These cripsy beats are ripe with thumping funk and techno influences,
sample wizardry and daring shuffles. Composed with the help of unique
sound plugins which were especially programmed to measure Comfort Fit’s
needs and wishes, we think the chances aren’t bad that you’ll fall for
the unique sound signature, bounce and elegance of this tight Hip Hop
production.

Like the best mixtapes this thing plays strongly as a whole –
no matter if it’s about classic Jazz impressions (‘Miles of Smiles’),
Theo Parrish references (‘Take a Look’), Hip Hop bouncers (‘True Form’,
‘Hairy Crushed Nuts’, ‘The Hunt’), scarily deep intergalactic grooves
(‘Planetary Picknick’) or love themes (‘She Knows Me Now’), all the album
tracks are locked together closely an must be seen as a whole.

Skipping through this album is not allowed. ‘Forget and Remember’ is more
than just beat fodder for your next mixtape, “it’s a very personal diary of
mine. I feel music is my natural form of expression, not words”, as Comfort
Fit says. “It is very important for me to escape from the noise pollution of
the cities and from the media hypes going o­n. I’d rather create my own”.

Comfort Fit has been collecting synthesizers and records since a -very-
young age, even though his first Hip Hop beats are o­nly ten years old now.
His influences are different than the usual Jazz/Funk/Soul/Disco references
most Hiphop producers name. Comfort Fit’s Hip Hop is not just rooted in his
love for Jazz and Funk but especially in the Techno of the early 90s.

He decided to stop his DJ career a few years ago in order to concentrate
on the music production, but his DJ perspective o­n music is still present
in his beats. After all he’s been standing behind the turntables half of
his life now, having gained his first club residency and radio experiences
with merely 13 (!) years of age.

Alot has changed in Comfort Fit’s life since his first album ‘Museum’ was
released o­n Megahertz Records 2001. But despite all the action he has
managed to release some critically acclaimed Singles and EPs via Tokyo Dawn
Records, as well as remixes for Universal Jazz and other labels. His music
is now even being used in the TV commercials of a german automobile
corporation and a hitech firm, and his live acts, featuring a rap and
turntablism show and an interactive ‘Taste Test’ with his audience could
already be seen o­n MTV and Trace TV.

It’s Tokyo Dawn, so you know.
EAT THIS
RAW.

 DVD

Various/Project Blowed – 10th Anniversary (Project Blowed/Decon)

I’m not going to lie, I didn’t expect to like this CD, what with last years Good Brothers compilation being downright terrible. I mostly picked it up for the DVD, but ended up appreciating the music more. Sure there are some duds (and as usual when these dudes fall they fall flat o­n their face), but there are also a handful of classically awesome blowdian cuts. Aceyalone is still fairly invigorated after tearing up the Haiku D’etat album, Busdriver steals the show o­n almost second stringers like Cypher 7 and Otherwize who I’ve never paid much attention to have really stepped up their game. Early favorite cut is “Jazzy Girl”, where Mikah, Bus & Xololanxinxo do this two minute jazz riff that’s like “hot” 2005.

The DVD consists of a bunch of videos that most blowed heads have either seen (“Knownots”, “Mic Check”) or don’t really care about (that annoying Ab Rude song that’s in NBA 2k5), a pretty cool documentary of mostly the usual suspects doing the usual things, and some footage of the tenth anniversary show. I was hoping for some archival footage, but noooo… Anyway, the anniversary footage is mostly pretty corny. There’s a lot of self aggrandizing bullshit and hugging and whatnot, and seemed like the kind of thing that was more for the 20+ artists o­n stage than anyone in the audience. But it’s really worth it for two reasons – The Ellay Khule & Pterro Freestyle and Mikah’s live performance of the first verse of “Life/Death” , both o­n the DVD. Rifleman absolutely kills it, I think Khule’s going to absolutely blow some wigs back with his Califormula LP, which, according to the insert comes out next month. And Mikah’s, well Mikah. He kicks that already mind numbingly fast verse at double time (i think that makes double double time, or quadruple time, if we’re keeping score). via  http://www.cocaineblunts.com/blog/blog.html

MF Doom / King Gedorah
Doom?s career in hip hop goes right back to the early 90s when, known as Zev Love X, he was a central member of nu skool phenomenons KMD. Dropped by Elektra for refusing to change ?controversial? cover artwork, tragedy was heaped o­n top of disappointment when Zev Love?s brother and fellow band member, Subroc, was killed in a car accident. The young MC and producer vanished from the hip hop scene and was, to some extent, forgotten. In 1998, though, he re-emerged o­n Bobbito Garcia?s classic label Fondle ?Em as MF Doom and over the next few years cemented his place as o­ne of the most important names o­n the underground scene, “Operation: Doomsday” was hailed as a classic and KMD?s ?lost? album, “Black Bastards” finally saw the light of day. A generation of musicians have grown up in awe of him and he has since worked with everyone from Prefuse 73 to Madlib.
