After 3 weeks at 137 Essex we decided to put the Noctambule party on hold to make some improvements but it seems like we didn’t really communicate that correctly because a bunch of rockstar night owls still showed up these last two weeks only to realize the EMPT crew was no where to be found! [...]

This song is about your classic amateur league lovers, you know, the ones so stuck in their insecurities and limitations that they feel the need to assume a particular style or attitude when it comes to love affairs. I’ve always found it amusing when my girlfriends, the kind and loving P.Y.T.’s they [...]

I was at the back room in Cafe Select this weekend and what a good time it was. The DJ was phenomenal and I wish I had gotten his name but I was enjoying the tunes so much that I didn’t care to bother. I don’t know what it is about walking through a kitchen [...]

RZA’s production on 36 Chambers changed the direction of New York hip hop, and my future in music. I’ve been listening to the album consistently since it came out in 1993, which is over half my life.

Subjective Effects: Stimulation, arousal, and hyperactivity (e.g., many users get an “uncontrollable urge to dance” while under the influence) So we burst into colors, colors and carousels, Fall head first like paper planes in playground games Next thing we’re touching You look at me it’s like you hit me with lightning…” I’ve been up for the last 24 hours, partly because of the [...]

Count on Ratatat to make anything dirty, gritty and flat out bumpin. The Virginia bounce inspired production style is an instant addiction and with my Skidmore reunion on the horizon I’ve felt the need to represent for my alma mater. Point out the bounce!” A lot of people say hip hop is dead but all you have to do is [...]
