GIG: Rhombus In Dub: 6 June @ Leigh Sawmill

Written By 3 - May 15 2010

Rhombus in Dub: Volume 1 Tour

An alternative version of Rhombus Live Band, Rhombus in Dub sees key band members Thomas, Simon and Koa performing on a mixture of MPC, live dubbing, laptop performance and turntables/cd-j – essentially recreating the Rhombus production studio live on stage! Touring to support their new sampler CD Rhombus in Dub: Volume 1 (featuring collaborations with Optimus Gryme, Rodney P (UK) and more), Rhombus in Dub will be performing material from the sampler, unreleased originals/remixes as well as classics from their back catalogue – all mashed up live –  Rhombus in Dub style! Rhombus has been performing in the Rhombus in Dub format since late 2008.. During this period of time they have performed nationwide, and made appearances in Australia and Japan – often to sold-out crowds! Auckland based producer Dub Terminator will be playing support. The party awaits; people are you ready? "Heavy beats and dope collaborations. More of the same please" – Dylan C (Base FM) on Rhombus in Dub: Volume 1 Tickets available from Conch, 115A Ponsonby Rd, Ponsonby $20 + BF More Info: www.rhombus.co.nz www.myspace.com/rhombusmusic Search for “Rhombus” on facebook Releases: Rhombus - Rhombus CD

Upcoming: Bulljun - Bulljun & Funky Presidents 2029 2LP (Flatrock)

Written By 3 - May 11 2010

This album is due for release in June, for pre-orders please contact us at info@conch.co.nz

Check track listing with sound clips below.

Bulljun is a member of Japanese hip hop / breakbeat creator team, A.Y.B. Force. His 17-track 2nd album was created entirely on the MPC 2000 XL with plenty of his impressions of the connection between the Japanese hip hop scene and NYC, and the respect they show to 90s US hip hop.

We all know that the Japanese are some of the top record nerds in the world, so expect 17 instrumentals of mellow, galactic beats, devoted to 90s hip hop / breakbeats, and composed by using only sampling sources from his personal record collection.

SIDE-A

1. World War Intro 2. 2nd Ep Outro 3. New President 2009 4. Cold Stone Jazz

SIDE-B 1. Soul Bound 2. Party & Bullsh*t 3. Daddy’s Old Same Black Diamond Soul Bossa Song 4. The Frogman 5. Kill The Darkness

SIDE-C 1. B.B.B. (Brooklyn Baddest B*tch) 2. To The Cali 3. Gun 4 Pee 4. Radio Skit

SIDE-D 1. Bolivian Express 2. HAYAO 3. Edogawa River Drive 4. Outro

UPCOMING: Onra - Long Distance CD/LP (ALL CITY)

Written By 3 - May 07 2010

Long Distance is due to be released in June 2010, to pre-order contact us at info@conch.co.nz From All City Records:

We are very proud to present our first proper full length on All City all the way from Paris. A producer with an incredible work rate, Onra has already released a 45 with us as part of our 7 inch series back in 2008 and incredibly this is his fifth LP! Most will know him through 2007’s “Chinoiseries” - a great LP created from Vietnamese found sounds after some extensive rifling through dusty crates. While this LP may be made via similar means – sampling old dusty vinyl –the sounds are distinctively Western and rooted in the 80s! Long since established as one of the beat scenes go to guys, he flips the style here to bring a distinctively French, who have been championing the modern soul and boogie sound for time, influence on what is a personal homage to the R n B and Soul sounds of that era. 21 tracks in all – a mix of instrumentals and vocals – this LP is hard to pigeon hole not straight up beat based hip hop nor needlessly wonky. Finely crafted songs with high production values, the LP features vocal contributions from T3 of Slum Village on “The One”, Olivier DaySoul fresh from Hudson Mohawke’s Butter LP is on two tracks – the title track “Long Distance”, also released on 12” and “My Mind is Gone” plus Reggie B guests on “High Hopes”. French soul-jazz keys player Buddy Sativa (Favorite Records) & Walter Mecca also appear.

The album will be released on CD in June 010 preceding the 12” of title track ‘Long Distance’ in March (this includes exclusive bonus tracks).
