Back in 1996 I was bugging on music culture, DJ Shadow, Hip Hop, and booking shows at the university I attended: The Roots, Brainiac, Morphine, Digable Planets, Spore, J Mascis (when he was solo), John Cale. Music was very good to me at this time...the gateway to what my friend Felix and I would dub "The Nine Seven Style" aka "The 1997 Style" or the strange way music was moving in every direction or no direction; toward the cesspool of 2000.
This summer I bought a $17 tape deck boom box to enjoi the box of cassette tapes I have; rooftop style. I still have a Roc Raida / XMEN tape in there for sure. Not a lick of the Nine Seven on that man at all. Check the 1994 classic year air-check tape on Funkmaster Flex over at OB4ZL

JEFFREY OSBORNE
Some time back I got hooked music by an artist named OSBORNE.
Everything sounds crisp and gorgeous. Next generation digital R&B. Even the cover art screams "DEEP".
The sound, mystique, and name made me think of Jeffrey Osborne.
But its really all about this cat:
I really like the feel of this short video.
I recently saw another really great short film at the WARP20 showcase - PAPERBOY: produced (or commissioned) by Jack Spade, Directed by Mike Mills

MIAMI VICEROY
Been a busy summer as compared to last year - which was full of heckticity.
Work's been keeping me busy and the personal projects never end.
And the distractions! Good distractions are hard to ignore. Summer NYC always offers loads of free things to see and do. The inspiration runs on blast like an open fire hydrant in Bushwick.
For example - a possible project in the near future: A new band; Miami Viceroy.
The look and sound is a little like this:
Last weekend I caught another set by the man, the myth, the legend DAM FUNK.
What's that?; Dude's doing a set down the street at Trophy Bar with other music luminaries? I'm there! DAM FUNK brings the heat - he played jamns I feel like I grew up with but never heard before. He also does live vocals over his original hits.
Peep more pics and video over at the Trophy Blogue - Brooklyn's most low-profile spot to see high-profile music.
