This
is the further adventure of Lord Quas...if you see this man, don't
fear, he isn't dangerous, just extremely cerebral, quirky, and
skilled. He may appear playful at first, but he means business.
Don't try to contain him, just buy a CD or two and let him be
on his way. Oh yeah, make sure to ask him if he has anymore of
his hip-hop and jazz mix CDs...
If you think this review is a mind twister, try listening to Quasimoto's
new full length The Further Adventures of Lord Quas, then attempt
to explain it to someone. It is his most ambitious, challenging,
out there, and enjoyable work to date. Weirder than anything you
could have dreamt of and I love it.
DJ Center – Feel What I’m Feelin’
DJ Center is one third of the Rootdown NYC Soundsystem, and was
instrumental in bringing the legendary long-playing Los Angeles
party to New York. Alongside residencies in New York City, Center
often guests in California and has toured Europe, Australia, and
New Zealand, in support of last year's “Force of Life”
12” release (with former group Open Thought) on Wide Hive
Records. In addition to his own nights, Center has been found
spreading his soulful palate alongside notable DJs Bobbito, Spinna,
Rob Swift, Qool Marv, J-Boogie, Numark, Large Professor, Pete
Rock, and Grandmaster Flash, among others.
Feel What I’m Feelin’ marks the new CD release that
marries the facets of Hip Hop, Soul, and Jazz into a double-disc
mix.
Disc one (HipHopSoul Side), features exclusives from Pharoahe
Monch & SA-RA, Raheem DeVaughn, The Last Poets, and remixes
from the likes of 4Hero & YamWho, on Dj Krush’s “Meiso”
(featuring Black Thought & Malik B of the Roots), and John
Legend’s “Used to Love U”, respectively. Also
in the mix, Center unearths slept-on b-sides like Digable Planet’s
“Dedicated” and Q-Tip’s “Money Maker”.
