“This makes the whole cassette feel like it’s two things at once,
but when they’re blended together it works.” – Raised by Cassettes
Raised by Cassettes has provided the first long-style review of Pasquale’s mash up album Chadiohead 2. As usual, the review also features a great gallery of photos of the cassette.
Max Moon was recently interview by Illuminati2G. Check it out here:
The first single from Cold Camp’s upcoming sophomore album, Winter Dreamz, is out now!
The first single from Calgary crew Cold Camp’s upcoming sophomore album, Winter Dreamz, moves with weight and clarity in a steady build that crashes down with purpose. The Dirty Sample’s chime-filled beat for “Avalanche” feels hypnotic, almost serene, until the rhythm hits and everything shifts. His remix switches out his original production for a gritty, off-kilter NYC gutter beat. On the mic, Chaka Boy and Bully Bravo are confident, composed, and unshakable. This Cold Camp anthem highlights momentum, pressure, and power in motion.
Written and performed by Chaka Boy and Bully Bravo
Produced and Remixed by The Dirty Sample

The newest volume in the Chadiohead series… Only available on Bandcamp and select stores!
Chadiohead 2 is the second iteration in Kamloops beat maker Pasquale’s Chadiohead trilogy. This mashup project takes the vocals from Chadio’s 2007 album Underestimated Raindrops and repurposes them over cheeky remixes produced by Pasquale using Radiohead samples. The Chadiohead series is a fun nod to his favourite band that is not to be taken too seriously, resulting in a very different take on the original songs.

Proteus and Black Art Ninja release a variety of versions of their newest album, Hey Motherfucker…
Proteus and Black Art Ninja once again demonstrate their chemistry in their latest collaboration as the former delivers a dense barrage of b-boy braggadocio alongside references to nerd-culture, black magic, hip hop, and lots and lots of hentai over the latter’s heavy 808 drums and crunchy electronic production, a soundscape that would certainly suit the otherworldly raps of Kool Keith. Hey Motherfucker is available in three different versions: a shorter, clean edit affectionally entitled Hey Motherfunker that is suitable for radio play and proper public consumption, BAN’s remix of the vocals creating a collection of songs distinctly different from those on the explicit extended edition, which is how the album was originally intended for play; and then a cassette version provides even more music with the addition of a number of bonus songs, including three exclusive to the tape only. Pick your level of difficulty and explore this warped world envisioned by Proteus x Black Art Ninja.
