Donald Glover aka Childish Gambino

So I have been kinda absent from the blogging world for a while, but that doesnt mean I haven’t been listening to new music. And as there is a “Doin It” date coming up tomorrow, so I’d like to entrust this gem of an artist to you guys – as you will probably hear some of his songs during my set.

The young man I am speaking of is “Childish Gambino”. I must admit that I haven’t been payin’ to much attention to his career so far ( even though I heard and liked his name quite a few times ), until I was pointed to one song directly. And I have to say, –  I really slept on the guy !

The song was “Freeks an Geeks” and I was hooked from the first few seconds in. To keep it short, the guy is MEGA talented in all different trades. As I learned he’s not only accountable for the production and the rhymes of course, but his wiki labels him as an actor, writer ( ie. the TV Show “30Rock “) , and a comedian – plus he was really close in becoming the new Spiderman !

Anyway I haven’t heard that many ambiguities in lines in ….well…. almost ever. So if you are music interested, please take the time to read through his lyrics here.

I highly recommend his “EP” and the new album “Camp” – but below is one of my favorites and the one song that got me hooked, “Freaks An Geeks”.

 

 

24.03.2012 – Doin’ it

This time around, it’s all home field advantage.

  • Scream is back from Asia and ready to Do it again!
  • Nuke is one year older, and far from being too old to Do it!
  • Bobby is Doin’ it anyways, cuz that’s just what he does!

Of course, we’re all looking forward, to see you Doin’ it, with us.
In the mean time, get your thug on. See y’all on Saturday!

03.03.2012 – Doin’ it/Sneakin Freakin Afterparty

Clap you hands everybody, if you got whut it takes,
cause it’s VDJ Grec Nice, and he’s on the videos and Nuke is on the breaks!

Yes, lucky yous, you heard it right! Just right after Passion tore down the house last week, Doin’ it is already back again with another one.
This time around, we have our buddy Grec, back to delight you, with his videos.
But that’s not all we got in store (intentional pun coming up). Munich’s own sneaker store (I warned ya), Amen, and Germany’s dedicated sneaker mag, Sneaker Freaker, present the Puma x UNDFTD Luxe 2 Pack, that day, and since last time we had a really great night, we’ll be teaming up again, to throw down another installment, of the Sneakin Freakin Afterparty!

See y’all on Saturday!

Nuke

KRS-One – MC’s Act Like They Don’t Know

Snoop Dogg – Sittin By The Water

Everyones favorite Westcoast MC, Snoop Dogg, just released a brand new video for this song called “Sitting By The Water”.
Pump this, while gettin fly, for Doin’ it tonight, so you know the deal, when this song comes on later @ club crux!

25.02.2012 – Doin’ it w/ DJ Passion

You already know, that we’re pretty passionate about every Doin’it event.
But this time, literally, I’m Doin’it with passion. DJ Passion that is!
If you haven’t heard of the man by now, you must still be in hibernation..
Crux goers probably know him best for his “Pump Up The Jam”-90s-parties, where he celebrates everything, that decade had to offer.
From Eurodance to golden-era-Hip Hop, nothing is safe from his sharp and innovative DJ skills.
He’s definitely very high on my DJs-you-must-have-seen-list, right now. And that list is rather short, too, haha.

See y’all on Saturday!

EeZ UP, GAL!

Just recently I discovered this little gem, by Slum Village, called “Ez Up”.

I’m admittedly not too familiar with their catalogue, which explains why I was sleeping on this one.
As far as I know, it’s from their post-Dilla-era, but that doesn’t do it any harm, at all.

I have it on my iPod for some time now, and it’s brightening up these cold ass winter days for me, ever since.

Plus, today’s Valentine’s Day, so I thought I’d share some love, with this one ;-)

04.02. Doin’ it (without Mixwell & Secret Host)


After a short hiatus, “Doin’it” is back!

Update: Unfortunately Mixwell and his host had to cancel the show, since their booker messed up their schedule!

This time we haven’t one, but two special guests! One of which, I can’t quite tell you about, but I’m pretty sure, y’all be really excited, finding out who that turns out to be, next saturday.
The other one, though, is none less that Hamburg’s own DJ Mixwell, who has worked with some of Germany’s most heavyweight Rap artists. He also is no stranger to rocking a club, of course.
I’ve just recently witnessed him, and I was quite pleased how he incorporated some less obvious tracks in his set of classics from the past, present and future.

My man Scream, who will carry on our little plaster heritage, that DJ Slick laid the foundation for, a couple months back, and I will also still be there, of course.

It’s still going to be an exciting night, that you shouldn’t miss by no means!

P.S.: The attached song might, or might not, give you a clue, who our mysterious host will be come April ;-)

Dynamite Deluxe – Hoffe Ihr Versteht

Xtra Xtra – Paula Perry, – here I come

Wow, just pulled that out by total accident. This gets me in such a reminiscing state… In the late 90ies, my whole world was just collecting records… and so I was working at BamBam Records to get my hands on every scrape of the black gold –  and this was a huge one.

DJ Premier was “the” goto producer at the time, so naturally everybody and their mother was pumpin’ this track. And what a banger it is…

So without further ado :

Paula Perry – Xtra Xtra

Paula Perry and DJ Premier – Extra, Extra

The Already Notorious B.I.C.

Not even a week old and already appearing on the Billboard charts.
No, I’m not talking bout the latest hitrecord, this is about a baby.
Whether this is a desirable spot to be in, is a whole nother story, but Blue Ivy Carter, the daughter of Beyoncé and Jay-Z, will probably continue to break records.

Now if she will be trying to follow her daddy’s footprints and become a rapper, like Willow Smith did it, is uncertain at that point.
What is certain though, is the fact, that these footprint’s are those of a giant, and will be very hard to reproduce.

Of course there are approximatively a bajillion songs to cement this point, but I picked one of the less famous ones:
“Hola Hovito” was produced by Timbaland, and is quite the anthem. Jigga brags in his verse, that if he ain’t better than BIG, he’s the closest one.

“Ya not rollin with Hov, then hit the highway!”

Happy New Year everyone !

I hope you had a blast on new years. I had. And I slept till 1.30 today and I can’t walk straight line still.

But the weekend is comin’ and after a few days of chillin’ and relaxin’, I expect all ya’ll to show up for our next “Doin It” partey. The guest of honor will be none other than Mr. DJ Dynamite of the infamous, notorious and good looking band “Dynamite Deluxe”. He is one hell of a producer and a great dj !… plus an overall nice dude anyways. I really look forward to this.
Here is one of my favorite songs the man produced back in 2001 of his album “Welcome To My World”. “Uptown Top Rankin” was a remake of the 1978 song by Althea & Donna. It featured the then 21 year old Estelle and went straight in my playlist…

 

If you enjoy this tune come by this saturday as I will try to get him to play an all dancehall set.
Bring your cans, lighters, whistles, rattles and …. basically anything that makes noise or gives of a light.
