“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!”

“After backpacking across the country, dropping acid, having sex with hundreds of women and developing a xanax dependency, the man formerly known as Rick Heisz has returned. However, much has changed. Spending months sleeping in the backseat of a 1996 Jeep and neglecting reality has created a downward spiral. His friends now hate him, family has abandoned him, girlfriend dumped him and former drug dealers will not sell to him. It was time for Rick to reinvent himself with a new outlook on life. On July 18th, 2013, Rick woke up dazed on a sunny beach in the middle of nowhere. Running his toes beneath the sand, spending his last hard earned dollars on a pack of cheese slices and a bottle of cheap wine… he gazed into the sun once and Danny Lover was born. Produced by 19.thou$and, Recorded, mixed, mastered by Micon.”

“De Gulden Snede series evolved as a medium through which we could shed light on genuine artists pushing forward the stylistic barriers of electronic music. As the years progressed so has this noble concept.
For the second installment, De Gulden Snede Vol. II, we seek to share with our audience the sounds, ideas, and artistic movements (music and visual art) weíve been exploring over the past year. Besides the altruistic tendencies, this compilation serves as a platform to showcase emerging artists, beat makers and producers associated with INI Movement. De Gulden Snede Vol. II is a testament to the hard work and creative perseverance of featured artists. On a broader level, this compilation is a curatorial statement to the sound of our label.”

“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.”
