Nah… none of that with this one… only new to you versions and songs… including a previously unreleased jawn from DJ Def Chad’s archives. So download it… bump it.”

“One of the core members of The Impossebulls, DJ Def Chad is set to drop his incredible C-Doc produced debut blocSonic album, ‘The Black Holocaust’, next week. Chances are, the album will be the new standard by which all C-Doc production is measured against.
Today we’ve got your first taste of what you can expect, with the release of the first single The Remedy b/w Beef. As you’ll soon hear, DJ Def Chad delivers! This is HIP-HOP, people.
Thanks to C-Doc, the rest of The Impossebulls and Chuck D. Thanks especially goes out to DJ Def Chad, although you’ve made your way onto various blocSonic releases thus far, it’s truly an honor to be able to bring your music to blocSonic’s listeners. Welcome to blocSonic!”

“Back in December we closed out 2013 with the INCREDIBLE debut album, Unattainable, by Maryland based Deadly Combo — a group comprised of brothers CM aka Creative and RM aka Bigg-M. That album’s sound harkens back to the classic early to mid 1990s era of hip-hop with it’s big thumping beats and a focus on lyrical dexterity. With that in mind, it’s absolutely no surprise that producer C-Doc, who also draws from classic boom bap hip-hop for his sonic palette, was drawn to and inspired by it, to remixx a few tracks.
I’m very happy to present to you The Unattainable RE:mixxes! An EP containing 7 fresh new remixxes by the one and only C-Doc.
A very special thanks goes out to CM, RM & C-Doc for being a part of what makes blocSonic the place to find the RAW, UNCUT & REAL Hip-Hop!”

“All in the matter of moments, a mysterious film suddenly appears in the world and then just as instantly it is lost… at that same moment, Lyndon Scarfe is abruptly awoken from slumber and he’s inexplicably compelled to write the soundtrack for the very same ephemeral film. He does just that and the result is inspired!
Well, of course, the previous paragraph is pure fiction, however, the music IS truly inspired. Think John Carpenter, Clint Mansell, Cliff Martinez or ‘The Warriors’. This is a soundtrack in desperate need of a film of equal caliber!
A very special thank you to Lyndon for allowing blocSonic to be part of such a special release!”

“British musician Lyndon Scarfe has been involved in music production since the early 1980’s. Originally keyboards player in the post-punk band the Danse Society he has since made dance music under the name UltraGlider, ambient and drone under his own name, done a number of remixes (including some for blocSonic), released a collaboration album with Liam Stewart (also on blocSonic) and is currently the guitarist with the Black Lamps.
Next week, Lyndon releases his brand new solo album, Music For A Lost Film, right here at blocSonic! Today, we’ve got the first excellent single from that album.
A very special thank you to Lyndon Scarfe for making blocSonic the home for his great new solo music!”

“You could say that Deadly Combo’s new album Unattainable has been a lifetime in the making. RM aka Bigg-M and his younger brother CM aka Creative have long been rocking the mic, individually, yet rarely have they been able to do so together. Now, after many years of trying to make a full-length project happen, they’ve finally been able to… and it is most definitely worth the wait! They’ve pulled together a host of MCs and producers for it and everyone brought their “A” game to bring you an album packed with that classic NYC boom-bap. Heads will nod to this.”

“Anniversaries are always a good way to demarcate your progress or development, whatever it is that you want to keep track of. For a creative artist, anniversaries can be especially important. In this day and age when to be one, it means that, unless you’re one of the few who the mainstream deem marketable, you’re more than likely doing so without the expectation of monetary gain… mostly for the love of the art. Ten years as a completely independent artist is one hell of a feat and Tha Silent Partner has reached that milestone! What better way to celebrate 10 years than with a new album… another installment in his excellent Platters series, Platters, Act 5: The Silent Anniversary (10 Years Of Tha Silent Partner). In my opinion, it’s the best one yet!”

“Over the past couple years, C-Doc has brought with him an incredible group of releases that he’s been involved with. Mported Flows’ new album is no exception. Originally set for release back in 2007, for whatever reason it never officially saw the light of day. It’s a shame, too, because it deserves an audience.
It’s truly a pleasure for me to finally be the one who brings you Three Pronged Fork. Unlike what mainstream rap fans have come to expect, Mported Flows is an MC with plenty to say. Whether it’s about the state of Hip-Hop in ‘Gangstas, Guns, Liquor’ and ‘Mic Drones’, providing advice in ‘Advice’, speaking about the love for his son in ‘Sonny Morning’ or getting deeply introspective on ‘Last Track’, there’s no question about whether his lyrics spring from his soul or not. Add to that the solid production throughout and you’ve got a must hear album.
Hip-Hop never went away… I know that… but still… Hip-Hop IS back. Bump this.
Thanks to Mported, C-Doc and everyone else involved in the making of this album. Incredible work.
Of course, thanks again to you for downloading and listening. I hope we continue to deliver the music you love. Please spread the word about blocSonic, if you enjoy what we do. Remember… everything we release is cool to share! Always keep the music moving… share it… blog it… podcast it! If you’re in radio… support independent music and broadcast it! We don’t stop.”
