Spacebase is the Place

 

  1. REQUIEM 4 MR. YANCEY was a tune i made for James Yancey (J-DILLA)whose musical works impacted and inspired many including myself as a youth but i realized after he passed it added fuel in alot of people some positive some negative (as everything is will and shall be) and there begin 2 be this whole slew of upcoming cats with this sorta attitude like "yea i make beats" It reminded me of when i would read about how cats in the be-bop days would try and play like Charlie Parker and since he was the man wit DIzzy (respect due) U had people like "Bird shoots up and plays crazy..So im gonna shoot up and try play crazy" trying 2 tune into his frequency 2 project there music which is pretty insane though alot of people on this planet are pretty insane haha it just got crazy then with all these junkie musicians some able 2 move on in this creative world and find themselves musically and so forth and some having 2 move off this planet due 2 there ignorence in trying 2 deal with this music thru someone elses spirit without having there own spiritual/creative basis intact .... i feel like certain people still are loss in those ideals and they find it difficult to find themselves in the music partly because they do not KNOW themselves so they say NO 2 themselves creatively....So u say NO 2 What u already KNOW Creativity just says NO.......
  2. STICK EM UP represents that coming into the A.D.(After Dilla) era of Beat Music where its Boom Bap but more free less restraint in the sound in the timing its just hanging in mid air....On the blunted adventurous
  3. HOLLYHOOD/WHERE DEM TREES came together in Dec 08. I was just in SPACEBASE like "Im playing outside LOW END THEORY on NEW YEARS EVE with my fellow BRAINFEEDER comrades in sound SAMIYAM and GASLAMP KILLER(Remember that?) and I knew we was playing outside on my favorite soundsystem THE"PURE FILTH SOUNDSYSTEM" (AIRHORN!!!!!) I needed something that would make the ceiling rumble and shake! That night so thats what inpired that production had 2 bring a heavy tune on such a heavy system!!(I still feel the stage moving in my mind from that night)
  4.  ONE 4 STEVE EL: This is my dedication 2 Steve Ellison aka FLYING LOTUS done in a classic Steve Ellison Style (its a thin line between biting and inspiration where do u stand?) i remember when i was`nt such a fan of cpu based music cause well it sounded like shit 2 me everything i heard thats HARD was coming out of MPC`s,SP 1200`s ASR 10`s SP 303`s etc.... Then this kid from Winnetka rolls up in ford focus 2 Sketchbook(Whudup KUTMAH,TAKE and RENEAU) with THE FORCE coming out his trunk! Most of us was kinda skeptical or could`nt fully comprehend what it was that he was bringing in terms of using the cpu to make music so the process of how he was creating made convo kinda difficult but the music was always beyond the expectations of what i thought was possible with a laptop cause @ that point it was all records,kids toys, a mic and a MPC with 21 seconds 4 me..But Steve demonstrated alot of impossibles in this beat music i always tell him he kicked in the door and snapped the bouncers neck and started blasting people with this music that we was just outside playing i express gratitude(some of yall got 2 much pride and ego ) 2 my fellow alien and musical comrade Steve EL...htp
  5. ANCESTRIAL ECHOES: This was a outerbody experience i just blasted off in my mind with this one my krst took over i just did what it said i just felt it this was a a begging process of letting go of the planet during the process of creating music I remember this process it was made in 06-07 in the Lions Den on the Sp 303 then i sampled what i did in there into the MPC and here u have it on a sun ra day i remember i just kept listening 2 it over and over i could`nt stop listening 2 it cause did`nt know what i did what or could fully understood Ancestors took over.............There voices echo thru the music can u hear it?
  6. ASCENSION FROM NIGGA 2 NEGUS(Interlude) is something i made after watching Malcom X the movie and the scenes in the movie when he comes from being "Detroit Red" con man theif etc 2 becoming the man some u KNOW as Malcom X mad me cry every time i watched it like wow look @ the fruits of bettering yourself only a fool could`nt feel that. I read the book when i was 10-11yrs old(Thanks 2 my cousin MARZ DYNAMIC 4 leaving that @ grams house) opened my mind and helped in shaping my being as it did 4 many before and after me (4 whomever has read that book haha "u read any?") but in those times it was cool 2 KNOW Something have knowledge of your past 2 broaden your ideals of your future as respectable being man/woman in america and abroad and as i grew up with that ideal i saw how that idea was really powerful 2 celebrate,respect and honor your culture and history as well as others but it seems that that ideal is not as accepted or popular as it once was anymore its took a backseat 2 those of a lesser thinking seems the people who had the power 2 build pyramids and created the foundation 4 all u see now(Civilization) use those powers 4 personal self empowerment thru self-degradation i see people going thru the shit-uation and fuckery they don`t have 2 go thru if they just tune into there greatness and trust there being only then will they ascend from there Nigg-norence.... Ig-Snorence....and Paul Mooney said everybody wanna be a Nigga but nobody wanna be a nigga i say render unto the owner and follower of there rightful name and title back unto them then u can regain your ancient title that they could`nt pronounce before NEGUS (meaning king)

  9. STAR MESSENGERS Shout 2 Elvin(DJ NOBODY)Estrellia 4 handing me this record as a challenge one day @ Poo-bah Record Shop he played it and said "i wanna here what u do with it" (how secondhand sure shots does this shit sound 2u haha) so i took it home and smoked a few and this is the results wanted 2 do more 2 the beat but i was having a outerbody experience when making it and did`nt remember 2 save it on a zip disk but i did record it in my _G-band! so it lived Bless!
  10. Disco 4000 30 min beat found the break cut it up in the MPC, grabbed one of my circuit bent toys,grabbed a random dub record sampled it all in the MPC and here have a early morning de-seeded weeded shit rolled in a backwood wit some green tea haha Dr. Yosef Ben Yochannan once said "I Had 2 Learn the words MUTHAFUCKA 2 grab the Attention of the MUTHAFUCKA who needs my Attention haha(GLK is GREAT @ THIS!!! Whudup Willie!)
  11. MushMouth............ MORE SHROOMS!!!!!!!!!!!!! ate alot of these things @ SPACEBASE 2031 my door closed red lights on.... cloudy from hella blunts....... records everywhere.... bag of mushies.....and some green tea arizona this is another outer body adventure i don`t remember the loops the records none of that important follow the rules shit all i really remember is wanting 2 do it all live on the MPC like im just gonna hit record on this sequence and whatever happens happens fuck it it became my soundtrack for my off the planet adventure the rest of that night i arised next light back on the planet and this shit was just looping in my MPC for like 15 hrs haha
  12. Love Something........ Wow my first time recording a live drummer and he`s 10(he`s 12 now) haha in my old kitchen AHMIR WARNER im smoking blunts and i hear him practicing downstairs i heard him playing this beat and i had 2 just record it live straight into the garageband he was killing it! He was actually playing it way crazier and faster but got a bit shy and mellow as i came down 2 check him out but the FEEL of what he was playing was still there so while he continued 2 practice i went upstairs 2 Spacebase and got the mpc loaded up with his drums added everything else u hear and i made this tune within a hr or 2 of him being there 2 see the shy withdrawn excitement coming from that kid listening 2 himself was worth more than anything this planet could provide! nurture the seeds enlighten there inner creativity and they will create like Sun Ra said "Beta 4 a Beta WORLD" no greek haha get it?
  13. Psilocybin Music yea more mushies.............this is the second beat made on em everything was just like that bass sound bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz and that clap was me coming out of that buzz sound it was a crazy one but i get flashbacks when i listen 2 this track funtimes @spacebase 2031
