Descry - Experiences in Full Duplex


Descry
Experiences In Full Duplex: Episodes
[2006, no label]



In 2005, I collaborated with Swamburger from the Sol.illaquists of Sound (if you're not familiar, check them out here: Epitaph Site and Solilla Site). It was my 2nd year into production, and I was extremely excited to work with such an incredible MC.

At the time of the release, music was going through a transition phase. Hip-hop was starting to see a return to form through Common's "BE," and other incredible albums were released that year such as the self titled Clap Your Hand Say Yeah LP, Sufjan Steven's "Illinois," Bloc Party's "Silent Alarm," and the proper revealing of John Coltrane and Thelonious Monk's live performance at Carnegie Hall.

Thinking about it, 2005 was a great year for music.

In any case, check out the tracks which saw a limited release of 200 copies.

Artwork was helmed by David Chun

Music

I'm sorry folks, I've been MIA for quite a while...alot has happened since.


In mid October 20080, my garage was set ablaze by the Porter Ranch Fires. It's about mid April 2009 I still have yet to move back into my home....


No worries though, God is good and He is sovereign so I don't stay up worrying.


Since my departure, I've made sporadic posts here and there and can definitely say that I can now devote a chunk of time back into the blog. I'll start doing audio equipment reviews and the like.


In the meantime, there's a great deal of music released by artists that I respect. I won't post links because there are loads of blogs that can supply you with the needed information (ala 2dopeboyz.com).

The first being U-N-I. Their debut album entitled "A Love Supreme" is heralded everywhere from Okayplayer to XXL and boy what a release this is. Production completely handled by Ro BLVD, these cats (Thurzday and Y-O) definitely have a bright future ahead.

The next is Outasight's "From Here to There." Outasight delivers my favorite mixtape so far in 2009 and is one of the artists I'm watching out for when the summer hits.


Third, we've got Cook Classic's "The New Classics." The homie Cook delivers some heavy hitters with this Vimby collaboration. This is one of those albums you can play it on repeat and discover something new every time.


Lastly, Print - Comic Book: Unlimited. This is THE BEST concept album to date this year. It features an awesome lineup of all stars and is based upon every 80's/90's kid's dreams...comic books. This is one you don't want to miss.


More to come...

Jazz Liberatorz


Yeap, you have no idea about these cats. They're three French beatmakers (DJ Dusty/DJDamage/Madhi) that are bringing back jazzy hip-hop! With the rise of French Indie-Disco (the Ed Banger crew to be exact), the French have proven that they can make music to move crowds.

The Jazz Liberatorz have just released their debut album entitled "Clin d'oeil." It features a plethora of really great American hip-hop artists ...Buckshot (Black Moon), Sadat-X (Bran Nubian), Tre-Hardson (ex-Pharcyde), Stacy Epps, T-Coil, Tableek (Maspyke), Fat Lip (ex-Pharcyde), J-Sands, Lizz Fields, Raashan Ahmad (Crown City Rockers), Apani B Fly, J-Sands (Lone Catalysts), and J-Live. Not to mention live instrumentation from some of France's finest jazz musicians.

This is definitely something you DON'T want to sleep on if you're a fan of jazz and "golden era" hip-hop.
