Two more early 90's hip hop classics... Digable Planets, a jazz-hip hop fusion group:






It's amazing how the crap that AAHZ posts is descended from stuff like the above. No wonder "Hip Hop is dead" is the mantra of today.


What's hilarious is the first track I posted was featured in a Tide commercial



20 year old rap songs used in detergent commercials

Digging in the crates some more.








Too bad you can't find these tracks anywhere online besides youtube, not even to purchase them from iTunes or the Zune store. It's a shame. And of course, CD stores don't have them either. A lot of the music I've been posting, can't be found anywhere, as far as I know.

swansea legends swiss fx. i remember seeing these guys on several occasions, the first was on a very MDMA fuelled birthday some years ago in the monkey bar. there was a DJ playing some bassline house while these guys were setting up, then the keyboard player and the drummer started playing a little bit, but this powerful bassline continued and developed. i looked up and the DJ was nowhere to be seen, then i look at the bass player, turn to my mate and say "he's playing that" "no ****ing way" "he ****ing is, look at him" the bass player was going nuts and music was changing with each frenzied movement, "he ****ing is as well, fair play". i remember it then all stop and the band went into a crazy, messed up and beautiful cover of 'changes' by chris lake (proving that it is, indeed, possible to polish a turd). it was incredible. good times.

there's also a video of them performing 'three' at siro's cider fest (in 2007 i think, i'm pretty sure i was there, but can't remember exactly...), but the quality is fairly poor so i'll leave that one out.



swiss fx - two

interesting OFITG. i must confess to being somewhat ignorant of croatian music, but i'm always willing to give something new a try.

more welshie stuff. i've plugged this band loads in these threads, because they are totally awesome and i fancy the singer their mini album a baloon called moaning was stunning, 6 or 7 tracks i would describe as great. one of my favourite new bands from 2008/2009. they've finally finished their debut full length LP and here's a couple of tracks from it.
