About Me

pitch mechanic (as in.. change the... up)

what more can i say?... it all started with my dad's 60s and 70s rock and soul records and my grandparents' jazz albums (god rest their souls), then hip hop! then house/techno/drum and bass... what doesn't influence me? 70s child through and through..

and the beats you hearing now, as always, are provided by beat transfer service.

Music:

so i like soul. house, hip hop, drum and bass, jazz, wherever it lays its beautiful soulful hat. the sound that can wake you up. the sound that can lift you up. the sound that soothes all the stress away. so when i say rock 'n roll to soul, i'm really getting at a particular type of sound. can you feel it? afra behn, public enemy, jimi hendrix, harry nilsson, nirvana, schoolly d, brassmunk, o.d.b., freddie foxx, jneiro, future of yesterday, count bass d, madlib, quasimoto, jay dee he's jdilla, tigarah, tony p, m.i.a., the police, mos def, biggie, run dmc, pharcyde, chuck chillout, james brown, ambassador satch, larry heard, jamiroquai, the beatles, black rock & ron, photek, alpha omega, paradox, seba, blaze, bob sinclar, pansoul, the countless 12" in my collection you'll never recognize the name of (but perhaps you have heard of them? i don't tell because there is no point to showboating, only to say there's alot more here then mass production) voodoo ray. .
