OCTOBER 2010: New Pigeon John Album + DJ Shadow live interview
Quannum Projects is set to release Pigeon John's new album Dragon Slayer on October 12, 2010, the follow up to critically acclaimed "Pigeon John...And The Summertime Pool Party".  Dragon Slayer houses the signature Pigeon John humor and smarts but with a whole new sound. With the aid of General Elektriks' Hervé Salters, he produced the whole record, including, for the first time, recording and chopping up his own instrumentation rather than just flipping samples and banging on an MPC.   Keep checking this space for more info on that. For now, check out: ALSO: We are beyond thrilled to announce that Jim Carroll (The Irish Times, OTR) will be conducting a very special interview with DJ SHADOW on Friday 1st of October at 5PM (Dublin TIme) before he takes the stage at Tripod that evening for his amazing live show.

The interview will range from ‘cut & paste’ music style, his collaborations with photographers, designers and film makers like Ben Drury, Will Bankhead, Paul Insect, B+, Marc Singer and Kar Wai Wong to his new visual rich live stage show.

FROM THE ARCHIVES: DJ Shadow interview about Hollywood Basic and the start of his career
Back in the early Nineties there was this hip-hop / rap label called "Hollywood Basic" helmed by the A&R genius that was Dave ‘Funken’ Klein. The label has  become famous as the launchpad for the careers of Organized Konfusion and DJ Shadow.  And here it comes: Fatlace Magazine dug deep in the archives and brought us a previously unheard interview with DJ Shadow from The All City Show. DJ Shadow is talking about his "Hollywood Basic / Zimbabwe Legit" megamix and how Hollywood Basic gave Shadow his first job offer: Once again, many thanks to the people at the solesides messageboards for this find.

FREE MP3 DOWNLOAD: Cut Chemist - Disco Is Dead (1973-1979)
Even with the brand new release of Cut Chemist‘s Sound Of The Police, he has come out with an all new morsel of audio goodness, this time touching on the sounds of disco. It seems with each passing generation, more are appreciating disco for what it was or is, since its spirit still lives on in a good amount of today’s dance sounds. Cut Chemist goes exploring in this mix which you can find by clicking to Cinespia.com.  We also highly recommend the mixes by Dante Carfagna, Dâm-Funk and Peanut Butter Wolf, Carlos Niño and Nobody, although each of the mixes on the page are free, so no excuse but to download, listen, and enjoy.  DIRECT DOWNLOAD: thanks to John Book for this news entry
