While I love Vegetarian Selectronics, it's a little stale over here.

Minced Meat stays fresh at www.mincedmeatradio.tumblr.com.

The blog's diet is still healthy. ;-) Thanks for all the fun, blogspot!!! x -Em

Minced Meat Video Catch Up

2010-09-22T10:56:00.008-04:00

Here are a few vids that crossed my path that I'd like to bring to your attention because, well, they deserve it (your attention). It's a bit of catch up. But here, all in one place, are some sweet effin' effects.

1. Progress Report - Wake Up

Props to director John, and D & Eddie, and the whole sleepin' crew (who are probably actually some of the most conscious people in the city). You guys made this video look sweet. Sounds great, too! Download the Spill Out Series Vol. 4 Progress Report EP on iTunes via sUPERIOR Belly. You won't be disappointed!

2. Danny Brown - The Nana Song (p. Mosel)

3. Danny Brown - Shootin' Moves (p. Frank Dukes)

Both vidz are from The Hybrid. I'm really impressed at the amount of acclaim and ampage this album has received. Brown and I had an awkward conversation about it when it first came out: he's really nonchalant about what I consider to be important music. (Hence awkward.) Have a listen.

4. Black Milk - Deadly Medley (from Album of The Year)

Oooh. Elzhi's verse gives me chills every time. *Shiver*

5. Inverted Wastelands - I like hip-hop as much as I like weird tekky art. Here's one from Carrie Gates (Saskatchewan) with music by Kero.

Read these details, carefully:
"Inverted Wasteland is a 10 minute live video performance piece by Saskatoon VJ Carrie Gates, with sound by KERO™. This work was made in response to an invitation to perform at an artist salon in Edmonton called "Future Worlds", organized by the MileZero Dance Company.

Audio:
track 1. KERO - Gramz - Cryovac records
track 2. KERO - Groovytour - Kerohand records
track 3. KERO - Ti Shlumpa - Ghostly International

Carrie plays up to 10 layers of video at once, using modul8 to manipulate the footage in reatime. All of the footage is custom shot and/or generated by Carrie. This video is a mixdown created after the live event (which is documented on Carrie Gates' YouTube channel).

• FOR EXTRA INVERTEDNESS PRESS CTRL,ALT,APPLE AND 8

6. Ghostly International: Matthew Dear recently released Black City: an album that transcends physical and auditory forms. Here's a trippy video abstraction that furthers this exploration.

MDBC Abstraction from Ghostly International on Vimeo.

7. More Ghostly via Christopher Willits: Flowers Into Stardust is the last track on the album Tiger Flower Circle Sun and the video is here, as created by Willits himself.

Christopher Willits - "Flowers Into Stardust" / Taken from Tiger Flower Circle Sun from Ghostly International on Vimeo.

That's all for now. Check back soon!

So Hot You Get Chills

2010-08-13T14:31:00.004-04:00

Detroit emcee Invincible and NY-via-Detroit producer Waajeed have just released an inspiring 7" vinyl NECESSITY on Emergence Media featuring two new epic Detroit anthems "Detroit Summer" and "Emergence."

On Tuesday night at 5 E Gallery, Invincible & Waajeed debuted the video with the 7":

Invincible + Waajeed - "Detroit Summer"/"Emergence" from EMERGENCE Media on Vimeo.

Support local musicians, artists and youth by visiting www.emergencemedia.org and www.detroitsummer.org.

Invincible + Waajeed will rock an in-store performance at Ya Digg Records (located inside of the Russell Industrial Center on I-75 and Clay) on Saturday, August 14 (tomorrow) - be sure to attend!

Follow @Jeedo47 and @InvincibleDET on twitter to stay connected.

( ...and speaking of vinyl, new releases, etc... Progress Report and Superior Belly are anticipating the release of their newest addition to the Spill Out Series split 7" collection at their party August 28. RSVP! )

Let's Dance the Dance of Fresh Uncharted Lands

2010-08-10T12:05:00.003-04:00

Here's the new video from Awesome In Outer Space (Quelle, this time featuring Mars Dynamo). It's directed by Nic Notion and is not what you would expect from the Chicago-based emcee, known well for his vintage vibes in the hip-hop duo Crown Nation with Denmark Vessey. (Click the highlighted words, Quelle has some free music up online for you.)

MONKEY IN A JUMPSUIT: AWESOME IN OUTERSPACE (DIRECTED BY NIC NOTION) from NICNOTION on Vimeo.

Pared down as it may be, it's a polished piece of work. I love music that challenges the norm, throws off your expectations.
And speaking of experimental video and music, keep pressin. Someone was gripin' to me the other day that "hip-hop can't really go anywhere else" and I think that's hogwash. Anyway posting up Quelle's new vid reminded me of one Dial81 + fam made back in 2007, directed by John Schweitzer. Notice Modes, ID, Mobil at the front.

Kyle Hall Guest DJ on Minced Meat August 9/2010

2010-08-09T03:47:00.004-04:00

The track list, before Kyle began to play, featured:

Stoopz & Breeze - The Set Up ft. Baatin
Pirranhahead ft. Clara Hill - Badly
Cysion - Grindependent

And Kyle's set started right after a commercial break.

We also broadcasted most of the set from Ustream... I recorded it too, though the audio is not top notch.
Here's the Video! http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/8816922.

Around the third hour (about 02:39) we take a short break to chill and play Achtung on Kero's iPad. Fun stuff!

Monica Blaire & Ro Spit x Burn Rubber 3 Year Anniversary

2010-06-28T14:32:00.005-04:00

Two of the most polished artists in Detroit are performing on stage together to bring you The Renaissance State of Mind Experience. Starting at 6pm, Friday July 2nd in the alley behind St. Andrew's Hall, join Ro & MB for a friendly BBQ, followed by a stage show like no other in Detroit that blends hip-hop and R&B backed by a live band. Ro's raps and energetic, yet nonchalant demeanor combined with Monica Blaire's powerful voice and amazing personality will give you chills. Promise. If they don't, you probably don't have feelings. Just sayin'.
The theme of the night was inspired by Ro & MB's winning remake of Jay-Z's Renaissance State of Mind -- our boy DBIT re-created the beat from scratch for them. Talk about commercial appeal! The track can be found on Ro's "Oh SH#T! Project" which came out in late 2009. Download it at RoSpit.com.
Here's the video.

You can also check out my exclusive interview with Monica Blaire, just before her groundbreaking performance at the DIA.

The performance upstairs at St. Andrew's will be followed by a great afterparty downstairs at The Shelter with DJ Graffiti. Nice one guys!!!

DIAL81 at sUPERIORBELLY has hooked up a fine-looking post for last week's episode of Minced Meat. He even caught our antics on camera and edited down the audio for the interview, sans commercials.

Beat Per Week #7 from Doc Illingsworth

2010-06-26T11:19:00.003-04:00

I like this track a lot, played it first on Minced Meat last week. But for some reason, I couldn't bring myself to say "Pimpshits" out loud over the airwaves, though we all know it would have been hilarious. Say it out loud. See?
Here's what Doc says about it:
"I had this little pimpish style groove in my head. I also put a little interpolation of Morris Day and The Time's "Cool" in the background. This ain't the next level shit. It's pimp shit lol. It's a bit rough....not sure if I'm exactly stuck to the instrument choices I made. I also recorded some silly vocals on top. They might be hard to hear but I'm seriously thinking about redoing this and making the vocals really really audible. Some of the lyrics go as follows "I gotta jheri curl and I'm spraying on activator, don't get pimp slapped, better have my money".....Things of that nature. This was done in Ableton with Acid 7 rewired into it for some of the drum stuff.

Q&A + Mix from DJ TJ The King

2010-06-20T17:29:00.008-04:00

DJ TJ THE KING has been gracing turntables since he was a kid. His love for good hip-hop and provocative, progressive minded music brought me to inquire, and the result is a series of quick answers to accompany the mix he made for Veg Selects, here. Catch him on the decks live at St. Andrew's Hall for the official concert of the 2010 Hip Hop Congress National Conference & Summit Saturday June 26, 2010.

MM: What made you first place your finger on the fader?

DJTJ: Ever since I was in the single digits my uncles have been calling me DJTJ and it stuck with me growing up. It's like it was meant to happen -- it's kind of crazy if you look at what people call you as a young child and it becomes a genuine reality.

MM: You occupy a pivotal place in the timeline of hip-hop music. Your work alone and with Jay Electronica is blazing a trail for independent artists. What's the best thing about being a hip-hop DJ in this current musical climate?

DJTJ: The best thing is that I get to express good hip hop music that will carry on for a lifetime and I don't have to work a 9 to 5 anymore.

MM: Do you think hip-hop as it's represented in mainstream media needs to change?

DJTJ: No, I think that the areas that aren't being heard need to step it up.

MM: What does it mean to be a tastemaker right now?

DJTJ: It means to have an opinion that is heard and matters.

MM: What do you listen for when you hear new music? What does it take for an artist to get on one of your mixtapes?

DJTJ: Any artist with good music can get on my mixtapes -- I don't discriminate. I listen to the combination of the lyrics, beat and delivery.

MM: What are you listening to right now?

DJTJ: I'm really feeling Danny Brown, Black Milk, MarvOne, Guilty Simpson of course Jay Elec. I think they have messages that the masses need to hear.

MM: What were you doing before you met Jay Electronica? What was your first show together like?

DJTJ: I was doing Grind Season Mixtapes right out of Greenfield Plaza. Our first show was rough because it was in front of a very big crowd for our first time together -- but after that, we golden.

MM: What do you want to do next? What's the next project you're working on?

DJTJ: I'm going to continue the Grind Season Mixtapes starting with artists from Detroit, then I'll start to hit other hoods in the nation that are simular to Detroit.

Here's the mix featuring great music from your favourite Detroit artists like J Dilla, Danny Brown, Black Milk, Guilty Simpson and many others. It's free: here's the link! http://www.sendspace.com/file/ijqnen

1 Sweet Treat, 1 Beat Per Week via Minced Meat

2010-06-14T14:07:00.003-04:00

You heard this for the first time last night on Minced Meat when you were chillin with myself and Miz Korona. Illingsworth has been hookin' up beats for weeks now. This one's called "Not Really Fried." Which isn't a lie.

Doc Illingsworth says: "The name of the beat is "Not Really Fried" simply because I was about to name it "Fried" which in some parts is slang for being high (slang for slang lol) but I was "Well, I don't want people to think I was high when I wasn't really high" lol. SO.....I was not really fried. I hope you enjoy."

Beat Per Week #5 from Illingsworth

2010-06-07T12:28:00.003-04:00

Yet another impressive bumper!! Thanks Doc!

Track description:
"When I was a wee laddie, my parents would never get me the new games as they came out. They would buy the discounted nintendo joints or get em months later. One of the games of my childhood that I'll never forget was Wrath of The Black Manta .....Terrible game, but I played it and played it until I BEAT it. It actually wasn't that bad back then, since I was young and had no taste. I hope you enjoy the beat. Let me know what you think http://twitter.com/illingsworth .

Hir-O & Doss Present: Computer Blue

2010-06-06T13:42:00.003-04:00

Doss The Artist rhymes over beats by Hir-O with additional production and contributions from Celcius Electronics' L05, Haz Bey, PJayD, Anomaly and more. This is a nice creative release with lots of street elements that pay homage to the sounds of Dungeon Family. Then they add in a bit of pop flavour -- these guys aren't shy about using autotune, but, they don't overuse it, either. They borrow a bit from Dilla on "Strongest Member of My Team" and remix FlyLo; they use toasty samples, reverb'd thuds and airy synths to maintain a warm, emotive vibe throughout.

Lucky for us, Hir-O and Doss have hooked it up for free. Download your own copy HERE.

Another Beat From Doc Illingsworth

2010-06-01T11:06:00.004-04:00

Here's the fourth beat from Doc I! I like where this is heading.

Track description:
"I've been trying to do more with effects and drums so here I just put a really basic delay on the drums....If you compare to how the drums sound in the beginning to the sound after the effect comes in, It gives them a different feel. I thought it sounded cool. I really like wah-wahs by the way. I gotta make sure I don't end up using them too much :). This beat was done completely in Acid 7 with a sample and some additional vsts. Enjoy and let me know what you think at twitter.com/illingsworth."

This one's pretty smooth. Carlos Garcia aka L05 from Ann Arbor's Branch Out Collective does a fine job of adding a bit of heaviness and grime to a track that might otherwise be swept away by typical R&B formatting.

Illingsworth, producer and emcee for Detroit CYDI, has posted today that he will supply us with awesomeness every week for ...ever (maybe).

Here's the first track, it's called Off Beater.

$50 for 5 Elements Gallery

2010-05-06T20:40:00.003-04:00

Hello all,

I'm writing today to tell you about the major changes that are going on at 5 Elements Gallery, Detroit's cherished venue for anything Hip Hop-related, and a major outlet for people seeking to become connected with Detroit's arts community in a broader sense. Sicari Ware and Piper Carter have been the proprietors of the Michigan Avenue location since 2008, and their motivation has always been to bring together the local community, while helping to develop a positive identity for Detroit artists.

Here is the press release for their "50 for 5E" which is going down May 15th at the Gallery, one of the last events to take place at the Michigan Avenue location, sponsored by emcee Invincible's Emergence Music. 5 E Gallery will continue to run, however, a new location is required. Someone has purchased the Michigan Ave. building, and the gallery's new spot needs a little sprucing up.

From Piper Carter: "Our event, $50 for 5 E, is only 2 weeks away! We sure could use help letting people know about it because while we have the venue & Detroit's Best Artists, we need supporters, & prospective bidders!

The event is the perfect occasion for Metro Detroit art lovers to come purchase a unique gift or collection item and support a worthwhile cause at the same time.

Another wonderfully amazing aspect to this event is that Phil Cooley (The owner of Slow's BBQ) has organized a community clean up on the same day from 9am-5pm. He has gathered 20 contractors to offer their services for free to help gut & clean & repair the new space."

The event features 50 Detroit Artists performing over 12 hours, and is a major fundraiser for the gallery's new venue.

Go to 5EGallery.org to learn more about how you can help out, and purchase tickets for an entire season of events happening at 5E.

Teleportouring Through Your Neighborhood!

2010-04-26T02:00:00.013-04:00

I am so glad to have been able to speak with such talented musicians! The Vantastic Teleportour's stop in Detroit is going to be amazing!
Bring your good hearts and let's dance. You can follow the tour's blog, they've only got two more stops before they're back to regular sleeping patterns, and Division Gallery is one of them!

Here's a little bit about the artists that I spoke with tonight on Minced Meat:
Kilowatts (Philadelphia) provides mellow, melodic, friendly sounds for minimal and ambient downtempo electronic idm fans, and folks who love to dance to stimulating beats!

Aligning Minds (Maryland via DC) are staples on any psychedelic-themed music festival's roster. They bring top end technology and sneak trippy frequencies in their live sets to stir the subconscious of unsuspecting listeners!

The Great Mundane brings young jazz-crunk, a fusion of hip hop beats that travel along electro's momentum. His new release Humdrum is available for download!

These artists have a great roster of labels behind them, many of which deserve a closer look. Check out Psymbolic, Aleph Zero and Native State's sister labels Somnia and Thoughtless Music to begin.

With Detroit's own Madis One releasing new music on Blank Artists soon, and E.Spleece and Perilelle constantly providing universal auditory pleasure, this lineup is certainly one for sore ears.

Here are the set times for the party:
Doors at 9pm
Kero Visuals - live video projections on multiple walls all night
Madis One - 9:30pm
E.Spleece & Perilelle - 10pm
The Great Mundane - 11pm
Aligning Minds - 12am
Kilowatts - 1am

I know you have to work early on Thursday, so the live music will be wrapped up by 2am. Get in on time or miss out!

You can find out more information and RSVP at the FB page, or check out the listing on Fusicology.com or DLuv.

Listen to what The Great Mundane, Mike from Aligning Minds and Kilowatts had to say about their adventures thus far, as well as some technological hints on what they'll use to deliver their live sets this Wednesday night.

New Single from LEO37 - Icarus

2010-04-23T18:01:00.010-04:00

Hey Readers,

I want to thank you for being so fly, firstly. Thank you!

Speaking of fly, Icarus is one of two brand new songs from LEO37, Toronto's worldly and ethereal emcee. The new single starts off with a sunny, funky jazz groove that sandwiches the second verse, backed by a bumping hip hop break provided by the live instrumentalists in The Worst Pop Band Ever. The song's lyrical and musical high is followed by an abrupt descent back into the main melody lead by more fat bass lines and mellow syncopated organ. This joint is a class act as it reads sort of like a sonnet and is themed after the ironic flight of one mythological Icarus, the young adventurist whose waxen wings melted when he flew to close to the sun.

Scoop both Icarus and Morning for free at LEO37's site.

I don't expect LEO37's wings to be melting anytime soon as he is about to embark on The Clipped Wings Tour which kicks off May 7th in Windsor at Phog Lounge with performances from LEO, Magnolius, Detroit's USM and Flow & Smooth.

Check out the Icarus promo vid:

And the original art ...

Don't miss LEO37 live in your backyard on tour, starting May 7 in Windsor.

Reflection Eternal WSG Street Justice, Danny Brown, Mobil & More April 25 @ The Crofoot

2010-04-21T14:40:00.011-04:00

Reflection Eternal (Talib Kweli and DJ Hi-Tek) are at the forefront of a powerful new version of Hip Hop music. To affirm this, catch them on stage April 25th with Detroit’s Danny Brown, Street Justice and Mobil for performances to satisfy all tastes, whether you’re a fan of late 90s backpacker wit, hard hitting street styles next to a cool vibe.

As a preview to their new approach and second full length Revolutions Per Minute, Reflection Eternal dropped the late 2009 single Just Begun. The lyrics magnify current social issues that attest to how Hi-Tek and Kweli evolve as stylistic innovators since their first release in 2000. With verses from current street savvy heavyweights J.Cole and Jay Electronica along with Mos Def, Just Begun appeals to new, young listeners using familiar sounds like looped horn samples from James Brown’s King Heroin. The song is a sample of what I think will be an injection of pop music's appeal into the intricate dialogue that Kweli has developed over the years with fans of his many projects, like Black Star with Mos Def, or Madlib on their collaborative Liberation.

Street Justice, known for appealing to both street and boom-bap palates, are gearing up to drop their upcoming releases Follow The Drip & GO H.A.A.M!, while Danny Brown’s latest release The Hybrid is also attracting a new heads yet repels any backpacker Hip Hop stigma. Though Mobil’s releases are few, his laid back attitude will help you ease into the intense atmosphere of this lineup. Mobil has just returned from NY where he and Danny Brown rocked live shows with their wizardly friend, Count Macula.

Mobil: Tesla, Basquiat, and Kim Kardashian.
Em: What would you ask them?
Mobil: I’d ask Basquiat about his TWA Airlines story and let Tesla chill. Me and Kim wouldn’t be talking much…

Mobil will be onstage with Reflection Eternal Sunday, April 25th at the Crofoot Ballroom in Pontiac, MI. Tickets are $20 in advance, doors at 8pm.

DJ Satta Don Dada - My Drink and My Two Step Mix

2010-04-15T14:26:00.007-04:00

Another mid-week treat for ya!

Detroit's Satta Don Dada made a special grimey two step mix for you hip hop heads. Should satisfy stomachs hungry for wobble bass and distorted quotes from rappers like Snoop Dogg, Lil Wayne and Mobb Deep, with the sweetest samples right in the middle. Listen for what he does to Eminem's vocal track. Man, this is one dirty mix. It makes minced meat outta popular rap.

Grab it for yourself, for free, and thank Satta Don Dada.
http://www.sendspace.com/file/atbanx

He'll be on the decks at Ashely's Pub in Ann Arbor every Thursday around midnight if you're down.
Click here for details on the event.

Here's the track list for the mix. Explore this one.

New Album + Download from The Great Mundane - Humdrum

2010-04-06T01:44:00.006-04:00

Despite the artist's name and the album's title, Jeffrey Acciaioli's tracks are anything but boring.

Teleporting from Portland via Chicago via Farmington Hills (he's a Michigan native), TGM's tracks prove to be fun, yet weighted on this his first solo debut full length, which the producer/engineer/DJ dubs a "10 track LP of Sparkling Jazz Crunk Trunk Rattlers."

Download the first single from the Run Riot Records release: Tremor Dancer. The track (and much of the album) combines "minimal techno elements and that new wonky hip hop sound" that is turning heads and tilting ears. Get it right here!

Catch The Great Mundane live in Detroit April 28th as part of The Vantastic Teleportour with Aligning Minds (Silver Springs, Maryland), Kilowatts (Philadelphia), E.Spleece (Detroit), Madis One (Detroit) and Perilelle (Windsor).
RSVP via Fusicology!

Thanks to Quelle for calling in to share his secrets and insights. He is a truly dynamic producer and emcee working among many top rank Detroit artists.

Because Sunday morning we travelled through time an hour into the future, CJAMs archives got a little mixed up.
The result for now is two .mp3s of Minced Meat inside CJAM's Sunday evening lineup. The first hour of Minced Meat is shared with Angela of Sunday Night Vision. Download or play the first half here.

The second half of Minced Meat with Quelle is available here, followed by an hour of KERO-FM.

Assorted Good Vol. 2 from Exchange Bureau Music

2010-03-08T23:18:00.021-05:00

Just in time to see them rock the Winter Music Conference in Miami, Detroit's Best Digital Record Label Exchange Bureau Music has just dropped their latest long-awaited compilation, Assorted Goods Volume 2.

Assorted Good Volume 1, released last year, is also an impressive display of innovative-sounding beats, comprised of hip hop blended with electro, next to classic techno beats and jazz-infused house tracks.

Assorted Good #2 maintains EXB's reputation of being quality music pushers. EXB has become my favourite label as they correctly connect hip hop with all types of electronic music and continue to shape the sound of fresh new music from Detroit by pairing cherished, well-known artists with emerging new talent. Take Jeremy 'Ayro' Ellis, Jah Connery and Detroit Hip Hop Legend Phat Kat (1st Down, anyone?) together on "Unlike Any Other" for example. Jaw-dropping.

Another admirable quality about Exchange Bureau Music is that they always include great analog instrumentalists like local bassist Mark Szymanski and percussionist Jared Sykes in their releases. It adds that special element of rawness, that proves Detroit artists have skills that should be respected... even feared.

E.Spleece and Perilelle also work beautifully together on "We Can't See," a song with truthful lyrics complimented by a happy hybrid of straight-up techno beneath heartbreakingly pretty vocal melodies.

[By the way: You will be able to catch E.Spleece and Perilelle LIVE together on Wednesday, May 5th 2010 at Division Gallery, 1353 Division in Eastern Market, Detroit. They're playing with The Great Mundane, Aligning Minds and Kilowatts, with visuals from Kero as part of the Vantastic Telepor Tour!]

More moving, soulful R&B fused with house and hip hop comes from both Clara Hill and Monica Blaire on two different tracks, the latter having collaborated with Frankie Bank$ for a masterpiece of healthy hip hop-funk on "Raspberries." Remember when Monica Blaire visited Minced Meat before she packed the Detroit Film Theatre at the DIA? Epic! Click the link and find Monica's on-air acapella!

New artists on the EXB roster include Akira Shelton (check out this track Akira produced for Cold Men Young's Kopelli!) and The Doms (emcees Yoshi & Rells), who bring a sexy 80s throwback feel with their track "Whatever Tonight."

You can preview the tracks by clicking their names. Be sure to hit up Josh and Paul, creators of the Exchange Bureau label at info@exchangebureaumusic.com to let them know how their excellent collection of music makes you feel! Stop by www.exchangebureaumusic.com to listen to more music from the amazing artists on their roster and don't forget to tune in to Minced Meat on Sunday night from 12-2AM on CJAM to hear these amazing new tracks in full.

Peep the full track list for EXB's Assorted Good Volume 2 below, which also features bonus tracks from the John Arnold Quartet and thrillseeker Andy Toth, who also mastered the compilation.

And that's only the tip of this iceberg of an album.

Exchange Bureau will be in Miami at Sunny Side Up on Thursday Mar 25th at 12:00PM
With Talent: Daz-I-Kue, Simbad, Exchange Bureau, Aklimatize, Yellowtail & Zhill, Erick Paredes & more...

FAM FESTIVAL Makes Top 40 List for Best Music Festival in Canada!

2010-02-18T11:03:00.011-05:00

Hello readers!

Let's celebrate! If you recall, Harvesting the F.A.M. Festival 2009 was a great success. It succeeded in bringing the community together for a great 3-day party filled with over 100 LOCAL collaborators in the name of Film, Art and Music (that's why we call it F.A.M.). Lots of connections and friendships were made. Murad (the festival's creator) and I worked our little tails off to make it happen with a hugely supportive tech crew, volunteer pool, appreciative audiences and top shelf performers, artists and filmmakers.

That was back in October. However, just last week, some very cool members of our tiny community (thanks Dan, Merry Ellen and Dave!) put us up as nominee for host Grant Lawrence and CBC Radio 3's Searchlight Contest for the Best Music Festival in Canada. Wow!!

Remember when Phog Lounge won the CBC Radio 3 Searchlight Contest for Best Live Music Venue in Canada?

Do you remember voting every day for weeks to see our little hometown stage get the praise it deserves? And then the giant summertime event "Phog Phest" with East Coast headliners Holy Fuck!? That was one of my favourite events of last year, a wonderful celebration that featured locals as well as nationally recognized musicians. Phog Lounge and our little downtown community is STILL buzzing from that high.

Guess what guys - we're not just 'chasing the dragon.' Murad and I have been Tweeting, Facebooking, phoning and emailing people about this amazing opportunity to get Windsor on the map ONCE AGAIN as a community that cares for and nurtures its creative class and maintain our reputation as a creative destination for great art and music.

Check out the great local music from FAM artists we have posted on our profile at the CBC Radio 3 website! This is a great way to get national attention to our local folk! I'm really excited about it! Can you tell?!

Join the Facebook Group for a daily reminder to vote for the FAM Fest. Tell your friends! You can also follow me and the FAM Fest on Twitter for reminders to vote!

New Video from MarvWon & Rio Data - Totally Awesome

2010-02-12T19:11:00.005-05:00

No lie. I love it when artists put out great music. Music with authenticity, properly coordinated with lyrics, flow and style. Love it. This track "Totally Awesome" comes from Marv Won's newest release, Wayne Fontes. It came out just last month (see previous post) and it happens to be my favorite track from the album, which you can scoop at www.marvwon.bandcamp.com.

And hey, I guess Marv will be creating albums to be named after all of Detroit's great sports legends. So look out!

Interview with Invincible + Dilla Dedication

2010-02-08T02:00:00.007-05:00

Check out The Revival at The Fembassy as directed by Invincible! She'll be rockin a Detroit Music Showcase at SXSW (check out her Sledgehammer vid featured there last year) in March with Emergence Music, as well as holding it down at The Foundation with Ma Dukes this Tuesday at Elements Gallery.

You can also catch her via Detroit Summer February 17th at Oakland University and keep an ear to the ground for a new album from her (hopefully soon!) with Wajeed. Stoked for that one!

Props on a great interview. And great tracks!

No wonder. J Dilla's legacy is now stronger than ever. I have discovered that the more people find out about his contributions to Hip Hop musically, the more people's minds are changed about what Hip Hop is. It helps that his colleagues and contemporaries do not cease to impress listeners, having absorbed some part of the man's music that spoke to them, and injecting that into their own styles... and building up a higher standard for music-making in this age of the producer. I think it's sweet that artists still rock his beats, I plan to explore more of them and continue to play definitive local music. Help support a real movement towards musical health by clicking on the links. Ma Dukes is running www.J-Dilla.com so drop by.

[Bright] Kadence Interview

2010-01-25T02:02:00.006-05:00

Kadence, as he is quite amazing in many ways. He uses his lyrical talents to inform you - the listener - and give you fuel to fight against the ever-imposing powers that take away from natural human evolution, that force people to think that feeling alienated is natural. He makes a lot of sense out of this musical landscape. I wish we'd had time to talk about the concept of "real" on the air, a metaphysical concept that pretends to be manifested in a social group. Well, that's sort of my take on his explanation. Really, everything is subjective anyway, so leave your opinion in the comments.

Let's add a little taste of Bay Area to the selectronics today.

These emcees went to Yale. So I guess that's why they're partially smart... haha. I first heard about these guys via RCRDLBL.COM back in 2008, I think this was their first single!

They have an EP that goes by the same name, and mess with folks like Mochipet & Subtitle out there near the Pacific.

The video is set in L.A. and features characters from the web series "TXT M3 B1TCH."

Click here to watch the video in it's full glory on youtube. Or just click fullscreen.

As a special treat I have uploaded my favourite track from these malicious men. It's called Sorta Sad When You See 'Em and comes from my favourite of their EP's entitled SPLIT. Grab It!

Gleaners Benefit Show 2.0 - January 16th - The Belmont - $6

2010-01-08T20:57:00.005-05:00

Once a year, well, probably more than once a year, this lovely lady by the name of Sarah Aldridge reaches out to the people in her community. This time it's to put together one whopper of a show to benefit Gleaners, a reputable, nation-wide organization that helps folks in the Detroit area keep food in their bellies.

From the Press Release:
"In these times of economic uncertainty there are a plethora of non-profit organizations that enrich our communities that, due to drastic cuts in funding, are unable to provide programs and services they once have. Now, non-profit organizations are working even harder to keep their doors open. Such is the case with Metro Detroit’s Gleaners Community Food Bank. Gleaners nourishes communities by not only feeding them, but educating individuals through a number of informative programs. As a community, Detroit and its surrounding cities cannot afford to have Gleaners cut programming or their ability to provide almost 65,000 meals per day!

"On Saturday, January 16th, eight of Metro Detroit’s most talented bands and emcees are joining efforts at Hamtramck’s Belmont to raise funds for this incredible, local non-profit organization. From hip-hop to alternative country to rock, the night offers a little something for every discerning musical taste. For only 6 dollars, (that’s less than a dollar a band) Metro Detroiters can inexpensively have a night out on the town as well as support Gleaners. So, for every admission, show goers will be providing 18 meals for hungry Metro Detroiters! In addition, this event is sponsored by Russell Street Deli. In 2009, this local eatery raised almost $10,000 for the food bank with the help of its customers.

"All proceeds from the show will go to Gleaners to ensure their doors remain open for many, many years to come. By joining together as a community and attending the concert, individuals are not only helping Gleaners raise money, but ensuring the community reaches its highest potential."

Monica Blaire on Minced Meat 1/03/2010

2010-01-01T16:50:00.011-05:00

For the first interview of the New Year (Happy New Decade!) I'll be hosting an interview with none other than Detroit's Queen of Hip Hop, Monica Blaire. I remember when K-Fresh first introduced me to her as just that, it was at TV Bar in winter of '08 on a Stoopidfresh Tuesday. It was right after I heard the first track I'd heard her on, it was a Radiohead - Knives Out - as produced by Wajeed. I've heard lots more since then, one of my favourite tracks is "Hey Hoe" with Guilty. That hook gets stuck in my head...
Monica has seen a lot of success in 2009, and it's because she keeps it movin'. (See previous post) She recently performed at the Quest For A Cure Benefit Concert @ Saint Andrews with Stretch Money +. We'll be talking about her upcoming performance presented by the Detroit Institute of Arts: The Monica Blaire Experiment will be held at the Detroit Film Theatre within the DIA, and will feature other performances by Ro Spit, Jon Bibbs, the legendary Ortheia Barnes and Marv Won (more about Marv to come).

Check her out in the video WHAT I WANT released in 2006 on Silent Riot

Monica Blaire - WHAT I WANT
by boobsbaby

...and this one with Bizarre of D12, SO HARD

Immediately following Monica's performance at the DIA, you can catch her at The Shelter with friends DJ Phrikshun (aka Ro Spit), JWAN, Krack Diesel, Miz Korona and Danny Brown, who's album was set to drop today. More on that later (listen to the show this week). The party celebrates the release of the Wayne Fontes mixtape from Marv Won of the Fat Killahz (who just dropped The Way of the Won, get that here).

Check this one out from Marv, from his 2009 debut solo single, Stomp

Dont forget to show up to the shows!

Monica Blaire at the DIA - January 8th - Free

2009-12-26T10:32:00.003-05:00

from press release
"As a part of their continuing venue for great artists, celebrate the New Year at Friday Night Live! With The Monica Blaire Experiment!

"There is no more prestigious venue for performance in Detroit than the DIA; come start the New Year off right with Monica Blaire’s avante-garde sound experiment at DIA!

"Detroit, Michigan - Dynamic singer, Monica Blaire and the Detroit Institute of Art are collaborating for an evening in celebration of the art of sound. The two will merge for the second installment of Blaire’s avante-garde project: The Monica Blaire Experiment Bridging the Gap: Adventures in Sound Vol. 2.
"The DIA, an important cultural landmark in the city of Detroit, will be hosting the free event on January 8, 2010, at 7:00 PM featuring the progressive songstress, Monica Blaire. Her stage presence has always been unique and distinguished for its performance art leanings. This event, however, demarcates her conscious acknowledgement of the audience as participants and a galvanizing influence on her music. The Sound Experiment endeavors to bridge the gap between age demographics by creating a fun and highly interactive experience between Monica Blaire and her patrons.

"This show is innovative and refreshing. It boldly explores the sophisticated notion of the energizing effect an audience can have on an artist’s work and it is appropriate for all ages. Monica Blaire is interested in creating a symbiotic artistic atmosphere that softens the rigid line between performer and viewer. “When we blur the line true art is created,” says Blaire, effectively summarizing the mission of her work.

Special Guest Stars: Jon Bibbs, Marvwon, RoSpit, and the legendary Songstress…Ortheia Barnes!!!
Date: Friday, January 8, 2010
Time: 7pm & 8:30 pm performances
Venue: The Detroit Institute of Arts (DIA)
Admission: FREE !!!

The MonicaBlaire was recently described as:

“From Mozart to Mainstream, eclectic is the way to describe Blaire. Hip-Hop being the foundation that MonicaBlaire stands on creates and environment where classical, rock, soul, gospel, and funk playfully co-exist. Her sound is of early soul music, and inspired by an unconventional sense of rhythm and melodies, MonicaBlaire is more than an artist . . . she is an experience.” "

Ro Spit & Monica Blaire - Renaissance State of Mind

2009-12-11T19:56:00.013-05:00

Check out the new video from Ro Spit (also known as DJ Phrikshun of Subterraneous, aka Octane) and Detroit's Queen of Hip Hop, Monica Blaire. They've re-made the hit single "Empire State of Mind" from Jay-Z's The Blueprint 3 to fit the frame of the fine Motor City.

...Speaking of re-makes, Ro Spit aka Roland Coit's accolades go beyond just music. He was recently part of an ad contest held by Fortune Magazine designed to find an entrepeneur from the Detroit area that would help 're-brand' the City of Detroit, essentially sharing reasons why Detroit is an attractive urban destination for other entrepeneurs. His ad was all about making your own imprint on Detroit, a city that he refers to as a blank canvas. It's what's clever: Detroit truly is a mecca for innovative creativity, a perfect spot to try new things and stretch people's capacity for new and unordinary music, technology and ideas. Yeah he's from the 'Yac (Pontiac)... but it's Detroit that he represents, and he's doing a fine job of getting the national kind of attention that the city deserves, musically and otherwise.

Factoid: DBIT (Warp, Live Wire Records) of Rochester Hills recreated the entire beat from scratch for Ro & Monica's version. Original production credits go to Jay-Z & Co. but if it sounds familiar, it's because samples in the song are from "Love on a Two-Way Street" by The Moments and "The Breakthrough" by Isaac Hayes.

Download new The Ro-Spit Project here, and enjoy production/features from other locals such as 14KT, Big Tone, DL Jones, Marv Won and iLLite to name a few.

Big thanks to Cristina Naccaratto of Broken City Lab for snapping these fine shots.
The last (above) one is of the video provided by Citynoise, also part of BCL. She also brought footage of the construction of the Windsor/Detroit Tunnel in the 1930s.

Later on the screen at the back was used for some interactive visual graf, as provided by Furs, and inspired by the fine folks at Graffiti Research Lab. :D

December 4th at Division Street Boutique & Gallery

Join friends K-Fresh, Malik Alston, Jason Hogans and DJ Guy LaFleur Friday December 4th for a nice of great music by great people.

Here's a little bit about each artist:
K-Fresh: Detroit DJ (he spins everything from electro to hip hop to blues and jazz), music journalist and founder of RenaissanceSoul.com, the true original website dedicated to the life and work of James Yancey aka J Dilla. He knows all the secrets.

Jason Hogans/Medium Parnell/:brownstudy: The founder of Really Nice Recordings, your friend, an advocate for positive and healthy, the best emcee you need to hear if you haven't already. He makes his own beats, too, and works with the finest folks in town, as he has recently released tracks on the great new label Exchange Bureau Music, as well as Planet E (less recently).

DJ Guy LaFleur: No, not the hockey player, yet he's still sort of a mystery to me. Expect greatness in the form of House music. I think.

Malik Alston: From the Detroit live band Painted Pictures, as well as his own Truth Manifest, London's Third Ear and Ubiquity Records. From what I've heard of his stuff, Malik brings quality, deep house beats :)

See ya there!

100 Ways To Save The City Projection

2009-10-09T20:07:00.003-04:00

Just click the title of this post and know that it's easy to make things happen. You just have to cooperate, and show up!!!!!

Minced Meat Radio (that's really me, Emily Copeland, fellow lover of all things Detroit and resident of the crumbling Windsoria) with FAM FEST (the festival I work on with my partner in party Murad) and Broken City Lab (a cool crew of 20-something creative folk who make it their business to make things and make things happen) all got together on this one to brighten the night with positive messages.

It didn't cost anything (use what you already have! ask people for donations and help!) and it impacted people in a stimulating way. It was gratifying for the community -- not just one person -- which is how we can encourage people to try harder to get along in a place that is too quick to divide.

Enough poetry. Click the link and enjoy the pictured messages.

Free Applause

2009-10-06T16:02:00.003-04:00

Hey y'all,
I know it's been a minute but I wanted to quickly post this up for you!

Friends from Toronto Leo37 and Sunclef alongside PPF House have put their album Applause up for free download! It's some of the best hip hop & jazz, with prime cuts and live sampling I have heard out of TO in a while. Next to Magnolius, that is!

Download it here, and tell a friend to scoop it up too!

Stay tuned!

CJAM is moving to 99.1FM this Wednesday, October 8th!
