Looped Horn Sets, Piano Fragments, Floating Chants

Posted by CHRISTOPHER FRIZZELLE on May 31 at 14:35 PM

For tonight, Charles Mudede suggests:

Pete Rock
(TRUE HIPHOP) By the middle of the ’90s, every hiphop producer was imitating Pete Rock’s style of echoing looped horn sets, piano fragments, and floating chants. His sound could be heard on the streets of Paris (Supreme NTM’s Paris Sous les Bombes), Tokyo (DJ Krush’s Big City Lover), and New York City (Queen Latifah’s Black Reign). To this day, his impact on hiphop can be felt in the music of local producers like Vitamin D and DJ Sabzi. Pete Rock is the number-one soul brother.

We tried to go to the War Room on Sunday night for what we thought was "old school underground hip hop", but it was closed. Anyone know what was up with that?

I dunno - but Monday nights are super fun, you should check it.

their website says that they reserve sundays for private parties.

btw, pete rock cancelled, which was sad, but prince paul did an amazing fast-paced set that took us from the beginning hip hop to the 90's.
