Cooly G: Playin “Me” On A Grand Scale (Interview)

 

Without question, 2012 has a been year that’s been championed by Hyperdub; from strong releases from the likes of Fhloston Paradigm (aka King Britt), to the LP releases of DVA, Dean Blunt & Inga Copeland (of Hype Williams fame), and Laurel Halo, all to universal acclaim. However, when it came to Cooly G’s LP, Playin Me, things were obviously different from the start. As an artist with a pretty extensive history for club-friendly tracks, the album presents a more personal and purist side of Merrisa Campbell. Swooning with textures of soul, RnB, funky and tribal rhythms, the album is nothing short of a satisfying entryway to one of the most unique and ubiquitously charming producer personalities out there. With our uniformed appreciation for all things Cooly G, the producer took some time to speak with URB about her album process, her forthcoming plans with her live show and label, and unquestionably, about vibes. Check out the interview after the jump.

Mary Anne Hobbs: Road Warrior Tour Diary for URB – Part Four

The final installment of a bass-fueled journey through the North American continent. 

 

Mary Anne Hobbs graces URB once again with the final entry to her incredible Road Warrior Tour Diary. It’s been a sleepless adventure across the US and beyond, but of course, when you’re playing gigs like Francois K’s Deep Space in New York City, or King Britt and Rucyl’s Saturn Never Sleeps, you tend to keep going no matter how much sleep you’ve lost. Along with those East Coast stops, Mary Anne hits up Canada with some hard-pressed Canadian customs drama. At least she played a great gig with the always-awesome XI. More info about all the highs, lows and in-betweens after the jump.

A Decade of Mochilla (Part Two) Mixed by Coleman (Video & MP3)

Below are B+’s words regarding this mix.  This is definitely a great mix that helps showcase Mochilla’s deep body of work.  Music from DJ Shadow, Jackson Conti, Suite for Ma Dukes, King Britt, Quantic, J. Rocc, Nobody, DJ Nuts and more. Enjoy and Happy Holidays.

——————————————————————————————————-
The response to the first part of this mix has been incredible.   Thank you for all the support, retweeting, and reposting.  Mochilla loves the love.   Part two here today for download is stepping the game up and to quote Coleman, “I wanted this mix to slap everyone in the face and get them to pay attention.”   It is purely rhetorical of course, our version of a slap in the face is the caress of boss nova, the thump of cubia or the heat stopping wind sucking gaps of great syncopation.  This mix has all of that.

Remember of course these are 20 minute teasers for the full mixes coming in 2011.

Just a quick note on the photo that we used on the cover – I snapped this one at the great “La Marcha” way back in 2001.   It was taken in the Zocalo in Mexico City and Maldita Vecindad were performing in solidarity with the EZLN.   The kid on his friend’s shoulders with the El Che shirt embodies all that we wanted Mochilla to be way back in ’01 – engaged, excited, energetic and happy. Our brother and design guru Keith Tamashiro flipped it into our first logo and Stephen Serato has reflipped it into our 10 year mix cover.

This will warm your ears, brighten your heart and remind you of the strength of good music.  Download, hit play and you know – turn it up…

Thanks for all your support and happy holidays,
