041208 :: willy joy-produced Flybynight: The Prequel EP featuring 2 new handshake tracks is up on Turntable Lab - #15 on the charts today. cop that to get 2 new tracks from willy himself, 2 from CAPCOM, and 2 from me as handshake, one featuring chitown MC vyle, who murders it so bad I had to get on a remix, due out soon as digital release, and one is my remix of Trick Daddy's 'Sugar'. mastering is kinda blown on my tracks but will be corrected in the digital release. it's worth getting the record cuz it's hand-numbered out of 300, silkscreened, and my first vinyl release (that I'm aware of). HOLLA!
122307 :: come shred on nye
120207 :: holy crap still on the road - osaka now - headed home this week. asia I love you but I miss my speakers. pics up on my flickr page
082207 :: oh yeah I'm gonna be all over this earth with cut&paste from sept-dec 07. check my myspace page for the dates and hit me up if you're somewhere I'm gonna be. we'll shred
082007 :: 2 new handshake bangers (HEAT!) comin out on a 12" with chitown's willy joy (of flybynight fame) and the capcom djs - one's my remix of trick daddy's 'sugar', other's a new cut I did with that dude vyle
060307 :: long silence this time due to temporarily catastrophic ankle injury. much better now though.
011807 :: new track - I no longer cast a shadow - for percussion lab is finally finished. think I'm gonna move the unabomba stuff onto this page.
011507 :: long silence due to work on a track for the new percussion lab comp - I've been in labor for months over this taco but she's almost done

091306 :: got the remix EP 'with' from infant joy - it's serious. mine is the lamest track on there and the 'joy kicked my heinie with 6 amazing tracks. cop that s whenever it comes out
071306 :: infant joy took the 'someone' remix to mastering the other day - should surface on a rework EP sometime in the near future || also (!) BAP and CROOKLYN shows coming up -- reworking performance system to include new flexibilities and to make me less boring as a person
051006 :: remixes in the works for UK duo infant joy and french noise artist gencod of untitled(!!)
041006 :: BAP was a trip - thanks to everyone who came out, so sorry to drumkiller dj_methodikal who got burned by the establishment and never took the stage. I will personally make it up to you brad.
031906 :: hot news - maryland dancehall vocalist lion is coming out for the BAP show apr 8 so look for some unabomba stuff there.
