An industrial beat that bumps bass I feel this track could provide a hip-hop to industrial link, something I have waited for yet never seen as my teen years were spent enamoured with industrial music. This video has some great low budget SFX.
Nine Inch Nails has recently put out a fan made tour video, This One is On Us, from the 2008 tour check it out HERE.

Electric Soul
Yet another clip from the NEW DANCE SHOW in Detroit 1980’s television show. This clip has some cool VHS tracking errors. Detroit techno is the ill-est and deserves more shine as it has influenced dance music indelibly. I love how this show mixes techno with hip-hop it is way ahead of its time.

Al Jourgensen(Ministry) interview
I was and still am a huge Ministry fan. Go download “The Land of Rape and Honey” for some real ear bleeding industrial music that album got me through highs school especially after I got kicked out for weed possession. This interview is too short but he does touch on some good points how getting signed to a major label will not solve all your problems. Industrial music has faded a bit (except the always touring Nine Inch Nails), yet I always though the mix of hip hop with industrial beats would be exciting, maybe, maybe not. Heres a live video from one of their dvd’s for a great song “Just One Fix”.

This is the first teaser track from out new label PHOENIX RECORDS and it’s from one of our new fresh to death artist’s BLACK DOMINOES have a listen and read more about him in the interview below. Look for his debut album in the fall and go see him live at the ESPERANZA show with B.O.B coming soon in ATL….
Black Dominoes puts in work…
Kellen Crosby aka the music producer/recorder/remixer/DJ ‘Black Dominoes’ has been in Atlanta since the age of five-
his mother lives in north Atlanta and his father lives in Cabbagetown.
He’s done gigs with Klever, Flosstradamus, Diplo, and many others, and is currently working on a bevy of originals and remixes
for future release. You can catch him recording tunes in his bedroom and kicking it with the 4th Ward Heroes
at their studio on John Wesley Dobbs…and riding his bike all over town. He just designed a bunch of T-shirts for ATL
peoples ESPERANZA (www.esperanza-atl.com.)
He only stepped behind the decks and started messing with music for the first time a year and a half ago, but his first remix
(of Vampire Weekend’s ‘Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa’) rose from the internet
to gain spins on BBC Radio 1 and NPR in the States.
His second remix (of Fleet Foxes’ ‘White Winter Hymnal’) was reviewed
by Rolling Stone.
His latest remix is for the Boston band Passion Pit’s single ‘The Reeling,’
recorded with a mixture of analog and digital sounds in Atlanta’s 4th Ward.
ZONE3 caught up with him at Octane for a minute to ask him about how he got caught up into all this.
Kellen aka b.dominoes
“It was weird, man. I studied political science and philosophy in undergrad but I hated law school.
What happened was I was out in LA with like no money and no car for a year. On weekends i ended up always taking this train
into the middle of the city and crashing at my baby brother’s place on Cahuenga.”
“I would basically just ride my bike around town and see what I could get into. I would go to the Smell, which was kind of like
what the Eyedrum is here—a small nonprofit arty spot for weird noise bands. I would go see the L.A. Philharmonic by myself and then
ride over there or go scam my way into some swanky club.”
“Then Daft Punk played at Coachella. Before that every DJ in LA was playing mash-ups and hip-hop.
After that, Steve (Aoki) and Frankie (Chan, of iheartcomix) started doing all-electronic DJ sets and it got really popular.”
“I found out I hated law school and I wasnt good at it. I moved back to Atlanta and was doing construction 2 years ago when I saw Diplo DJ
at the Drunken Unicorn. I had been a record collector for a minute and Bean from Lennys had asked me to start coming in on Saturdays and spinning.”
“I had never DJ’d before and surely I sucked, but I didn’t care. It was fun and it kind of grew from there.”
“Now i’ve done over 100 gigs—-but I still have a lot to learn.”
“The last couple months I’ve really been into recording original stuff and doing remixes and stuff. I’ve been running stuff by a lot of people
I know that know what they’re doing—guys like Billy (Captain Crunk) and Adam Trimble and Bradley O, who are the two best sound engineer dudes I know.”
“Now I’m excited that people all over the world are dowloading stuff that I made here. I’m really interested to see where all this goes.”

The FREAKBEAT – INTERNATIONAL DJ INTERVIEW SERIES
Episode one KAPTAIN CADILLAC (France)
I am proud to present the first in a series of interviews with some of my favorite international dj’s (and I am open to submissions or suggestions as long as the dj is progressive and fresh). I met Kaptain Cadillac over the internet and he is a beast of a dj. Check his myspace below for many free mixes and check the Freaky Mix below he made especially for this interview. (the following interview was translated from French)
Z3: Please introduce yourself and tell us where you’re from and what you represent?
KC: Yo ! I’m Kaptain Cadillac, I’m a 23 years old Parisian, DJ/Producer/graphic designer, and member of the Booty Call Crew. Big defender of ghetto music’s, especially booty-bass, NOLA bounce and juke which I play under the name of Leatherface with the collective Nightmare Juke Squad. Regarding my aka “KC”, I wanted one which sticks to the kind of music I play and let’s be honest, Kaptain Cadillac or Kap Cap sounds wicked cool ha ha !
Z3: Growing up in France what were your early musical influences?
KC: I started playing as a dj in a local band when I was in high school, and then, step by step, I’ve moved to funk music, house and electro, and finally discovered ghetto-tech which was my first contact with the actual version of bass music.
That was a revelation! The power that electronic music can have on the dance floor mixed with the energy of the Hip-Hop immediately attracted me.
Z3: When did you first start production/making tracks or remix’s? What was the first track you made? What did you use to make it?
KC: I started in about 2001 by doing some additional work on FL for the HH band I used to play with. The way I used to play has changed since the time I started, the way I used the computer is changing too. Since 2 years things really start moving thanks to Myspace which is how I first met people who share my passion, like Marvy Da Pimp, Freeze DBH and DJ Kesmo which are the actual members of the Booty Call Crew.
Z3: Describe your equipment setup for your live shows and in the studio?
KC: I first started to play vinyl so what I thought would be the closest way to reproduce the technique is Serato Scratch Live. It offers you so many choices and possibilities (including stopping breaking you shoulder by carrying your flight case all around!) In studios I’m using FL Studio and Ableton Live with many plugins
Z3: How were you introduced to Juke ,Bmore,&Ghettotech? Please tell about influential classic records for you in the genre’s.
KC: I discovered ghetto tech with releases on vinyl, so I started to get into it a bit closer.
What had the effect of a punch was listening to Godfather Chronicles very first time ! It became for me like a Bible of ghetto tech. I then discovered juke from Chicago, bmore club and Nola bounce. Internet is so fascinating for all the music it allows you to discover and also artists that are not signed on any majors. That was still impossible 10 years ago !
Z3: What does booty shake mean to you?
KC: A magic dance … hypnotical !
FB: What is so unique about French dance music? Please describe the club scene as you see it in France.
KC:The power of French producers is to manage to bring fresh air in old kinds of music we all know. Clubbing artists and producers represent a pretty big movement here in France, especially in Paris where you find all the styles like techno fidget house, electro, dubstep, hiphop etc … At the moment the buzz is around mixing different styles, with a big effervescence particularly for the crossover HipHop & electronic dance music.
Z3: What is your favorite club/venue in France?
KC: Social Club and that, for several reasons. First because this is where we are dj residents with the BC party every month (by the past we have booked Diplo, DJ Funk, DJ Godfather, Sinden and Gantman for the next BC the june 26th). The second reason is the line up of the club. I reckon the program are always interesting and innovative, with quality and not necessarily facility. Now there is a lot of clubs in Paris, it s only up to you to pick up the right party to go to !
Z3: Who do you want to work with who you have not yet?
KC: Well actually I’d love to work with Mc’s from New Orleans or any MC who can rock ghetto beats. The NO MC’s have such a huge energy, it s impressive.
Z3: What releases can we look forward to? And where can we buy them?
KC: We have the booty call ep vol 1, 2, 3 on Databass, with tracks of each member of the booty call crew (Marvy Da Pimp, Freeze DBH, DJ Kesmo & me), with ghetto tech tracks. I also have 3 EP under my darkside aka, Leatherface, available on Juke Trax records. A track of Marvy & me is on the Top Billin’s Sexy Time 12’.
at the moment we are working our own label, booty call records, designed for bass music, with a first EP 100% booty house. stay tuned !
Z3: Where in France are the most beautiful women located?
KC: Well, actually they are everywhere, you just need to look closer cause they are discreet. France is full of pretty girls !
FB: For an American in France what are some of the best places to pick-up French women?
KC: Definitely in Night clubs, where music drives them out of control & wild !
Z3: How are the strip-club’s in France?
KC:Damn ! But I’ve never been in a strip club ! Strip clubs here are not like your guys, where it can be entertaining with good music … In fact it s pretty bogus here. It’s the kind of place you go with your mates before getting married, or very expensive and luxurious clubs not that funny …
Z3: Do you think the American-France beef will ever end?
KC: Clever people don’t have any interest in this stupid feud.
Z3: Where do you see yourself in the pantheon of the history of dance music?
KC: Well, attending the number of good artists Pantheon will probably be totally packed any time soon, and anyway I would prefer to be a butler or a jetter in a club !
Z3: Do you have any shout-out’s? Please list all your links you want people to see.
KC: Shout out to all the booty call family, be trash fam’, drugstore, clone x, la MJC, and thanks to Gaëlle and all my supporters.

“No Mo Play in GA” by Pastor Troy
In our myopic modern society it’s easy to forget when Master P’s music ruled the streets of Atlanta (late 90’s). This song is a reaction to that from, at the time, an unknown Pastor Troy and is one of the best diss songs of Southern Hip-Hop.
What has me bumping this at 7am this morning is my feelings towards many of the fresh transplants who have infiltrated Atlanta. This is no new news as this has been happening steadily in the past five years, and it has only increased the major inferiority complex of Atlanta. People flocked to Atlanta, the Motown of the South, to pursue their dreams while still perpetuating the idea that only big shit happens in NYC or LA. I have disdain for many of these non-locals merely because it has watered down ATL’s culture and spawned many punks that deserve to get beat down. So all you Cutter’s out there unite! note this rant is unfinished and will be addendumized at a later date…

“Bass Rock Express” by MC ADE (adrian does everything)
This 1985 track is widely considered to be the first Miami bass track ever recorded. Definitely a nod to Kraftwerk, I guess “express” in hip-hop signifies electro and “connection” is disco.

HIP HOP SAMPLE SETS link1 link2
This is a great site I just discovered where they take hip-hop albums and make a mp3 zip file of all the original sample tracks used for the album. All free and seem to be working thus I hope this does not get shut down.
1 year agoThis is a video I shot for Digital Soul for the Dirty Awards. The Shawty Lo v.s TI beef is one that revolves around the fact that TI is not from Bankhead thus Shawty Lo is the proper king of Bankhead. Both sides have numerous youtube videos where they go to hood spots in Bankhead and talk to locals about who they represent. This was my third year of filming the Dirty awards and it may be the last for the show that gives awards to the greatest in southern hip-hop.
1 year agoOne of my all time favorite Hip Hop tracks DJ VADIM with Motion Man “The Terrorist.
Just got back from DC and the inauguration Dj Z-Trip used this track on his obama mix released before the election.
