WRAPPED UP 2008 - CHRISTMAS BEATS (JAISU,KELAKOVSKI,KOSYNE,METABEATS, P.L.O & S-TYPE)

What up YAWL...Merry Christmas!!!...I know its droppin a day later than I would have liked but my Christmas was a bit complicated this year and couldnt really get on the net to up the videos (although I did try and managed to drop the Welsh one first hence that gettin 300 somethin views currently!!).

Anyway If you've been following Louis Den for the past year or so then you'll remember last Christmas we did the Xmas wax swap with the boys in the scotland myself (Kos) and Kela swapped records with S-Type & Jaisu and made a beat from a christmas record..we then dropped them on my youtube channel and Prolifik (Ab0181) respectively..Well since then a lot has happened!! me and Pro have a beatmaking doc underway, we've linked a few times for beat geek outs and I even managed to get the boys down to SMASH the Louis Den Beat Cypher that took place earlier this month.

WELLLL of course it being Christmas Pro was already gettin hit up as soon as Dec hit asking him if he was gonna drop another xmas vid...so we knew it had to be so heres how we did it!.

To make it even better than last year I connected with the mighty Mayor from Welsh indie hiphop label Associated Minds...banged a few messages back and forth and got a couple of their producers (Metabeats & P.L.O) down for the project too so this time round we've got 3 camps of producers all exchanging xmas records, rather than squash it into rushed video we dropped em country by country so you get a better feel for everyones process!.


WRAPPED UP 2008 WALES


WRAPPED UP 2008 ENGLAND


WRAPPED UP 2008 SCOTLAND



I did the final edits / gfx for the vids with each camp filming theirs seperately but Prolifiks youtube is gonna be the future spot for a lot of collab/louisden related stuff as we're all pushing the same team! PLUS...this whole wrapped up thing is a joint effort/concept with myself, Prolifik and Mayor all ironing out the ideas earlier on in the month to get this to you!.

Props to Mayor for handlin the welsh side of things I know it wasnt easy getting the camera crew, Metabeats & P.L.O all together to shoot/dig and getting me the vid sent (xmas eve!!)...

Pro for handling ish the best he could despite being in spain for xmas!!

and yeah yourselves for being part of / fans of Louis Den or just vibing off the movment!! heres to a dope 2009!

MERRY CHRISTMAS & A HAPPY NEW YEAR FROM ALL OF US!....
peace & beats!.

Louis Den Beat Cypher 2 - Birmingham - December 11th 2008

We're baaaaaaaack! yesh yesh ya'll, if you didnt read my recap on the original beat cypher night then head over to the entry on the ldbb myspace blog.

The first Beat Cypher was DOPE! and a great success it was great to see so many beat heads come out and the perfomers on the night repped hard! (that was JEHST, SOWETO KINCH, KELAKOVSKI, MR DICK and on the mic THE LOST GENERATION, MICALL PARKNSUN, SIR SMURF LIL & SONNYJIM).





Annnyway, as the night went on it became quickly evident that it'd be a good look to do this again; myself, Kelz & Cro (and a couple others who helped put the night together) had no idea if we could even do another one but here we are!.

Louis Den Beat Cypher 9th October 2008!!

Make a note of this people, Louis Den Beat Battles hits the stage 9th October!!, just sent the flyer off to press so now its time to blam it up everywhere online!!.

Im hoping we'll make a success of this and be able to turn the venture into something semi regular...lets see eh??...heres a little blurb ive just banged out..*pause*.

Louis Den Beat Battles Presents
Louis Den Beat Cypher
9th October 2008
Rooty Frooty, Custard Factory, Digbeth
Birmingham

The online beat community Louis Den Beat Battles (louisden.com) takes to the stage with the first outing of its "Beat Cypher" night; the aim of "Louis Den Beat Cypher" is to showcase the production element of hip-hop in a live setting, the main focus will be on the 4 profiled producers of the night as well as live PA's from artists.

The aim is to mix more established talent with those making noise in the underground and centre it around a production setting, all beats from the evening will be played out live from some or all of the hardware used to create it allowing the producers to make all manner of live changes to their beats as they are being played; the artists PA's are also over these beats meaning we'll be connecting them with producers they may not necessarily have worked with before making a unique never to be repeated again performance of their tracks.

The night will feature a set of showcase rounds from each producer having their beats played out live; all of which is up to the producer; you'll hear a mix of blaps from their catalogue ranging from fresh beats to existing tracks to never before heard bangers from their vault!. They'll also be taking part in preset challenges to deliver a beat made to certain specifications (samples / themes...similar to the online louis den beat battles format); here we'll hear their take on flipping a sample or following a particular theme.

Finally to stitch it all together the Louis Den Cypher DJ will be providing the soundtrack inbetween the beat rounds and PA's playing a mix of hip-hop, instrumentals and original breaks for you beat heads to try and place!, our DJ will also be playing a selection of submitted beats from the crowd!! producers in the crowd are encouraged to bring a short beat reel or 1 or 2 full lengh beats to get played over the system!.

If you are able to make it down to the night please do so! as we're keen to make a success of it and continue bringing you more as time goes by!.

Kosyne, for LOUIS DEN BEAT BATTLES

New Illa J - We Here / Yancey Boys Project

On August 25th Delicious Vinyl will release the debut single by Illa J: "We Here" b/w "R U Listenin". Both tracks are produced by the legendary late producer Jay Dee (aka J Dilla), Illa J's older brother.

"We Here" is all sizzle and gleam as Illa J ad-libs his mission statement: "Yancey Boys from Detroit, Michigan...comin' for that number one spot...'bout to rock the world!" Over the previously unheard Dilla track (from a cache of Jay Dee beats held in safety for a decade by Delicious Vinyl founder Michael Ross) Illa J's soulful tenor delivers the hook: "We poppin' bottles like it's first day of the year." Illa J confirms the feeling: "Somebody could be in a hoopty but the Jay Dee beat sound so good it make them feel like they riding in a Phantom."


^ hmm, sounds good; looks like Micheal Ross must have the rights to these Dilla blaps that we're held back, a decade old would make them 98 / 99, circa another batch so we're in for a treat...im glad despite his So called "Management's Stance"; Dilla's real folks can put out his beats and work on new projects.

Download the track "We Here" (mp3).
