Painting Excercising and Making Blended Drinks EP

Jesse and Rafferty bring you Painting Excercising and Making Blended Drinks EP. It's called an EP because that's what really short albums are called, even though it has 17 tracks. All but 2 of the tracks are under 2 minutes. This EP features live instrumentation and sampling. Recorded in Jesse's livingroom.

All Your Bass #25: Over And Out

This is the last show for a while. I'm gonna take a break. Maybe just until April or so, maybe longer. So you guys are gonna have to get your awesome music somewhere else for a while, sorry.

This show featured Biz Markie and Edan (like most of my shows, I've noticed), Saukrates, Madvillain, Anonymous Twist, Common Market, the Coup, plus more. Big ups to Vanilla Ice, who just squirted out another album in November, this time of hip hop covers. Do yourself a google search and find some 30 second samples somewhere, it's really eye-opening. I recommend 'Insane in the Membrane' (Cypress Hill) and 'Buffalo Soldier' (Bob Marley) especially.



Hey, did you notice the resemblance between Vanilla Ice and Max Headroom? I wonder if that's just a coincidence.

All Your Bass #24

archived. A few tracks by Moka Only, who puts on a very entertaining, energetic live show. Also D-sisive, Edan, Kid N Play, Michie Mee, MC Shan... uh, Biz Markie....

All Your Bass #23: KCR Membership Drive

The drive is over now, but that doesn't mean you can't still go down to the Kootenay Coop Radio studio and purchase yourself a membership to help support volunteer-run, listener-driven radio content.

Had Ben Fox & Chris Brach with me in the studio for this show. Ben brought a few of his many, many records. Chris Brach moves in the shadows like the ninja. We talked some hip hop etc, but mostly played records for your listening enjoyment. KRS-One, another superb Ice Cube track, Naughty by Nature, Tribe, AZ, Heiroglyphics, Akinyele... and more of course. Take my advice: download this show at your earliest convenience and burn it onto a cd. Listen to it in your car at high volume with the bass frequencies especially emphasized. Members of whatever gender you find yourself attracted to will come a-running, I guarantee it.

who remembers this guy?

All Your Bass #22

Here is All Your Bass number twenty-two. Check it out. I broke my New Year's resolution and played a track by 2pac. Young MC, MF Doom, Hip Club Groove, Tribe, Lil' Wayne (another broken resolution), Pete Rock & CL Smooth, Atmosphere... and then some. Super-duper.

Crate Kings 3: Homage To A Misspent Youth

A third mixtape of original instrumentals (a "beatstrumental"?) has been issued by members of the Crate Kings forums. Samples came from music and sounds associated with wasting time when you were a kid: tv themes and movie themes, video game soundtracks, cartoon intros, etc. 17 beatmakesters came up with 28 dope beats , guaranteed to tug your nostalgic heartstrings. Downstroke made the cover art. That's Xtra-K sporting the MPC.

All Your Bass #17: Inspired by Shambhala

yeah, so we were up at Shambhala on the weekend. It was pretty neat, as you might imagine. So me and Blaker put together this set that's loosely based on or inspired by stuff that we heard up there. Drive If You Must from Nelson, Gift of Gab & Lateef, Groove Armada, uh DJ Kentaro, Galactic, Neighbour of Homebreakin Records (dope!), One Self, Del & Aesop Rock, Bassnectar... and, of course, more. You guys don't even know. Fuggedaboudit.

Here it is, you losers! Just kidding, here it actually is.

All Your Bass #16: Impeach the President

Blaker was in studio again for this one. We listened to the Honeydrippers' 'Impeach the President' and then we heard a buttload of tracks which sampled the drums. Ice Cube, Kwamé, Audio Two, the Digable Planets, De La... also Jurassic 5, Bob James, Lyn Collins.

Get it while it's hot.

All Your Bass #15 with Blake Seidenshaw

Get it here. Blake was helping me big time. Man, we played some Reflection Eternal, Dream Warriors, some Bush Babees, Blu & Exile, Plan B, Haiku d'Etat, Percee P, Latyrx, and more. Also we talked about that moment when you realized hip hop is more than just gangsta rap. Thanks Blaker.

Crate Kings meets CTI

CTI was a record label through the 60s and 70s (going bankrupt in 1978). They released some good ol' fashioned funky jazz and stuff. Notable artists include Idris Muhammad, Bob James, Grover Washington Jr., Hubert Laws, Freddie Hubbard, Joe Farrell, Seawind, and Deodato.

Some of the fellows over at the Crate Kings forums put togther a little project of hip hop instrumentals and interludes sampling artists from CTI and its subsidiary label, Kudu. This is one of those collaborations made possible by the internet; none of these people, so far as I know, have ever met in real life (which I've heard referred to as "meat space"). Rafferty was responsible for hanging all the tracks together. Check out the cool cover art by Figment above.

01) 00:00 Rafferty -- Introduction

Check it out, these guys came correct. Totally free and everything, of course. Download it here!

This is the second Crate Kings project; don't sleep on the Crate Kings vs. Henry Mancini mixtape you guys. Seriously.

All Your Bass #12 with Doc Mackay

new show is up.

Doc Mackay'd just returned from the Sasquatch music festival, and he and I played some hip hop artists from that show: Cancer Rising, Dyme Def, Blue Scholars, M.I.A. Also Souls of Mischief, Cut Chemist, etc.

Here it is.

All Your Bass #11

archived.

I saw Ali Shaheed last Saturday and he played strictly 90s hip hop, so I was inspired by his set. Cypress Hill, Bahamadia, Kool G Rap, the Dream Warriors, Keith Murray, the Artifacts, etc. Also the Kinks, the Meters, Roy Ayers. And more.

Get it here and kick out the jams.

All Your Bass #10

it's archived.

We're talking Lords of the Underground, Akinyele, T La Rock, Audio Two, Stezo... also Rahzel, MF Doom, Schoolley D, and more. Got a track by C. R. Avery, who is a gentleman and a scholar and knows how to freak a harmonica like no one should.

Click on any of these seven words to download it, my friends.

All Your Bass #09: The Freestyle

The Freestyle Edition of All Your Bass is now archived. The link is on the right; alternatively, you may click right here and find it that way.

Genuine freestyles from the Notorious B.I.G., Gift of Gab, and Busdriver, plus relevant music from the likes of Cannibal Ox, Edan, Big Daddy Kane & Biz Markie, the Roots, and then some. Also Kyran's answering machine rap.

Over an hour of only the dopest beats and rhymes, yet compact enough to fit on a cd! It's like a dream come true.

All Your Bass #08

New show is archived, go ahead and click the link on the right of the page.

Featuring artists such as Kool Moe Dee, Moka Only, De La Soul, Roots Manuva, Ultramagnetic MCs, DJ Jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince, Eddie Grant, Eekwol, Bomb the Bass, and more.

I recommend you burn it to a cd and bump it in the whip.

Thistledown Roadtrip Mix

a little mix from Rafferty, for Thistledowne's BC/Alberta tour, chock-full of inside jokes you won't understand unless you're in Thistledowne. Which you probably aren't. Hip hop, funk, jazz, rock and soul, together at last.

The Thistledowne Roadtrip Mix

01) The Honeydrippers - Impeach the President
02) Dynasty - Adventures in the Land of Music
03) The Spinners - It's a Shame (Rafferty's Come Get Some Mix)
04) 9th Creation - Bubblegum
05) Brother Ali - Uncle Sam Goddam
06) Radiohead - I Will
07) J Dilla f Pharoahe Monch - Love
08) Redbone - Come and Get Your Love
09) Roy Ayers - Everybody Loves the Sunshine
10) Pharoahe Monch - The Light
11) Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody
12) Pete Rock & CL Smooth - T.R.O.Y.
13) Aspen Switzer vs Edan - Fumbling Over Words That Rhyme (Rafferty's Winter Mix)
14) Magnum - It's the Music that Makes Us Do It
15) Charles Earland - Betty's Dilemma
16) Cold Crush Brothers - Fresh, Wild, Fly & Bold
17) Abdominal - Pedal Pusher
18) J Dilla - Stop
19) Nice & Smooth - Sometimes I Rhyme Slow
20) Danger Doom - Old School (f Talib Kweli)
21) Paramedic - Ol Skoolin

Like I said, full of inside jokes, and weird awkward changes, and obtuse track selections. Also it's not divided into separate songs; it's just one long unwieldy track.

Should you still want to listen to it, you'll find it in here. Enjoy.
