dalle note di copertina di – Zodyax Scop Level 2: Equilibrium (Dj Relm)-

Level 2: Equilibrium
Balance is an important element within the Zodyax Scop. Without equality, there is no order. Firus used this to compete against himself, using 2 samples as 2 battling voices.

For many years the system of the Zodyax Scop was hidden from us by a greedy society of skratch musicians known as the Cult of Arkan. In order to keep the secret of the system to themselves, they destroyed all evidence of its existence exept for one scroll which if deciphered correctly would unlock its mysteries. Only members of their clan would have the perfect form of the Zodyax. In the early 18th century, a lone skratch artist by the name of Firus the Wanderer stumbled upon the scroll while training in the city of Centris. He vowed never to let the Scopbe hidden from the universe again. Now, thousands of years after this flawless system was selfishly locked away it will be shared with all who will harness its teachings.

E' uscita, come sempre in estate, diversa roba nuova interessante. Il nuovo album dei Beastie Boys "The Mix-Up" contiene solo tracce strumentali inedite, molto funky. Molto bello anche il nuovo triplo album di Goldie e Rufige Kru "Malice in Wonderland" (su Metalheadz). Goldie e' sempre uno dei maestri indiscussi del genere drum'n'bass e ,fra l'altro, anche writer/aerosol artist molto apprezzato; la grafica dell'album e' stata realizzata da Monsta.

Dalla pagina http://www.ilikemusic.com/make_music/History_Of_Turntablism-301 

The DJ and the noble craft of turntablism has grown from its humble
beginnings as recorded music sent over the airwaves for the first time
in 1906 to the emergence of the Superstar DJ, a multi-facted producer,
musician and businessman. Such DJs can now command thousands of pounds
per night, with annual spending in UK clubs alone at £1.7 billion.

"The DJ is an improvisational artist who has the world of recorded
sounds as his palette and the musical pleasure of a bunch of clubbers
as his canvas," say Bill Brewster and Frank Broughton, authors of Last
Night a DJ Saved My Life.

Technically a DJ's job is pretty demanding. You need a certain
level of skill to mix a series of records to create a flowing and
effective performance. DJs need to know how each track is structured
and must have a good ear and precise rhythm, to be able to tell if two
tracks are in tune and to merge the two seamlessly (or scratch up the
beats in an equally seamless manner).

Additionally, a basic knowledge of sound production/reproduction
and sound systems helps a DJ to get the most from volume, tone and
digital controls. And to really work the system and strengthen the
dynamics of a track/set, DJs fine-tune tone and tempo, use crossovers
between the treble, midrange, bass and sub-bass, and play around with
digital tools such as delay and reverb. It's not as easy as it looks.
Pure turntablist masters, ie scratch masters like Craze, Tony Vegas,
Prime Cuts and Plus One, may think that beat mixing is easy (mixing two
tracks into an ongoing sequence), but there's still a lot involved.
Evidently though it's a DJ's pure love of music and knowledge of what
tracks will get a crowd rocking, plus a good communication channel with
that crowd, that are his/her most required talents.

So how did this noble form of expression all begin?

The DJ throughout time, has been responsible for creating a tide of
interest in each new form, from rock n roll and disco to reggae, dance
music and hip hop.

Nearly a century ago the first record was played over the airwaves
and, with the help of youth culture, new musical forms, and the
advances in technology, the DJ has shaped the music of each time and
brought the masses what they want to hear. Here's a quick look at the
timeline of Turntablism.

1955 Turntable, custom-built by Edward P Casey of the Bronx, New York

:: History of Turntablism Timeline ::

1850s French Researchers develop the phonoautograph that records sound waves on a rotating cylinder.

1870s Thomas Edison develops a tinfoil phonograph or speaking
machine. He recited "Mary Had a Little Lamb" into the mouthpiece to
test the machine for the first time.

1877 Edison invents the first hand-cranked phonograph.

1887 Alexander Graham Bell unveils his graphophone that included a
floating stylus for clearer sound and used wax cylinders. Edison
replaces the original hand crank with a battery-driven motor and solid
wax cylinder.

1890 Musicians begin recording their music. The phonograph
cylinders could record 2-4 minutes of audio. Musicians set up recording
sessions with several phonographs recording simultaneously.

1892 Flat recording gramophone discs are invented.

1895 Edison begins mass production of the phonograph and amplifies the sound by adding a horn.

1906 THE FIRST EVER RADIO DJ: American Engineer, Reginald A Fessenden, was the first person to play a record over the airwaves.

1925 The microphone was invented, resulting in the redesign of reproduction equipment.

1931 EMI researcher Alan Dower Blumlein invents stereophonic sound for recording.

1939 Invention of the magnetic tape.

1940s DJs entertain troops overseas.

1950s The 45 RPM 7 inch record is invented.

1960s Modern electronics come to the fore within the sound and
music sectors, with the first Synthesizer created by Robert Moog. Dub
music and remixes emerge, pioneered by King Tubby. Reggae music gets
increasingly popular and the emergence of remix and rap music begins
toward the end of the 1960s.

Late 60s Osbourne Ruddock (King Tubby), Lee "Scratch" Perry and
Edward "Bunny" Lee set up and manage multi-track studios and become
major reggae producers.

1969 The first hip-hop DJ, Kool Herc, develops cutting breaks. Kook
Herc rapped over popular songs and extended short breaks by using two
identical records and looping the required segments using an audio
mixer.

Technics Direct Drive System SP-10 was released

Early 70s Technics introduce the original SL-1200 as a hi-fi turntable.

1971 The first electronic band, Kraftwerk, are formed.

1975 The scratch is discovered by Grand Wizard Theodore.

1980s DJ Frankie Knuckles mixes 4/4 beats generated by a drum machine on top of soul and disco tunes at The Warehouse.

1980 Marshall Jefferson releases 'Move Your Body' and house music
is in full swing with 12" disco records with long percussion breaks
coming to the fore and creating House.

Grandmaster Flash creates the "breakbeat".

1980 Roland introduces the TB-303 bassline machine and the TR-808 drum machine.

1981 "The Adventures of Grandmaster Flash on the Wheels of Steel"
is the first release to include hip-hop DJ skills, with "The Message",
(the first rap record) by Grandmaster Flash and The Furious Five
becoming a massive hit one year later.

1982 Afrika Bambaata creates electro by sampling Kraftwerk on "Planet Rock".

mid 80s Samplers become affordable to the masses allowing musicians to capture and manipulate sounds.

New York Hip Hop DJS start using 'spinback' with the Technics 1200
to cut back and forth between two tracks to extend breaks and scratch.

1987 The DMC (Disco Mix Club) holds its first annual DJ Competition

1989 The rave scene is born from Acid House, with warehouse and
field parties and raves taking place round the M25 in the UK, arranged
via a secret network of pirate radio messages and flyer distribution.

90s Drum 'n Bass and Trip Hop emerge as evolving forms of breakbeat.

1990 – The first all turntable scratch band, "Shadow of the Prophet" form (Mix Master Mike and DJ Apollo).

1992 "Battlebreaks" was released, the first record of its kind.

1992 "In/Flux" is released by DJ Shadow who leans more towards sampling.

1996 The first ITF (International Turntablist Federation) champioinship competition takes place.

1998 Scratching is brought to the mainstream as Mix Master Mike joins the "Beastie Boys".

Turntablists such as Tony Vegas, Prime Cuts, Plus One, Craze and
others are currently amazing anyone who sees them in action with
impossibly good scratch mixing, proving that scratching is an art form
of its own. While Superstar DJs continue to jet around the world
getting paid squillions each year, and the beat goes on, and the DJs
power continues to grow – and we love it, because they give us music
and we adore music and so do them. Big up the DJ and the Turntablist.

Secret of the "Y" Formula 

A MESSAGE FROM THE ULTRA
KNIGHTS: Sol-Kaya (pronounced
soul-kai-ya), or as we know it here as
skratching, has been around for many
ages. Much of it's origins have been
kept hidden by a powerful secret
skratch society known to us as the
Free Sound Masons. These master
sound shifters keep the information
hidden from us in order to control and
rule the skratch world with their so
called new styles and techniques only
to feed from the worship of their blind
followers. Little do these blind ones
know that all the magic is nothing
more than ancient ideas of the past
being brought to this time once again
for use by the all knowing Free Sound
Masons. The names of these
members would surprise you but for
safety purposes they will not be
revealed..

In this age of Aquarius here on earth,
we see the art of Sol-Kaya has
resurfaced as a turntable with records.
In the past and on other worlds, we
have found Sol-Kaya devices that take
on many forms and some that have no
form at all. There are so many that
your only limit to how many ways
sound can be forged is with your
imagination.

Many practitioners of Sol-Kaya
throughout the universe are ageless
and incredibly skilled. Their sounds
are far more superior than anything
most earth beings could come to
achieve. We can only say that the Sol-
Kayans of this earth still display a wide
range of beautiful expression even in
their suppressed surroundings. The
time is now for earth's Sol-Kayans to
see beyond what they know and
become everything they imagine!
We the Ultra Knights have come to this
planet here on a mission to free your
minds and make this sacred
knowledge available to you as we too
have access to the universal Oracle of
the Sol-Kaya arts. We now reveal one
of these secret systems and have
embedded upon this record what is
known as the "Y" system. The sounds
of this age and world have been
scattered and assembled onto this
ancient template in order that you may
feel at home as well as being
connected to the energies of the
universal Oracle.

Creation is now at your fingertips as
you are the first to absorb the power of
this sacred tool and release the ancient
Sol-Kaya arts in you!

3 MCs and 2 djs

Il party dell’etichetta Stones Throw è stato molto divertente: il party si è aperto con un infuocato dj set di J Rocc (vero mostro della console nonchè uno degli original turntablists), ha proseguito con le rime di Aloe Blacc, Guilty Simpson e Percee P (quest’ ultimo, sulla scena dagli anni ’70, ha esordito su lp nel 1988!!!), tre degli MC piu’ interessanti della scena hip hop internazionale, intermezzati da un interessante video mash-up di Peanut Butter Wolf che ha fatto il breakbeat con video classici del rap (Cypress Hill, How i could just kill a man; Ol’ Dirty Bastard, Shimmy Shimmy Ya; Wu Tang Clan, Shame on a nigga, Kriss Kross e altre pietre miliari).

Aloe Blacc: feeling molto jazzy, suona la cornetta, fa beat box, è il piu’ musicale dei tre.

Guilty Simpson: già collaboratore del grande J Dilla, il suo stile, tipico di Detroit, è molto apprezzato anche dai fan più giovani.

Percee P:  Boogie Down Bronx style , molto veloce, brani accapella molto belli e pieni di enfasi; attendiamo con impazienza il suo nuovo LP (per Stones Throw, ovviamente) prodotto da Madlib con ospiti del calibro di Big Daddy Kane, Guilty Simpson e altri eminenti MC.

Peanut Butter Wolf: il mentore dell’etichetta nonchè produttore esecutivo di gran parte delle uscite ST.
