DJ is loaded term these days. The advent of new technology has allowed a broader array of people to claim the title DJ when in actuality many are just AI assisted music curators. DJ, producer, and scratch samurai D-Styles is cut from a different cloth. After honing his craft in the fertile crescent that was the Bay Area DJ scene of the 90's D-Styles has perfected and innovated the art of scratching. He has won international DJ competitions with the Invisibl Skratch Piklz and the Word Famous Beat Junkies but he is more musician than anything. Over the past 20+ years he has quietly amassed a healthy production catalogue including everything from ground breaking works of turntablism (peep 2002's Phantazmagorea album) to making beats for undergrounds stalwarts like Jihad The Roughneck and ascendant vangaurd-ian R.A.P. Ferreira. His immense talent is juxtaposed by his intense humility and everyday vibes. On the A side of the episode your humble host Demone Carter, David Ma, and Nate Leblanc talk about their bachelor pad horror stories and there favorite scratch choruses. On side B there is robust discussion about struggle meals and proper bachelor pad etiquette. This episode is a must listen for all DJ's and the people who love them.

The latest episode of the Burning Ambulance podcast features an interview with tuba player Bob Stewart.I have said all season long that we're going to be exploring a single subject for ten episodes, and that subject is fusion. But as I hope has become clear over the course of the five previous episodes, during which I interviewed techno pioneer Jeff Mills, drummer Lenny White, trumpeter Randy Brecker, pianist Cameron Graves, and guitarist Brandon Ross, most of whom come from different musical generations and are not peers, when I say the word fusion, I'm talking about a state of mind, not a style or a genre. It's not what you play, it's how you approach music-making.I understand that when most people hear the word fusion, they think of the big name bands from the 1970s: the Mahavishnu Orchestra, Return to Forever, and Weather Report. Those groups, and the Miles Davis bands from 1969 to 1975, and many other less immediately recognizable groups, all did a particular thing, playing extremely complex music that blurred the lines between progressive rock and jazz. We talked about those acts in the second and third episodes this season, with Lenny White and Randy Brecker, both of whom were around then and were actively participating in making some of that music.If you think of fusion as a mindset, though, rather than a style, the discussion gets a lot more interesting. And that's really how I prefer to think about it. Because the people who fall into the latter category are the ones who I find to be the most interesting, and the ones who are more likely to have careers where almost every record they play on is at least worth hearing, worth giving a chance. You may not like all of it. But they're creative enough that they've earned the benefit of the doubt.A perfect example of this is Bill Laswell, the bassist and producer. He doesn't use the term fusion. He calls what he does “collision music,” bringing together players from wildly disparate areas — stylistic areas, and literal geographical ones, putting African players together with guys from Southeast Asia and New York rock artists and whoever else he thinks has something to say — and seeing what comes out when they all work together toward a common goal. And sometimes you get something glorious, that you never could have predicted or imagined beforehand. Like pairing Pharoah Sanders with a troupe of Gnawa musicians from North Africa. Or putting improvising guitarist Derek Bailey together with drummer Jack DeJohnette, DJ Disk from the Invisibl Skratch Piklz, and Laswell himself on bass. I heard a recording of that group just a few days ago, and you might not expect it to work, but it really, really did.Bob Stewart is a fusion artist in that he takes an instrument that has had a relatively low profile in jazz for decades — the tuba — and created a variety of fascinating contexts for it. Not only on his own albums, but particularly in partnership with the late alto saxophonist Arthur Blythe. They began working together in the early 1970s, and Stewart's playing on some of Blythe's albums, most notably Bush Baby, where it's just the two of them and a percussionist, and on Lenox Avenue Breakdown and Illusions, where they had some incredible bands that included at different times James “Blood” Ulmer on guitar, Cecil McBee on bass, Jack DeJohnette on drums, James Newton on flute, and Abdul Wadud on cello. On the album Blythe Spirit, Blythe and Stewart record a version of the spiritual “Just A Closer Walk With Thee,” with Amina Claudine Myers on organ, that's absolutely amazing. We talk about that piece a little bit in this interview.He's worked with a lot of other artists over the course of his career, too, including Charles Mingus, McCoy Tyner, Carla Bley, Gil Evans, the Jazz Composers Orchestra, Bill Frisell, the David Murray Big Band, Lester Bowie's Brass Fantasy, and on and on. The reason he's able to do so many different things is that his approach to the tuba is really expansive, conceptually speaking. He treats it as much more than a substitute bass. He understands its full range, and the subtleties it's capable of expressing, and he uses it in ways lots of other people would never even think of. On his own albums First Line, Then & Now, and Connections — Mind the Gap, he puts together really unorthodox collections of personnel. For example on Then & Now, which was originally released in 1996 but just recently popped up on Bandcamp, some of the tracks feature two trumpets, trombone, French horn, and drums, while another is a duo with pianist Dave Burrell, and others have trumpet, alto sax, guitar, and drums. And Connections — Mind the Gap, which is from 2014, features tuba, guitar and drums, with trumpet and trombone on two tracks, but then on five others it's the core trio plus a string quartet. Now that's very much a kind of fusion — jazz which is already in an avant-garde zone, combined with chamber music.Bob Stewart is a fascinating guy, an endlessly creative spirit who has done a tremendous amount to change the image of his instrument in order to pave the way for guys like Theon Cross, who plays tuba with Sons of Kemet, or with Jose Davila, who plays with Henry Threadgill's Zooid. I really enjoyed this conversation, and I hope you enjoy listening to it.Music in this episode:Bob Stewart, “Bush Baby” (Connections – Mind The Gap)Arthur Blythe, “Lenox Avenue Breakdown” (Lenox Avenue Breakdown)Bob Stewart, “The Rambler” (from Then & Now)

SHOW NOTES COMING. TRANSCRIPTION BELOW. A Special Message for you from Co-Producer diamondseed: It’s a part of our mandate here at Aspirin Regimen to chase away the fears and tears of the election year and it just so happens to be our first year anniversary! So in the midst of what may seem like disaster ahead you, raise a glass along with us and remember the best is yet to come. I want to give a shout out to our long time listeners, guests and contributors. Extra special thanks goes out to The Captain of this jalopy, DJ Green Arrow, who assembled this team into a smooth, funky, informative machine. ------- Chase Sample : ohh you got me Gucci, baby? Sound collage intro, music cue Chase: Hi this is Co-Producers Chase Green Arrow: and Green Arrow We’ve got a lot on our schedule, and we wanted to break it down for you on this special Emergency Podcast Aspirin Regimen Podcast will be reacting to the election live, and releasing another Emergency Podcast on Nov 4. Early on Election Day, there’s gonna be a 3 1/2 hour interview with Turntablist Disk. As a founding member of the Invisibl Skratch Piklz, Disk has been an enormously influential DJ and is credited with inventing the 2 Click Orbit, the echo fade technique and the 2 Click Flare Lazer Orbit techniques. In addition to extensive hip hop work with the Piklz and others, Disk has collaborated with a wide variety of musicians working in other genres, including Herbie Hancock, Bill Laswell, Buckethead, Zakir Hussain, Mike Patton, Norah Jones, Flavor Flav, Rancid, and Jack DeJohnette. He has been involved in over seventy recordings, and has performed in over fifteen countries. We hope you binge-listen Aspirin Regimen while you vote. We’ll have about 8 or nine hours for you total. If you end up standing in a long long line, you’re covered. And then after you’ve consumed, you can join us as part of the audience on a special all-day marathon Zoom call. You’ll need a ticket for this event, but it’s free. Let us know if you want one. We have special invited guests, too. We will keep you up to date on everything that’s happening, and give you moment-by-moment coverage of the election as only we can offer. And we will break down a lot of the issues that are at stake, in detail. CHASE: Aspirin Regimen will always go down the rabbit hole of creativity, but we wanted to talk about 3 paths that we are encountering today. One path ahead of us leads to Donald Trump being elected. There’s another path next to it that heads to a future where Joe Biden is elected President. The third is the path we are on, and it’s influenced by the rest of rest of the world. To say where we are, it’s important to mention that the world is complex. Our path leads us to the rabbit hole of Creativity. We hope that it’s a rabbit hole that exists in a world where Donald Trump isn’t president. We feel with the climate catastrophe as it is, human survival is at stake. The path we are on isn’t about electoral politics. We feel that creativity in and of itself is a political act, and that to define politics as about Trump and Biden diminishes creative focus. In order to buy into the overimportance of the horse race between Democrats and Republicans in the 2020 election, we’d have to internalize the propaganda that says that politics is about casting a vote every four years. The choice is clear. We must elect Biden, as if the future of our dreams depend upon it. Our Visions of who we want to be as people and creative artists depends on us not being underwater. We resist the idea of clarifying too much as in “it’s not about Biden, it’s just about how the future is grim under Trump”. Aspirin Regimen’s path gets us to a rabbit hole of creativity, and if Trump is elected, we will still reach that good and true rabbit hole of creativity. If Aspirin Regimen ends up in a rabbit hole of creativity under a Biden administration, we will still be us, and there is a greater chance that we will avoid climate catastrophe. We don’t emphasize the logic behind our choice, although we sincerely hope Trump is defeated. By who is irrelevant in this election, and realistically it has to be Biden who will fill a seat that replaces Trump. We can only say this because of you, the listener... and we are happy to announce that Aspirin Regimen is one year old today! Next year, we hope to be celebrating our second birthday under a Biden administration. But we want to emphasize, politics isn’t about this election, or any. It’s about every day work towards making the world the way you want it. We feel that to focus on elections is going to make people such as yourself, the listener, who have your own creative projects, feel as though your work isn’t good enough. We suggest you look at your own creativity like it’s a jalopy making a cross country trip. You’re driving a car from NY to California and you have to get there, you’re on a deadline. Well, you’d better know what to do if the jalopy breaks down when you’re in Arizona. Can you fix a flat? What if suddenly the steering wheel falls off, and you could go into the Grand Canyon? Politics is about knowing how to change that tire in your creative process. It’s about knowing what to do when your creative spark needs jumper cables. And more importantly than what to do, who to BE when you rejuvenate yourself after getting that jalopy a tune up. Everyone has the same God-given amount of power. It’s like a pie that is evenly divided among all humans... we all get the same size slice. Some people use their power more effectively than others. This can be seen as a definition of politics, though the first sentence of Aristotle’s “Politics” gives a good description of what Aspirin Regimen’s politics are all about: “As we see that every city is a society, and every society is established for some good purpose; for an apparent good is the spring of all human actions; it is evident that this is the principle upon which they are every one founded, and this is more especially true of that which has for its object the best possible, and is itself the most excellent, and comprehends all the rest.” We want you to be able to find the seeds of your creativity within you and through your process. This will always be true, no matter if we end up with Trump or Biden. We prefer Humanity to survive, and we want your creative work to be so strong. As Aristotle says, “for an apparent good is the spring of all actions.” Your inherent good is apparent to us, and the path we are on is gonna get us to the rabbit hole of creativity. So let’s go forward toward Aspirin Regimen’s SECOND ANNIVERSARY!!!! Before we say goodbye, I just want to say that the music for this episode... you know, THIS music... was produced by Mr. Funkee.

Darius introduces Emma to the world of scratch DJing, a 90s music scene replete with creatively spelled names (Invisibl Skratch Piklz, anyone?) but even more creative use of turntables and vinyl records. We go on a journey through the history and origins of the scene, and Darius explains a few crucial techniques, from the 'Flare Scratch' to using your turntable 'Hamster Style'. We look at the technical innovations that emerged from the scene, and listen to some seriously ambitious tracks along the way, causing Emma to experience many feelings about the work of virtuoso DJ Kid Koala. Links: Kool Herc's beat-juggling technique, Invisible Skratch Piklz vs Da Klamz Uv Deth scratch battle, Amar Ediriwira's Brief History of Turntablism, the 'baby scratch' technique, the 'forward scratch', a history of 'hamster style' and some more advanced techniques from DJ QBert .

It's exactly a year today, we debuted our Take It Personal show and here we are with Episode 17. This is the final installment of our West Coast Classics series.

This week the crew welcomes DJ Still Life, creator of Str8 West Coastin, a West Coast hip-hop party hosted in Brooklyn every summer. We talk about how Still Life got started DJing in California, and how legendary crews like the Beat Junkies and Invisibl Skratch Piklz inspired him. Then we switch gears to discuss his experiences DJing in NYC over the last decade. We get into minutiae of planning and hosting your own party, including how to find the right venue, dealing with food vendors, the role of marketing/advertising, and finding the right mix of music, vibes, and frequency that can help make the party a success. If you are in Brooklyn on Saturday, August 19, drop by Project Parlor in Bed-Stuy for the final Str8 West Coastin party of the summer.

What is the role of the deejay in shaping hip-hop? Did deejays shape the technology that is used to create the music or were they simply consumers of mixers, faders, and microphones? What is the relationship between deejays and the manufacturers that produced the technology that made hip-hop possible? Andre Sirois explores these questions in his book, Hip-Hop DJs and the Evolution of Technology: Cultural Exchange, Innovation, and Democratization (which can be downloaded for free here). Sirois is both a scholar and a deejay, and his book brings academic discourse into dialogue with working deejays. Hip-Hop DJs and the Evolution of Technology (Peter Lang, 2016) draws on extensive interviews with the deejays that have shaped hip-hop and the technology manufacturers who made the products behind the deejays. The podcast covers the history of deejays, examining the three legends that are considered the founders of hip-hop: DJ Kool Herc, Afrika Bambaataa, and Grandmaster Flash. He looks at how they transformed the role of the deejay through their digging in the crates, the development of deejaying techniques, and how they developed a collaborative ethos among deejays even as they sought to develop their own reputations. Then, Sirois explores other deejays, such as DJ Trix, DJ Craze, the Scratch Hamsters, and the Invisibl Skratch Piklz, who worked with manufacturers, including Vestax and Rane, to produce signature mixers and other equipment. (You can view Sirois’s collection of vintage mixers at djpedia). The podcast also examines the complicated ways that deejays and manufacturers worked together even though few deejays received significant economic benefit from these collaborations. Dr. Andre Sirois, also known as DJ food stamp, is an instructor at the University of Oregon, where he teaches courses on filmmaking and popular culture in the media. He has over 17 years experience as a hip-hop, scratch, club, and radio DJ. His scratches have been featured on numerous artists songs, including the gold-selling single by Spose, “I’m Awesome.” He is one of the founders of DJistory/DJpedia, a non-profit organization and archive dedicated to preserving and telling histories of DJ technology and culture. Richard Schur, Drury University professor of English and Director of the Honors Program, is the host for this podcast. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

What is the role of the deejay in shaping hip-hop? Did deejays shape the technology that is used to create the music or were they simply consumers of mixers, faders, and microphones? What is the relationship between deejays and the manufacturers that produced the technology that made hip-hop possible? Andre Sirois explores these questions in his book, Hip-Hop DJs and the Evolution of Technology: Cultural Exchange, Innovation, and Democratization (which can be downloaded for free here). Sirois is both a scholar and a deejay, and his book brings academic discourse into dialogue with working deejays. Hip-Hop DJs and the Evolution of Technology (Peter Lang, 2016) draws on extensive interviews with the deejays that have shaped hip-hop and the technology manufacturers who made the products behind the deejays. The podcast covers the history of deejays, examining the three legends that are considered the founders of hip-hop: DJ Kool Herc, Afrika Bambaataa, and Grandmaster Flash. He looks at how they transformed the role of the deejay through their digging in the crates, the development of deejaying techniques, and how they developed a collaborative ethos among deejays even as they sought to develop their own reputations. Then, Sirois explores other deejays, such as DJ Trix, DJ Craze, the Scratch Hamsters, and the Invisibl Skratch Piklz, who worked with manufacturers, including Vestax and Rane, to produce signature mixers and other equipment. (You can view Sirois’s collection of vintage mixers at djpedia). The podcast also examines the complicated ways that deejays and manufacturers worked together even though few deejays received significant economic benefit from these collaborations. Dr. Andre Sirois, also known as DJ food stamp, is an instructor at the University of Oregon, where he teaches courses on filmmaking and popular culture in the media. He has over 17 years experience as a hip-hop, scratch, club, and radio DJ. His scratches have been featured on numerous artists songs, including the gold-selling single by Spose, “I’m Awesome.” He is one of the founders of DJistory/DJpedia, a non-profit organization and archive dedicated to preserving and telling histories of DJ technology and culture.

Каждый четверг с 21.00 до 22.00 на DFM радио-шоу «Gazgolder Live»

BANG! @southernvangard #radio presents @dj-rob-swift @brolicarm ROB SWIFT interview session! The Queens DJ legend has a new album dropping very soon, and recently launched a Kickstarter campaign to get it down the home stretch. "X-Files: Lost & Deleted” will be Rob’s first album in 6 years, so we sat down to have a chat with him about it, among other things. Rob recounts his first meetings with some of Queens’ finest - Large Professor & Dr. Butcher, as well as the influence his father and older brother had on him growing up in Jackson Heights - which led way to Rob’s DJ/producer/teacher/professor/historian career path. Rob breaks down his recent musings on Grandmaster Flash - and why he feels it’s our duty to speak up when Hip-Hop history is incorrectly revised - even when it may mean course-correcting its elders & pioneers. On some local GA ish - we recount Rob’s appearance at the Savannah Jazz Festival in 2008 and how his relationship with Bob James developed, as well as Rob’s view on the Bob James / Madlib lawsuit. Of course we dredge up some good mid-to-late 90’s stories, like his appearance at the 1995 US DMC Finals with Roc Raida, the introduction and subsequent induction into the X-Men / X-ecutioners and some of Rob’s most memorable battles throughout his career, including the legendary X-men / Invisibl Skratch Piklz battle at Rocksteady in 1996! We keep giving ya’ll that real, please give back by supporting “X-Files: Lost & Deleted” @kickstarter today, the campaign ends June 15th! // southernvangard.com // @southernvangard on @soundcloud & @mixcloud // #hiphop #rap #DJ #mix #interviews #podcast #RIP #ROCRAIDA #ATL #QUEENS #WORLDWIDE
