27.08.2008 Paul Mawhinney was born and raised in Pittsburgh, PA. Over the years he has amassed what has become the world's largest record collection. Due to health issues and a struggling record industry Paul is being forced to sell his collection. This is the story of a man and his records. The video was produced by veryapeproductions.com |

09.07.2008 FS_Green has released a beat tape recently. "The zip file contains 12 beats, 25 minutes of my music" What we get is 12 somewhat dark and pulsating productions which make you wanna go back to your basement and dust off that Juno 106. Very cool stuff, a bit Dilla'esque, but in that "in tribute to Dilla" way. A definite winner around the office. DOWNLOAD |

18.04.2008 So here it comes... Fonoteka Remixed Vol.1 hits the streets. Congrats to all the producers for bringin'up the heat while flipping through crates of euro jazz. The ones who made the record are there for a reason. Those who did not make it will hopefully gather why. We have selected artists who with skill and undisputable talent manage to serve fresh and vibrant tracks. Their sonic signature and style ravishes over the original songs. We want to thank everyone who took part in the contest, yet only 3 people will walk with the prizes. Our top picks will be made public on Sunday. |

19.01.2008 On the official AKAI PRO website we can read " The MPC5000 is the first MPC ever to include 8-track streaming hard disk recording, a 20-voice, 3-oscillator analog synthesizer with arpeggiator, a new sequencing engine with 960 ppq resolution, pad and track muting and mixing, 64 continuous sample tracks. There's even a new FX engine with 4 FX buses and 2FX per bus." Well... to us it looks a little bit like mpc2500 on steroids. Also no support for higher sampling rates may be little disappointing, but what the heck. It is a new MPC!!! |

The "Nothing is going on" LP consists of 35 very nicely crafted overnight jams. The idea for Ortega's music is to make albums on the spot, spontaneously, instinctively and true. You can listen and download the album from the ortegacartel.com site and buy it directly from the Sixteen Pads WEAR store. ..RAW hip hop in its purest form. Produced by patr00. Guest appearance : Jesse Maxwell, the Jonesz, Reno, Finker, Pierrot, Mielzky and Urbek. "You gotta clap." |

18.08.2007 Do you all remember the Sixteen Pads BB004 Winner? Well, the one and only FS GREEN is back and stronger than ever. He has teamed up with MC, songwriter and producer Perry Mystique from Amsterdam, on Perry's 10 track EP release. Definitely HOT. "Late 2007 Perry decides to drop an EP and teamed up with Killing Skills and two super talented producers FS Green and Reverse. Within a week the tracks where recorded, the week after everything was mixed. The first single "I cannot give it away", featuring Sayla Ford, is a mind-blowing production of the just 18-year old FS Green who shows the bar is set high if it comes to productions. The Killing Skills production "Leave it up to us", with Phatt on the hook, was FunXclusive on Dutch radio station FunX." |

1.08.2007 Appletree Records, based in Amsterdam and founded in 2006 is all about a fresh, positive sound and mind state. Searching new musical talent and bringing their music to the masses. One of their latest releases is "Untitled" by Beau Love which you can purchase on CD/LP through their website.  "With his rough, dusty drums combined with soulful samples Beau Love works the MPC 2000 like an extension of his musical mind. But it's not only these rough beats (that sometimes make ones mind cast back to classics from Pete Rock and DJ Premier) that deserve attention on this first volume of the Appletree Beats Series." Check Beau Love and Louis Bordeaux's music in our juke box and visit the Appletree Records for more. Good STUFF!! |
