[UPDATE:I am currantly out of town on buisiness and do not have access to a few of the tracks intended for this project. I should be returning to Tampa bay on June 1st so the release of "Yawn of the Gemini" will follow in a few days after my return, Sorry for the hold up here is A Track from the project to hold you over - Dutch]
It is tracks like "SHAKE THIS" that you could play to a little timid grandmother in Idaho and she would be able to feel the message and passion beyond the track. This track is A heat rock and an absolute Instant classic. It is the lead single off of his album"STREET HOP"which brags DJ PREMIER as EXECUTIVE PRODUCER tho I believe "SHAKE THIS" is the only track he lended his production skills on (dont quote me on that tho). The VIDEO is directed byRIK CORDERO
Short side story:I sold my 92 caprice classic to my man RODNEY'S barber "D". real cool cat, didnt know him other than for the few minutes in which I would speak with him each week when I would scoop up my payment. I know he is aware of cats like Raekwon and ish and knew about his new album, but i think he is more used to the hiphop you hear on your local "CLEAR CHANNEL URBAN FM RADIO" so the last payment he asked me to drop him off somewhere on my way back home, So he gets in and i'm playing Illminds "Blaps Rhymes and Life" mixed with some other random bangers and beats to drive to and this song comes on "SHAKE THIS" - I could see the amazement on his face and how intense the emotions were when he heard this track pumping in the car and he turns to me and says where do you get music of this caliber.....Tho I was happy to see him get amped over dope hiphop. I gotta say I wouldnt think Royce is too obscure of a cat that he wouldnt know who he was, but it just made me think how many people would love the dope BOOMBAP or Jazzy or LAZY whatever HIPHOP or ANY GENRE for that matter that doesnt get played on the radio 40 times a day......but don't ever get exposed to it....
[CLICK HERE] - TO PURCHASE THE ALBUM (tho personally I can only put my stamp of approval on the single "SHAKE THIS" and maybe a few other joints... but hey, Do You!)
Tokyo Dawn is proud to announce the release of Comfort Fit’s long awaited third album, a massive 72 minutes master-piece of electronic music featuring contributions by Howard Marks, Blaktroniks, Wallis Bird, Caits Meissner and more.
Comfort Fit’s third album “Polyshufflez” holds 72 minutes of high fidelity based on polyrhythmic beat structures and postmodern pop perspectives, using music codes of genres such as Hip-Hop, Dub-Step and Techno merely as comic template.
Thoughts on the financial world crisis, off-key love songs, conversations with the devil, famous chess games and dozens of other unusual music ideas make this album more than just another head-nodders favourite.
Collaborations on the album include artists such as Howard Marks(also known from his best-seller “Mr Nice”), Blaktroniks, Wallis Bird, Gajah, Anita Tijoux, Dyno, Naboobia and Caitlin Meissner.
ABOUT COMFORT FIT
Comfort Fit’s versatile influences are ranging from early Detroit Techno and Minimal Electronica to Jazz and Hip Hop. But at the same time, he wisely manages to avoid these hyped and cliché overloaded music scenes.
The unusual depth of production characterizing his music output already attracted the attention of music enthusiasts all over the world. Beside his massive remix requests, several major brands have licensed his music for their advertisements. But he’s still down to earth, which can be seen during his fantastic, comedy-inspired live-shows.
A small and free-to-share teaser mix of the Polyshufflez LP is available here
Here are Two Very Dope Tracks that Comfort fit produced for my man Mishoo, The 1st is "I Wont Stop" which is from Mishoo's Ep "Born in the land of A thousand Hills" and the 2nd is "Nu Metropolis" which is featured on Comfort Fits "PolyShufflez" LP. Only thing is the version on the album is only Instrumental so I thought it was A Must to put the Actual version up for Everyone to hear! ENJOY!

I think I have died and gone to heaven. I am extremely surprised that this is my 1st time coming across this cat for more than a few reasons. Vohn is the song of Legendary Super Producer S1 (Symbolyc One of Strange Fruit Project), I was put onto S1 before the 1st SFP Project was released, Slop, Surreal, Illmind, Etc so Again, Im surprised that this is the 1st time his Extremely young and Extremely talented son slipped past my radar.
VohnBeatz, Using Reason 3 and a compact keyboard controller seems to have begun making beats at the age of 9/10 and is now 11 years old and is on a very good path. Just watching the videos you can see it in his head nod, that this is going to be one soulful force to be looking out for. Expect his mixtape to be available the first quarter of 2009.
This is A very inspirational moment for me, seeing such talent in our youth. You can tell that he is truely in Love with the music. Reminds me of my 1st years.
"Dream Catcher EP: an episode set in the demented imagination of up-and-coming producer/beatsmith, 00Genesis. Drawing from various styles and genres, 00Genesis manages to create a quirky yet lovable album, that at times will leave the listener thinking, "what the f*ck!" Mangled melodies, heavy drums and surreal sound-scapes set the emotive tone for this album; an album which can easily be the soundtrack for a hopeless romantic, or a pothead. Tracks such as "Early Bird" and the title track,"Dream Catcher" force the listener to submerge beneath the sounds and piece together an intuitive experience. Clocking in at approximately 21 minutes, "Dream Catcher" is only a glimpse of what "00" has in store. Look out!"
The Video Above was created by an Amazing artist named (VERVUE). I would go into more, but I am going to be doing an entire post surrounding his Art soon. Until then check out his work at ..... --->http://www.myspace.com/vervue<---

WORDS FROM THEHERO
It is w/ great pleasure I get to share w/ you the fine works of the mysterious beatsmith known as 00Genesis. What 1st drew me to this cat was the character in which has now been solidified as ()()GENESIS. I have no Idea what this cat looks like, nor do I care, nor does it matter as his beats are super dope. Altho for all I know Him could be A Her?!?!?!?! hmmmmm Nah, Im pretty Sure this SuperProducer is A Man. As I once had a common trait with MF DOOM, Now Joins the ranks is Double 0h, and for those who have no IDEA what the heck I am Talking about. I will somewhat hint at it.
THE HOBBYSHOP HEROstarted as an ALTER EGO/ALIASforDUTCHMASSIVE - I WOULD ROCK A MASK [EVERYWHERE] AND BATTLE CATS AND I WOULD NEVER TAKE OFF THE MASK.THIS WAS WELL WAY BEFORE MFDOOM BECAME POPULAR AND KNOWN FOR HIS MASK MORE THAN HIS MUSIC. for those True Dutchmassive Fans who picked up the JUNKPLANET ALBUM - which was created from 1997 - 2002, you will know EXACTLY what MASK i speak of. It was Displayed in the Foldout Artwork in a picture next to my Walkman, My fathers Jazz Drumsticks, My baby T shirt, ETC.... In Fact!!!!Give me A Second and lemme see if I can actually find this ish...(Pause)...........Ok, Im back....I found it.....So, I'll go ahead and post it up at the end of the post. YOU just make sure you check out the DREAM CATCHER EP.... WITHOUT A DOUBT.... My Favorite joint is BUTTON MASHING!!!!!!... That track ended up on a few Guest mixes I did, which I will get to in another post =) Also, try to find a track by 00Genesis called "Bicycle" or "bike" hmmm not sure.... ish is AMAZING THO.... ok Im GHOST!!!
Click Above to Download "The Love Suite" Or just click here =) ---------------------------------------------- One of my best friends and InhouseSuper Producer"DAVID LUKE" (the 17 year old Prodigy) put me onto this cat named Afta-1a few months back. After Listening to the joints he had on his Myspace Page I was extremely impressed. I introduced myself, said my peace and that was that. (after that) I didnt think about the name Afta-1 for a few months. Due to the fact there is So much music out there I kinda let my hype for this producer die out for a bit (Untill a few weeks ago) With this new great Feature on myspace which shows you when ever the Friends of your choice update virtually anything on Their page. I Saw Afta-1uploaded a track called "The Love Suite"and The name caught my eye because SUPER PRODUCER (TAKE) & I (Dutchmassive) have a track out called "The Dream Suite" so I Clicked on the track and ......
HEAVEN!!!!!!
Instant Goosebumps & Inspiration..... "The Love Suite" - Which is a Remix, or Sample Flip on A Already dopeTelepop Music track.
Afta-1 really Impressed me with this one, (scratch that) With Everything! ive heard duke post up
With his instrumental album, Aftathoughts Vol.1, Afta-1 gives you an opportunity to hear the music again. These aren’t backing tracks, this isn’t a beat tape: this is the soundtrack to your life.
You can find Afta-1 eight hours in the future. He’s sitting on a supernova, shooting down Pluto moons with love; then running back and laying the track in your lap. Brush the moon dust off your clothes and plug in your speakers for ashape-shifting, time-collapsing, body-breaking, heart-merging experience.
Afta-1beats leave your speakers to travel through the universe and give black holes new heartbeats. They’re playing this on Venus, they eat this for breakfast on Neptune, they live by this on Saturn. The love hums in the stratosphere, vibrating right back to your ears. Let the bass line touch base with you, down-deep. Fluff pillows for sleep and recline in the melody. Give way to drum patterns that change pulse patterns. Imbibe these rhythms and keep them for the journey. Pack these wavelengths in your suitcase, pour them in your flask, keep one in the car.

After a decade of releasing music, Dutchmassivehas spent the last 6 months planning a new form of attack (free digital downloading). After releasing several 12 inches in the late nineties and new millenium and his 1st solo album "Junk Planet" in 2004 on CD & Double Vinyl, Dutchmassive was asked by close friend and Rawkus A&R, Slopfunkdust to participate in the RAWKUS 50 project. In which fifty of today's leading independent hip hop artists would each release a digital album on Rawkus Records.
Dutch, having A few projects in the works gave Rawkus "Crush Your System" which featured the lead single "Better Man" (feat. Median&Von Pea) - Produced byillmind. The Album will be released on CD in Fall|Winter of 2008 on Domination Recordingsand will feature 5 Bonus tracks not on the original Rawkus release.
To hold his fans over and in an effort to reach an entire new audience. Dutch has decided to put together a small instrumental project around 25 minutes long setting the tone and mood of his upcoming projects.Futuristic, vintage, jazzy, mellow, boom bap, dusty yet so clean, basically just really good music. So get ready for Crush Your System / Music 2 Sleep To / Quit Work Make Music&The NEXT Final Fantasy. Not only does Dutch has 4 Full Length albums ready to unleash, but 1 of them is a double Cd, and another one will be released with A Theme based mixtape. In closing, Dutch hopes to spread "The DrumLove EP" to every Music, Fashion, Sneaker, Toy, Entertainment blog humanly possible. Coming soon will be another free digital download EP of fresh new songs with vocals. .
Beats by Dr. Dre Headphones ($400; Spring 2008) are the result of a collaboration between Dre, Jimmy Iovine, and Monster, and they look as good as they sound. The powered isolation 'phones will feature technologies new to headphones, including new driver technology, in order to offer natural, clean sound and rich, deep bass — something that should come as no surprise to Dre fans. In addition to all of that, Beats will include a carrying case with anti-microbial cleaning cloths, a special Monster headphone cable, and Monster’s iSonitalk, a microphone/headphone adapter for iPhones.
I've been using the "Sony MDR-V700" Headphones and they were and I emphasize "were" Amazing. In fact almost every producer, DJ, engineer I know was using these bad boys, and almost everyone's i know had the same problem. They Broke! lets hope the Beats by Dre headphones are a little more durable..
(FunFact: Music 2 Sleep To, Crush Your System & Project Reach, were all created in these headphones, so for best results in superb playback. Sitback, spark an L, and put on some Sony MDR-V700's and let the audio delites of Dutchmassive take you to The NEXT Final Fantasy")
