Timeless comes to Harlem!!

Saturday, August 28th, 2010

Tools of War in conjunction with Maysles Cinema and Mochilla brings Timeless to Saint  Nicholas Park in Harlem with help from VTech.

Tuesday night in Harlem under looming rainy skies the Timeless Machine landed at the Tools of War Park Jam.  Christie-Z and Tools of War have been bringing this amazing free event to parks all over New York for many years now.  Giving people the opportunity to see hip-hop as it was originally done in the park.  Tuesday’s jam was entitled Diggers Delight and as Grandmaster Caz proclaimed all night… “this is not an event for you to hear the standard round the way music, this is an event for you to hear people who dig deeper and come back with the heavy cuts.” Heavy cut finders for the evening were Lean Roc, Bobbito and the incredible Jazzy Jay and Grand Wizard Theodore was just hanging out!

This was a perfect lead in for Timeless which is an event conceived of by people who dig and who assembled an Orchestra to pay homage to that music live!  Needless to say J.Rocc killed it.  It was certainly inspiring to see and hear the music of Mulatu, Verocai and Dilla loud outside and across Harlem.  One man had come down from his apartment on the corner of 135th and St Nicholas, he was a producer for BET.  He told me “I couldn’t work, this music is way too beautiful, and when I saw it was a film too I almost lost my mind… we need more of this”…

Indeed we do.  Turn it up!

VTech Phones & Fresh Selects present Georgia & Dudley “Run It Down” Live @ The Fix – Portland, OR

Tuesday, August 10th, 2010

FULL SCREEN
The Sounds of VTech / Georgia & Dudley "Run It Down" - Live @ The Fix

Following up on last week’s video of Erykah Badu’s afterparty set – we now present to you the performance that set the pace for that fateful July night in Portland – Georgia Anne Muldrow & Dudley Perkins rocking like only they can, live for an overly sold-out & ready crowd at The Fix. The pair paraded through both singles and beloved album cuts alike, working the eager crowd’s scattered energy into a focused beam, commanding their attention like the true funk revolutionaries they are.

In the video we see Georgia, who has written & produced on a song on each of Badu’s last two albums, accompany her partner in the fOnk, Dudley on “Run It Down,” a song from his 2009 album, Holy Smokes (which Georgia also produced). Also included is a clip of the Mama’s Gun holder herself giving Georgia her due respect and making sure the crowd knew exactly what they had just witnessed & figuratively passing the torch onto the next bearer for afrocentric soul music, proclaiming “Mama Afrika is back – & alive!!!”. And ending on as positive a note as they began, Dudley does a give & take chant with the crowd before making way for the rest of the night’s magic to unfold.

The Fix goes down every Thursday night @ the Someday Lounge in NW Portland. Click here for more videos from VTech & Fresh Selects’ Fix collaborations – including videos with Badu, Quadron, and Keys N Krates – all filmed by Paulius Kontijevas. And there’s still much more coming soon – so stay tuned!

VTech Phones & Fresh Selects present Black Milk live @ The Fix – Portland, OR

Sunday, August 8th, 2010

The Fix continues its record breaking summer with yet another top quality act making their Portland debut. This time its a pre-album release performance from Detroit rapper/producer, BLACK MILK.

One of the strongest torchbearers for the Detroit hip-hop sound right now – Black Milk is best known for his three solo albums and production for Slum Village, Pharoahe Monch, Sean Price, Busta Rhymes, Royce Da 5′9″ & countless others. And his presence is currently at an all-time high as he’s about to drop the aptly titled, ALBUM OF THE YEAR – one of the most anticipated releases of 2010.

He’ll be performing songs from the upcoming release along with all the classics, backed by his band members, AB (vocals/keys) & DARU JONES (drums) – who are both two impressive solo artists in their own right.

And opening up for Milk & the band will be Portland’s own NOTTI – a longtime supporter & friend making his official Fix debut with a live performance including songs from The New Chill and the new Waajeed-produced PDX anthem “4 Portland” featuring illmaculate, Epp & DaiN.

And as if that wasn’t enough – The Fix co-founder & hometown hero OHMEGA WATTS will also be back in town to join his Fix co-founders REV SHINES and DJ KEZ on the wheels for the night. All of this is brought to you by VTECH PHONES & FRESH SELECTS and going down at SOMEDAY LOUNGE – Thursday, August 12th for only $7!!!
