Moog Sound Lab (Video)

Moog Sound Lab gives artists the opportunity to re-imagine one of their songs on all Moog instruments, creatively engineered and filmed at Moog Music’s factory in Asheville, North Carolina.  With Moog being the original arbiter of analog sound, it was a natural progression for them to create Moog Sound Lab. MSL gives another way of looking at music by newer artists; a look at what is next.

Big Pooh – The Purple Tape Review (Review)

Rapper Big Pooh

The Purple Tape

Released by Hall of Justus


Not to be confused with a "street album" or a run of the mill mixtape, Rapper Big Pooh's come with easily the best compilation of 2010. Partnered up with Detroit Beat King "Black Milk" on the production side of things, this cohesive effort is definitely keeping the Hall Of Justus tradition alive. The concept itself was formed during the end of European tour mid-flight with Big Dho as witness. A response to "Reservoir Dogs" Mixtape which had HOJ alums Joe Scudda, Chaundon, Jozeemo and Pooh all going in over ...
