The House List

Daniel Aged - one of this generations more innovative bassists just released his send solo full length project (between collaborations with Frank Ocean) titled You Are Protected By Silent Love, the follow-up to 2018's practically perfect self-titled debut. Daniel and his brother Andrew delicately carved out a pathway in reimagined of untangling genre constrictions through their band 'inc.' (or Teen Inc. or 'inc. no world'). Their 2013 'No World' LP accomplished what so many major label artist kill themselves to do, with effortless grace. I was the band's booking agent on and off for years and had the pleasure of coordinating many of their tours and shows. We catch up over the years in the convo, you can purchase and stream Daniel's fantastic solo work here: https://danielaged.bandcamp.com or https://www.danielaged.com. Opening song is "Whole Heart" (from his latest) and we close with "Hymn 2" the final song from inc. no world's 'As Light As Light' (2016).

SMK is a genius producer whose widespread and often hidden influence across underground and mainstream rap and r&b has yet to be fully documented. He produced the early seminal singles of Al Kapone and Indo & Lil Blunt's full-length for Luke Records and through his contributions to Devante Swing's Da Bassment Crew massively influenced a nascent Timbaland. He's known to be the hidden author of Tupac's "Bring Da Pain" beat and in that cut you can hear his signature psychedelia - interwoven bells in visceral syncopation over a foundation of kinetic bass. It was Jazze Pha and his Bar-Kay father who brought him from West Palm Beach to Memphis where his style exploded after being introduced to the local "Get Buck" dance and sound at Studio G on Beale St. He went on to become probably the most adept re-appropriator of the Triggaman bells on record. This mix spans at least 30 years of his career and features Skinny Pimp, Al Kapone, Indo G & Lil Blunt, Brother Marquis and many more. As many tracks come from digi-only SMK releases that omit vocalist credits, I just omitted all the credits. (Some of those tracks themselves omit the vocalists, e.g. instrumentals from King JC tapes). As for me, I'm a music/video/visual/word collage artist based in Ann Arbor, MI. I first got into thug rap from hearing "Ha" by Juvenile on the radio in Atlanta, then was introduced to bounce music via taped Q93 broadcasts when, in high school, I was in a band with Matt Miller, author of "Bounce: Rap Music and Local Identity in New Orleans" and director of "Ya Heard Me". Years later I continued the pursuit of underground southern rap through the blog "Twankle & Glisten", posting mixes there as "DJ Kid Slizzard", the last of which eventually reached you (and, amazingly, made money to feed Memphis's hungry) - DJ Kid Slizzard here is the track listing - please spread the word....

My man DJ Memphi$ Jone$ just delivered a hot and pipin' freshly cooked mix crossing all things FUNK. Quite literally it was delivered - in the mail on a compact disc - directly from one of the funkiest towns around: Memphis, TN. No, we won't let technology hold us back! The collection runs deep, he's been collecting incredible pieces of vinyl for years and years. I connected with him through Egon, and we did a very memorable night out there with Dam-Funk back in 2009. But my guy out in AZ named Smite was telling me about Chad's label Memphix Record label back in the 90's (look that one up too). He's a DJ, curator, collector and this mix is exactly what you need to enjoy the rest of the Summer with. Dig on this, pass it along to any Funk aficionados far and wide. If yr on IG - follow him @silkyvincent - he posts some dope records. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

College radio holds as special place in my heart. A non-commercial student run control room is my *happy place*. Records scribbled all over, racks of carts that haven't been touched in ages, dust balls floating while local rappers freestyle their asses off late at night to a captive audience usually sitting in cars, parking lots and living rooms drinking 40's and fingers crossed taping it all. At least that's my vision of it. This episode of the is an offering of just that from 25 years ago (original recorded on cassette). On September 21st 1995 from the campus of the University of Texas in Austin in broadcast studios of student radio station 91.7FM KVRX on it's greatest weekly export the House of Phat Beats show with Les aka DJ Lil Tiger and Kari Orr aka Koolaid. You may be wondering how I came to find this show and these guys, well I'm glad you asked. It's because of rec.music.hiphop an accent early-internet forum of many decades ago - Kari Orr was respected voice amongst a gaggle of angsty teenaged Rap opinion-havers while his partner in radio Les would post their radio show playlists weekly. Back then we all were eager students in the tape trade - largely informed by Stretch & Bobbito and The Wake Up Show among other hip-hop radio in major cities. Sharing joints especially if it was unknown, unreleased or rare. Show after show 'House of Phat Beats' were an exemplary example of this. On this recording we're blessed with an off the cuff freestyle appearance by Souls of Mischief, in Austin promoting their then sophomore album No Man's Land. Appearances by Tee Double, Mad One, among others! Listen to this like you would the radio in the mid 90's even if you weren't alive in the mid 90's. The volume jumps a bit up and down, stay close to the volume button aka knob. Most importantly, enjoy this letter from the old school, just for you. Les remembers "We had two turntables in the control room, but they were wired to run remotely through two channels on the large control board where we managed all the other machines (CD players, minidisc players, cart players, cassette decks). We had no DJ at the show. We just played tunes, and worked with what we had". I'll post the tracklist on my IG @culturama Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

This very special mix (recorded in '98/99 but never previously released) was done by Kevin Beacham (A.K.A DJ Nikoless) in his words "is definitely dedicated to the amazing, and what I feel are slept on skills of, the great Showbiz. His tracks were always raw and stripped down with banging drums and nice melodies. I've always considered him one of my all time favorites since early on in his career, so much respect and appreciation for years of dedication to the craft of quality beat making.

There is no denying the soulfully unflinching personal style Brand Nubian's songbook has made on folks, an impression whose message and lyrics from as far back as 1990 remain just as poignant, if not more today, that when they first were made. Close to being lost for good this episode is a recently re-discovered, never heard before live concert of Brand Nubian (as duo, Lord Jamar and Sadat X) with myself DJing in of all places: Bozeman, Montana, as of now, 14 years ago on: Oct 6th, 2006. A disposable-camera snapshot in time. 2006 was an at times frantic year for Sadat X and myself. My then record label Female Fun was forced to shutter after a once, albeit briefly fluid distribution abruptly stopped after that company filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Forcing me to release our follow up to the phenomenal Experience & Education on a onetime-only imprint I created named after X's onetime address, Riverside Drive Records. In Jan we toured Experience-material extensively in Europe (w/ Greg Nice and Ge-ology) once we returned we spent the next 6 months making Black October. So much so, that by that October - Sadat, Jamar and I were back on the road touring America's Northwestern saloons as Brand Nubian performing 2nd (In God We Trust) and 3rd (Everything Is Everything) album classics with bits of new material. The live show is raw, on fire, loose and amazing. This is essential listening for any fan of Brand Nubian. I'm so grateful I found the audio and can share it. We had a lot of fun back then, I got endless respect for Sadat, Jamar, Grand Puba and all the extended Nubian family I got to met and hang with during that era (Alamo, Mark Da Spark, Sincere, Stud, Starr (RIP)).

Recommended Usage: Respite. Chris 'Free The Robots' Alfaro created this rich vinyl mix about a week ago, that is a week before when I am uploading this, which is around Midnight between May 31 into June 1st 2020. From the get go you too may be asking just like the mix how you can't understand why the world world is pulling you, me, and everyone .. down. Take this and vibe, if there was a way to turn your off phone for a hour and still listen to this, I'd certainly suggest that. Go screenless. Get a blank page and get to work. Stare out into the sky alone on a roof, in a field, in an alley, towards water, towards something where you see no other human beings. Or run and lift, till you can't do no more push-ups. Smoke a huge blunt and pull the covers so far over your head the rest of the world will never be able to find you. But I can hopefully attempt to assure you that by the end of FTR's mix, you may have earned some new spectre of hope. Than apply that to helping someone, multiple that time and time again, while listening to this, and we just might some small semblance of progress as human kind. Learn more about your ad choices.

This is like that one scuffed unmarked cassette tape you got from the homie a long long time ago that made that move with you from your parents house to your first place and then that next one after you got dumped and then that time you drove cross country in your old Honda CR-V that still had the tape deck. You had the hand written tracklist at some point, when the homie gave it to you, but as you know that was long long gone. Probably still under the couch from your first apartment. Could but under the passenger seat. You had this back when you still smoked Bidi's and chipped away at the resin bowl when it played on the dust covered boombox out in the backyard. You washed the dishes with headphones on with this, probably mowed your lawn or shoveled some snow with the chord getting in the way. Remember the homie, Hemlock Ernst, he put you up on all types of unknown rappers. Dubs of dubs, surgically taking The Cuf, Darkleaf, Third Sight, The Nonce, Saafir and many of joints you and your other homies tried for years to find .. but this tape was the only place you heard it. Here it is again, friend.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

As I delve and deep dive into the archives, striving to perfect my podcast's milieu, I present the first of what hopefully may be a small mini-series of archival conversations by either myself or my peers - that I am simply calling 'Chronicles'. Today's show being the latter. From 1988 to 91 Jamieson Grillo hosted the 'Saturday Night Rap Devastation' show at WRBB 104.9FM at Northeastern University in Boston. During the quar' Jamieson and I were talking on the phone while he was going through boxes of old cassettes in his office, casually he noted a 1990 X-Clan interview he'd just discovered. I inquired and he then told me of his time chasing down live interviews to be broadcast on the radio. He then mentioned doing the same with KRS-One. Soon enough he digitized those cassettes, we checked them out and he agreed to allow me to host an episode where I share these with you. They are raw, of the moment, audio captured on the fly. At the time, Jamieson was just getting his start working in the music business. During this period, DJ Shame (later of Vinyl Reanimators) was the radio show's DJ, he would continue the show after Jamieson's eventual departure. I start the show with KRS-One and Jamieson, which was recorded at two different times, primarily on Tues Oct 9th, 1990. Part one was done as a phone interview from the studios of WRBB while part two was recorded live backstage at a club called The Channel (a famous spot in South Boston), shortly before KRS and D-Nice were to take the stage. I follow the KRS convo with an unreleased remix to “Dope Beat”, because he mentions it being the next single to the then brand new album Edutainment. Then, we have the X-Clan conversation which takes place backstage at a venue called the Hub Club in Downtown Boston on Mon, Oct 22nd 1990. It's an incredible snap shot of X-Clan fully intact who were promoting their indelible debut To The East, Blackwards. The interviewer is briefly joined by a friend who asks a few questions, as well. At a moment, the night manager of the club even attempt to kick them out near the end. I myself had a moment where I got to become friends with Professor X shortly before he passed away and gotta say, this was a pretty incredible artist. I met Brother J many years before that and have to say he has always been one of the great voices of the genre. Now, on this same very show was the iconic DJ Clark Kent which Jamieson recorded on the handheld as well, albeit briefly. I thought I'd include here. Now, the audio isn't the greatest but I have to thank Jerry Danielsen for his work editing and tweaking the sounds to make it better listen. The interviewer Jamieson would go on to intern for S.O.U.L. Records and then PWL and eventually Tommy Boy. I know him even more from his Redline distribution company that has released/distro many dope records and projects PLEASE visit his store and support: https://redlinemusicdistribution.bigcartel.com Learn more about your ad choices.

I'm going to say it now: this is *the* preeminent Hip-House mix! DJ Spinna produced this clean, thorough all-vinyl mix in Late 2003/Early 2004 for a short-lived but very cool Japanese boutique Tube Records that specialized in CD DJ-mixes. This was part of mix series Spinna did for the imprint, released on CDR in very limited batches now impossible to find both irl and online. Mine is boxed up in storage back East, same with Spinna's - but thankfully my old friend Mas Yamagata had it and ripped it including the artwork. The artwork was all done by hand by with pens/paints and layout by Forest Stearns, an old college buddy of mine who was a big part of the Humboldt art scene at the time. I can recall Spinna asking me if I knew any artists and Forest did a lot of live-art shows at hip-hop jams and from '04-'06 all in all we'd collaborate on 5 different mixes and covers called 'The Basement Archive Series'. Mas sent me the files from the original CDR which sequenced the DJ mix individually track per tracks (27 in total). I really wanted it to play as one continuous mix for the podcast so the homie Monk One aka Andrew Mason then offered to turn it into one long track, which is how you'll be enjoying it. I had to dig deep to ressurrect it and I know it'll be worth your time! This is super high energy 1990, 91 NYC club tunes. Mixed incredibly well on all records owned by DJ Spinna.

Originally broadcast on WYBC 94.3 FM on the campus of Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut on longtime DJ Juan Castillo's show - this is a round-table remembrance about the late great Steve 'Stezo' Williams. His sudden passing on April 29th hit the universal hip-hop community from out of nowhere, a truly sad lose. I felt particularly connected to his legacy as I worked on projects over many years between Chris Lowe and Dooley-O, some of his oldest friends. The audio here features Juan Castillo, Dooley-O, Chris Lowe, Superman J of Skinny Boys, Jim Slice, E and Lil E. They share stories and memories from a lifetime of experiences many of which start from childhood. It's a great look back on a kid growing up always thinking way ahead of the his time from fashion, style, to dancing, to music. This brings the casual listener who may only know Stezo's seminal debut to a personal account of much more than just that record. If you know a fan of Stezo's work please shoot them this convo. They will love it. Check out some cool obscure appearances on dooley-o.bandcamp.com - I urge you to check out not only his debut album but dig further to a lot of his songs and videos after that too. He dropped a lot of music over the years worth checking, loads of dope, fly shit. Enjoy and Rest Easy Stezo - Thank you for everything Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

This is a live board-recording of an all vinyl DJ Set from Thanksgiving Brown (pka Peter Agoston). The performance was done in one take with very little prep in front of a full house at the music venue Brooklyn Bowl on Tues, Jan 12th 2016 from exactly 8:30 to 9:30PM, opening up for RJD2. There are moments of pure delight as well as a couple of train wrecks and needle pops. This is not perfect by any means but it exists and I thought I'd share it. Especially because it was done in a room full of friends and strangers dancing and enjoying themselves. People were bowling, eating fried chicken, getting drunk as I prepared them for the headliner. I've never been the kind of DJ with an obsession on set-preparation, in later years I'd just grab and go (but that attitude has back-fired on me a few times!) Some folks spend days meticulously gathering records and fine tuning a pre-meditated set. I always found that kind of futile in the moment and noticed audiences reacted better to a DJ who was clearly thinking of their feet, making quick yet cool decisions. DJ's that would look up and make eye contact with the crowd, crack a smile, nod to a stranger. It's not that I'm taking requests but I'm also not icing out the crowd. You'll notice I'm not talking on the mic except to thank them at the end. They don't know me, I'm hear to throw joints at them. I arrived to the club solo, was on stage solo, hung out solo and bounced. My approach to this set was to play records that could universally appeal to just about *anyone (*this crowd wasn't a record-nerd audience whispering to each other about rare records, they were like college kids and couples and people that liked the Mad Men theme) .... and that a production-minded artist like RJD2 would appreciate. A proper warm-up with nothing too obscure or adventurous just feel good music. In DJing my comfort zone is a tight hour or so opening up for a bigger act on a bigger stage, I don't really need a 6 hour set in a tiny spot (although I can do that). Playing joint for joint and keeping it moving is my M.O.. I like getting busy, grabbing a drink. giving out some pounds and hugs, grabbing my always modest payment and disappearing into the night. Gonna go ahead an apologize for any SKIPS on the vinyl here, or any volume issues - this is an unmastered recording from the front of house board by the sound person with me DJing on music venue turntables using all Wax (which as we know can be unpredictable). It got that house-party whip appeal. Listening suggestion would be plugging your devise into home stereo and turning it up a bit or use headphones. I hope one day to create a new mix for my podcast.

Jaytram is like one of those dudes you'd meet backstage at a show at some club somewhere and be like - now, that is one cool cat. Jay's been drumming most all of his life, plus he makes dope beats. I've known Jay's live band work collaborations for Helado Negro, Yeasayer, Sinkane, along with his own solo work and killer improv styles. A North Carolina native, Jay has been living in Brooklyn for years. He's been DJing for most of that too - one of the cool, dark, loungey vibes in Bed Stuy, Fr. Greene and the like - Jay's tunes when DJing out are always really comforting, Funk-forward vibes. He is a Jazz cat with a Jazzy sensibility which comes across on this mix very well. One time we hung out Solange in Brooklyn well before she put any records out. I think this can work really well in hot, arid weather as well as grey, cloud-filled skies with particularly low pressure systems. On lockdown, this works great in headphones staring out the window or hooking up to the JBL's and playing at loud volumes like how I prefer.

Chris Greer aka DJ Mayonnaise who many will know from his early contributions to the inception of anticon and even was the collective label's first artist out with his solo production/mix album '55 Stories' in the first week of Jan 1999. He grew up with Alias and Tim Holland/Sole and has deep deep roots in the North Eastern Hip-Hop scene. Now check out Chris' all new production/mix just for the podcast, it's really represents the early anticon production ethos and soul very well, on top of dope selections of beats/other artists. A must listen for hardcore anticon heads just as much for regular listeners of the The House List. It's moody, dark, bruiting head nodders that if you've ever spent any time in Portland, Maine you'd fully get where the sound comes from. Hope you enjoy and please subscribe, spread the word. Besides Mayo's debut he also dropped a record in 2007 called 'Still Alive' definitely worth seeking out. He's also had the same haircut since I met him, 20 years ago.

Patrick Luca runs some incredibly cool record labels based out of the Canary Islands in Spain. Saft, Pulp, and Born. Actually, unrelated he put me on to an album I have listened to at this point nearly thousands of times Joan Bibiloni's 'Born' album. God, I love that album. I connected with Saft to coordinate a very cool EP series with Dam-Funk entitled Architecture. We did one in 2016 and a second in 2018. House-oriented Dam-Funk music, super dope. Anyway, he releases tons of high quality music. Great taste. He put together this all vinyl mix of 90's House selects. It is a journey, if you are stuck in your house right now this is what will get you up. Use this as a battery pack. It's uptempo and super soulful.

Cam has DJ'ed with some true titans of sound like Sir Norman Jay, John Morales, GE-OLOGY, Mase from De La, M-Phazes and many more.

Years ago on my old record label Female Fun, I dropped a mixtape from my friend Dooley O. It was called The Beat Segment. Now, the Beat Segment started as a cable access TV show or a VHS video magazine. Dooley has been involved in all things hip-hop from the jump - as a producer, rapper, DJ, graf artist and painter, videographer/director and more. He bleeds art. He has sick records and has been digging for years, way before it was ever even trendy. I asked him very nicely to produce an all new Beat Segment for the podcast and he obliged. I appreciate it and I think you're gonna like this. It's mad soulful, political, and just very timely. Listen to it when you bump it, some good records in there! Please send it to people into funk, soul, rare groove and all of that. Doesn't matter where they are or how old, just put them onto this. We need you the listener to help get the word out!! Be safe and ENJOY! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Early alumni of the show (episode 11!) Andrew Broder (aka Fog) created this therapeutic all vinyl mix just days ago exclusively for the House List and I gotta tell ya, it's a pleasant offering. Subtle, meditative and measured with a really unique crosshatch of genre and intention. This is a good one to get lost within. I'd recommend it for staring out of windows, going for short government mandated walks, resting, drawing, cooking, cleaning and just about anything else. Again, all mixed straight from Broder's vinyl collection in Minneapolis, MN. He has a vast catalog of amazing original music too - I highly recommend checking out - andrewbroder.bandcamp.com - and supporting or streaming his recent projects. If you may not be familiar at all with Broder's work - he has collaborated with the likes of Bon Ever, Serengeti, WHY?, Andrew Bird, Doseone, and many others. Learn more about your ad choices.

House List podcast alumni J-Zone is the latest on board for our ongoing DJ mix series and he brought those heaters. Zone has been making strides with his own Funk project The Du-Rites and continuously building his rep in the drumming world - and those influences are surely available in this mix. We get crackling drums and boppin' baselines of that 60s and early 70's soul and funk right here. This is that up in the morning motivation kind of mix, or that late night groove. It's a head nodder. Make sure that you go back to our original interview all the way back on Episode 57! Don't sleep on his original music (especially if you dig this kind of vibe) hit https://j-zone.bandcamp.com and drop a couple bucks!! Also, please do us a favor and help spread the word on this show. It is 200% word of mouth and I want you to send this link to any friends you may think dig!! I mean that. Thanks for listening!  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

A year ago I sat down with Peter Collins (aka Manifest) on episode 71 and re-traced his life story leading to a tumultuous head with an ill fated Northern California casino robbery in the Fall of 2006. Pete went on the lam until being apprehended in Washington state some months later. This - as the previous episode - is meant to be a cautionary tale of what can go wrong when a person finds themselves at the end of their rope. Now days he can sagely reflect on the untimely decisions made by a man in the throws of addiction. Today he is a well adjusted member of society, doing well. I highly recommend going back to our first conversation (also recorded in Oakland, Calif) on episode 71 to get the full scope. Shout out to DJ CJ. Thanks for listening!

On 'Life of the Party' she uses the modern fixation of so-called "true crime" as a devise to examine how and why it is, what it is. Pretty fascinating stuff.

The last time I saw Dax Pierson he was on tour with Subtle in support of their genre-defying debut album 'The New White'. I booked them a show at an all ages DIY venue inside of an old schoolhouse by the beach in Manila, California. After the show, we made the 5 minute drive to Arcata and they slept on my floor. On the verge of making major artistic strides. That was in November of 2004. In 2005, while on another tour, driving on I-80 in Iowa, Subtle's 15 passenger Ford van hit a patch a black ice, lost control, flipped and Pierson's seat became dislodged. From this near fatal tragedy, Dax's spinal injuries rendered him quadriplegia. Our conversation took place in his home studio in North Oakland. We talked the past, present and future. We share some commonalities in our health situations. He was very generous with his time. Dax just released a brand new project, his first in many years titled 'Live In Oakland' on Ratskin Records.

We're back in effect, catching up with globe hoping producer/performer Onra during an off day on tour while in LA. Onra and I go way back. Our conversation serves as a proper catch up as we discuss some of the benchmarks from his career thus far. Over the last year Onra started up his own imprint as well, Nothing But Net, part of the reason he is on tour right now. Felt good catching up with an old friend but also to get a new episode out.

Group Home's debut album Livin' Proof is an impenetrable piece of street art. From DJ Premier's production, Danny Hasting's photographic layout to the gruff and honest vocals by Lil Dap and Melachi The Nutcracker. It isn't their only album though, I truly enjoy revisiting 1999's A Tear For The Ghetto as well. Last year they dropped the LP Forever and off the record, I know they have some big stuff coming soon. This is the last convo recorded at my old Brooklyn apt / studio. Hope you enjoy, please subscribe and spread the word.

This was the last podcast conversation recorded in my old Brooklyn apt, where the vast majority of all previous episodes have been recorded. It is an epic one. Breezly Brewin hasn't really had a long form interview like this on record, so it was fantastic to hear about his life and his journey into music. Now, a full time school teacher, Breeze grew up in the Bronx. We talk a lot about his childhood, playing basketball and how (like a few other of our most epic talks) Pete Nice helped him early on in his career. The Juggaknots (his group with brother, and sister) never really get their proper due, so I truly enjoyed digging our heels into the writing process of their seminal 1996 debut. The guy is extremely talented as a song / poem writer. Hope you enjoy this one and please subscribe and share feely. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

I've know Tony for years! He designed memorable album covers for releases on my old labels, namely Sadat X's 'Black October' and J. Rawl's 'Histories Greatest Battles'. He's also designed numerous show flyers for me. Recently, he has been focusing his creative attention on his single-panel comic @mywingman - in this convo we shoot to gift about the comic's evolution as well as toss around some quick ruminations about the House List. I recorded this as I was packing up my apartment in Brooklyn this Winter, preparing for a cross country move to LA (which I am currently writing this bio). Enjoy!

This episode is culled from an old cassette I discovered, where in 2001 (I believe) I interview Brendon 'Alias' Whitney from the Anticon collective. On the same tape were conversations with Doseone and Sole, but I wanted to share this. It was recorded on the phone as part of a larger story, although I don't recall where I wrote the piece for. Alias was in Oakland at the time. It's short but a great snap-shot of time.

Longtime DJ for Big Daddy Kane, we run down in detail the makings of almost all of Kane's albums, from the perspective of the DJ. This actually is dedicated to all the DJ's out there, in fact. Mister Cee also played a huge roll in helping Notorious BIG on the outset of his career, he shares some great stories of his times with Biggie as well.

We've made it to 100 episodes! Thank you everyone. I wanted to do something extra special for the heads on this one - so who better than DOOM. Culled from a handful of conversations recorded onto cassette, MF DOOM and I discuss the then unreleased and to me, unheard, 'MM FOOD' album. This was originally recorded in May 2003 for an expansive cover-story I wrote on DOOM for Elemental Magazine. But ... just let the convo really do the talking here. The written-piece was a broad take on his life and work, where I interviewed many of his then collaborators. Like most of my work, I carefully archived the tapes with the hopes to one day revisit. Well, 16 years later I did just that. Digitizing the tapes at DiJiFi in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. Josh Berg who engineered/mixed our Alias tribute show was brought in to lend his talents to bringing these tapes to life. After listening to these again, there is no doubt in my mind how talented, intuitive and inventive DOOM is. It of course goes without saying, but I do feel like these chats I had with him shed much more light on how he willed some of the best hip-hop music of the last 20 years out of sheer desire to create, if even sometimes under a state of duress. A master collage-artist, poet, author, satirist, DJ, producer, performer. I truly hope this episode (like them all) will serve as a living document to his great accomplishments in music and art. I am appreciative of the time we had recording these and the few musical collaborations we did some 20 years ago now. Hey, what can I say, it's out 100TH EPISODE! Thank you to all the listeners as this is fully listener supported. Links: https://www.gasdrawls.com https://www.instagram.com/gasdrawls "MM..

We've made it to 99 episodes (!) and what a better way to hit that mark then with an EXTRA special conversation, only available on The House List. So who better to sit down with than the highly revered yet largely unknown Godfather Don. In what marks his first real, long-form interview - Don is extremely cool, affable and open. And that was mostly talking about music (we hoped and plan to get a more esoteric, next time)! He has been a personal favorite of mine for a long time. A lifetime resident of Brooklyn, we discuss it all. Picking up a guitar as a small child, to making beat-tapes with a guitar pedal. Many where introduced to Don's seminal work on Ultramagnetic MC's 'Four Horsemen' (Wild Pitch 1993) album, others with his actual debut 'Hazardous' (Select 1991). He had a prolific run doing the indie/underground boom between labels Fondle Em and Hydra, which resonates widely to this day (seen in the many limited reissues of his work). Yet all the while, Don has seemingly been shrouded in mystery. Now, Don is a actively performing Tenor Sax player around BK. He's recorded a new Jazz project, I saw him play - he's amazing. It's a fantastic transition into a different musical horizon. I highly suggest watching or listening, when you have the ability. I am needing to get our SoundCloud page to 100,000 streams - so please listen to this over and over and share/repost where you can! Thank you for supporting!
