The feast is almost here! It won't be ham hock and artichokes though.

The feast is almost here! It won't be a ham hock and artichokes though. Sorry.

I had to push back the release of “digitalflood Pirate Radio Volume 5 Episode 3 – The 2009 Beat Feast” to tomorrow (12/6/09). The actual live mixtape session is all recorded and finalized. I’m putting on the final post-production touches. The overall mix is heavy on hip hop, but you will find some classic gems and even a metal song or two thrown in for fun. Total run time is over one and half hours of absolute non-stop music. My right arm was pretty fatigued after the DJ mixing portion of the session and I had to give up after a half hour of post-production work (putting me at about 65% complete). I’m feeling better though today and should be able to bang out the final mix by tomorrow afternoon at the latest. Keep your eyes peeled for it!

Also, I joined the Hot97 forum called “Who’s Next Online?“. Hot97 is a radio station (WQHT – 92.3 FM) out of New York City known for its mainstay presence in the East Coast (and worldwide) hip hop and rap scene. It’s arguably the center of the music scene for the urban Northeast US scene and my personal favorite radio station. You can find our profile (which has been pursued by a about twelve people at this point) at: http://www.whosnextonline.com/Artist.aspx?ID=11953

You’ll be able to find that link listed on our Beyond DF.com page as well.

Random Video Clips – “Undefeatable”

Posted on by

Every now and then I run across a video that goes beyond viral in nature and becomes something truly more. For these select few videos I have a title. I dub them “Random Video Clips”. My introduction makes as much sense as this fight scene from “Undefeatable“. The real title of the movie is “Cui Hua Kuang Mo”, which was made in 1993. It was later imported into the US and translated as “Undefeatable”. For you English majors out there that is not a real word, but hey– this is Kung Fu not rocket science. The point is this scene is called by many a movie buff the “most ridiculous and incredible fight scene ever”. You’ll see why in a bit as soon as you hit play and I’m sure you’ll agree. With that, I give you “Undefeatable”:

If you have a clip you’d like to see nominated as the “Random Video Clip” drop me a line via the Contact form and let me know where I can find it on the Net.

Shameless Promotion: New Casket Architects CD

Casket Architects "Future Wounds" CDThis past weekend the Casket Architects released their new CD “Future Wounds” to much accolades during their CD release party at the Tuscan Cafe in Warwick, NY. I’m not one to pimp out the “scene” any longer (cause frankly the scene died about ten years ago a fiery painful and much under documented death), but it is noteworthy for a few reasons:

1. They are arguably one of the best live bands from Orange County, NY actively performing (if not THE best).

2. They are a sonic mind trip and a half– listening to their first two albums (“Dance on the Death Nerve” and “Skull Persuasion”) was like some sick late night mash up of Skinny Puppy and Napalm Death… this album takes it another step further.

3. There are few truly creative bands out there. Casket Architects manages to really cross musical boundaries, do something original, and be pretty darn melodic without being a Pop sell out in any sense. We call that “win-win-win”.

I’m not close with the band (so there’s no incentive for me to give props) though Skow admittedly knows them, but he didn’t ask me to pimp them either. I just feel they deserve the shout out and if you like digitalflood’s stuff it’s certainly worth checking out their new CD (which can conveniently be purchased through their new Merch shop).

Give it a listen and drop back to let me know what you think. You can (even maybe more conveniently) find the Casket Architects featured in the digitalflood Pirate Radio “Palindrome Remix” episode if you want a sneak peak at their earlier work. You can also listen to Skow and I babble about nonsensical metal ramblings, as well as, food during that same episode in case you’re into that sort of thing.
