The Urban Landscapes Radioshow 11.17

Saturday, May 31st, 2008

After recuperating during my week off, I’m back to make up for my absence with a three-hour broadcast. The styles go all over the place per usual, so there’s bound to be goodies that you’ll dig.

The Halfway Rewind Specials are forthcoming, looking back at the quality music during the first hald of 2008. Dates will be announced soon.

I’m quite busy at the moment, so will leave it there. Enjoy the show, and will catch you next week.

DJ Cosmo Launches New Label Showcasing The Loft

Monday, May 26th, 2008

This is the bulk of an email that legendary DJ and tastemaker DJ Cosmo has sent out last week. Vinylheads rejoice!

Dear Friends,
We are ecstatic to give birth to The Loft’s very first official record label:
The Loft Audiophile LIbrary of Music.

Our objective is to re-issue selected master recordings, and release them in the highest audiophile quality vinyl recording 12-inch singles on 180 gram vinyl and 45 rpm. Mastering will be handled by the legendary audiophile engineer Stan Rickman who did the mastering of Pink Floyd’s “Dark Side of the Moon” amongst many other great recordings.

In times of audio quality compromise due to new technological advancement (i.e. digital convenience) that is ultimately decreasing the value of music in general (i.e. standardisation of the mp3 format), we believe this concept is a solution to our striving passion for music appreciation, quality and the preservation thereof which ultimately gives a choice to the global music fans of today.

Our mission statement is “To share authentic musical information (musical recordings, energy, history, messages, visions, emotions, expressions, creativity and artistic integrity) through quality playback.”

The first release is “My Favourite Things”, the Studio Version by Alfredo de la Fe and the Live Version by The Latin Percussion Jazz Ensemble. It sounds absolutely amazing!

If you’re unable to make the parties but are itching in buying some wax, get in touch and I’ll pass the info on to her.

She’s also on Myspace, as well.

Peace.

No Urban Landscapes This Week

Friday, May 23rd, 2008

Hello, Good People:
I was all fired up to bring you a brand new show, then I got hit with hay fever and that really slowed me down.

I’m recovering, though still not 100%. I hope that I’ll be fully recovered by next week’s show, at which time I’m going to make up for some time by delivering to you a three-hour broadcast.

Watch out for more soon; have a good weekend!

The Urban Landscapes Radioshow 11.16

Tuesday, May 20th, 2008
I hope your week so far has been a good one.

Last weekend was a nice one. A couple of local DJ friends and I traveled to Los Angeles to catch an event featuring Tru Thoughts artist Quantic and Wonderwheel/ESL beatmaker Nickodemus. An outfit called Funky In The Middle was responsible for the goods, with DJ Jeremy Sole fronting things. I was awesome to see Jeremy again, and even more awesome to catch up with Q and Nicko for the first time in ages. I’ve also met some new peeps, and danced my ass off to a great time. I will have more info on the event in the coming days, along with pictures.

Be sure to check out the show’s web site, which has a new interview series called The Snapshot. First up is Demus from 2 Banks of 4, sharing knowledge on the excellent new album on Sonar Kollektiv called Junkard Gods. Hope you enjoy the read.

In the meantime, enjoy the latest show. More goodness is coming up on this week’s edition, so stay close.

Peace.
