Good vibes today as I had my copy of Melanin9's "Magna Carta" album turn up in the post. What's so special about that I hear you say?
Well....it's the vinyl version with added bonus instrumentals on it which is always a good thing. Secondly, and a pretty big thing from me, it's my first time appearing on vinyl. I feature on the tracks "Organized Democracy" and "Marble".
To date this is pretty much my crowning achievement in my DJ career and hope it's the first of many to come.
Respect goes out to Melanin9 for letting me part of this truly great album and Tony Mahoney for producing both tracks
If you haven't already go and buy, what for me, was the album of 2012 by Melanin9 "Magana Carta" I can't stress how much I listen to it. I feature on 2 tracks on the album which the videos show:
Organzied Democracy
Marble
On that note I just got my 2 copies of the "White Russian" 12" from these himself and this is a true collectors piece for my collection. It's made of heavy weight vinyl and its red and black and the photos show.
The EP features the tracks:
White Russian
Magna Carta
Straight Live
With instrumentals of each on the flip as to finish off the A-Side accapellas to White Russian and Straight Live if you want to get on the remix tip or in my case use the samples for scratch hooks/word play.
This 12" got a 9.5 in the January issue of well respected DJ Mag and single of the month which goes to show the quality of this record.
You can buy the vinyl from Suspect Packges, the Anatomy Spills bandcamp page and other online record shops.
All in all this is glued to my Technics at present and will be for a while yet!
A few of the albums I've had features on this year from Headknockers (Rich Mahogany & Trilian), Mark Deez, Melanin9 and Guilty Smilies. I've have featured on a lot of solo tracks from an array of artists so bear with me until I can upload the tracks somewhere to stream.
