doesn't percee p have a record coming out on stone's throw?
http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51F1KT7FzHL._AA280_.jpg
it's out now ..... I like it. madlib keeps it pretty simple on the production, just basic james brown type loops, and keyboards that have that 8-bit squashed through an SP sound
new version of Put It On the Line kinda sucks though, the 12-inch is way better

the koushik stones throw podcast is pretty lush... i think he has an album out later this year, and i love his work: splicing late 80s hip-hop sounds to late 60s harmony-heavy psychedelia, like Madlib if all he was sampling from was countless different versions of the soundtrack to Hair.

I plan to listen to his album in the next hour. I got it in the post yesterday and thought, wtf is this doing on Stones Throw - that said the press release makes it sound like more of a Panda Bear type thing so I dunno.
Stones Throw are also doing an anthology thing of Arabian Prince which I'm trying to snag a promo of at the mo, it sounds really good

― and what, Friday, 18 July 2008 13:19 (fifteen years ago) link
i'm guessing he's on Stones Throw cause he knows Peanut Butter Wolf. that Percee P album has some great moments, but it's a lil too much to take all in one sitting. Which is how I expected a Percee album to be.
i really like a couple Koushik tracks, didn't notice he did a podcast. it's of his songs?

his remixes of hip-hop tracks... is very good.
mancap - rocketscience are promoing the arabian prince, it is awes, we were playing it incessantly in plan b offices last week. who is doing koushik???
― stevie, Friday, 18 July 2008 13:37 (fifteen years ago) link
In House Press. They've sent it almost three months early. Weird.
Based on the first few tracks of this album I could see this blowing up by the end of the year
― DJ Mencap, Friday, 18 July 2008 13:44 (fifteen years ago) link
i shall seek it out - i can totally see koushik crossing over; i love his stuff.
does anybody have the stones throw 2005 sampler? anyone know who the nameless (presumably 70s/80s) funk artist who mumbles drunkenly for ages after the 'strange games' remix is? it's like some funk blooper or something, but i have, of occasion, become obsessed with this weird vignette.
― stevie, Friday, 18 July 2008 16:24 (fifteen years ago) link
koushik's album is the best thing stonesthrow released there I said it

in all seriousness it was kind of surprising to me that the first album didn't blow up cuz of all the mbv shit it's mired in, but now that the dude has a respectable and semi-overlooked album out, this new one will probably be huge
― uh oh I'm having a fantasy, Friday, 18 July 2008 17:12 (fifteen years ago) link
Koushik's prior disc(s) or his forthcoming disc?

since you nerds are jocking koushik can i recommend this

there is a lot of bad "post-graffiti" coffeshop art in the liners (and some OK pieces too) but the music is *almost* (not quite) uniformly great.

i bought the album on warp when it came out and listened to it nonstop for like three days, but then i put it away and haven't dug it out again. so yes, i do, but i'm not flying lotus superfan or anything like that. i think maybe because i already do listen to a lot of straight-up electronic music - and i got into rap etc. via electronic music - i'm not as committed to the jay dee sound as i might be otherwise. but i really do like madlib's productions a whole lot (to the point where i am buying his "mind fusion" mixtapes and stuff like dudley perkins) and i like flying lotus best when he's sort of straddling the two sounds.
― moonship journey to baja, Friday, 18 July 2008 19:34 (fifteen years ago) link
rather than his earlier plug research stuff where he just sounds like, i dunno, push button objects or something.
― moonship journey to baja, Friday, 18 July 2008 19:35 (fifteen years ago) link
i shouldn't say that, this is still the jam, particularly "maercs", "pboory" and "chewbacca on crack"

yeah I understand this. I don't even listen to that much electronic music, and I like his shit when I hear it, but I rarely ever feel the need to listen to it when I have to make a choice. I used to buy everything with madlib's name on it no matter what and stopped about last year. Daedelus is the one guy out of the three who I still want to listen to a lot.

I WISH I READ THAT POST BEFORE I LISTENED TO MADLIB'S STEVIE WONDER TRIBUTES
ha, i like his stevie wonder tributes! one of them is on the playlist for my wedding ("golden lady").
― moonship journey to baja, Friday, 18 July 2008 19:50 (fifteen years ago) link
I thought most of the ones on the album were pretty zzz but it's been a while since I heard it. The stevie wonder tribute I like the most is the beat for Great Day. Also, my favorite color is blue.

is there any reason to recommend this "james pants" thing?
― moonship journey to baja, Tuesday, 7 October 2008 04:58 (fifteen years ago) link
yes, the james pants lp is solid ... different but not too quirky, old school sounding yet fresh, plays with different genres yet flows really well ... a great record. his rhythm trax stuff is good too. it's basically him coming up with a follow-up to the original jive rhythm trax series.
The new electro-funk direction Stones Throw is taking is sounding good to my ears ... James Pants, Dam Funk, the Arabian Prince comp ... and hopefully more to come in that vein.
