Tripping Out

Xmas wishlist: (Book) How to Wreck a Nice Beach: From Stalin To Frampton To Bambaataa-The History of the Vocoder

Someone get me this book 4 xmas.

The history of the vocoder: how popular music hijacked the Pentagon's speech scrambling weapon
This is the story of how a military device became the robot voice of hip-hop and pop music. Though the vocoder, invented by Bell Labs in 1928, was designed to guard phones from eavesdroppers, it expanded beyond its original purpose and has since become widely used as a voice-altering tool for musicians. It has served both the Pentagon and the roller rink, a double agent of pop and espionage.

In How to Wreck a Nice Beach—from a mis-hearing of the vocoder-rendered phrase "how to recognize speech"—music journalist Dave Tompkins traces the history of electronic voices from Nazi research labs to Stalin's gulags, from the 1939 World's Fair to Hiroshima, from Manhattan nightclubs to the Muppets.

The result is an amazing chronicle of postwar music and culture, filled with unexpected and surprising encounters. We see the vocoder brush up against FDR, Solzhenitsyn, Stanley Kubrick, Stevie Wonder, JFK, Eisenhower, Neil Young, Kanye West, the Cylons, Walt Disney, Henry Kissinger, and Winston Churchill, who boomed, when vocoderized on V-E Day, "We must go off!" And now the device is a cell phone standard, allowing your voice to sound human.

From T-Mobile to T-Pain, How to Wreck a Nice Beach is a riveting saga of technology and culture, illuminating the work of some of music's most provocative innovators.

New Souls of Mischief!!!

SOM drops their new album tomorrow Dec.2 (their first in almost 10 years),featuring production from (whoa) Prince Paul and Domino..

from their website:


This is most eagerly awaited Souls of Mischief album ever! Montezuma's Revenge was created the old-fashioned way, with the MCs, A-Plus, Phesto, Opio & Tajai, and producers, Prince Paul & Domino, in the lab together from the beginning to the end of the recording process. "We rented a house" explains Opio. "Prince Paul came out, we had no distractions, we just did music every day. "It was cool" adds Tajai. "He had concepts, and it's good to have an outside perspective - it was a great process." The result is a cohesive, creative Hip Hop album, the kind of project you'd expect from veterans like Souls of Mischief under the auspices of a genius producer like Prince Paul. Souls first encountered Prince Paul while touring with A Tribe Called Quest and De La Soul back in the day. But it was on a more recent tour with Handsome Boy Modeling School that the seeds of this collaboration were planted. So what exactly is Montezuma's Revenge? Tajai comments, "We recorded the album on Montezuma Street." The final product features 18 tracks of the quality Hip Hop you've come to expect from Hieroglyphics, with cover art by esteemed illustrator Steve Lopez (famous for his illustrations of Erykah Badu and others). Of course there's more to the title than the location of the recording, Tajai says "The deeper meaning is this album will make you crap yourself."

Eat and Dig.

All in a day's work!

97' style- Pamilia D feat. Ill-J,Caliph8,Dash,Ali of BB Clan

Video of the 3rd single from Pamilia Dimagiba's "The Resistance" album, out now at all odyssey record bars..featuring their 90's hiphop contemporaries ILL-J, Caliph8, Ali, and Mc Dash produced by Dj Arbie1

Found: Dakila (self titled album)

Ok this one at first glance i thought it's a local band seeing the tagalog name and the filipino faces on the cover, but then i looked closer what's a brother doing on the right? Must be a 'gapo band, so i turned it over and then found out it's a U.S pressing. Some good stuff here, especially if you're into latin/rock stuff like Santana and El Chicano. I saw in some article that they're based in the Mission District in San Francisco, and still active in doing shows all over.

Here's something to get you through all this weather..Thanks to my Kamias hookup for this one.

New Digz! 45' stylee

Ok its been a while since i shared yall sumthing...still tryin to finish that new mixtape but for the meantime,let me share some new(but old) tunes i've excavated from the dusty garages of Metro Manila recently..this time we'll focus on some filipino 45' singles ressurrected for your eardrums..
Ok first off is an artist im really feeling at the moment, and been in steady rotation on my soul and funk sets..Her name is Helen Gamboa.She's a big moviestar back in the 60's and i've just found out that she released a lot of cool singles during that era. Here's one of her slower jams from back in the day..They dont arrange music like this no more so savor it. This one is arranged by D' Amarillo..No doubt the Don Sebesky or Richard Evans of the Philippine studio scene in the 60's and 70's.



Ok next up.Most probably know im also into obscure,cheese,but interesting tunes that never really got their proper shine during their era.. this one i bought it because of the title. "Walkie-Talkie love" is a disco pop (is that moog i hear?)ditty by Nimfa Aguilar.During the 70's they dont have sidekicks and iphones yet so all they have is a walkie talkie to communicate with..ya they probably brought it with them at the disco houses(no texting)..I love this track.



From Soul and Disco now we move to Jazz Fusion territory.. Most of my peeps laugh when they see my Ryan Cayabyab cd in the studio,like i've gone soft on my shit. But i tell em, "wat the funk u think Ryan is just good for Josh Groban and all them symphony shit?!!"Well Mr. C is also a good arranger-producer when he started out in the 70's, but then he made a lot of money so he forgot about his bellbottom roots and just switched onto forgettable stuff. This killer track is from the Pinoy Jazz album (1977-78)which was recently reissued.The intro alone is straight up cough-syrup soundtrack,wha the hell is a Telebong anyways?? Another Pinoy Jazz album came out,by Eddie Munji and these two records are one of the most seminal filipino records that came out in the 70's. ..So let's enjoy Ryan one more time as he goes Bob James style on this track.

Ok we got a couple of residencies this month at this new club in Timog QC called Buracroxy. The vibe is nice,just chillin type of scene with a steady supply of g.r.o walk ins haha..Every tuesdays we get down to funk,soul and hiphop with Soul'd Out!! feat. Selekters like Caliph8,Supreme Fist, Skin Kadafi and guest dj's!

Dj Ponga Remix! "Selfish" The Other Two

One of those remixes i do just for fun.Lets take it back to Equinox,Jaloux and Faces.90's is definitely my era so this is always included in my 90's set,but then the other younger cats coudnt get down to it so i decided to tweak it a lil bit...cut and paste style remix with the mpc going to sonar.with some missy accapelas to start it off..A little trivia on the group the other two, i just found out that they're members of New Order.Hence the cool synth sounds.

New Digi-single! '97 style remix- Pamilia D feat. ILL-J, Caliph8,Dash and Kemikal Ali

Here's our new digi-single ready for free download! Actually just thought of this last week while making the beat sta.rosa style.Was messing around with a soul record, not knowing it would come out like a beat from the 90s' era. So i textd up our contemporaries from the glory days of 90's lokal hiphop (Ill-j,Dash, Caliph and Ali) and asked if they be down to lay a quick verse for a remix of our 3rd single from the Resistance album, '97 style. Luckily they all dig the beat, and after a few bottles later,they got their verse down on the spot.

So here's our little ditty for one of the best years of our hiphop lives,where a job didnt matter as long u got transpo money,tims,first down jeans,a pager and your backpack to take u where u wanna go.

In memoriam-BEATS REVISITED

I've been busy the past few days moving out my stuff to my new studio in the province,which wasnt really easy coz it took me about 5 trips back and forth to transfer most of record collection to the new spot (that's about 15 crates of contraband), and the rest going to my studio in the city. While cleaning out my old spot i found an old beat tape, kinda takin me back to the realm of analog recording: beats going straight to the tape deck,vinyl overdubs and pause tapes. This beat tape is from way back 1997, when i was still using the Roland JS30 sampler(above). Couldnt afford an akai back then so i stucked with this machine, which is only a 2min sampler,4 tracks of recording,no quantize and no saving option. Which means everytime i turn it off all data is lost and im forced to do the same beat all over again. Here's some of the beats on that ol dusty tape.

"Cosmic Boyz"- ya u've heard the sample before but back then i wasnt really into chopping stuff. I've used all 4 tracks on the sampler so i did a one take overdub from the turntable straight to the the tape deck with the sampler.


"Chonam"- Mobb Deep was the shit back then,(remember Hell on Earth?), so the obligatory Queens banger beat.This is my era right here.RZA,HAVOC,MUGGS.


"Daigdig"- Before Kanye made it cool speeding up samples, producers like 4th disciple from the WU fam was spinning em like 45 style. Here's another hardcore banger ala early CNN. This one almost made it to the Down Earf album.


"Manila's finest 2"- one of my lost beats. The main sample was really slowed down to give that eerie feel, but i couldnt remember anymore the original sample i used for it. This beat is supposed to be on the Pamilia Dimagiba album but got lost along the way. Sorry PD.
