Okapi – Love Him (Review)

Okapi

Love Him

Released by Illegal Art


Okapi’s latest album, Love Him, is quirky, whimsical and brings a fresh ear and direction to experimental music. While other “artists” like Pitbull are using played out samples from number one hits over the last 10 years, Okapi is reinventing the use of the sample.  He picks up where Pizzicato Five left off in the '90s with the shibuya-kei movement by creating a truly “New Stereophonic Sound Spectacular."

Review: Red Bull Thre3Style in Los Angeles + Interviews with Winner Morse Code, and DJ Mix Master Mike. (Video)

The venue was hot, the drinks were strong, but some Djs didn’t play my song. The Red Bull Thre3Style is a competition to find the world’s most party hyping’ DJ. The main focus is to crown the DJ that has mastered the drop, scratch, and fade spinning that keeps a party going into the early morning. While some Djs were playing tracks more suited for a lounge atmosphere, others definitely came to compete by the timing of lyrics like “Get your dam hands up,” and “Turn my music High.” I arrived to a packed Playhouse in Hollywood last Wednesday listening to “We love L.A” getting spun into a battle mix. The Red Bull Thre3Style in Los Angeles was live and popping.

RIP ROC RAIDA :: WORLD’S BEST TURNTABLIST

Master turntablist DJ Roc Raida (B. Anthony Williams) passed away today. Part of the original DJ collective and turntablist group the X-ecutioners, (formerly known as X-Men), Raida’s vinyl exploits quickly earned him a reputation as one of the best DJs in the world. He captured the DMC World DJ Championship in 1995 with his superb beat-juggling, seamless mixing, and flawless, ambidextrous execution. He was so talented, he could literally spin with his arms behind his back. Not only a master of the turntables, Raida was also an accomplished martial artist.

He was most recently on tour with Busta Rhymes. Busta expressed his condolences over Twitter, “I am sorry 2 say that on this day at 2:05 Sept 19th we lost another incredible life…Dj Roc Raida died 2day my personal Dj is gone… I …
