Jack Wilson & Keor Meteor – Enter to Exit EP
Paris and New York, obviously two of the most influential cities in the history of culture, come together on Jack Wilson and Keor Meteor’s new EP “Enter to Exit” (Parliament of Strix Records).
Stream free / Download for Pay-What-You-Want via Bandcamp
Originally from Pittsburgh, Jack moved to NYC in April 2012 – around the same time Paris’s Keor had held an online audition via SoundCloud for MCs to feature on a mixtape + subsequent EP. Jack was one of the artists chosen, so with a fresh selection of beats in a pulsating new city and no TV or internet, he wrote 8/9 of the lyrics to “Enter to Exit” (along with a half dozen poems) during his first two months in NY. Since his studio was still in an extra bedroom in Baltimore, he recorded rough demos through his iPhone to send to Keor and thus began the process.

MR. OWL – DEEP DUB SEA Mixtape
A murder mystery at sea unfolds slowly, sample by sample, as relentless waves of bass massage the psyche.
Take a sailboat across the ocean… one will travel weeks or even months before it reaches the next shore. You just stare at the ocean, there is nothing around, you’re grasping for the smallest particle of information… a bird flying overhead, something floating in the water, something that you thought was floating in the water, some seaweed that has a pattern in it that might tell you something… because youre completely isolated from your surroundings.
In the endless sea of blue lie the spirits that hundreds of years ago gave birth to ghostly tales, tales that are as old as the sea…

Pittsburgh Soundcloud Meetup feat. Pandemic Pete, Cryoverb & Sun Turret
Wednesday, March 6th 2013 @ 7pm-10pm
Brillobox upstairs – 4104 Penn Ave
Our Pittsburgh Soundcloud Meetup group will assemble again on Wednesday March 6th. We welcome musicians, producers, vocalists, radio broadcasters and other sound professionals, as well as any and all members of the interested public, to join us. The atmosphere of our meetups is casual and workshop-style. We would like to thank our new hosts at Brillobox – we will now be enjoying a proper club sound system, a projector with projection screen, and upgraded seating!
We will begin the evening with an introductory discussion about the new Soundcloud interface changes and features, hosted by our friend DJ Spaed.
Then we get into the sessions. Here’s how it works: Each session is an opportunity for a local Soundcloud user – whether producer, DJ, radio host or otherwise – to share their chosen craft with us. With the aid of video projection and full sound system, the session host will take us through their process or lead a discussion about a topic of relevance, with the opportunity for the group to ask questions. This will be audio-recorded and archived to Soundcloud for all the world to hear.
SESSION #1: PANDEMIC PETE
SESSION #2: CRYOVERB
SESSION #3: SUN TURRET
Other ideas for future meetups are welcome, please get involved and become part of our thriving offline community!

SPAED – ‘HIGH ART’ Album
“DJ SPAED, representing Pittsburgh Dominant Force, recently released his second LP entitled ‘High Art’ on bandcamp.com. SPAED’s style of frustrated hip-hop breakbeats, swing rhythms, vinyl ripped melodies and stereo percussion are giving artists like Flying Lotus and J-Dilla (RIP) a run for their money. SPAED is one of the most technical hip-hop DJ’s I’ve met and his production skills are no less impressive. Listening to the lead synths on his tracks ‘Light Site’ and ‘Nothin But Heels On’ show his keyboard talent, SPAED says he plays all the synths live. The processed vocals on the track ‘In the Rain Again’ are an awesome mixture of wah wah, vinyl record slow stops and filters that really expand on SPAED’s technical nature. This is a 20 track album and not one song on it could be considered filler. It’s available on Bandcamp in ‘MP3 320, FLAC, or just about any other format you could possibly desire’ with a ‘name your price’ price tag. I suggest you pick this one ASAP!” - Penpal @ BringinItToYou

Jack Wilson – ‘PHOTOPHOBIA’ EP
‘PHOTOPHOBIA’ (Parliament of Strix – MR. OWL’s label) is the fourth EP by Jack Wilson, a veteran Pittsburgh poet/ hip-hop artist currently residing in Brooklyn. The term “photophobia” means an extreme sensitivity to bright light. It causes side-effects which can include migraine headaches, from which Wilson himself has suffered since a child.
Stream free / Download for Pay-What-You-Want via Bandcamp
“I get auras before a migraine,” says Jack, “which start like tiny punctures in your field of vision, like if you’d stared at the sun too long. As a kid, the only relief from these horrible headaches came from Tylenol, a dark room, and a cold cloth. Of the two EPs I’m about to release – the other being ‘ENTER to EXIT’ with Paris producer Keor Meteor – this project is darker, heavier, deeper underground.”
The EP contains 9 tracks culled from 7 different producers, including two tracks from Derek Dumont whose production was also twice featured on Wiz Khalifa’s ‘Taylor Allderdice’ mixtape. Moscow’s Malefique contributes two tracks as well, while Mr. Owl, Reverrb, and Rephrazed (all from Pittsburgh), All These Fingers (Detroit), and Quiet Noise (Wales UK) round out the rest. Mr. Owl’s “Most Mighty” also features Delaware MC Avant-Garde, whom Wilson met in Baltimore where they both lived for a short time. Baltimore is also where most of the tracks on ‘PHOTOPHOBIA’ were actually written.
On Wednesday October 3rd, ‘PHOTOPHOBIA’ will be available to stream free RIGHT HERE at pstrix.com, and for choose-your-price download via Bandcamp. Wilson will be celebrating the release of both of his upcoming EPs on November 1st with Terence Degnan and Stillborn Identity at Goodbye Blue Monday in Bushwick, Brooklyn.

PRAISE FOR ‘PHOTOPHOBIA’:
“Earlier this year, I wrote a piece on an excellent hip hop mixtape entitled Consumers Become Producers. It had been some time since I had impressed by a hip hop mixtape and upon hearing Consumers Become Producers, I immediately began following Pittsburgh-based producer Mr. Owl and Brooklyn-via-Pittsburgh MC, Jack Wilson. I didn’t know at the time, but 2012 would be a GREAT year for hip hop. In fact, two of my favorite records released this year – of any genre – have been hip hop records (Killer Mike’s mindblowing R.A.P. Music and EL-P’s Cancer for Cure). So I was quite excited to come across the release of Jack Wilson’s latest pay-what-you-want EP entitled PHOTOPHOBIA on Parliament of Strix Records… I HIGHLY recommend checking out PHOTOPHOBIA and, as it is a “pay-what-you-want” release via Bandcamp, what do you really have to lose?!?”

MR. OWL’s experimental producer showcase continues with BROKEBEAT2:
July 2012 saw the premiere of MR. OWL’s BROKEBEAT, a party for showcasing the best experimental producers of hip-hop and electronic music bubbling up from the underground, local and national alike. Rising stars in futuristic hip-hop beatmaking from Queens, Columbus, Rochester and Pittsburgh converged to make Vol.1 – and its til-5am rager afterparty – a memorable night to say the least. Check out photos & videos of the first party HERE.
BROKEBEAT is back for round 2 on Friday Sept. 28th at 6119, this time bringing the focus back home to Pittsburgh to shine light on the hardest grinding visionaries in the local underground: FORTIFIED PHONETX, KINGPIN, OYO aka BLAKLUNG, DIVINE SEVEN, DJ NOETIK 5000 & SPAED. These performers were handpicked as much for their cross-genre aesthetics as their raw talent.
Each producer is hauling unique studio gear onstage to perform their original music in its natural habitat, while video artist CASEY HALLAS’ visual scheme includes overhead live camera feeds so the audience can see exactly what the artists’ hands are doing. Of course he will also be bringing his signature style of live video remixing to the HD projectors, here’s a sample of his BROKEBEAT2 visuals with a dope soundtrack by Moemaw Naedon:
FORTIFIED PHONETX is a versatile crew who can all craft beats as easily as they can rock mics. Each member will throw down a short set of their own production, capped off by a headline act of all three forming together. In celebration of the release of his brand new album “High Art”, heavyweight future-bap surgeon SPAED will host the festivities then close out the night by delivering the album in its entirety as part of his 2-3am late set.

Timebomb & Dominant Force present SUMMER TIME BOMBING, Mixed by MR. OWL
Graffiti is the first of hip-hop’s five elements. And this is true for Timebomb as well. Before there was a store, a booming website, an MTV countdown hosted inside, or features in Wiz Khalifa’s and Mac Miller’s video there was rush of the late night bombing mission and the million and one close calls that happen when a crew takes on an entire city with markers and cans for fame.
DJ Mr. Owl helps the fans remember these roots with a 77 minute conceptual blockbuster homage to street art and the fearless writers and vandals who make it happen in the trenches nightly. This end to end burner car pulls out of the station and into Timebomb on the 16th of August where fans of the art and the culture can get hard copies and limited edition t-shirts and stickers. Anyone who listens to this tape will have the mental ammo to be a king. If you slack on it then you might just be a toy so make sure you’re there. To honor the Mixtape and our roots Timebomb Shop is going to have a Summer Time Bombing Sale all day Thursday Aug 16th so stop by if you’re in the Pittsburgh Area.
