Someone has recently managed to plug into the master-tape-matrix over at Philly World Record's Alpha Studios and helped themselves to a few choice instrumentals of their uptempo boogie numbers. I've much respect for whoever it was, and I've managed to put them up here for anybody who doesn't want to go out for the next few hours. Notable beats here include Brutus's "Excitation" which is simply fantastic.
In the next few days, I'm going to upload some literature that I wrote whilst back at university - some of it deals with charting the use of sonic landscapes by African American slaves during the latter half of the 19th Century as vital emancipatory tools. I basically looked at how sound was used by these slaves to sing their way to freedom and how the baton was passed from generation to generation of black musicians from Armstrong to the Free Jazz movement of the 50s/60's. Bit nerdy, but I think it goes with the essence of the blog nicely.
