness and there you got it!

Anywayz, AdMad came for a visit last week. Good timezz..

At this moment, AdMad is probably still on the plain back to Greece.

After a week of beer drinking and music listening, we are proud to present our first mix!!

We dug deep into London's record shops, bought some vinyl and finally today we mixed them.

Something like a little musical diary..

enjoy: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=6INWDADV
