Pearl Project

The song Pearl Project was a music single created by the songwriter Ian Grunfeld (MC Insight) and producer Foolchild. Originally a “Folk Hop” tune performed by Grunfeld’s band Joe Gould’s Secret, the 2 artists collaborated and gave it a new trip hop treatment when they both worked at the Experience Music Project (EMP) in Seattle, WA. The song went through different variations and was finished in the Fuzzy Lounge – Green Room Studios with Jasmine Riley lending her vocals to the work. Eventually the finished piece was released as one of the main singles for the Beat Collision, Volume 1 album.

Written by Ian Grunfeld and Jason Axtman
Produced by Foolchild
Co-Produced by MC Insight
Vocals by Jasmine Riley
Scratches by Foolchild & Krazy K.

Virtual Boy

Alpha Pup Records in Los Angeles are one of those labels where you can’t help but take notice. Not unlike Ninja Tune or Warped Records, Alpha Pup continues to pump out new and exciting artists and music with each release. One of their latest releases is by two gentleman that go by the name of Virtual Boy. This California based duo brings an interesting listen that is reminiscent of synthy retro movie scores and old Nintendo games. Their EP, Symphony No. None, is a 4 track journey that brings you back to the days of playing the Legend of Zelda as a kid. Unfortunately it leaves you wanting a bit more, but I guess that what an EP is supposed to accomplish for an artist.

Check out their track, “Mass”.

Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue

This past Monday night, I went to Neumos in Seattle and witnessed one of the best funk concerts I have ever seen! Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue come straight to your eardrums with their signature sound: Supafunkrock! At only 25 and playing music his whole life, Trombone Shorty is definitely a future superstar. Their show performance mesmerized the Seattle crowd with a slamming mix of rock, funk, jazz, hip-hop and soul.

Listen for yourself. These guys are awesome!!! Below is Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue performing live from the 2010 Bonnaroo Music Festival in Manchester, Tenn.

AWESOME movie by BT, Blake Lewis, and KJ Sawka!

Had to share this one!

This is a new movie posted by Blake Lewis + BT featuring the use of BT’s new Izotope – Stutter Edit Plugin. One afternoon in the studio and some dope editing makes for a really entertaining 4 minutes.
