Heres a visual blast of how my man Sentric gets down. Filmed in Hawaii @ The Beat Root Grand Championships, put on by the LightSleepers camp. 808!
Greetings world & fellow record fiends/vinyl enthusiasts/and dusty cratediggers WORLDWIDE!!-
So, I always thought this place was a hidden gem or secret spot of mine, but apparently words gotten out! My favorite record spot (in my humble birthplace of Monterey, CA.) and always my first stop when back in the 831, is getting a lil’ shine in the audio/visual form of a documentary…thats whatsup!
Much love to Bob for never being too busy to talk music and giving deals (like letting his entire 25cent section go home with me for a measly 20bills!!). Even though I know he secretly resented the fact that I was taking his records to make hip-hop with, he’s still my dude!! Can’t wait to go back…
Check it out!

The RE:ssassination of J.J. By The Coward EarDrumz (2008): Similar to the Kill Bill remixes, except this time I lifted samples and soundbytes from the film “The Assassination of Jesse James By The Coward Robert Ford.” The original compositions by Nick Cave & Warren Ellis were lush and beautifully haunting. How it got passed up at the Academy Awards for original score, I dont understand…but what do they know?! I made the beats for this one in a day, and mixed it down the next. I then went through the movie again to find dialogue that fit well with the instrumentals, and sprinkle those on top to help add to the texture and paint a more vivid picture. And presto…”The RE:ssassination!” I also gotta give a special thanks and huge shout out to my main man Sentric (www.myspace.com/beatmanipulator) for coming thru in the clutch and hooking me up with a copy of the soundtrack! Much luv homie!
Made during a 2007 exodus to Japan. Pretty much a small chunk of the records I picked up out there.

Back To Black remixes (2007):
Amy Winehouse’s “Back To Black” album inspired me in a way that most current music just doesn’t. This girls got SOUL! without trying too hard to be “vintage” or “throwback” or “taking it back.” When listening to this album, I kept hearing things and thinking “that’d be a dope break…those horns are filthy…what if i chopped that?” so I started with When Will We Get The Time, and decided not to stop there, ended up making beats using samples from the the entire album.
Much love & Thanks to Miss Winehouse!
Kill Bill Remixes (2004):
Samples and soundbytes lifted from the (vinyl) soundtrack of Quentin Tarantino’s Kill Bill movies.
Just a lil’ sumthing to play in the Pussy Wagon!
