Wax Poetics - Issue 38 - Curtis Mayfield

Written By 3 - December 03 2009

The new issue of Wax Poetics features Curtis Mayfield on the cover as well as articles on Spike Lee and Roc Raida plus much more.

Available here from Conch

From waxpoetics.com

It’s been a long time coming. In fact, for the past eight years and thirty-seven issues, we’ve wanted to do a Curtis Mayfield cover. It finally worked out for our unofficial Film/Hustler Issue, in which we take a look at Mayfield’s epic soundtrack recording Super Fly. New York writer Michael Gonzales pulls from his own 1996 Curtis Mayfield interview as well as tapping Curtis associates, guitarists Craig McMullen and Phil Upchurch and composer/arranger Johnny Pate, to tell the story of the finest blaxploitation score of the 1970s.

Once again, we’ve created a split cover–with Curtis on front both times and the back shared by two classic films: Spike Lee’s Do the Right Thing (Radio Raheem in full effect) and Ralph Bakshi’s Coonskin (a Wax Poetics favorite). Besides speaking with both of these groundbreaking filmmakers, we also take a look at the new film Black Dynamite (Wax Poetics Records released the score and soundtrack), and music supervisor David Hollander reveals the fundamental facts of once-mysterious library music.

Last but not least, we finally unveil the Robert Beck aka Iceberg Slim story by longtime contributer Mark McCord (aka Mark Skillz). As the greatest hustler of all time, Beck finally gets his due.

Dub Asylum Drops Ba Ba Boom 45 - Out Now

Written By 3 - December 03 2009

Available here now from Conch

Following on from last year's popular "Ba Ba Boom!"EP, Dub Asylum serve up the title track on lovely black vinyl, with an exclusive new remix of Ba Ba Boom from local dubstep DJ/producer Oogun (host of the Drunk Elephant Sound System radio show on BaseFM).

Ba Ba Boom proved to be a standout track among DJs on the EP, so here's the much-requested vinyl version, just in time for summer. The bouncy ska-infused number is aided by the sweet stylings of the WBC horn section (Olly, Oliver and Matiu), and reggae samples ripped up at the turntable by Scratch 22. On the flip, Oogun goes to town with remix duties, throwing down some afrobeat/dubstep madness with serious sub-bass business.

Out December 7 - vinyl only - in selected record stores -with some exclusive pre-release copies in at Conch this Friday, 4th of December.

The Ba Ba Boom Release party is at Conch Sunday Grill, Ponsonby Social Club, from 5pm, Sunday December 13

Check the Youtube clips below for previews.
