COOKIE SNAP alias STOKKA
MUSIC WITHOUT NOTES
Pubblichiamo una vera e propria chicca per gli estimatori del genere: dal 27 Marzo in preorder per la prima volta in vinile l’unico disco strumentale di COOKIE SNAP (alias Stokka), intitolato MUSIC WITHOUT NOTES datato 2006 con ben 2 tracce inedite esclusive.
Realizzato utilizzando un Fender Rhodes e vari sintetizzatori, oltre che a breaks e drum machine, il sound, di cui c’era già qualche anticipazione in “Block Notes”(lo storico album del duo Stokka & MadBuddy) anticipa lo stile che ha caratterizzato il noto producer fino ad oggi.
Con una ristampa in sole 200 copie in vinile nero 180 grammi, incisione DMM per una massima resa qualitativa, “MUSIC WITHOUT NOTES” è stato accuratamente rimasterizzato da Deva all’Anticamera Delle Arti Studio di Corigliano-Rossano e sancisce ufficialmente la collaborazione fra Aldebaran Records ed Unlimited Struggle.
“Stavo vivendo un periodo particolare, era uscito Block Notes e avevo voglia di aria nuova, così mi sono concentrato su questo suono più astratto e ho dato libero sfogo senza alcuna pre-concezione. Avevo inoltre da poco il Rhodes e ho provato a cimentarmi in delle robe più melodiche, da qui è uscito MWN, tutto assolutamente spontaneo. Alcuni mi hanno detto che quello è stato il primo disco di “wonky beat” in Italia, anche se questo termine mi sta parecchio stretto, io dico solo che erano dei beats con un approccio diverso dal solito, abbastanza avanti per l’Italia di quel periodo“.

With the original UK 7” of this release now as rare as hen’s teeth, and with the group having recently ‘reformed’ for one last album together, the Mr Bongo replica re-release of this 1990 masterpiece by Gang Starr couldn’t be more timely.
The now-legendary duo of DJ Premier and Guru dropped this at the height of hip-hop’s sampling of jazz, which had led to a creative leap forward for the genre. Yet while others plundered in the dark, this instant classic wore its influences on its sleeve and paid verbal homage to the musicians they were sampling. The “melodious funk” of “Thelonious Monk” gets namechecked, while the track samples two of his records, including 1958’s Bop gem ‘Light Blue’.
While both versions presented here have common elements, the ‘Movie Mix’ – so-named for the song’s appearance on the soundtrack to Spike Lee’s mythic jazz biopic ‘Mo’ Better Blues’ – goes in a few different directions to the ‘Video Mix’. Rather than just drop in an instrumental for the B-side, DJ Premier instead shows his versatility by switching up the base track (Kool & The Gang’s 1971 ‘Dujii’) and layering in other samples. In more ways than one, his virtuosity here echoes the improvisation of a jazz musician, akin to Denzel Washington’s Bleak in the movie.
Of course, he’s not the only show in town. The late Guru’s voice is as mellifluous as an instrument itself here, his potted history of the genre and the artists of jazz delivered with his own unmistakable cadence. Without this record, would he have gone on to make his ‘Jazzmatazz’ projects

1988 is the follow up to Knxwledge’s official debut album Hud Dreems (Stones Throw, 2015). The same year Hud Dreems was released Knx worked with Kendrick Lamar on To Pimp a Butterfly, earning the producer his first Grammy. A duo with Anderson .Paak called NxWorries was formed around the same time. Their single “Suede” became a viral hit, vaulting the singer to R&B stardom, and their album Yes Lawd! followed through on that song’s immense promise. Knx and Paak have quietly continued collaborating, and some of the new work is heard on 1988.
A prolific artist in the extreme sense of the word, Knxwledge continues to redefine instrumental hip-hop almost in real-time with a stream of beat tapes numbering in the hundreds on Bandcamp, and video remixes on Instagram.
This prolific output began early. 1988 takes its name from the fact that much of the new record was created that very year, when Knx was an infant. As the story is told, little baby Knx was left alone by his mother for just a few moments and crawled to a family member’s vintage SP–12 sampler. When his mother returned he had already produced his first beats and nearly mastered the machine. These tracks, all produced before nap time while rocking a Nike diaper, were stored over the years on floppy discs, then brought to his studio in recent months where they were finished up, mixed, and mastered.

Starring Klaus Kinksi, Margaret Lee, and Annabella Incontrera, this film is from a story by the king of the macabre, Lucio Fulci.
For the first time ever on vinyl, this mysterious and charming soundtrack, leads off with a sensuous main theme; a powerful track with great harpsichord chords progression and a melody that really stands out.
Maleficent sounds, gothic atmospheres, and alarming voices, all make this soundtrack captivating yet disturbing at the same time.
The tracklist also includes the uptempo "beat-at-cinecittà" classic "Soho", used to accompany the ever-present party scene in psychedelic swinging London. The soundtrack also contains a proto-version of the more famous "Dies Irae", from "Lo strano vizio della signora Wardh", which inspired Quentin Tarantino for "Kill Bill - Vol. 1".

Quest Called Tribe begins with the series of portraits drawn by Stéphane Carricondo in 2017 dedicated to Hip Hop legends.
As close partner in art Medline proposed to create a soundtrack for them, and first interpreting ATCQ's classics with elements of the past, present and future.
The best way to materialize this multidimensional tribute was obviously a vinyl. And it's the one we unveil today.
On the visual side:
ATCQ's portraits are composing the front cover and, assembled into a great scene, are printed on a colorful A2 poster. Stéphane Carricondo's natural lines are highlighting each member's soul map. The alchemy of the dark ink on emptiness gives to them an impressive sparkle of life .
On the musical side:
The classic themes are transformed into a polymorphic fusion, were jazz, funk and soul from the original sample sources converse with Tribe's characteristic beats. Medline added a hint of his magic, unique rhythms, improvisations, arrangements, original orchestration and inspired melodies.
The album is an ode to the band that marked both artist's life and mind. A cultural print and school of sound that designed Hip Hop foundations. With a blooming expression Medline and Stéphane Carricondo are going to the roots of ATCQ in a quest for the tribe
