Ok, that's it - I'm trying out this #Bandcamp thing as well.

I used to make Hip Hop in the last millenium, now I mostly make stuff with synths, so here's my first go at combining both.

Turns out one can bitch about the state of #Microsoft and #BigTech in 1999 and still be kind of relevant in 2023 (IMHO) :thinking:

Grab yourself this CC BY-NC-SA licensed track for nowt if you're so inclined.

It's time find out what the MCs on that tune are up to now(ish).

Let's start with Skuff and this Gil Scott-Heron-inspired banger, which by now is also a bit of a trip down digital memory lane:

Skuff - The Revolution Will Not Be Online (2010)

You can find it on his free Deep Covers Project album on Bandcamp, together with his more recent stuff.

In case you're curious about the original, I just dug out an old MP3.

At the time I just got my first PC, running #Windows98 and the brand new Cubase VST, so I finally could do digital audio recordings that were editable (before then I just had an Atari ST running C-Lab Notator and everything was MIDI).

These were my first steps making Hip-Hop and I didn't know how to chop audio the track just sampled a couple of bars of Stevie Wonder's "Have A Talk With God".

Few days late but just in time for your Friday drinks and weekend: the STASIS November Mixtape with tracks releases in 2022. #stasis #music #popculture #drumandbass #indiepop #jungle #ukhiphop #hiphop https://www.mixcloud.com/theoploeg/stasis-mixtape-november-edition-2022/

So after a mere 32 years to get the track ID, I got this in the post today!

I already knew the group fairly well and have a couple of other 12"s from them.

This appears to be on a promo only. Thanks to #WrongTom for the info.

#CashCrew #Hump #UKHipHop #ProtoDnB #1990

Pre #Jungle music there was this wicked period where #UKHipHop acts experimented with uptempo instrumentals. Ragga Twins, Shut Up and Dance, Rebel MC, Geneside II, Deighton Task Force, Shades of Rhythm to name a few.

Anyway, I always loved Cash Crew, I have Amo on 12" but never new they did this. I had this on cassette that was huge for me as a kid. 32 years later someone linked it elsewhere. BOOM!!!

So happy to have an ID of this, thought I'd never know.
