Touch the Magic Now- The Trackademicks Process

I had a chance to sit down with the homie Dave the Dopeman from touchthemagicnow.com
, a fresh new site highlighting the efforts of all the dopest producers.

I love the concept of the site because it highlights the efforts of the dopest producers.

Specifically, it shows their process and approach to music making.

Glad I got a chance to do this... I totally forgot about this beat. I just might use it...

Dub Frequency CMJ Showcase tonight @ BLVD!!!

TONIGHT!!! NY!!! HNRL!!! Fool's Gold!!!

BackTRACKin': Prefab Sprout- "Appetite"

Prefab Sprout- "Appetite"

I wasn't up on Prefab Sprout until a couple months ago. I got interested after hearing about Thomas Dolby's involvement in this project. After hearing the album, Steve McQueen, I was thoroughly satisfied. There's a very contemporary feel to the music. It almost sounds as if it could have been made today. Real Breezy. Real Clean. Real Sophisticated.

There are a few gems on the album... I'll let you find them if you're so inclined. It's okay to work for it. 

Work hard. Play hard...

Oh Yeah. Tell if I'm trippin', but isn't that Luther Vandross at the 3:28 mark?!?!? Hmmm...

Gold Fever??? Hmmmm.

Ummmmmm... Yeah.

I don't feel I have to say anymore about this one... EXCEPT that you should come out and see what actually happens...

I don't have the answer to that one yet...

I just hope I get to see Jill Masterton there...

Somewhere in Mexico...

Ummm... Yeah.

This is amazing.

Happy Monday.
