mad decent worldwide radio #12 - the land of milk and honey with james brown Jul 15, 2008

Show notes

james brown died on christmas, and I couldnít do any more podcasts til we did it about him.cause james brown gave birth to this podcast and he gave birth to everything in modern music - nothing is the same after he was here and now heís gone and I feel bad for people in heaven that have to rewind through his life cause it must be pretty damn nuts. This mix of JB songs and production credits is under 30 minutes and I thought I was listenin to it for 3 days before it ended.Mix was done by cosmo baker.. heís a true hero to me.i used to go to fluid on monday nights to check cosmo at his party called remedy.. it was on fuckin monday nights and it was packed thick and cosmo would drop his signature style of hip hop and classics and wierd stuff no one would expect but would turn it out.. i recognized cosmo as that dude from the on the go video that was in 9th st records and bought funk inc and mccoy tyner lps for like a dollar (that was crazy staged cause I know that dude behind the counter was mad cheap!) .. at the remedy I saw everyone form phil the soulman to cash money to mf doom to Dj drama up in there playing... i even slipped pharell a copy of newsflash on 12î on a monday so JB gave birth to everything in modern music then cosmo was a dude that gave birth to djs like me. I had to ask him to do this mix cause he was a more then a mentor .. his james brown science is like mr wizard... as you can listenthees days cosmo is killing it as a member the RUB in BK and doing loads of parties from calgary to tel aviv on the weekends so i suggest you go to see him play or you will lose a little bit of your soulhttp://www.myspace.com/cosmobakerwww.itstherub.comhttp://www.cosmobaker.com/Apollo IntroPeople Get Up And Drive Your Funky SoulThe BossHot Hot Hot (I Need To Be Loved)Just Enough Room For StorageMessage To The Soul Sisters (Marva Whitney)Take Some Leave SomeSoul man (Sweet Charles)Pass The Peas (The JBs)Mr. Hot Pants AKA Cross The Tracks Pt. 2 (The Believers)Talking Loud & Sayin' NothingBlues & PantsYou Can Have Your Watergate Just Gimme Some Bucks & I'll Be StraightDon't Tell ItBlind Man Can't See It (Unreleased alternate version)If You Don't Love Me You Don't Respect Me (Lyn Collins)Funky PresidentColdbloodedHonkey Tonk Popcorn (Bill Doggett)More Peas (The JBs)Can I Get Some HelpHot Pants Road (The JBs)I Got Ants In My Pants And I Need To DanceAin't It Funky Pt. 1Don't Do Drugs Public Service Announcement (Bobby Byrd)I Don't Want Nobody To Give Me Nothin'I Want To Be In The Land Of Milk & Honey (Marva Whitney)

mad decent worldwide radio #11 - it began in africa... Jul 15, 2008

Show notes

then came back and got mad weird (kuduro) whats really boa..i met a bunch of angolan dudes under the lapa arches in Rio in 2005, they were studyin from luanda and had on crazy red black fist and sickle soccer jerseys (the angolan colors) but instead of some sort of soccer ball images it was just a black fist and a turntable and said kuduristas... i didnt even ask what the f**k that meant but I tried to buy the shirt and they almost beat me up.angolans in brazil have a fast forward 1 and a half years and im in Lisbon djing a festival with my man dj marlboro from RIo and Buraka som systema (the local heros) .. i tell you , it was pretty bad for me... BSS took the stage and had the whole crowd had reached some type of higher state of conciousness and massive attack (playin on the main stage) asked the promotors to shut our tent down (shook ones!).. so 2 hours late - marlboro equally tore it up and then finally I had to go on in the postponed 5am slot! wtf.. my flight was at 7:30... was kinda wack .. i think hot chip had to wake me up at the airport cause kids were stealing my luggage. ..But at the BSS show i swear it was the first time I recorded like 15 minutes of video with my cellphone and even after it died I sat there and still tried to record with it sittin the air.. this sound was a monster and it got every Portugese kid in the crowd on their knees then hoppin up and down and i was even proud to be Angolan! I met Petty (lead singer of BSS) and she was wearing havianas with the brasillian flag substituyed with the angolan flag.. a kinda of symbol of how self realized the music is....shout out to my melhor homies, Kalaf, Lil Joao, and Conduter for showing me around lisbon, breaking down the kuduro and makin a crazy MAD ILL silLY remix for bonde do role thats out next month...... and I see you egg foo (holiday mix comin up next)

mad decent worldwide radio #10 - from the bronx river housing projects to the rest of the galaxy Jul 15, 2008

Show notes

Zulu nation celebrates its 26th anniversary this week, me and zulu nation... weíre both scorpios, nearly the same age. Bronx in 1981... what the f**k was goin on here..?!?!?A subculture that redefined world culture .. imploded in the poorest parts of New York city.. heres a lil peek into the wierd world of this scene..WHBI, NEWARK, 105.?.....Afrika Islam is known as the son of Bambaataa, not for real but he followed the legacy and he held it down on the air in Newark radio at 1 am wednesday nights.. (where this mix is from).. its rough cut from cassette tape - eclectic unknown breaks, funk, electronic, rock music chopped together .. like a random symphony for kids of hi energy.. its almost spooky to hear just the bare essentials of what we mastered as producers today.. breakbeats, sparse vocals, or horns or guitars chopped in and out.. this is what we deal with today but back then kids just made it all live with a lot of random records they studied.Islam was a staple party dj in early 80ís in nyc.. one of the dudes to really cross over with the down town scene and still stay street and shout out all the gangs in harlem and brooklyn.. he then went on to produce most of Ice Tís first record in LA. then like most zulu dudes had to like move to germany when hip hop went crazy with puffy and stuff.. The first time I heard ìits just begunì by jimmy castor was at a warehouse in Tennessee when i was like 15. These kids would bring boomboxes and breakdance on the marble floor. It was the second wave of hip hop culture that went through the midwest mostly on freight trains covered in spray paint, and raves... but we had as much passion as the first b boys.. just mad late- actually I think by then early nineties like Germans and Lithuanians were winning all the breakdance contests anyway.. but that whole s**t changed my life. When i heard the Jimmy castor song and saw kids dancing to it i thought it really did mean something... like the revolution was about to begin.maybe it did. I started painting on the trailors parked on the 2 lane highway by house when the were building mattress barns and new Shoneyís diners.. I know now how wack mini malls are, But white trailors, trains, mud and fences at night was like all i day dreamed about in the day besides this girl that worked at the donut shop.. so maybe I was part of a revolution?If you want to read up on ZULUDavey D pretty much broke it down herehttp://www.daveyd.com/zulunationhistory.html...its pretty mindblowing how big this s**t is and what it really means..i mean damn,to say ì if people focused energy on creativity instead of crimeî sounds like something Nancy Reagan would say... but thats exactly what happened and it turned out to redefine the world.. I always say that i do what i do cause of bambaataa and ZULU.. but its really true.

mad decent worldwide radio # 8 - back in the day (in the favela) Jul 14, 2008

Show notes

Pitbull sound is one of the premier funk carioca dj crews in Rio..up there with Big mix, furacao 2000, Pipos... and even Soul grand prix way back when they played soul still at baile funks .. Sany played a party I put together in Prazeres.. its a favela high up near corcovado (where the big jesus from micheal jacksons video stays at!) its probably the highest favela in all of Brazil. If you know my podcast ,, you probably know the drill with Brazillian funk music..The sounds range from vocal melody, syncopated portugese rhymes.. 5 or 6 extremely overused Samples (pavorati organ hits, rocky theme (chopped to hell), old school miami bass vocal stabs, Dire straghts ìbrother at armsî shows up all the time, Euro techno samples.. and most importantly samba drums (tamberzao, batidao) patterned in an electro rhythm...melody is missing, and repetition is the key.. Dj style is similliar to a dancehall sound in Jamaica.. lyrics are blended by many artists over the same rhythm.. the tempo never changes..... the sound is kinda blowing up worldwide.. But it started somewhere... (that what this special edition is about!) miami bass gave birth to this strange baby in brazil, And the Djís ruled the streets, and built the culture between freestyle, bass, house music and samba in the early 90ís Sany did a special mix for mad decent to launch his own carioca funk clube website and podcast ... YOU never hear carioca Djs put it down like this .. Sany had to dig out his actual turntables for this! they stay on the cdj 100 down there!ITS rio funk party sound track circa 1990.. the first time kids were rapping in portugese over the funk beats.... he puts it out there .. the classics (you got to start with SPRING LOVE!) The musical history told here reflects the first phase of funk, turning from the international influences to a brazilian party, from a inside DJ point of view (don't expect sweet famous standarts, but the rare original dirty PARTY BOOSTERS that made the trick from gringo to ghetto) you can still catch Sany in Rio 5 nights a week in the clubs and favela bailes. http://pitti.podomatic.com / ITS CRAZY††http://www.myspace.com/djsanypitbull††for RIO parties and European dates01-various - megamix gringo oldskool,02-various - brazilian oldskool medley,03-sampa crew - melÙ da professora,04-carlos alberto e adilson ribeiro - melÙ do coelhinho,05-2live crew/abdulah - melÙ da mulher feia,06-bardeux/willian e duda - rap da morena,07-disco rick - funk mama,08-danda e tafarel - rap do festival,09-marlboro medley (tamborz„o remix)Thanks Sany and Pitti....Angola expats next.....

Show notes

hey hey . mad podcasts coming up..sorry for the delay.. but got my laptop jacked in sao pualo by varig airlines ... and since france whooped their asses in world cup , I thought id go there to see whatís good. and it turns out to be a lot of stuff.

mad decent worldwide radio # 5 - new orleans aint dead, its just got a limp Jul 14, 2008

Show notes

Theres not place in America more strange than New Orleans, Louisiana, If it was mad before the storm but now its just plane insane.. but in a good way. if you travel here from the outside, its gonna seem like whole nother country.And as far as music goes (in case you didnt know) . . the mississippi delta is the birthplace of most types of modern american music. Hip hop mighta been born in the bronx, but then it was reinvented in New Orleans.. the krunk we get today playlisted all over the country might have Atlanta in a headlock, but the blueprint was laid out in New Orleans.. Its origins are in bounce music and its still there; its actually having a rejuvenation since there little more to look forward to besides dancing these days.anyway i never felt more affection for an city like I got it for new orleans, and even though some parts still looks like a nuclear bomb got dropped, its got all the character that you can expect with a city so rich in culture and historypartners in crime - block partyda sha ra - bootin updj jubilee - monkey on the sticktriggerman - drag rapchris gotti - cut it up5th ward weebie - f**k katrinamary j blige - without you (new orleans remix)toni braxton - please (remix)tpain - im in love with a stripper (remix)dj jimmy - where they at girlhot boy ronald - walk like ronaldrebirth brass band ft souljah slim - you dont want to go to war
