Zeke in the octagon.
Tuesday, August 24, 2010 at 11:16PM Zeke travel video diary #1 from Paper Chain on Vimeo.
Zeke recently was invited visit Q-bert's house in San Francisco. He was able to spend one on one time with the grandmaster and learn and expand his scratch vocabulary to the fullest from watching Q in the flesh. These are times spent in the Octagon, meeting new people and exploring the city. Many thanks to Q-bert & the Thud Rumble crew for the hospitality on Zeke's stay.
Stay tuned for the second installment of of the video diaries coming soon.

TA-KU AKA FLIP: 'KEEP IT SIMPLE'.
Monday, August 16, 2010 at 11:53AM
CLICK THE PIC AND DOWNLOAD IT NOW!New day, new beatape from Ta-ku. This time round it was an even quicker process. Here are some words from the man on what this was all about.
"I had the day off early last week and decided to make a quick beatape in 4 hours - some of them are very rough but a good insight to how day time television can assist in beatmaking. Ready Steady Cook was the biggest influence."
Click the pic link above or the big bold text below and download yet another free zip full of fresh beats.

Kit pop: 10.zip
Saturday, August 7, 2010 at 2:07PM
CLICK THE PIC AND DOWNLOAD NOW.So we put up a little video up before of something Kit Pop was doing in his spare time, 10.zip. 10 beats/10days/1mpc. Its all done and now up for FREE, so click the pic link above or the link below and cop yourself some freebies. here are some words on the beatape for KP.
"This little project was just to fuck around with the mpc again without computers, little rule I made for myself was to only use/chop a 16 bar loop or less...or no chopping and using loops for the main melodies/getting the timing right. Was really 10 whole days more like 2 hours or less in the afternoon of 10 days. The beats aren't suppose to sound polished more like if all you had was a tape deck and sampler and thats it. Records only and max 2 records per beat, other then that it was fun geting back to basics between working on other beats, good to keep creativity going to some degree. a few tracks on there came out nice and some had some good ideas but maybe later go back to them and work with a full studio to build. Hopefully anyone that downloads the beatape will get at least one thing out of it....the days starting gettin warmer here so some get a wintery and summer vibe. Fuck it download it and peep for yourself."
It was suppose to be up and ready for download yesterday but we had a couple of problems with the server, but it is all good now and up and ready for download. Hope you enjoy it!
Manor turns 4.
Tuesday, July 27, 2010 at 8:32PM
Large cast of likely lads.Our friends at the Manor are having some birthday celebrations this Friday evening to celebrate 4 years in the game. On the night will be many of the djs that have played there on the regular since its humble beginnings, including Zeke and KP (who are playing together B2B for fun/so no large set up just old school throw downs). So there will be plenty reasons to pop down and have a drink, and if you got the special invitation we'll catch ya there earlier for some friendly beverages and boogie.
We wish the Manor a happy birthday and hope the night flows smoothly!
