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.

MR. OWL – ‘Consumers Become Producers’ Mixtape feat Jack Wilson
As paradoxical as it sounds, artists might be the ultimate consumers: sponges on a reconnaissance mission to absorb what they will later wring into the bucket of their chosen craft – the resulting alchemy thus becoming the artist’s own creation. On “Consumers Become Producers”, Pittsburgh’s Mr. Owl has soaked up and seamlessly blended some of today’s most cutting-edge independent music into which poet/MC Jack Wilson regurgitates his own slop of socially-conscious wit and sharp hip-hop influenced wordplay to produce a groundbreaking mix of everything Owl and Wilson represent as creative consumers. Digest accordingly.

PRAISE FOR “CONSUMERS BECOME PRODUCERS”:
“Now here is a real treat. A supreme mix from MR. OWL, he has gathered artists/producers from all over this planet to present us a truly amazing experience. Including beats by folks like MALEFIQUE, YAHN LOOKE PICKARD, PROF.LOGIK, HANDBOOK, and many many many more, this mix ups the ante by throwing the master of ceremonies, Jack Wilson, on some supreme spoken word trip that lasts nearly the greater length of this epic collection.”
-ChrisGFR @ Grappa Frisbee Records
“Although I often find myself frustrated and depressed by the barrage of bullshit that floods my Soundcloud inbox; however, sometimes, whilst wading through the anonymous links of producers longing for recognition, there is a moment of magic. And this Consumers Become Producers mixtape by Mr. Owl (of Dominant Force) and Jack Wilson is one of the more inventive concepts (and uses for Soundcloud), I’ve heard in a while. Essentially, Mr. Owl spent tireless hours canvassing Soundcloud for various beats, compiled a mixtape of his favorite finds… and enlisted MC/poet, Jack Wilson, to rhyme over them all with the overarching theme of the musical consumer creating something new out of these Soundcloud treasures. … This is a brilliant concept that is well executed. Tell your friends.”
-JERKSTORE @ Sick Chirpse
“I just got round to checking out Mr. Owl & Jack Wilson’s “Consumers Become Producers” mix which I am sharing with you here right now. This one features just over 47 minutes of music courtesy of a bunch of great up and coming producers including Prof.Logik, Ben Jamin, Malefique, Handbook and many more! On top of that, you have Jack Wilson blessing the beats with his vocals. … Be on the lookout for another project from Mr. Owl/Collective Resonance soon”
-minipimp @ Collective Resonance
“Hip-Hop in my opinion though I love it remains a genre that could benefit from experimentation and new ideas. Recently I had the pleasure of linking up with a Pittsburgh MC by the name of Jack Wilson. Due to a mutual respect for each others craft we he it off immediately. Soon after I was blessed with the opportunity to be featured on a track with him. The tracks production was not conventional to say the least. MR. Owl an abstract beat maker and Pittsburgh native laced it with a style that set it apart from anything I had ever conceived could be a hip hop track but nonetheless the blend was magical. Just recently both Jack and the Owl himself teamed up and created the project for which the cover is shown. Sparatic in nature this entire project maintains a mind-bending scheme that is somehow intoxicating. Edgy syllable placement and an other worldly sound seen to expand to spark a metaphor that could not be put into words. With that said I suggest you click the link and spark the auditory senses.”
-Avant-Garde @ Endless Euphony
“Mr. Owl always deliver hot mixes, this one is none other than genius. Give it a listen people!”

MR. OWL – ‘They Don’t Care About Little Birds’ Mixtape
The year is 2011. Corporate greed is hell bent on exterminating the pesky underground musicians who are cutting into the profits of the major labels. They don’t care about little birds, including Mr. Owl – and they don’t want you to care either – “ignore owls or lose job” as they put it. This mixtape tells the story of the struggle of true heads against the bigwigs who want to destroy all real shit. Bulldozing creativity from coast to coast, they intend to wipe out the natural beauty of our audible world and replace it with the musical equivalent of tourist hotels, strip malls, and pancake houses. “You gotta start thinking like an outlaw” if you want to fight back. Spectacular selections from 26 of the dopest artists worldwide constitute the resistance. Listen to this mixtape, because the very future of underground music is at stake. “Ladies and gentlemen, these kids are a little misguided, they have no proof of any owls. Do you folks see any owls? Because I don’t!” Yes, we do see owls. And we know that the powers-that-be are scared of what’s to come.

June’s gonna be a pretty big month here at Brainstorm with two fresh faces to the night.
Mr. Owl, Pittsburgh
Dominant Force
Chris and his Dominant Force crew have been putting in some serious work around the city these days doing everything from magazine release parties to parties at Remedy, New Amsterdam, and more. I recently found out Chris is also a talented downtempo producer as well, so I knew right away he needed to play Brainstorm. Soundcloud here…. do it: http://soundcloud.com/mr-owl-1
Brent Still Life, Cleveland
Savory Audio, Badman Press, 18th Audio
Brainstorm’s first out of town guest! I’ve known Brent a long time and he’s always been one of those people I wished lived in Pittsburgh…. so I figured rather than wait for him to catch on, I’d bring him through. The technical and stylistic maturity in his DJing and original production work make him fit the bill for Brainstorm perfectly. Rather than try to describe it in words, just check out his soundcloud for a sampling of his spin on dubstep, drum n bass, funky and bass music in general: http://soundcloud.com/brent-still-life
Plus resident, Keeb$ playing a smooth blend of who knows what.
SoundCloud Pages
Check out DJ SPAED and MR. OWL on Soundcloud!
“Don’t sleep on these pages which are always updated with new production work and DJ mixes from the impeccable duo, check in and let these boulders of audio euphoria pummel you into dust!! Those unfamiliar with SoundCloud have been seriously missing out on what I feel is an online catalog of some of the best in current production work in any imaginable genre. Superb musicians and DJs lurk under the radar of bullshit commercial nonsense, and fans and creators of great underground music can excavate until they will surely find something they’re into. Happy diggin fams!” -DJ Spaed

MR. OWL & Punch3nello: “I’m Different” Single Released
Punch3nello is doing big things in Miami right now, and as such we have decided to release another single off of his much-anticipated upcoming EP “Sun Rays & Grays”!
“I’m Different (aka. Clouds Disperse)” is a funky Mr. Owl production that harkens back to the early days of hip-hop, where things were about having fun, feeling good, and getting your life right. The concept of the beat is the calm beauty after a rainstorm, when the clouds disperse and everything comes into focus. Punch tells the story of where he came from and his current jetsetting lifestyle as a musician and mural artist. Take a listen and you’ll understand why this dude is developing such heavy buzz!

Born and raised in Philly, and currently living in Los Angeles, he blends the east- and west-coast styles to make some of the realest underground hip-hop you’ve ever heard. Jhak spits his intensely original rhyme style on twenty-one of his favorite borrowed instrumentals, and DJ Spaed cuts and blends all the tracks into a 54 minute set of continuous illness, never letting the groove stop.
Let this mixtape whet your appetite for a dope and prolific up-and-coming emcee, because P-Strix will be releasing several Mr. Jhak albums and mixtapes soon, including the highly anticipated “Who Killed the Page Wizurd?” LP with all original production by Mr. Owl. Keep your ears open because this dude is on fire!

MR. OWL – ‘The Higher Mental Plane’ Hip-Hop Mixtape
Mr. Owl’s hottest mixtape yet! This jawn features all songs with the word “high” in the title, as well as some philosophically-oriented vocal samples sprinkled here and there that frame the “political” concepts of the mixtape… as usual the steelo is both fun and thought-provoking, and most importantly nothing but the dopest of tracks!
