Written By 3 - February 24 2011

some-cold-rock-stuff-lp1

Available on 3LP & 2xCD, to pre-order please contact us at info@conch.co.nz

Comes with poster and sticker sheet!

This is the debut album of original music from one of the original turntablists, the longtime DJ for Madlib and the late J Dilla, and our pick for world’s greatest hip-hop DJ.

But this is not a “DJ album”. Not a “beat album”. Not a mix tape. This is an original work of instrumental hip-hop ... electronic music ... dance music ... smoke tracks ... assorted cold rock stuff.

J. Rocc first made his name as co-founder of The World Famous Beat Junkies in the 1990s with Rhettmatic, Melo D, DJ Babu and Shortkut, becoming a seminal force in the rise of turntablism and instrumental hip-hop. He went on to host The Fantastic Four Radio show on L.A.’s Power 106, perform as the third member of Madlib & J Dilla’s Jaylib, and tour the world as a solo artist, DJ and producer. Some Cold Rock Stuf also contains a “mystery disc”, one of three mystery discs included in different copies of the album. No track list is provided for the “mystery disc” and the CD label does not distinguish one mystery disc from the other.

The vinyl release is a 3/LP set - album and mystery disc - with a triple gatefold, double sided poster, and sticker sheet. The CD is double disc (album and mystery disc) packaged in a custom-made 12-panel digipack. Album illustration by Gustavo Eandi, design by Jeff Jank. Photo of J Dilla & J. Rocc by Egon, circa 2005.

Various - Brand New Wayo (COMB & RAZOR SOUND)

Written By 3 - February 23 2011

Available Here on 2LP

With this release, Comb & Razor Sound launches its exploration of the colorful world of popular music from Nigeria, starting with the post-disco era of the late 1970s and early 80s. The years between 1979 and 1983 were Nigeria's Second Republic, when democracy finally returned after twenty-three years of uninterrupted military dictatorship. They were also the crest of Nigeria’s oil boom, when surging oil prices made the petroleum-producing country a land of plenty, prosperity and profligacy. The influx of petrodollars meant an expansion in industry and the music industry in particular. Record companies upgraded their technology and cranked out a staggering volume of output to an audience hungry for music to celebrate the country’s prospective rise as global power of the future. While it was a boom time for a wide variety of popular music styles, the predominant commercial sound was a post-afrobeat, slickly modern dance groove that retrofitted the relentless four-on-thefloor bass beat of disco to a more laidback, upbeat-and-downbeat soul shuffle, mixing in jazz-funk, synthesizer pop and afro feeling. At the time, it was still mostly locally referred to as “disco,” but has since been recognized as its own unique genre retrospectively dubbed “Nigerian boogie.” A Brand New Wayo: Funk, Fast Times and Nigerian Boogie Badness collects 15 pulsing Nigerian boogie tracks in a lovingly compiled package chronicling one of the most progressive and creative eras in the history of African popular music.
Tracklist & Soundclips: A1. Mixed Grill - A Brand New Wayo A2. Kris Okotie - Show Me Your Backside A3. Murphy Williams - Get On Up A4. Joe Moks - Boys and Girls B1. Amas - Slow Down B2. Oby Onyioha - I Want To Feel Your Love B3. Dizzy K. Falola - Excuse Me Baby B4. Chris Mba - Funky Situation C1. Bayo Damazio - Listen to the Music C2. Martha Ulaeto - Music Alone C3. Segun Robert - Big Race C4. Amel Addmore - Jane D1. Honey Machine - Pleasure D2. The Stormmers - Love or Money D3. Emma Baloka - Letís Love Each Other
