If the heat is on in Los Angeles right now, Shafiq Husayn is definitely one of it's brightest suns. As part of Sa-Ra Creative Partners he helped to create a sound that has influenced beat makers and producers in Los Angeles and the world a like. What is being called the "LA sound" is strongly in debt to what Sa-Ra has created. Just recently, Erykah Badu enlisted Shafiq to produce and guide her latest album New Amerykah: Part One (4th World War), which has garnered the singer the most critical praise since her debut. Now, Poo-Bah Records is blessed to present the latest in Shafiq's growing catalog of heat - Shafiq Presents Jank Random vs Earl Leonne - The Frequency Clash.
The Frequency Clash is Shafiq's first all instrumental release and showcases some of Shafiq's most stellar work to date. This EP features 13 bangers with the Sa-Ra feel, but taken to the next level. Earls Thing will be the next great DJ standard along with The Mag- two absolutely ridiculous minimal stunners that hit all the right pleasure spots in your brain. There are just too many insane moments here- dueling snares, broken piano concertos, Bombsquad-like intensity, and Mad Max-esque bouncers. A beautiful world indeed!
This week, Beat Soup welcomes Yuk of MHD and Pudge of VJC playing some very, very rowdy cuts. Come thru and and experience the sounds of LA's very talent filled kin, Pudge and Yuk with guest sets from My Hollow Drum on the DJ. Get up with the new at Poo-Bah records.
